Chroomonas nordstedtii is a species of cryptophyte alga in the family Chroomonadaceae, named after the Swedish botanist Carl Fredrik Otto Nordstedt, a prominent phycologist of the nineteenth century who made significant contributions to the study of freshwater algae and desmids. Cryptophytes in the genus Chroomonas are small, biflagellate unicells widely distributed in freshwater and brackish environments globally, contributing to planktonic diversity and primary production. They are distinguished from other flagellate algae by their unique cryptophyte plastid, nucleomorph, and ejectosomes — proteinaceous coiled structures unique to the group. Chroomonas nordstedtii has been documented from European freshwater habitats, including Scandinavian localities that were well studied by Nordic phycologists in the classical period of algal taxonomy. The species is part of the diverse microalgal flora of boreal and temperate freshwater ecosystems. Cryptophytes contribute to planktonic food webs as prey for heterotrophic protists and small metazoans, and as high-quality dietary components in zooplankton feeding experiments. The species has not been assessed under IUCN criteria.

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
