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.

jaguar

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
