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。

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。
