Amphipods
Amphipoda is an order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies. Amphipods range in size from and are mostly detritivores or scavengers. There are more than 9,900 amphipod species so far described. They are mostly marine animals, but are found in almost all aquatic environments. Some 1,900 species live in fresh water, and the order also includes the terrestrial sandhoppers such as ''Talitrus saltator''. Etymology and names The name ''Amphipoda'' comes, via New Latin ', from the Greek roots 'on both/all sides' and 'foot'. This contrasts with the related Isopoda, which have a single kind of thoracic leg. Particularly among anglers, amphipods are known as ''freshwater shrimp'', ''scuds'', or ''sideswimmers''. Description Anatomy The body of an amphipod is divided into 13 segments, which can be grouped into a head, a thorax and an abdomen. The head is fused to the thorax, and bears two pairs of antennae and one pair of ses ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lanceola (crustacean)
''Lanceola'' is a genus of green algae in the family Characiaceae, containing a single species, ''Lanceola spatulifera''. It is found in freshwater habitats. ''Lanceola'' consists of free-floating, single cells. The cell is narrowly spindle-shaped (fusiform), tapered into a narrow spine at one end, and at the other end a lanceolate appendage. The cell wall is smooth. Cells contain a single parietal chloroplast with a pyrenoid, and a central nucleus. It reproduces by forming zoospores with two flagella. The genus was created by František Hindák František () is a masculine given name of Czech origin. It is a cognate of Francis, Francisco, François, and Franz. People with the name include: *Frank Daniel (František Daniel) (1926–1996), Czech film director, producer, and screenwriter *F ... for the leaf-like appendage on one end of the cell. However, it has been rejected by other taxonomists, because the structure appears typical of the appendages found in the genus '' Anky ...
