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 crustatorum is a halophilic gram-negative bacterium in the family Halomonadaceae, closely related to other salt-tolerant members of the genus Cobetia. This aerobic, chemoorganotrophic organism was originally described from saline crustacean-associated environments, with its species epithet 'crustatorum' referring to its association with crustaceans. Like its congeners, C. crustatorum is adapted to thrive in environments with sodium chloride concentrations well above those tolerable by most mesophilic bacteria, typically growing optimally at 5–15% NaCl. The organism exhibits the characteristic gram-negative cell wall architecture and typically appears as short rods or ovoid cells under microscopy. Cobetia crustatorum has been documented from coastal Taiwanese marine habitats, where it participates in the decomposition of organic materials in saline sediments and associated with marine invertebrates. It produces extremolytes such as ectoine that protect cellular machinery from osmotic stress and desiccation. The organism is aerobic and motile, using polar flagella for locomotion in its aqueous saline environment. Taxonomically, the genus Cobetia was reclassified from Halomonas following phylogenetic analyses that revealed distinct evolutionary lineages within the broader Halomonadaceae family. Research on Cobetia species is ongoing due to their potential applications in biotechnology, particularly for biosurfactant and extremolyte production in industrial settings. Conservation status has not been evaluated 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.
