Chrysochromulina alifera is a unicellular haptophyte microalga belonging to the class Prymnesiophyceae, order Prymnesiales, family Chrysochromulinaceae. Like all members of the genus Chrysochromulina, it is characterized by the presence of a coiling haptonema, a unique organelle distinct from flagella that assists in prey capture and surface attachment. C. alifera is a nanoplankton organism, typically ranging from a few micrometers in diameter, and forms part of the phytoplankton communities in marine and occasionally brackish coastal waters. The species was documented from Norwegian and Swedish coastal waters, habitats typical for many Chrysochromulina taxa that were first described by Scandinavian phycologists during the mid-twentieth century surveys of northern European marine microflora. These waters provide cold, nutrient-rich conditions suitable for haptophyte proliferation. C. alifera, like its congeners, likely plays a role in marine carbon cycling and is capable of mixotrophic nutrition, supplementing photosynthesis by ingesting bacteria and small organic particles. The species has not been formally evaluated under IUCN criteria, as microalgal taxa at this taxonomic level are rarely assessed due to difficulties in delimiting populations and determining extinction risk in planktonic organisms. Current conservation status is listed as Not Evaluated. Its ecological significance lies within the broader context of marine microbial food webs, where haptophytes serve as primary producers and food sources for zooplankton and protozoans.

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.
