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.

Cobetia amphilecti is a halophilic, gram-negative bacterium belonging to the family Halomonadaceae within the class Gammaproteobacteria. First characterized from marine and saline environments, this aerobic rod-shaped organism thrives in conditions of elevated salinity that would inhibit the growth of most other bacteria. Like other members of the genus Cobetia, it possesses a sophisticated osmotic stress response system that accumulates compatible solutes—primarily ectoine and hydroxyectoine—to balance intracellular osmotic pressure against hypersaline surroundings. Cobetia amphilecti has been isolated from coastal marine sediments and saline water samples across the Indo-Pacific region, with documented collections from Taiwanese coastal habitats. The organism is motile by means of a single polar flagellum and is capable of utilizing a broad range of organic compounds as sole carbon and energy sources, including various carbohydrates and amino acids. Its metabolic versatility allows it to occupy diverse niches in marine biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the degradation of organic matter in high-salinity environments. As a member of Halomonadaceae, Cobetia amphilecti is of biotechnological interest for its production of ectoine, a commercially valuable extremolyte used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals for its cellular protective properties. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status by the IUCN.

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.
