common bubble snail

The common bubble snail (<em>Akera bullata</em>) is a marine gastropod mollusc found in the coastal waters of Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits terrestrial and aquatic environments including forests and freshwater-adjacent marine areas, often occurring in shallow subtidal and intertidal zones of temperate European seas. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the family Akeridae, the common bubble snail is characterized by its thin, fragile shell and its ability to swim briefly by flapping its large, wing-like parapodia. The species often forages on algae and detritus in sandy and muddy seafloor habitats, particularly in sheltered bays and estuaries. The common bubble snail typically aggregates in large numbers during the spawning season, producing gelatinous egg masses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Cryptomonas minorはフィコビリン含有色素体を持つ圧縮した豆形の細胞体を持つ小型淡水クリプトモナド藻類で、湖、池、緩やかな水域で見られる。長さの異なる二本の鞭毛を使って移動し、光合成が可能である。Cryptomonas種は淡水植物プランクトン群集の重要なメンバーで、動物プランクトンの餌となる。
