Chroococcus minutus is a cyanobacterium in the family Chroococcaceae, recognized as one of the smaller species in the genus. It is distributed in freshwater habitats across temperate regions, including Scandinavia and northern Europe, where it has been documented in taxonomic surveys of freshwater algae and cyanobacteria. Chroococcus species in general are characterized by their simple morphology — spherical or hemispherical cells, binary fission, and organization into pairs or tetrads within gelatinous sheaths. Chroococcus minutus occurs in the plankton and periphyton of lakes, ponds, and slowly flowing waters with low to moderate nutrient levels. Cyanobacteria of this type play roles in primary production and, in certain metabolically active strains, may contribute to nitrogen fixation in nitrogen-limited aquatic systems. The taxonomy of small-celled Chroococcus species remains challenging, with morphological overlap between species and significant variation in cell size related to environmental conditions and growth stage. Recent molecular studies have revealed that morphologically defined genera such as Chroococcus represent multiple phylogenetic lineages, indicating likely future taxonomic rearrangements. The species is not assessed by the IUCN.

コンゴウインコ

南北アメリカ大陸で最も鮮やかな色彩を誇る鳥の一つであるコンゴウインコ(Ara macao)は、鮮烈な赤・黄・青の羽毛と翼開長最大1メートルの大きな翼を持ちます。メキシコからボリビアにかけての湿潤な低地森林に生息し、高い知性を持ち、最長75年の長寿で生涯を通じてつがいを形成します。種子の毒素を無害化するためにミネラル豊富な土を摂取するクレイ・リックまで長距離を移動します。軽度懸念に指定されていますが、生息地の喪失とペット取引により地域的に脅威にさらされています。
