Chrysochromulina parva is a small haptophyte microalga belonging to the genus Chrysochromulina in the family Prymnesiaceae. The specific epithet parva (Latin: small) denotes its cell dimensions relative to other congeners. Structurally, cells possess two unequal flagella and a haptonema, the three-membrane-bound appendage that defines the class Haptophyta and provides the genus with its feeding and attachment capabilities. Organic scales cover the entire cell surface, and their ultrastructure is examined by electron microscopy for species identification. C. parva inhabits marine photic-zone waters in temperate and cold seas, where it forms part of the nanoplankton community. Haptophytes as a group contribute substantially to global marine primary production and produce significant quantities of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a compound with important implications for climate regulation via its atmospheric breakdown product dimethylsulfide. C. parva has not been formally assessed for conservation status and is listed as Not Evaluated by the IUCN. Like most free-living protists, it lacks the discrete geographic range limits that make conventional threat categorization applicable. Molecular surveys continue to expand knowledge of Chrysochromulina diversity in undersampled ocean regions.

지구상에서 가장 키가 큰 동물인 기린(Giraffa camelopardalis)은 키가 5.5m에 달하고 체중이 최대 1,750kg에 이를 수 있다. 모든 포유류와 같이 7개의 경추로 이루어진 긴 목은 아프리카 사바나와 산림의 아카시아 나무 먹이 섭취를 위해 진화했다. 영구적인 결속 없이 느슨한 무리를 이루며 생활하는 사회적 동물로, 초저주파음과 몸짓으로 소통한다. 서식지 상실과 밀렵으로 개체군이 감소하고 있는 취약 종이다.
