Colocolo

<em>Leopardus colocolo</em>, commonly known as the Colocolo, is a small wild cat species belonging to the genus <em>Leopardus</em> within the family Felidae. This species is assessed as Near Threatened by major conservation bodies, indicating that while it is not currently classified as threatened, its populations face pressures that could lead to a more serious conservation status if conditions worsen. The Colocolo inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments across South America, where it is associated with grasslands, shrublands, and wetland margins. It is one of the smallest wild cats native to the continent. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. Dietary information specific to this species has not been recorded in current records, though wild cats of similar size and habitat affiliation typically prey on small mammals, birds, and other small vertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation concerns for the Colocolo include habitat loss, persecution by farmers, and the illegal wildlife trade. Continued monitoring and habitat protection are considered essential for maintaining viable populations.

Planktothrix prolifica是Phormidiaceae科的丝状蓝藻，在淡水湖水柱中形成笔直、无分支的毛状体。部分Planktothrix种与蓝藻毒素的产生有关，使其成为生态学和公共卫生领域的重要关注对象。其保育状况尚未经过评估。
