Bathynomus
A giant isopod is any of the almost 20 species of large isopods, crustaceans distantly related to shrimp and crabs, which are decapods, in the genus ''Bathynomus''. They are abundant in the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.Lowry, J. K. and Dempsey, K. (2006). ''The giant deep-sea scavenger genus Bathynomus (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cirolanidae) in the Indo-West Pacific.'' In: Richer de Forges, B. and Justone, J.-L. (eds.), Résultats des Compagnes Musortom, vol. 24. Mémoires du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturalle, Tome 193: 163–192. ''Bathynomus giganteus'', the species upon which the generitype is based, is often considered the largest isopod in the world, though other comparably poorly known species of ''Bathynomus'' may reach a similar size (e.g., ''B. kensleyi''). The giant isopods are noted for their resemblance to the much smaller common woodlouse (pill bug), to which they are related. French zoologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards was the first to ...

Eurydice Pulchra
''Eurydice pulchra'', the speckled sea louse, is a species of isopod crustacean found in the northeast Atlantic Ocean. The generic name is for the nymph Eurydice of Greek mythology; the specific name means beautiful in Latin. The range of the species extends from Norway to the Atlantic coast of Morocco, but not into the Mediterranean Sea. It lives in the intertidal zone on sandy shores. It has large eyes and long antennae, is grey to brown in colour, and has black spots (each one a chromatophore Chromatophores are cells that produce color, of which many types are Biological pigment, pigment-containing cells, or groups of cells, found in a wide range of animals including amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans and cephalopods.

Cirolana
''Cirolana'' is a genus of isopod crustaceans. Names Some of the species are named for people, as ''C. brucei'' for zoologist Niel L. Bruce, who has named many isopods; ''C. mercuryi'' for musician Freddie Mercury; ''C. cranchii'' for explorer John Cranch, a friend and employee of William Elford Leach who first described the genus in 1818. The generic name Cirolana is an anagram of Carolina, named for an unknown woman called Caroline. Leach named a number of isopod genera with anagrams of Caroline or Carolina. In the French work in which Leach proposed these names he gave each new genus a French name as well as a Latin zoological name. Sometimes - as with ''Cirolana'' - it was the French name that was the anagram of Caroline; in this case 'Cirolane'. Species ''Cirolana'' includes the following species: Subgenus ''Cirolana'' (''Anopsilana'') Leach, 1818 *'' Cirolana acanthura'' (Notenboom, 1981) *'' Cirolana aleci'' (Brusca, Wetzer & France, 1995) *'' Cirolana barnardi'' (Br ...

Aatolana
''Aatolana'' is a genus of crustaceans in the family Cirolanidae, first described by Niel L. Bruce in 1993.

It is found in waters off the coasts of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.

Isopod
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans that includes woodlice and their relatives. Isopods live in the sea, in fresh water, or on land. All have rigid, segmented exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen that are used in respiration. Females brood their young in a pouch under their thorax. Isopods have various feeding methods: some eat dead or decaying plant and animal matter, others are grazers, or filter feeders, a few are predators, and some are internal or external parasites, mostly of fish. Aquatic species mostly live on the seabed or bottom of freshwater bodies of water, but some taxa can swim for a short distance. Terrestrial forms move around by crawling and tend to be found in cool, moist places. Some species are able to roll themselves into a ball as a defense mechanism or to conserve moisture. There are over 10,000 identified species of isopod worldwide, with around 4,5 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
