Chrysolykos angulatus is a unicellular freshwater chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysolykos, class Chrysophyceae. The genus Chrysolykos is a small and specialized group within the golden algae, distinguished by its unique lorica structure — a rigid outer envelope enclosing the cell that bears distinctive angular or geometric features. The species epithet angulatus — angled or angular — directly references the characteristic angular profile of this species' lorica, distinguishing it from related species with more rounded forms. C. angulatus has been documented from Norwegian freshwater environments, consistent with the concentration of Chrysolykos species records in Scandinavian limnological surveys. These cold, typically nutrient-poor freshwater systems provide favorable conditions for chrysophyte diversity. The species inhabits the photic zone of freshwater lakes and ponds, where it contributes to primary production as a photoautotroph. Like other chrysophytes, C. angulatus possesses chloroplasts with chlorophylls a and c and fucoxanthin-type carotenoids, producing the golden-brown coloration typical of the group. Chrysolykos cells are small nanoplankton organisms whose exact ecological role in freshwater food webs is not well studied, though they likely participate in bacterial grazing and serve as food for small zooplankton. The genus is rarely encountered in high abundance and is considered a minor component of most phytoplankton communities. C. angulatus has not been evaluated under IUCN criteria and is listed as Not Evaluated, reflecting the general status of freshwater microalgal taxa for which detailed population data are unavailable.

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.
