Jeanne Renaud-Mornant
Jeanne Renaud-Mornant, Born Jeanne Renaud, Jeanne Renaud-Debyser before her second marriage (8 August 1925 Vellexon – 18 September 2012, Paris) was a French biologist specialising in meiofauna. Biography Jeanne Renaud-Mornant began her career in 1951 and quickly became interested in meiofauna, a fauna compartment defined by Mare in 1942 consisting of small benthic metazoans smaller than a millimetre in size. She obtained a Fulbright scholarship in 1953 to continue her studies in Florida, and obtained her doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne in 1961. Soon after, she participated in the first international conference on meiofauna in Tunis and became increasingly involved in the scientific community by contributing to the creation of the International Association of Meiobenthologists that she chaired in 1976-1977 and participating in the editorial board of the official newsletter of the IAM: ''Psamonalia''. She was particularly noted for her work with Tardigrada. In 1967, her w ... [...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 ...

Tardigrade
Tardigrades (), known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They were first described by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773, who called them Kleiner Wasserbär ("little water bear"). In 1777, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named them Tardigrada (), which means "slow steppers". They have been found in diverse regions of Earth's biospheremountaintops, the deep sea, tropical rainforests, and the Antarctic. Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known, with individual species able to survive extreme conditions – such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation – that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space. There are about 1,300 known species in the phylum Tardigrada, a part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa consisting of animals th ...

Stygarctidae
The Stygarctidae are a family of tardigrades. The family was first described by Schulz in 1951. The genus '' Neoarctus'' was first placed in the family Stygarctidae, but it was moved to a separate family, Neoarctidae ''Neoarctus primigenius'' is a species of tardigrade. It is the only species in the genus ''Neoarctus'', which is the only genus in the family Neoarctidae. The genus and species were first described and named by Grimaldi de Zio, D'Addabbo Gallo ..., in 1998.Bello & Grimaldi de Zio (1998), ''Phylogeny of the genera of the Stygarctidae and related families (Tardigrada: Heterotardigrada).'' Zoologischer Anzeiger, vol. 237, p. 171-183. Subfamilies and genera They are divided into the following subfamilies and genera: *Megastygarctidinae Bello & de Zio Grimaldi, 1998: **'' Megastygarctides'' McKirdy, Schmidt & McGinty-Bayly, 1976 *Stygarctinae Schulz, 1951: **'' Faroestygarctus'' Hansen, Kristensen & Jørgensen, 2012 **'' Mesostygarctus'' Renaud-Mornant, 1979 **'' Par ...

University Of Modena And Reggio Emilia
The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia ( it, Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia), located in Modena and Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, is one of the oldest universities in Italy, founded in 1175, with a population of 20,000 students. The medieval university disappeared by 1338 and was replaced by "three public lectureships" which did not award degrees and were suspended in the 1590s "for lack of money". The university was not reestablished in Modena until the 1680s and did not receive an imperial charter until 1685.Quoted from: Grenler, Paul F. The Universities of the Italian Renaissance Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004. Page 137. Some famous students who attended the university include Ludovico Antonio Muratori, a noted Italian historian and scholar who graduated in 1694, the playwright Carlo Goldoni in the 17th century and, in the last century, Sandro Pertini, who became President of the Italian Republic.
