Lekanesphaera Rugicauda, France 1
''Lekanesphaera'' is a genus of Isopod in the family Sphaeromatidae. It was split off from Sphaeroma by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff, 1943.: The type species is ''L. monodi'' (formerly ''Sphaeroma monodi'' Arcangeli, 1934). Other well-studied species are ''L. glabella'' (Madera), ''L. rugicauda'' (Baltic), and ''L. hookeri'' (from Scotland and southeast Sweden to Italian lagoons). Because they inhabit intertidal zones such as estuaries, their adaptation to diurnal variations in factors such as salinity are often studied. Cladogram Lekanesphaera cladogram from the Catalogue of Life The Catalogue of Life is an online database that provides an index of known species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms.

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
