Chrysochromulina parva is a small haptophyte microalga belonging to the genus Chrysochromulina in the family Prymnesiaceae. The specific epithet parva (Latin: small) denotes its cell dimensions relative to other congeners. Structurally, cells possess two unequal flagella and a haptonema, the three-membrane-bound appendage that defines the class Haptophyta and provides the genus with its feeding and attachment capabilities. Organic scales cover the entire cell surface, and their ultrastructure is examined by electron microscopy for species identification. C. parva inhabits marine photic-zone waters in temperate and cold seas, where it forms part of the nanoplankton community. Haptophytes as a group contribute substantially to global marine primary production and produce significant quantities of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a compound with important implications for climate regulation via its atmospheric breakdown product dimethylsulfide. C. parva has not been formally assessed for conservation status and is listed as Not Evaluated by the IUCN. Like most free-living protists, it lacks the discrete geographic range limits that make conventional threat categorization applicable. Molecular surveys continue to expand knowledge of Chrysochromulina diversity in undersampled ocean regions.

コウテイペンギン

世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン（Aptenodytes forsteri）は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。
