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 kuetzingianum is a colonial planktonic cyanobacterium in the family Merismopediaceae, named in honour of the nineteenth-century German phycologist Friedrich Traugott Kützing, who made foundational contributions to the study of algae and cyanobacteria. The species forms spherical to globular mucilaginous colonies with cells arranged near the periphery of a clear gelatinous matrix—the characteristic architecture of the genus. Individual cells are small, typically 2–5 micrometres in diameter, and possess gas vesicles that confer buoyancy regulation, enabling the organism to position itself advantageously in stratified water columns. Coelosphaerium kuetzingianum has been recorded from freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and ponds across temperate northern Europe, including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as well as from Taiwan, indicating a broad latitudinal tolerance. Its occurrence in both boreal and subtropical settings suggests morphological plasticity or the presence of distinct ecotypes within the species concept. As with other members of the genus, it participates in aquatic food webs as a primary producer and is consumed by filter-feeding zooplankton such as cladocerans and rotifers. Eutrophication resulting from agricultural nutrient loading can stimulate cyanobacterial growth in affected water bodies. No IUCN conservation assessment has been undertaken for this planktonic cyanobacterium.

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.
