Colacium simplex is a photosynthetic euglenoid protist in the family Euglenaceae, notable for its epibiotic lifestyle as a stalked organism colonizing the surfaces of freshwater crustaceans and other zooplankton. This microscopic species belongs to a genus that bridges free-swimming euglenoid behavior and sessile, colonial existence, attaching to hosts via mucilaginous stalks. Colacium simplex, as its name implies, exhibits a relatively uncomplicated morphology compared to other genus members, with simple colony structures that anchor to copepods, cladocerans, and occasionally other small invertebrates. The organism photosynthesizes when light is available, using chloroplasts derived from the green algal endosymbiont common to euglenoids, while potentially employing osmotrophic nutrition in darker conditions. Its presence on zooplankton hosts can affect host swimming behavior and, in heavy infestations, may impose a metabolic cost on the carrier. Colacium simplex inhabits lentic and slow-moving lotic freshwater systems globally, wherever appropriate zooplankton hosts occur. It plays a role in microbial community structure and organic matter dynamics in planktonic food webs. Taxonomic understanding of the genus continues to evolve with molecular phylogenetic studies.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
