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.

Colacium sideropus is a microscopic euglenoid protist belonging to the family Euglenaceae, characterized by its sessile, colonial lifestyle attaching to aquatic invertebrates and zooplankton. Members of the genus Colacium are distinguished from free-swimming euglenoids by their stalked or clustered growth form, anchoring to the bodies of crustaceans such as copepods and cladocerans in freshwater environments. Like other photosynthetic euglenoids, Colacium possesses chloroplasts derived from secondary endosymbiosis with a green alga, allowing it to perform photosynthesis under favorable light conditions. The relationship with host invertebrates is generally considered epibiotic rather than parasitic, with the protist colonizing the external surfaces of its host without causing significant harm. Colacium sideropus occurs in freshwater lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams where its zooplankton hosts are abundant. Its ecological role includes contributing to microbial food webs and nutrient cycling within freshwater ecosystems. As with many microscopic protists, its true distribution and abundance are difficult to assess from macroscopic surveys, and it is likely globally distributed wherever suitable hosts exist in freshwater habitats.
