Fluvidona Anodonta
''Fluvidona anodonta'' or more commonly known as the North Pine River freshwater snail is a species of minute freshwater snail that is endemic to Australia. Originally discovered in 1892 by Hedley & Musson, the snail is highly elusive and only has been sighted four times since its discovery. The snail is 2 mm long and 1 mm wide with the shell colouring being of a yellow-whiteish shade. ''Fluvidona anodonta'' resides within the Moreton Bay Region, specifically in four river systems within the D'Aguilar National Park, Queensland. The four river systems are the South Pine River headwaters, the North Pine River headwaters, Kobble Creek and Low Branch Creek. The snail is found under deeply submerged rocks within permanent freshwater systems. ''Fluvidona anodonta''’s habitat has multiple human imposed threats including habitat fragmentation, road water runoff unbalancing the natural ecosystem and horses disturbing the underwater ecosystem. In 2011 the International Union for Cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fluvidona Orphana
''Fluvidona orphana'' is a species of minute freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Hydrobiidae. Etymology The specific epithet ''orphana'' is derived from the Greek word ''orphanos'', meaning orphan, and refers to the probable extinction of any related species in the surrounding areas because of land clearing for urban development. Distribution and habitat This species is endemic to northern New South Wales, Australia. It is known only from Sea Acres Reserve, Port Macquarie, where it lives in a small stream in a patch of remnant coastal rainforest Rainforests are characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the absence of wildfire. Rainforest can be classified as tropical rainforest or temperate rainfores .... It differs from all other ''Fluvidona'' species in its habit, being found crawling on palm fronds, etc., in the creek and ...

Fluvidona Griffithsi
''Fluvidona griffithsi'' is a species of minute freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Hydrobiidae. This species is endemic to southern Queensland, Australia. Etymology ''F. griffithsi'' is named after Owen Lee Griffiths, who found the first specimens of this species. Description This species is, with the possible exception of a single specimen found north of Kyogle, as of yet unidentified and most probably belonging to a distinct species, unique amongst known Australian hydrobiids in being able to aestivate and withstand drying. The type series were found in dry soil in a small, dry creek bed on the landward side of a small hill, in a small coastal rainforest remnant in Burleigh Head National Park Burleigh Head is a small national park at Burleigh Heads in the City of Gold Coast in South East Queensland, Australia.

Endemism
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John William Brazier
John William Brazier (23 September 1842 – 20 August 1930) was a malacologist from Australia. Early life He was born to Captain John Brazier and his wife Mary nee McMillan. His father commanded whaling vessels out of Sydney, Australia, and during his voyages he collected sea shells as a hobby. His son, John junior, accompanied him to sea on at least one of those voyages and he too became interested in collecting sea shells. Professional life In 1865 John Brazier junior accompanied Julius Brenchley on the voyage of H.M.S. Curacoa to Norfolk Island, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the New Hebrides, the Solomon Islands and New Caledonia. After several other shell collecting expeditions in Australasia he joined William John Macleay 's 1875 expedition in the Chevert to New Guinea via the Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over over an area of approximately .
