ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

Chroomonas acuta is a species of cryptophyte alga in the family Chroomonadaceae, found in freshwater and brackish aquatic environments. Cryptophytes are biflagellate, unicellular algae characterized by the presence of a unique organelle called the nucleomorph — a remnant nucleus from a secondary endosymbiotic event in which an ancestral flagellate engulfed a red alga. This evolutionary heritage is reflected in the distinctive combination of pigments in the plastid, including chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c, and phycobiliproteins such as phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, which give cryptophytes their often blue-green to red-brown color. Chroomonas species are small flagellates that swim using two unequal flagella arising from a ventral groove. They are important members of freshwater phytoplankton communities, particularly in the cold-water picoplankton. Chroomonas acuta has a more pointed or acute cell shape compared to some related species, as indicated by its epithet. The species has been documented from European freshwater habitats. Cryptophytes contribute to primary production in freshwater and marine ecosystems and are a significant food source for heterotrophic protists and filter-feeding zooplankton. The species has not been assessed by the IUCN.
