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.

Coelosphaerium aerugineum is a colonial planktonic cyanobacterium in the family Merismopediaceae, forming spherical to irregularly shaped gelatinous colonies in which individual cells are arranged in a peripheral layer surrounding a central mucilaginous matrix. Like other members of the genus, C. aerugineum is found in freshwater lakes, ponds, and slow-flowing waters of the temperate zone, including Scandinavia. Cyanobacteria are among the oldest life forms on Earth, contributing to oxygen evolution in ancient oceans, and continue to play fundamental roles in modern aquatic biogeochemistry through nitrogen fixation and primary production. Coelosphaerium species can form blooms under nutrient-enriched eutrophic conditions, although they are generally less notorious for bloom formation than genera such as Microcystis or Dolichospermum. The spherical colonial architecture provides some protection against grazing by zooplankton, while the cells contain gas vesicles that assist in vertical positioning within the water column. Distribution of Coelosphaerium aerugineum spans temperate freshwater habitats across Europe, including northern countries such as Norway and Sweden, where it occurs in lakes and reservoirs during warmer months. No formal conservation assessment has been undertaken for this species, as freshwater cyanobacteria at this taxonomic level are generally not 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.
