Chrysochromulina campanulifera is a marine haptophyte microalga belonging to the genus Chrysochromulina within the family Chrysochromulinaceae, class Prymnesiophyceae. The species epithet campanulifera, meaning bell-bearing, references a distinctive morphological feature of the cell — likely a bell-shaped scale or structural component visible under electron microscopy. This feature exemplifies how fine-scale ultrastructural characters drive species discrimination within Chrysochromulina, a genus currently containing more than fifty described species. C. campanulifera inhabits coastal marine waters and has been documented from Norwegian and Swedish coastal regions, environments that have yielded a disproportionate number of haptophyte species descriptions due to focused Scandinavian phycological research programs from the 1950s onward. The species is a nanoplankton organism — typically two to twenty micrometers in diameter — that participates in primary production and marine carbon cycling. Like other haptophytes, it possesses chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and c along with carotenoid accessory pigments that give the cells their characteristic golden-brown coloration. The coiling haptonema, a defining feature of the genus, distinguishes Chrysochromulina from related genera such as Prymnesium and Phaeocystis. C. campanulifera has not been formally assessed under IUCN criteria and retains a conservation status of Not Evaluated. Research on this and related species informs understanding of nanoplankton diversity, marine biogeography, and the ecological dynamics of temperate and boreal coastal oceans.

Tigre

El felino mas grande del mundo, el tigre puede superar los 300 kg y habita bosques desde el Extremo Oriente ruso hasta el Sudeste Asiatico. Es un depredador solitario de emboscada con su caracteristico pelaje naranja y negro a rayas que proporciona camuflaje entre la luz filtrada. Esta en Peligro Critico, con menos de 4.000 individuos que quedan en estado silvestre debido a la caza furtiva y la deforestacion.
