Abudefduf Conformis
''Abudefduf'' also known as the sergeant-majors is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae. The name is from Arabic ''abu'', "the one with"; and ''def'', "side", and the intensive plural ending ''-duf''. The name thus means "the one with prominent sides". General biology The approximately 20 species of ''Abudefduf'' may be divided into planktivores and benthivores and three broadly pantropical clades. Two of the ''Abudefduf'' clades are primarily benthivorous and a third clade is composed of planktivores and is the most species-rich. Most diversification has occurred in the last 10 million years within this genus across all clades.Youtube Creatures section, Damselfish - Author:Sublanding Fish020-06-19/ref> Species The following 21 species are recognized in the genus ''Abudefduf'': * '' Abudefduf abdominalis'' ( Quoy & Gaimard, 1825) (Green damselfish) * '' Abudefduf bengalensis'' (Bloch, 1787) (Bengal sergeant) * '' Abudefduf caudobimaculatus'' Okada & Ikeda, 1939Wibowo, ...

Juvenile Blackspot sergeant are common in tidepools where they feed on algae, small animals as well as plankton. Once they mature and become bigger, they move towards deeper areas with more surge. Blackspot sergeants are very territorial and often aggressive, in tidepools dominating other fish. During the day they are found near rocky areas and at night they are under some type of shelter.

(), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Francis Day
Francis Talbot Day (2 March 1829 – 10 July 1889) was an army surgeon and naturalist in the Madras Presidency who later became the Inspector-General of Fisheries in India and Burma. A pioneer ichthyologist, he described more than three hundred fishes in the two-volume work on ''The Fishes of India''. He also wrote the fish volumes of the Fauna of British India series. He was also responsible for the introduction of trout into the Nilgiri hills, for which he received a medal from the French Societe d'Acclimatation. Many of his fish specimens are distributed across museums with only a small fraction deposited in the British Museum (Natural History Museum, London), an anomaly caused by a prolonged conflict with Albert Günther, the keeper of zoology there. Biography Day was born in Maresfield, East Sussex, the third son of William and Ann Elliott née Le Blanc. The family estate included two thousand acres with forty tenant farmers during his childhood. William Day was inter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abudefduf Nigrimargo
''Abudefduf nigrimargo'', known as the black margined-scale sergeant, is a species of damselfish in the family Pomacentridae. It is native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean, where it is known only from Taiwan. The species is known to occur above shallow rocky reefs, where it forms feeding aggregations. The habitat in which ''Abudefduf nigrimargo'' can be found is also known to be inhabited by the related species '' Abudefduf vaigiensis'' and ''Abudefduf caudobimaculatus'' (previously recognized as synonymous with ''A. vaigiensis''). The species reaches 12 cm (4.7 inches) in standard length.

Georges Cuvier
Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, Baron Cuvier (; 23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier, was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phylum, phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a fact—at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation. In his ''Essay on the Theory of the Earth'' (1813) Cuvier proposed that now-extinct species had been wiped out by periodic catastrophi ...
