	Henrik Nikolai Krøyer Henrik Nikolai Krøyer (22 March 1799 – 14 November 1870) was a Denmark, Danish zoologist. Born in Copenhagen, he was a brother of the composer Hans Ernst Krøyer. He started studying medicine at the University of Copenhagen in 1817, which he later changed to history and philology. While a student, he was a supporter of the Philhellenism, Philhellenic movement, and he participated as a volunteer in the Greek War of Independence along with several fellow students. Upon his return to Denmark, Krøyer gained an interest in zoology. In 1827, he took the position as assistant teacher in Stavanger, where he met, and later married, Bertha Cecilie Gjesdal. Bertha's sister, Ellen Cecilie Gjesdal, was deemed unfit to bring up her child, so Henrik and Bertha adopted the boy, who took on the name Peder Severin Krøyer, and later became a well-known painter. Krøyer returned to Copenhagen in 1830 where he was employed as a teacher in natural history at the Military Academy. As the course l ...

picture info	Type Species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

	Monotypic In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda. ...

picture info	Copepod Copepods (; meaning "oar-feet") are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat (ecology), habitat. Some species are planktonic (inhabiting sea waters), some are benthos, benthic (living on the ocean floor), a number of species have parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds, and puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses (phytotelmata) of plants such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Copepods are sometimes used as Ecological indicator, biodiversity indicators. As with other crustaceans, copepods have a larval form. For copepods, the egg hatches into a Crustacean larvae#Nauplius, nauplius form, with a head and a tail but no true thorax or abdomen. The larva molts several times until it resembles the adult an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Lernaeopodidae Lernaeopodidae is a family of parasitic copepods. The females are typically large and fleshy, and attach to the host permanently using a plug made of chitin Chitin ( C8 H13 O5 N)n ( ) is a long-chain polymer of ''N''-acetylglucosamine, an amide derivative of glucose. Chitin is probably the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature (behind only cellulose); an estimated 1 billion tons of chit ... called the ''bulla''. The males cling on to the females using their antennae. They parasitize both marine and freshwater fish. Some lernaeopodids, including '' Clavella'' and '' Salmincola'', can have negative impacts on fish in aquaculture. Genera The family contains the following genera: * '' Acespadia'' Leigh-Sharpe, 1933 * '' Achtheres'' Nordmann, 1832 * '' Alella'' Leigh-Sharpe, 1925 * '' Anaclavella'' Heegaard, 1940 * '' Basanistes'' Nordmann, 1832 * '' Brachiella'' Cuvier, 1830 * '' Brianella'' Wilson C.B., 1915 * '' Brianellinae'' Wilson C.B., 1915 * '' Cauloxenus'' ...

	Siphonostomatoida Siphonostomatoida is an order of copepods, containing around 75% of all the copepods that parasitise fishes. Their success has been linked to their possession of siphon-like mandibles and of a "frontal filament" to aid attachment to their hosts. Most are marine, but a few live in fresh water. There are 40 recognised families: * Archidactylinidae Izawa, 1996 Artotrogidae Brady, 1880 Asterocheridae Giesbrecht, 1899 Brychiopontiidae Humes, 1974 Caligidae Burmeister, 1835 * Calverocheridae Stock, 1968 Cancerillidae Giesbrecht, 1897 Codobidae Boxshall & Ohtsuka, 2001 Coralliomyzontidae Humes & Stock, 1991 Dichelesthiidae Milne-Edwards, 1840 Dichelinidae Boxshall & Ohtsuka, 2001 Dinopontiidae Murnane, 1967 Dirivultidae Humes & Dojiri, 1980 Dissonidae Yamaguti, 1963 Ecbathyriontidae Humes, 1987 Entomolepididae Brady, 1899 Eudactylinidae C.
