After completing a second MSc equivalent in zoology, she undertook doctoral studies at Auckla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Axinellidae
Axinellidae is a family of sponges in the order Axinellida. This family includes some photo-synthetic sponges that occur throughout the world's coral reefs. They are amongst the more common sponges seen in the aquarium trade but are usually not successful species in captivity and not ones that thrive in the small household tank environment. They are common throughout the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean coral reefs. Species which derive their nutrition from sunlight must stay fairly close to the surface in order for their zooxanthellae to synthesize light into the sugars these sponges use to survive. Genera There are ten genera: * ''Axinella'' Schmidt, 1862 * ''Cymbastela'' Hooper & Bergquist, 1992 * ''Dragmacidon'' Hallmann, 1917 * ''Dragmaxia'' Hallmann, 1916 * ''Ophiraphidites'' Carter, 1876 * ''Pararhaphoxya'' Burton, 1934 * ''Phycopsis (sponge), Phycopsis'' Carter, 1883 * ''Pipestela'' Alvarez, Hooper & van Soest, 2008 * ''Ptilocaulis'' Carter, 1883 * ''Reniochalina'' Lend ...

John Hooper (marine Biologist)
John N.A. Hooper is an Australian marine biologist and writer on science. He is the current Head of Biodiversity & Geosciences Programs at the Queensland Museum. His research has included studying the possible medical benefits of marine sponges, including beta blockers for heart disease, and for compounds to combat illnesses like gastro-intestinal disease and cancer. In 2007 he was a member of the Discussion Panel On Marine Genetic Resources for the eighth annual United Nations Informal Consultative Process for Oceans and the Law of the Sea (UNICPOLOS). Notable works Together with Rob van Soest, Hooper co-edited the influential book ''Systema Porifera: A Guide to the Classification of Sponges''. In addition, the Web of Science lists over 90 articles in peer-reviewed journals that have been cited over 1650 times, with an h-index The ''h''-index is an author-level metric that measures both the productivity and citation impact of the publications, initially used for an in ...

Taxa Named By Patricia Bergquist
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular Taxonomic rank, ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's Linnaean taxonomy, system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard de Jussieu, Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of bio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
