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.

Euglena desesはEuglenaceae科の光合成ミドリムシ類鞭毛虫で、顕著なミドリムシ運動(代謝運動)を行う細長い円柱形の細胞体で区別されます。水たまり、溝、湿った土壌表面を含む栄養豊富な淡水環境に生息し、しばしば緑色バイオフィルムを形成します。単一の突出鞭毛で光合成を最適化するために光に向かって移動します。
