世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種(CR)に指定されている。

Neidium bisulcataはNeidiaceae科に属する淡水羽状珪藻で、属名の由来となった各殻に二つの縦方向の溝(sulci)が特徴である。湖、湿地、緩流小川を含む軟水で酸性から中性の淡水生息地に生育する。Neidium種は清澄で電気伝導度の低い水域の指標と見なされており、有機汚染に感受性が高い。
