Achnanthes longipesは粘液柄によって底質に直立した状態で付着する有柄性底生珪藻で、細長い細胞が特徴である。海岸の岩、貝殻、大型藻類などに付着し、海洋沿岸域や汽水域の潮間帯に生息する。この光合成珪藻は沿岸海洋生息地の底生バイオフィルム群集に寄与している。

Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
