Chrysococcus rufescens is a loricate chrysophyte alga in the genus Chrysococcus. The specific epithet rufescens (Latin: reddish or becoming reddish) likely refers to a brownish-golden coloration of the lorica or the pigmented cell contents visible under light microscopy, reflecting the characteristic golden-brown color imparted by fucoxanthin and related carotenoids in chrysophyte chloroplasts. The lorica of C. rufescens encloses the cell and has an apical opening through which the flagellum extends. The species inhabits freshwater environments in northern Europe, including lakes and ponds in Scandinavia. Golden algae (chrysophytes) are typically most abundant in oligotrophic, cold, and poorly buffered waters, making them sensitive indicators of environmental change. C. rufescens contributes to primary production and the microbial food web as a mixotrophic nanoplankton organism capable of both photosynthesis and bacterivory. Chrysophyte loricas are preserved in lake sediments as stomatocysts and scale assemblages, providing long-term paleoecological records. The species has not been evaluated for conservation status by the IUCN and is categorized as Not Evaluated. Accurate identification of C. rufescens requires electron microscopy of lorica ultrastructure.
イヌワシ
世界で最も強力で広く分布する猛禽類の一つであるイヌワシは、翼開長が2.2mに達し、北半球全域の山岳地帯に生息する。卓越した空中ハンターで、滑空飛行と時速200km以上の急降下を利用してウサギ、ノウサギ、ジリス、時には子鹿やキツネを捕食する。多くの文化において数千年にわたる鷹狩り伝統の中心的存在であった。
