Brycinus
''Brycinus'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Alestiidae. Like other "African characids", they were formerly included in the Characidae but are actually somewhat more distantly related Characiformes. Like some other Alestiidae, they are called robber tetras due to their bold and rather carnivorous habits. They are not infrequently kept as aquarium fishes and in their requirements resemble the South American tetras of the Characidae. Unlike these, ''Brycinus'' are not well-suited to accompany delicate fishes however and are better kept with dwarf cichlids and similar small but robust companions. Species There are currently 36 recognized species in this genus: * '' Brycinus abeli'' ( Fowler, 1936) * '' Brycinus affinis'' ( Günther, 1894) (Red-fin robber) * '' Brycinus bartoni'' (Nichols & La Monte, 1953) * '' Brycinus batesii'' ( Boulenger, 1903) * '' Brycinus bimaculatus'' ( Boulenger, 1899) * '' Brycinus brevis'' ( Boulenger, 1903) * '' Brycinus carmesinus'' (Nich ...

Ludlow Griscom
Ludlow Griscom (June 17, 1890 – May 28, 1959) was an American ornithologist known as a pioneer in field ornithology. His emphasis on the identification of free-flying birds by field marks became widely adopted by professionals and amateurs. Many called him "Dean of the Birdwatchers." Early life and family Griscom was born in New York City, the son of Clement Acton Griscom Jr. and Genevieve Sprigg Ludlow. Ludlow's grandfather Clement Acton Griscom Sr. was a prominent merchant and shipping executive. His maternal grandfather, William Ludlow, distinguished himself through military service. Griscom's family traces its ancestry back to Thomas Lloyd, a 17th-century physician in Pennsylvania. The oldest of three children, Ludlow Griscom had a sister, Joyce, who died in childhood, and a brother, Acton. As a boy, Ludlow's interest in birds showed itself as early as 1898. In 1907, he found fellow nature enthusiasts when he joined the Linnaean Society of New York. Griscom recei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
