Palaemonoidea
Palaemonoidea is a large superfamily of shrimp, containing nearly 1,000 species. The position of the family Typhlocarididae is unclear, although the monophyly of a group containing the remaining seven families is well supported. *Anchistioididae Borradaile, 1915 * Desmocarididae Borradaile, 1915 *Euryrhynchidae Holthuis, 1950 *Gnathophyllidae Dana, 1852 *Hymenoceridae Ortmann, 1890 *Kakaducarididae Bruce, 1993 *Palaemonidae Rafinesque, 1815 *Typhlocarididae Annandale & Kemp, 1913 Image:Gnathophyllum americanum Réunion.JPG, ''Gnathophyllum americanum'', a Palaemonidae Image:Harlequin Shrimp 1.jpg, ''Hymenocera picta'', the only Hymenoceridae Image:Emperor Shrimp - Periclimenes imperator.jpg, ''Periclimenes imperator'', a Palaemonidae Image:Typhlocaris ayyaloni cropped.jpg, ''Typhlocaris ayyaloni'', a Typhlocarididae ''Typhlocaris'' is a genus of blind cave-dwelling shrimp, placed in its own family, Typhlocarididae.

Caridea
The Caridea, commonly known as caridean shrimp or true shrimp, are an infraorder of shrimp within the order Decapoda. This infraorder contains all species of true shrimp. They are found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water. Many other animals with similar names – such as the mud shrimp of Axiidea and the boxer shrimp of Stenopodidea – are not true shrimp, but many have evolved features similar to true shrimp. Biology Carideans are found in every kind of aquatic habitat, with the majority of species being marine. Around a quarter of the described species are found in fresh water, however, including almost all the members of the species-rich family Atyidae and the Palaemonidae subfamily Palaemoninae. They include several commercially important species, such as ''Macrobrachium rosenbergii'', and are found on every continent except Antarctica. The marine species are found at depths to , and from the tropics to the polar regions. In addition to the great variety ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kakaducarididae
Palaemonidae is a family of shrimp in the order Decapoda. Many species are carnivores that eat small invertebrates, and can be found in any aquatic habitat except the deep sea. One significant genus is ''Macrobrachium'', which contains commercially fished species. Others inhabit coral reefs, where they associate with certain invertebrates, such as sponges, cnidarians, mollusks, and echinoderms, as cleaner shrimps, parasites, or commensals. They generally feed on detritus, though some are carnivores and hunt tiny animals. The family contains more than 1200 species in 160 genera. The genera were formerly split into two subfamilies, but in 2015, molecular and morphological research determined that the subfamily groupings were invalid. At the same time, the members of the families Gnathophyllidae and Hymenoceridae were incorporated into the Palaemonidae.

Typhlocaris Ayyaloni
''Typhlocaris ayyaloni'' is a species of troglobitic shrimp in the family Typhlocarididae. Endemic fauna of Israel Description This species grows to 4 to 5 cm in length and is blind. Distribution ''Typhlocaris ayyaloni'' species was discovered in 2008 in the Ayalon Cave in Israel, 100 meters below ground, with no natural access to the surface. It was found living in a small pool of sulphide-rich, brackish water. It is one of eight new species recently discovered in the area, the others being '' Tethysbaena ophelicola'', '' Metacyclops longimaxillis'', '' Metacyclops subdolus'', '' Akrav israchanani'' (a land species, only found dead and also in other parts of the cave), '' Ayyalonia dimentmani'' (land species), '' Lepidospora ayyalonica'' (land species), and a still-unnamed species in the genus ''Collembola''. Threats This species is endangered as it is known only in the Yarkon-Taninim Aquifer The Yarkon-Taninim Aquifer, also known as the Western Mountain Aquifer of Isr ...

Hymenocera Picta
''Hymenocera picta'', commonly known as the harlequin shrimp, is a species of saltwater shrimp found at coral reefs in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is usually considered the only species in the genus ''Hymenocera'', but some split it into two species: ''H. picta'' from the central and east Pacific, where the spots are deep pinkish-purple with a yellow edge, and ''H. elegans'' from the Indian Ocean and west Pacific, where the spots are more brownish and have a blue edge.Debelius, H. (2001). ''Crustacea: Guide to the World.'' Pp. 198-199. They reach about in length, live in pairs, and feed exclusively on starfish, including crown-of-thorns starfish. They do seem to prefer smaller, more sedentary starfish, but as these generally are not sufficiently numerous for their needs, they commonly attack crown-of-thorns starfish, both reducing its consumption of coral while under attack, and killing it within a few days.Glynn, P.W., Interactions between Acanthaster and H ...
