gorilla

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. 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 pringsheimii is a haptophyte microalga in the family Prymnesiaceae, named for the German botanist Nathanael Pringsheim, who made foundational contributions to algal biology in the nineteenth century. The species follows the Chrysochromulina body plan: a biflagellate cell with a haptonema and a surface coat of organic scales arranged in overlapping layers. Scale morphology observed under electron microscopy provides the principal characters used to distinguish C. pringsheimii from related species. The species is found in marine and occasionally brackish coastal waters of northern Europe, consistent with the biogeographic concentration of described Chrysochromulina diversity in Scandinavian seas. As a nanoplankton primary producer, it participates in carbon fixation and the transfer of photosynthetically fixed carbon to higher trophic levels via grazing by heterotrophic nanoflagellates and microzooplankton. Some Chrysochromulina species produce dimethylsulfoniopropionate, contributing to the oceanic sulfur cycle. The conservation status of C. pringsheimii has not been evaluated by the IUCN, and the species is listed as Not Evaluated. Global environmental sequencing suggests that the diversity of haptophyte nanoflagellates in the world's oceans greatly exceeds what has been formally described.

gorilla

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.
