Ibacus Alticrenatus
''Ibacus alticrenatus'' is a species of slipper lobster that lives in the waters of Australia and New Zealand. Description ''Ibacus alticrenatus'' is one of the smaller species of ''Ibacus''. Males reach a maximum carapace length of , with females slightly larger, at up to . The maximum total length is . There are typically 8, but occasionally 7 or 9, teeth along either edge of the carapace, behind the cervical incision. Distribution Around Australia, ''I. alticrenatus'' is found from the North West Cape in Western Australia, around the country's south coast, to 20° south in northern Queensland. Although '' I. brucei'' has also been recorded from the Kermadec Islands and the West Norfolk Ridge, ''I. alticrenatus'' is the only slipper lobster to occur around the main islands of New Zealand. Life cycle Females reach sexual maturity at a median carapace length of . They produce between 1700 and 14,800 eggs, with diameters of . The eggs are incubated on the female's ...

Ibacus Ciliatus
''Ibacus ciliatus'' is a species of slipper lobster from the north-west Pacific Ocean. Description and life cycle ''Ibacus ciliatus'' is a broad slipper lobster, with a carapace length of up to , and a total length up to . It is typically a uniform reddish brown in colour; the tail fan (uropods and telson) can be a browner or a yellower hue. ''I. ciliatus'' is very similar to '' Ibacus pubescens'', and can only be distinguished by the lack of pubescence (hairiness) on the carapace, and by the number of teeth along the edges of the carapace; in ''I. ciliatus'' there are typically 11 (occasionally 10 or 12), while in ''I. pubescens'' there are typically 12 (ranging from 11 to 14). The larvae of ''I. ciliatus'' are the typical phyllosoma larvae found in all slipper lobsters and spiny lobsters. The first phyllosoma is around across, with later stages, sometimes known as "giant phyllosomas", reaching up to . Distribution and ecology ''Ibacus ciliatus'' occurs in ...

Slipper Lobster
Slipper lobsters are a family (Scyllaridae) of about 90 species of achelate crustaceans, in the Decapoda clade Reptantia, found in all warm oceans and seas. They are not true lobsters, but are more closely related to spiny lobsters and furry lobsters. Slipper lobsters are instantly recognisable by their enlarged antennae, which project forward from the head as wide plates. All the species of slipper lobsters are edible, and some, such as the Moreton Bay bug and the Balmain bug (''Ibacus peronii'') are of commercial importance. Description Slipper lobsters have six segments in their heads and eight segments in the thorax, which are collectively covered in a thick carapace. The six segments of the abdomen each bear a pair of pleopods, while the thoracic appendages are either walking legs or maxillipeds. The head segments bear various mouthparts and two pairs of antennae. The first antennae, or ''antennules'', are held on a long flexible stalk, and are used for sensing the env ...

William Elford Leach
William Elford Leach Royal Society, FRS (2 February 1791 – 25 August 1836) was an English zoologist and marine biologist. Life and work Elford Leach was born at Hoe Gate, Plymouth, the son of an attorney. At the age of twelve he began a medical apprenticeship at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Devonshire and Exeter Hospital, studying anatomy and chemistry. By this time he was already collecting marine animals from Plymouth Sound and along the Devon coast. At seventeen he began studying medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, finishing his training at the University of Edinburgh before graduating Doctor of Medicine, MD from the University of St Andrews (where he had never studied). From 1813 Leach concentrated on his zoological interests and was employed as an 'Assistant Librarian' (what would later be called Assistant Keeper) in the Natural History Museum, London, Natural History Department of the British Museum, where he had responsibility for the zoological ...

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] |

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...
