Chroococcus macrococcus is a cyanobacterium in the family Chroococcaceae, belonging to a group of unicellular to loosely colonial coccoid cyanobacteria distributed in freshwater and moist terrestrial environments. The specific epithet macrococcus refers to the large size of the cells, distinguishing this species from smaller-celled members of the genus. Chroococcus cells are characterized by their spherical shape, division by binary fission into pairs or tetrad arrangements, and enclosure within distinct gelatinous sheaths. The outer sheath layers are often visibly stratified in older colonies. Cyanobacteria of the Chroococcaceae occupy a broad range of aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats worldwide, from standing and flowing freshwaters to damp soil, rocks, tree bark, and the surfaces of other organisms. They are among the most ecologically resilient of photosynthetic microorganisms, tolerating desiccation, temperature extremes, and nutrient-poor conditions. Chroococcus macrococcus has been recorded from European freshwater localities. Its ecological significance lies primarily in contributing to primary production in aquatic communities. Like most microorganisms, it has not been formally assessed under IUCN criteria.

Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

붉은꼬리벌새(Amazilia tzacatl)는 중앙아메리카와 남아메리카 북서부에서 가장 흔한 벌새 중 하나로, 녹색 상체와 선명한 적갈색 꼬리가 특징인 중형 종이다. 멕시코에서 에콰도르, 트리니다드까지 해발 0~2,100m의 숲 가장자리, 정원, 농장, 2차 성장림 등 다양한 서식지에서 발견된다. 먹이 식물과 급이대에서 영역을 적극적으로 방어하며, 서식 범위 전역의 정원에서 자주 목격된다. IUCN 관심필요종이다.
