Chrysococcus triporus is a unicellular freshwater chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysococcus, class Chrysophyceae. The species epithet triporus — three-pored — refers to the presence of three distinct pores in the lorica, the outer proteinaceous or polysaccharide envelope that encloses the Chrysococcus cell. Pore number and arrangement provide useful taxonomic characters in this genus, alongside lorica shape, surface texture, and the presence or absence of additional projections or ornamentation. C. triporus has been recorded from Norwegian and Swedish freshwater environments, fitting the established pattern of chrysophyte diversity in Scandinavian lakes and ponds. Records from Brazil suggest a broader distribution, though it is uncertain whether Scandinavian and South American populations represent a single species or cryptic lineages that require molecular resolution. The species inhabits the limnetic zone of freshwater bodies, contributing to primary production through photosynthesis with chlorophylls a and c and fucoxanthin pigments. The cell body is enclosed within the lorica from which one or two flagella emerge through a specialized opening, enabling active swimming in the water column. Chrysococcus species function as prey for ciliates, flagellates, and zooplankton, linking primary production to higher trophic levels in freshwater food webs. C. triporus may also produce siliceous stomatocysts as resting stages that can persist in sediments. The species has not been formally evaluated under IUCN criteria and retains a conservation status of Not Evaluated.

Collared Titi

The Collared Titi, known scientifically as <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em>, is a small New World monkey belonging to the family Pitheciidae. <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em> is characterised by its typically dense, soft fur and a pale or white collar or band around the neck and throat region, which gives the species its common and scientific names. Titi monkeys are generally arboreal and highly social, typically living in small family groups occupying territories in forested habitats. They are known for their distinctive pair-bonding behaviour and loud territorial vocalisations. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Titi is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
