gorilla

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。

Tolypothrix rivularisは淡水の小川・川・池で見られる異形細胞含有糸状シアノバクテリアで、流水生息地の岩石や水生植物に付着する。異形細胞を通じて大気中の窒素を固定し、属の特徴である偽分枝フィラメントを形成する。温帯流水淡水生態系の栄養素循環に寄与する。
