Chrysochromulina fragilis is a unicellular haptophyte microalga in the genus Chrysochromulina, family Chrysochromulinaceae, class Prymnesiophyceae. The specific epithet fragilis — meaning fragile — may reference the delicate nature of the cell's scale ornamentation or the structural fragility of the haptonema, which can be easily damaged during preparation of electron microscopy specimens. Chrysochromulina species are nanoplankton organisms characterized by golden-brown chloroplasts, two flagella of approximately equal length, and a coiling haptonema that is a defining feature of the haptophyte lineage. C. fragilis is known from Norwegian and Swedish coastal marine environments, reflecting the thorough phycological sampling of Scandinavian waters that produced a substantial proportion of the currently recognized Chrysochromulina species. In these cold temperate to subarctic coastal systems, haptophytes including C. fragilis contribute to the spring and summer phytoplankton biomass. The species engages in photosynthesis utilizing the characteristic haptophyte pigment suite, and may supplement carbon acquisition through bacterivory or ingestion of dissolved organic matter. Chrysochromulina species as a group produce a variety of secondary metabolites, and some species form large surface blooms in stratified coastal waters. C. fragilis itself has not been associated with harmful bloom events in the published literature. It carries a conservation status of Not Evaluated under IUCN criteria. Continued ultrastructural, biochemical, and molecular studies of Norwegian Chrysochromulina species continue to illuminate the extraordinary diversity of this genus.

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.
