Chrysococcus cystophorus is a unicellular freshwater chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysococcus, family Chromulinaceae, class Chrysophyceae. The specific epithet cystophorus, meaning cyst-bearing, references this species' relationship with siliceous cyst formation — a shared feature across many chrysophytes that produce species-specific resting stages called stomatocysts or statospores. In chrysophytes, the stomatocyst is a silicified internal cyst with a characteristic plug-sealed pore, and its morphology is often used as an additional taxonomic character in species identification. C. cystophorus inhabits freshwater environments and has been recorded from Norwegian waters along with other Scandinavian localities, fitting the pattern of chrysophyte species diversity documented through freshwater surveys in the region. Chrysococcus cells are enclosed within a lorica — a proteinaceous or organic outer vessel — from which flagella emerge for locomotion. The lorica shape and ornamentation, along with the dimensions and flagellar arrangement, are primary characters used for species identification. Like other chrysophytes, C. cystophorus is golden-brown in color owing to chlorophylls a and c together with fucoxanthin pigments in the chloroplast. Chrysococcus species function as primary producers in freshwater plankton communities, particularly in oligotrophic lakes where smaller algae outcompete larger taxa. C. cystophorus has not been evaluated under IUCN Red List criteria and is listed as Not Evaluated, consistent with the general status of freshwater microalgal taxa.

Yellow-collared Lovebird

황금목사랑앵무(Agapornis personatus)는 탄자니아 북부 내륙 건조 지역에 제한적으로 분포하는 소형 앵무새로, 노란 목테와 보라빛 파란색 이마가 특징입니다. 군집성이 강하며 관목 사바나에 서식하고, 애완용으로 인기가 높아 야생에서도 탈출 개체가 전 세계적으로 정착했습니다. IUCN 적색목록에서 최소관심(LC)으로 분류됩니다.
