Chrysococcus bisetus is a species of unicellular chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysococcus, class Chrysophyceae, order Chromulinales. The genus Chrysococcus is characterized by cells enclosed within a lorica — a secreted outer case or vesicle — through which flagella protrude, a structure that distinguishes it from many other chrysophytes. The epithet bisetus, meaning two-bristled, describes a diagnostic feature of the lorica, which bears two bristle-like projections used for species identification. Chrysococcus species inhabit freshwater and brackish environments, typically occurring in cool, nutrient-poor to moderately enriched lakes, ponds, and slow-flowing water bodies. C. bisetus has been recorded from Norwegian and Swedish waters, consistent with the historical focus of chrysophyte research in Scandinavian freshwater habitats, and also from Brazilian waters, suggesting a broader distribution. Chrysophytes including Chrysococcus species are important components of oligotrophic lake phytoplankton, where they contribute to primary production and serve as food for zooplankton. The golden-brown coloration of Chrysococcus arises from chlorophylls a and c together with fucoxanthin, pigments shared with other heterokonts. Unlike diatoms, chrysophytes produce chrysolaminarin as their storage carbohydrate rather than starch. C. bisetus has not been assessed under IUCN criteria and is listed as Not Evaluated. As with most freshwater microalgae, global population size and distribution are poorly characterized, limiting meaningful conservation assessment.

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.
