Metabetaeus Lohena
''Metabetaeus lohena'', also known as the alpha snapping shrimp or anchialine snapping shrimp, is a species of alpheid shrimp native to Hawaii and Easter Island.Anker, Arthur, 2010, Metabetaeus Borradaile, 1899 revisited, with description of a new marine species from French Polynesia (Crustacea: Decapoda: Alpheidae), Zootaxa 2552, pp. 37-54 : 51-53 DOI:10.5281/zenodo.6206644 Description ''Metabetaeus lohena'' is an alpheid scavenger, which will also hunt small anchialine invertebrates. ''M. lohena'' grows to lengths of 18 mm and are pale pink to vibrant red in colour. Shrimp possess large claws and a clearly visible mandibular spot. Females once gravid will produce a mass of 20 to 29 eggs. ''M. lohena'' larvae lack a yolk sack, which suggests the species possess a planktotrophic larval feeding phase. ''M. lohena'' have been recorded to live for up to 6 years. Distribution and habitat ''Metabetaeus lohena'' has a widespread distribution in Hawaii where it is native to m ...

Metabetaeus Minutus
''Metabetaeus minutus'' is a species of alpheid shrimp native to the Indo-West Pacific. Description ''Metabetaeus minutus'' can vary in colour from blood red to pink, orange or white depending on the concentration of red chromatophores on the shrimps body. The average size can range depending on the population, with the smallest collected from Fakaofo being 12 mm long and largest known specimen being collected from Jaluit Atoll at 17 mm long. Distribution and habitat ''Metabetaeus minutus'' is native to the Indo-West pacific, where it can be found living on many islands including: Funafuti, Fakaofo, Jaluit Atoll, Arno Atoll, Easter Island, Minami Daito, Miyako Islands, Lifou, Sulawesi, Muna Island. ''M. minutus'' can be found inhabiting landlocked anchialine pools, containing brackish water. Populations can also be found living in anchialine cave An anchialine system (, from Greek ''ankhialos'', "near the sea") is a landlocked body of water with a subterranea ...

Alpheidae
Alpheidae is a family of caridean snapping shrimp, characterized by having asymmetrical claws, the larger of which is typically capable of producing a loud snapping sound. Other common names for animals in the group are pistol shrimp or alpheid shrimp. The family is diverse and worldwide in distribution, consisting of about 1,119 species within 38 or more genera. The two most prominent genera are ''Alpheus'' and ''Synalpheus'', with species numbering well over 250 and 100, respectively. Most snapping shrimp dig burrows and are common inhabitants of coral reefs, submerged seagrass flats, and oyster reefs. While most genera and species are found in tropical and temperate coastal and marine waters, ''Betaeus'' inhabits cold seas and ''Potamalpheops'' is found only in freshwater caves. When in colonies, the snapping shrimp can interfere with sonar and underwater communication. The shrimp are considered a major source of sound in the ocean.

Lancelot Alexander Borradaile
Lancelot Alexander Borradaile (1872 – 20 October 1945) was an English zoologist, noted for his work on crustaceans and his books ''The Invertebrata'' and ''Manual of Elementary Zoology''. Legacy Borradaile may be best known for his undergraduate textbook titled ''Manual of Elementary Zoology'', and for ''The Invertebrata: a manual for the use of students'', co-written with F. A. Potts. As well as these generalist works, Borradaile also worked as a carcinologist. He published an important monograph ''On the Pontoniinae'' in 1917, based on material collected by the 1905 Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean, led by John Stanley Gardiner. He worked extensively on crabs and similar animals, and coined the term "carcinisation" to describe "one of the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab". He is commemorated in the scientific names '' Metapenaeopsis borradaili'', '' Athanas borradailei'', '' Corallianassa borradailei'', '' Accalathura borradailei'' and '' Petrolisth ...

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 ...

Caridea
The Caridea, commonly known as caridean shrimp or true shrimp, are an infraorder of shrimp within the order Decapoda. This infraorder contains all species of true shrimp. They are found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water. Many other animals with similar names – such as the mud shrimp of Axiidea and the boxer shrimp of Stenopodidea – are not true shrimp, but many have evolved features similar to true shrimp. Biology Carideans are found in every kind of aquatic habitat, with the majority of species being marine. Around a quarter of the described species are found in fresh water, however, including almost all the members of the species-rich family Atyidae and the Palaemonidae subfamily Palaemoninae. They include several commercially important species, such as ''Macrobrachium rosenbergii'', and are found on every continent except Antarctica. The marine species are found at depths to , and from the tropics to the polar regions. In addition to the great variety in ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Zootaxa
''Zootaxa'' is a peer-reviewed scientific mega journal for animal taxonomists. It is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland, New Zealand). The journal was established by Zhi-Qiang Zhang in 2001 and new issues are published multiple times a week. From 2001 to 2020, more than 60,000 new species have been described in the journal accounting for around 25% of all new taxa indexed in The Zoological Record in the last few years. Print and online versions are available. Temporary suspension from JCR The journal exhibited high levels of self-citation and its journal impact factor of 2019 was suspended from ''Journal Citation Reports'' in 2020, a sanction which hit 34 journals in total. Biologist Ross Mounce noted that high levels of self-citation may be inevitable for a journal which publishes a large share of new species classification. Later that year this decision was reversed and it was admitted that levels of self-citation are appropriate considering the large proportion of papers f ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List of ...
