Margarya Spinicostata
''Margarya'' is a genus of large operculate freshwater snails, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Viviparidae.Bouchet, P. (2014). Margarya G. Nevill, 1877. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=758767 on 2014-12-10 Taxonomy The genus ''Margarya'' was described by Nevill (1877) based on shells of the type species collected by A.R. Margary from Lake Erhai, the type locality of ''Margarya melanioides''. Based on shell and radular morphology, Tchang & Tsi (1949) revised this genus for the first time and recognized seven distinct species. He created two subgenera of ''Margarya'' , viz ''Tchangmargarya'' and ''Mabillemargarya''. The first molecular phylogeny showed that the genus ''Margarya'' is polyphyletic and divided into three distinct clades. Combining study of comparative morphology and molecular phylogeny, Zhang ''et al''. revised the systematics of ''Margarya'' and recognized eight genuine exta ...

Animalia
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have 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 bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinode ...

Margarya Melanioides
''Margarya melanioides'' is a species of large operculate freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Viviparidae, the river snails. ''Margarya melanioides'' is the type species of the genus ''Margarya''. Distribution The distribution of ''Margarya melanioides'' includes Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Jianhu Lake, Xihu Lake, and Cibi Lake in Yunnan Province, China. Former records in Daduitai Lake and Xingyun Lake are considered as a result of the mix-up of species name. An average population density was 36 individuals per square meter in Dianchi Lake in 1940s, 0.7 individuals per square meter in 1990s and 0.068 individuals per square meter in Dianchi Lake in 2012. According to the population ecology research by Song et al. (2013), the population of will collapse in the Dian Lake in 2015. Description The width of the shell is up to 64.3 mm. The height of the shell is up to 94.7 mm. Shu et al. (2010) provided details about the shell and about th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People's Republic Of China
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, slightly ahead of India. China spans the equivalent of five time zones and borders fourteen countries by land, the most of any country in the world, tied with Russia. Covering an area of approximately , it is the world's third largest country by total land area. The country consists of 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities, and two Special Administrative Regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The national capital is Beijing, and the most populous city and financial center is Shanghai. Modern Chinese trace their origins to a cradle of civilization in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain. The semi-legendary Xia dynasty in the 21st century BCE and the well-attested Shang and Zhou dynasties developed a bureaucratic political system to serve hereditary monarchies, or dyna ...

Erhai or Er Lake (), is an alpine fault lake in Yunnan province, China. Erhai was also known as Yeyuze () or Kunming Lake () in ancient times. Etymology The character "æ´±" (er) does not have the same meaning as ear (耳). During the Han to Tang dynasty, there was an ancient ethnic named ''Kunming Yi'' or Kunming Barbarian () lived in the neighbouring region of Erhai lake. Therefore, the lake was also called "Kunming Lake". The ''Kunming Yi'' has another name ''Kun-mi'' (). In the following time, Chinese literature recorded the name "昆弥" as "昆å¼" (Kun-mi) that "å¼" is a rebus of "å¼¥". And the name of the lake was also be changed to the character "渳" (mi) which has a water-meaning radical () attached to it. Fang Guoyu believe the name "æ´±" (er) was simplified from "渳", after that the name "Erhai" continues to this day. According to Bai scholar's research, the "Yeyu" in the Chinese name "Yeyuze" (''ze'' ³½means lake) is evolved from Bai language which means "lower wa ...
