Chestnut-fronted Macaw

중형 마코앵무로 멕시코 남부에서 볼리비아와 브라질에 이르는 중앙 및 남아메리카 열대 우림에 서식하며, 밤색 이마, 붉은 어깨 반점, 청색 날개 깃털을 가진 주로 녹색 깃털이 특징이다. 진정한 마코앵무 중 가장 작은 종으로, 산림 가장자리, 사바나, 2차 삼림에 서식하며 종종 농작물을 습격해 지역 농민들에게 인기가 없다. 인기 있는 사육용 새이지만, 야생 개체군은 포획과 삼림 벌채로 인한 압박을 받고 있다.

Chrysosphaerella brevispina is a colonial chrysophyte alga in the genus Chrysosphaerella, class Chrysophyceae. The genus is defined by its colonial organization: cells are arranged in spherical or discoid colonies in which each cell bears siliceous scales on its surface and projects stiff, spine-like silica bristles outward. The specific epithet brevispina (Latin: short spine) describes the relatively short silica spines that distinguish this species from congeners bearing longer projections. C. brevispina is found in freshwater environments, particularly in oligotrophic lakes and ponds of Scandinavia, where chrysophyte communities are richest. Chrysosphaerella species, like other chrysophytes, thrive in cold, clear, soft-water habitats and are sensitive indicators of water quality. The silica spines and scales produced by Chrysosphaerella cells are preserved in lake sediments as microfossils, providing paleoenvironmental records stretching back thousands of years. The spines may function as anti-grazing structures, reducing ingestion by zooplankton. The species has not been evaluated for conservation status by the IUCN and is listed as Not Evaluated. Its ecology and distribution in lakes outside Scandinavia are incompletely documented.
