흰머리독수리(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)는 미국의 국조이자 미국 자연 보전 성공의 상징으로, 날개 폭이 최대 2.4미터에 달하며 북미 전역의 수변 삼림과 습지에 서식한다. 주로 물고기를 포식하는 강력한 공중 포식자이자 청소 동물로, DDT 오염과 남획으로 1960년대에 멸종 위기에 처했으나 농약 사용 금지와 멸종위기종보호법 시행 이후 극적으로 개체수가 회복되었다.

Chroomonas baltica is a species of cryptophyte alga in the family Chroomonadaceae, as indicated by its specific epithet, associated with the Baltic Sea region and likely occurring in brackish and coastal waters of that area. Cryptophytes are an ancient and distinctive group of eukaryotic algae whose cells contain the evolutionary remnant of a red algal endosymbiont in the form of a nucleomorph — a reduced nucleus retained from the secondary endosymbiotic event that established their plastid lineage. Members of the genus Chroomonas are small, biflagellate cells typically olive-green to brown or blue-green in color, reflecting the mixture of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobiliproteins present in their distinctive cryptophyte plastids. Chroomonas baltica is likely adapted to the low-salinity brackish conditions of the Baltic Sea, one of the world's largest brackish water bodies, where salinity gradients create unique ecological conditions and specialized communities of micro- and macroalgae. Cryptophytes are important components of Baltic phytoplankton communities, contributing to primary production and serving as food for microzooplankton. The species has not been assessed by the IUCN, consistent with the treatment of most microalgal taxa.
