Cyproniscidae

	Cyproniscidae The Cyproniscidae are a family (biology), family of marine Isopoda, isopod crustaceans in the suborder Cymothoida. The original description was made by Bonnier in 1900. Members of this family are Parasitism, parasitic on other isopods. The family contains these Genus, genera and species: ''Cyproniscus'' Kossmann, 1884 ''Cyproniscus crossophori'' Stebbing, 1901 ''Cyproniscus cypridinae'' (G.O. Sars, 1883) ''Cyproniscus decemspinosus'' Menzies & George, 1972 ''Cyproniscus octospinosus'' Menzies & George, 1972 ''Cyproniscus peruvicus'' Menzies & George, 1972 ''Onisocryptus'' Schultz, 1977 ''Onisocryptus kurilensis'' Rybakov, 1998 ''Onisocryptus ovalis'' (Shiino, 1942) ''Onisocryptus sagittus'' Schultz, 1977 References Cymothoida Crustacean families {{Isopod-stub ...

picture info	Isopoda 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 4,50 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Cymothoida Cymothoida is the name of a suborder of isopod crustaceans with a mostly carnivorous or parasitic lifestyle. It contains more than 2,700 described species in four superfamilies. Members of the suborder are characterised by their specialised mouthparts which include a mandible with a tooth-like process which is adapted for cutting or slicing. Classification Cymothoida contains these superfamilies and families: Superfamily Anthuroidea Leach, 1814 * Antheluridae Poore & Lew Ton, 1988 Anthuridae Leach, 1814 Expanathuridae Poore, 2001 Hyssuridae Wägele, 1981 Leptanthuridae Poore, 2001 ** Paranthuridae Menzies & Glynn, 1968 Superfamily Cymothooidea Leach, 1814 Aegidae White, 1850 Anuropidae Stebbing, 1893 * Barybrotidae Hansen, 1890 Cirolanidae Dana, 1852 Corallanidae Hansen, 1890 Cymothoidae Leach, 1818 Gnathiidae Leach, 1814 Protognathiidae Wägele & Brandt, 1988 Tridentellidae Bruce, 1984 Superfamily Cryptoniscoidea Kossmann, 1880 Asconisc ...

	Alfred Mathieu Giard Alfred Mathieu Giard (8 August 1846 – 8 August 1908) was a French zoologist born in Valenciennes. Biography In 1867 he began his studies of natural sciences at the École Normale Supérieure, followed by work as ''préparateur de zoologie'' at the laboratory of Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers (1821–1901) in Paris. In 1872 he defended his doctoral thesis with a study on compound ascidians titled "''Recherches sur les ascidies composées ou synascidies''". From 1873 to 1882, he was ''professeur suppléant'' of natural history at the faculty of sciences in Lille, and in the meantime, was also affiliated with the Institut industriel du Nord. In 1874 he founded a biological station at Wimereux in order to familiarize his students to marine and terrestrial organisms. At Lille, he is credited for putting together an excellent school of zoology. In 1887 he became a lecturer at the École Normale Supérieure, and from 1888 until his death, he was a professor at the faculty of sciences in P ...

	Family (biology) Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...
