Pandoravirus sediments. Pandoraviruses, like other marine viruses, prey on plankton, which are organisms that live in the water column and form the basis of the food chain for other marine species. More study and research needs to be done in order to confirm the prevalence of Pandoraviruses in different environments. Currently, not much is known about their role in marine ecosystems. Pandoraviruses do have approximately 93% of their genes that are unidentifiable with any other microbes, suggesting they may belong to an as of yet undescribed "fourth domain" aside from Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. Viruses as a whole are not popularly
Hawaiian freshwater goby Hawaiian freshwater goby The Hawaiian freshwater goby, "Lentipes concolor" ("‘o‘opu ‘alamo‘o "or "‘o‘opu hi‘u koleis"), is a species of goby endemic to Hawaii, where it occurs in mountain streams.
