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 dispersa is a species of cryptophyte alga in the family Chroomonadaceae, found in freshwater and brackish aquatic environments. The specific epithet dispersa suggests a widely scattered or diffuse distribution or cellular arrangement. Cryptophytes in the genus Chroomonas are small, motile, unicellular flagellates widely distributed across freshwater, brackish, and marine environments globally. They are particularly important constituents of the nanoplankton and picoplankton size fractions in many aquatic systems. The combination of photosynthesis and occasional mixotrophy — the ability to ingest bacteria or dissolved organic matter — in some cryptophyte lineages gives these organisms metabolic flexibility that contributes to their ecological success across a range of trophic conditions. Chroomonas dispersa has been documented from European freshwater habitats and contributes to the baseline biodiversity of these systems. Cryptophytes as a group have been studied for their potential in biotechnology, including as sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids and natural pigments. The species has not been assessed by the IUCN.
