International Bryozoology Association
The International Bryozoology Association (IBA) is a professional association with international membership specialising in research of the phylum Bryozoa. History The International Bryozoology Association was founded in May 1965 in Stockholm, Sweden. The first conference was held in August 1968 in Milan, Italy. Since then the IBA's conferences have been held every three years in a different city: * 1st Conference: 1968, Milan, Italy (Proceedings published 1968) * 2nd Conference: 1971, Durham, UK (Proceedings published 1973) * 3rd Conference: 1974, Lyon, France (Proceedings published 1975) * 4th Conference: 1977, Woods Hole, MA, USA (Proceedings published 1979) * 5th Conference: 1980, Durham, UK (Proceedings published 1981) * 6th Conference: 1983, Vienna, Austria (Proceedings published 1985) * 7th Conference: 1986, Bellingham, Washington, USA (Proceedings published 1987) * 8th Conference: 1989, Paris, France (Proceedings published 1991) * 9th Conference: 1992, Swansea, UK (Proce ...

Eliza Catherine Jelly
Eliza Catherine Jelly (28 September 1829 - 3 November 1914) was an English bryozoologist. She was one of the first women to work and publish in the field of bryozoology. Her 1889 text ''The Synonymic Catalogue of the Recent Marine Bryozoa'' is still used as a reference material. Early life Eliza Catherine Jelly was born in Bath, Somerset, the daughter of Harry Jelly, an Anglican clergyman, and Eliza Jelly (née Cave), who came from a family of builders in Bath. Her father Harry, orphaned as an infant, was a naturalist and had long been interested in paleontology, and frequently went searching for fossils, plants, and insects. He is recorded as having donated fossils from Wiltshire to the Bath Literary and Philosophical Institute in 1826. He later took a fossil-collecting trip to Jamaica and donated these specimens to the Geological Society of London in September 1839. The Jelly family lived in Bath and Bristol until Eliza was about 13 years old. The family later moved to Devon w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bryozoa
Bryozoa (also known as the Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals) are a phylum of simple, aquatic invertebrate animals, nearly all living in sedentary colonies. Typically about long, they have a special feeding structure called a lophophore, a "crown" of tentacles used for filter feeding. Most marine bryozoans live in tropical waters, but a few are found in oceanic trenches and polar waters. The bryozoans are classified as the marine bryozoans (Stenolaemata), freshwater bryozoans (Phylactolaemata), and mostly-marine bryozoans (Gymnolaemata), a few members of which prefer brackish water. 5,869living species are known. At least two genera are solitary (''Aethozooides'' and ''Monobryozoon''); the rest are colonial. The terms Polyzoa and Bryozoa were introduced in 1830 and 1831, respectively. Soon after it was named, another group of animals was discovered whose filtering mechanism looked similar, so it was included in Bryozoa until 1869, when the two groups were no ...

Zoology
Zoology ()The pronunciation of zoology as is usually regarded as nonstandard, though it is not uncommon. is the branch of biology that studies the Animal, animal kingdom, including the anatomy, structure, embryology, evolution, Biological classification, classification, Ethology, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinction, extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. The term is derived from Ancient Greek , ('animal'), and , ('knowledge', 'study'). Although humans have always been interested in the natural history of the animals they saw around them, and made use of this knowledge to domesticate certain species, the formal study of zoology can be said to have originated with Aristotle. He viewed animals as living organisms, studied their structure and development, and considered their adaptations to their surroundings and the function of their parts. The Greek physician Galen studied human anatomy and was one of the greatest surgeons of the a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Annals Of Bryozoology
Annals ( la, annāles, from , "year") are a concise historical record in which events are arranged chronologically, year by year, although the term is also used loosely for any historical record. Scope The nature of the distinction between annals and history is a subject based on divisions established by the ancient Romans. Verrius Flaccus is quoted by Aulus Gellius as stating that the etymology of ''history'' (from Greek , , equated with Latin , "to inquire in person") properly restricts it to primary sources such as Thucydides's which have come from the author's own observations, while annals record the events of earlier times arranged according to years. White distinguishes annals from chronicles, which organize their events by topics such as the reigns of kings, and from histories, which aim to present and conclude a narrative implying the moral importance of the events recorded. Generally speaking, annalists record events drily, leaving the entries unexplained and equally we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Samantha L
Samantha (or the alternatively Samanta) is primarily used as a feminine given name. It was recorded in England in 1633 in Newton Regis, Warwickshire. It was also recorded in the 18th century in New England, but its etymology is uncertain. Speculation (without evidence) has suggested an origin from the masculine given name Samuel and anthos, the Greek word for "flower".''World Almanac'', 2009 edition pp. 697–698, Dr. Cleveland Kent Evans, Bellevue University One theory is that it was a feminine form of Samuel to which the already existing feminine name Anthea was added. "Samantha" remained a rare name until the 1873 publication of the first novel in a series by Marietta Holley, featuring the adventures of a lady named "Samantha", wife of Josiah Allen. The series led to the rise in the name's popularity, ranking among the top 1,000 names for girls in the United States from 1880, the earliest year for which records are available, to 1902. The name was out of fashion in the Unite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
