Johann Baptist Von Spix
Johann Baptist Ritter von Spix (9 February 1781 – 13 March 1826) was a German natural history, biologist. From his expedition to Brazil, he brought to Germany a large variety of specimens of plants, insects, mammals, birds, amphibians and fish. They constitute an important basis for today's National Zoological Collection in Munich. Numerous examples of his ethnographic collections, such as dance masks and the like, are now part of the collection of the Museum Five Continents, Museum of Ethnography in Munich. Biography Spix was born in Höchstadt, in present-day Middle Franconia, as the seventh of eleven children. His childhood home is the site of the Spix Museum, open to the public since 2004. He studied philosophy in Bamberg and graduated with a doctoral degree. Later he studied theology in Würzburg. After attending lectures of the young professor Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, F. W. J. Schelling, Spix became interested in nature. He quit his theology studi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mussel
Mussel () is the common name used for members of several families of bivalve molluscs, from saltwater and Freshwater bivalve, freshwater habitats. These groups have in common a shell whose outline is elongated and asymmetrical compared with other edible clams, which are often more or less rounded or oval. The word "mussel" is frequently used to mean the bivalves of the marine family Mytilidae, most of which live on exposed shores in the intertidal zone, attached by means of their strong Byssus, byssal threads ("beard") to a firm substrate. A few species (in the genus ''Bathymodiolus'') have colonised hydrothermal vents associated with deep ocean ridges. In most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. The external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous. The common name "mussel" is also used for many freshwater bivalves, including the freshwater pearl mussels. F ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bivalve
Bivalvia (), in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. As a group, bivalves have no head and they lack some usual molluscan organs, like the radula and the odontophore. They include the clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. The majority are filter feeders. The gills have evolved into ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Most bivalves bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as the scallops and file shells, can swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or stone and live inside these substances. The shell of a bivalve is composed of calc ...

Hyriidae
Hyriidae is a taxonomic family of pearly freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve molluscs in the order Unionida. This family is native to South America, Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. Like all members of that order, they go through a larval stage that is parasitic on fish (see glochidium). The classification recognized by Banarescu (1995) uses three subfamilies. This family contains eighteen genera. Subfamilies and genera Hyriinae Genera within the subfamily Hyriinae, from South America, include: * '' Paxyodon'' * '' Castalina'' * '' Chevronaias'' ; Tribe Castaliini * ''Castalia'' * '' Castaliella'' * '' Callonaia'' ; Tribe Hyriini * '' Prisodon'' * '' Triplodon'' ; Tribe Rhipidodontini * ''Diplodon'' Cucumerunioninae Genera within the subfamily Cucumerunioninae, from Australasia, include: * '' Echyridella'' * ''Cucumerunio'' * ''Hyridella'' * '' Virgus'' Velesunioninae Genera within the subfamily Velesunioninae, from Australasia, include: * '' Alathyria'' **''Alathyr ...

Cucumerunio Websteri
''Cucumerunio websteri'' is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusc in the family Hyriidae. Subspecies * ''Cucumerunio websteri websteri'' (Simpson, 1902) * '' Cucumerunio websteri delli'' McMichael & Hiscock, 1958 Description The specific name ''websteri'' is in honor of Reverend William Henry Webster (died 1931) of Wauiku, New Zealand, who have sent specimens to the National Museum of Natural History. ''Cucumerunio websteri'' then was described under the name ''Diplodon websteri'' by American malacologist Charles Torrey Simpson in 1902. Simpson's original text (the type description) reads as follows: The length of the shell is 62–81 mm. The height of the shell is 32–39 mm. The width of the shell is 14–20 mm. Powell A. W.
