Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Chrysochromulina bergenensis is a unicellular marine haptophyte named after Bergen, Norway, near where it was first described, reflecting the strong tradition of phycological research centered on the Norwegian coast. It belongs to the genus Chrysochromulina, family Chrysochromulinaceae, class Prymnesiophyceae — a group of golden-brown microalgae distinguished by possession of a haptonema alongside two flagella. The haptonema is a flagella-like appendage unique to haptophytes that functions in prey capture and temporary substrate attachment. C. bergenensis is a nanoplankton species inhabiting coastal marine and occasionally brackish waters, and has been documented from Norwegian and Swedish coastal regions as well as from South American waters including Brazil, indicating a broader distribution than its type locality might suggest. In oligotrophic to mesotrophic marine environments, Chrysochromulina species including C. bergenensis contribute to picoeukaryotic and nanoeukaryotic primary production. The cell surface is ornamented with siliceous or organic scales whose morphology is species-diagnostic. Mixotrophy — the ability to both photosynthesize and ingest particulate food — is common across the genus and likely occurs in this species. C. bergenensis has not been assessed under IUCN Red List criteria and is classified as Not Evaluated. In ecological terms, haptophytes occupy key roles in oceanic carbon export, nutrient cycling, and as prey items for heterotrophic protists and copepods in temperate and boreal Atlantic food webs.

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.
