Colacium sideropus is a microscopic euglenoid protist belonging to the family Euglenaceae, characterized by its sessile, colonial lifestyle attaching to aquatic invertebrates and zooplankton. Members of the genus Colacium are distinguished from free-swimming euglenoids by their stalked or clustered growth form, anchoring to the bodies of crustaceans such as copepods and cladocerans in freshwater environments. Like other photosynthetic euglenoids, Colacium possesses chloroplasts derived from secondary endosymbiosis with a green alga, allowing it to perform photosynthesis under favorable light conditions. The relationship with host invertebrates is generally considered epibiotic rather than parasitic, with the protist colonizing the external surfaces of its host without causing significant harm. Colacium sideropus occurs in freshwater lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams where its zooplankton hosts are abundant. Its ecological role includes contributing to microbial food webs and nutrient cycling within freshwater ecosystems. As with many microscopic protists, its true distribution and abundance are difficult to assess from macroscopic surveys, and it is likely globally distributed wherever suitable hosts exist in freshwater habitats.

jaguar

アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。
