Chrysococcus diaphanus is a loricate chrysophyte alga in the genus Chrysococcus, family Chromulinaceae. The epithet diaphanus (Greek/Latin: transparent or see-through) describes the delicate, translucent quality of the lorica that encloses the cell body. This silica-reinforced or organic covering is a diagnostic feature of the genus, encasing the photosynthetic protoplast while allowing the flagellum to project through an apical aperture. C. diaphanus is found in freshwater and brackish environments, with records from Scandinavian and northern European lakes and ponds. Chrysophytes of the loricate type are common in oligotrophic and subarctic freshwaters, where they form a regular component of the flagellated phytoplankton and nanoplankton communities. The genus Chrysococcus includes species that range from purely phototrophic to fully heterotrophic, with many displaying intermediate mixotrophic strategies depending on light availability and prey abundance. Loricated chrysophytes are also valuable in paleolimnology because the siliceous cysts and scales they produce are preserved in lake sediments for millennia, recording past environmental conditions. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status and is listed as Not Evaluated by the IUCN.

Fischer's Lovebird

피셔러브버드(Agapornis fischeri)는 탄자니아와 케냐의 빅토리아 호수 주변 사바나 우림과 산림 가장자리가 원산지인 소형 화려한 색의 사랑새이다. 몸은 녹색이며 머리와 목은 선명한 주황색, 부리는 붉다. 강한 쌍결합을 형성하여 서로 깃털을 다듬어 주는 행동이 '러브버드'라는 이름의 유래가 되었다. 전 세계 애완용 포획으로 인해 준위협으로 등재되었으며, 사육 환경에서 다양한 색 변이종이 개발되었다.
