Dugesia Sicula
''Dugesia sicula'' is a species of dugesiid triclad that lives in freshwater bodies of the Mediterranean Basin, where it is widely distributed. It has been reported from Sicily, Elba and Mallorca, Eivissa, Sardinia,Stocchino et al., 2005 G.A. Stocchino, G. Corso, R. Manconi, S. Casu and M.

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] |
Dugesia Japonica
''Dugesia japonica'' is a species of freshwater planarian that inhabits freshwater bodies of East Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and northeastern Siberia. However, molecular studies suggest that ''Dugesia japonica'' is polyphyletic A polyphyletic group is an assemblage of organisms or other evolving elements that is of mixed evolutionary origin. The term is often applied to groups that share similar features known as homoplasies, which are explained as a result of converg ... and different populations across its area of occurrence constitute distinct species. Phylogeny ''D. japonica'' position in relation with other ''Dugesia'' species after the work of Lázaro ''et al.'', 2009: Space Experimentation A study was published in 2017 in which a ''Dugesia Japonica'' trunk fragment had been sent into space, and grew with two heads, one on either end of the trunk. However, the influence of space conditions on this phenomenon is debated. References {{Taxonbar, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dugesia Benazzii
''Dugesia'' (pronounced, /duˈd͡ʒiʒ(i)ə/) is a genus of dugesiid triclads that contains some common representatives of the class Turbellaria. These common flatworms are found in freshwater habitats of Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. ''Dugesia'' is best known to non-specialists because of its regeneration capacities. ''Dugesia'' is the type genus of the family Dugesiidae. Description ''Dugesia'' species have an elongated body with a slightly triangle-shaped head. Usually they have grey, brown or black colors on the dorsal body surface, the ventral surface uses to be paler. These animals have a couple of eyes constituted by a multicellular pigmented cup with many retinal cells to detect the amount of light in the nearby environment. Sometimes they present supernumerary eyes. At the anterior part of the body, behind the eyes level, they have two of structures called auricles that give the triangle look to the 'head' and that allow them to detect the intensity of water curren ...

Dugesia Subtentaculata
''Dugesia subtentaculata'' is a species of planarian that inhabits the freshwater of Southern France, several localities on the Iberian Peninsula (including Catalonia), Mallorca, Morocco and Algeria. In 1986 De Vries designated a neotype for ''D. subtentaculata'' after the original type material was lost. She also synonymized the species ''D. iberica'', described from Mallorca and Iberian Peninsula, with ''D. subtentaculta''. Both the neotype and the holotype are from the surroundings of Montpellier, from a locality Locality may refer to: * Locality (association), an association of community regeneration organizations in England * Locality (linguistics) * Locality (settlement) * Suburbs and localities (Australia), in which a locality is a geographic subdivis ... where asexual specimens of ''D. subtentaculata'' and sexual individuals of '' D. gonocephala'' are found living together.
