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.

Cocconeis neodiminuta is a small, adnate diatom in the family Cocconeidaceae, distinguished from related species within the genus by its diminutive frustule size and specific silica wall ornamentation patterns resolvable by electron microscopy. As a member of the genus Cocconeis, this species is an epiphytic organism that lives attached to the surfaces of aquatic plants, filamentous algae, sediment particles, and submerged solid substrates in freshwater and occasionally brackish environments. The frustule—the intricate silica cell wall that encases the diatom cell—consists of two overlapping halves (valves) with species-specific striation patterns and pore fields (areolae) used in taxonomic identification. Cocconeis neodiminuta has been documented from freshwater environments across South America and various other regions, suggesting a broad cosmopolitan distribution consistent with many freshwater diatom taxa. The species, like other cocconeid diatoms, reproduces primarily by asexual binary fission, with periodic sexual reproduction through auxospore formation to restore cell size after successive divisions cause progressive size reduction. As a photosynthetic primary producer in benthic communities, this diatom contributes to the base of aquatic food webs and participates in the biological cycling of silicon—an element critical to diatom frustule production and removed from solution as diatoms proliferate. Its 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.
