Cardiodectes
''Cardiodectes'' is a genus of copepods in the family Pennellidae Pennellidae is a family of parasitic copepods. When anchored on a host, they have a portion of the body on the outside of the host, whereas the remaining anterior part of the parasite is hidden inside tissues of the host.

Charles Branch Wilson
Charles Branch Wilson (October 20, 1861 – August 18, 1941) was an American scientist, a marine biologist. He is known for his extensive work on copepods, minute crustaceans. Early life and education Charles Branch Wilson was born in Exeter, Maine on October 20, 1861. He received his bachelor's and master's degree from Colby College of Waterville, Maine. He completed his doctorate from the Johns Hopkins University in 1910.Smithsonian Institution ArchivesRecord Unit 7235, Wilson, Charles Branch, 1861-1941, Charles Branch Wilson Papers/ref> Career While completing his master's degree, Wilson worked in Colby as a tutor in botany. In 1891, he was appointed a professor of science at the Gorham Normal School of Gorham, Maine (now the University of Southern Maine). In 1896, he became a professor of natural science at the Westfield Teachers College of Westfield, Massachusetts (now the Westfield State University). A year later he became a professor of biology and the head of the Scienc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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.
