Agile antechinus

The Agile antechinus (Antechinus agilis) is a species in the genus Antechinus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Chroococcus turicensis is a species of cyanobacteria in the family Chroococcaceae, with the specific epithet turicensis referring to Turicum, the Latin name for the city of Zurich, Switzerland, suggesting that the species was first described or commonly documented from Swiss freshwater habitats. Chroococcus species are small, coccoid cyanobacteria occurring in pairs or tetrads within gelatinous sheaths in freshwater and moist environments. Chroococcus turicensis has been recorded from lakes and other freshwater localities in central Europe, including the alpine and pre-alpine lakes of Switzerland. Alpine and subalpine freshwater bodies are generally oligotrophic, and the cyanobacteria that inhabit them tend to be well adapted to low nutrient concentrations and clear, well-lit waters. The freshwater phytoplankton of Alpine lakes has been extensively studied due to the ecological and economic importance of these water bodies as drinking water reservoirs and indicators of environmental change. Chroococcus turicensis contributes to the diversity of the cyanobacterial component of such communities. Like all Chroococcus species, it is a prokaryote whose conservation status has not been assessed by the IUCN.
