Chrysochromulina ephippium is a marine haptophyte microalga in the genus Chrysochromulina, class Prymnesiophyceae, order Prymnesiales. The specific epithet ephippium, from Latin meaning saddle, describes a distinctive saddle-shaped morphological feature of the organism — most likely a scale type visible under electron microscopy that is diagnostic for this species. Scale morphology, haptonema length, and cell dimensions collectively define species boundaries within the genus. C. ephippium has been recorded from Norwegian coastal marine waters, a region extensively surveyed for haptophyte diversity during the mid-to-late twentieth century by Norwegian phycologists including Magne Parke and Irene Manton. These surveys established Norway as a center of described Chrysochromulina diversity, with many type specimens collected from fjords and coastal shelf areas. The species is a nanoplankton organism adapted to pelagic coastal habitats, where it occupies a niche as a photosynthetic primary producer, potentially supplemented by phagotrophic feeding on bacteria. Chrysochromulina species contribute to marine carbon cycling and serve as food for microzooplankton and other planktonic grazers. The cell's golden-brown pigmentation reflects a chloroplast composition rich in chlorophylls a and c and fucoxanthin-type carotenoids, shared across the Prymnesiophyceae. C. ephippium has not been formally evaluated under IUCN criteria and is classified as Not Evaluated, consistent with the general approach to marine nanoplankton taxa whose global population status cannot be readily estimated.

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.
