Micropoecilia
''Micropoecilia'' is a genus of poeciliids native to fresh and brackish water from the Amazon Basin to Trinidad. While recognized as valid by FishBase, others have considered this genus as being synonymous with ''Poecilia''. Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: * ''Micropoecilia bifurca'' (Carl H. Eigenmann, C. H. Eigenmann, 1909) * ''Micropoecilia branneri'' (Carl H. Eigenmann, C. H. Eigenmann, 1894) (Branner's livebearer) * ''Micropoecilia minima'' (Wilson José Eduardo Moreira da Costa, W. J. E. M. Costa & Alessandra Sarraf, Sarraf, 1997) * ''Micropoecilia picta'' (Charles Tate Regan, Regan, 1913) (Swamp guppy) The type species of the genus is ''Micropoecilia parae'' but this is not included within the genus by Fishbase but other workers have recovered this species within the subgenus ''Micropoecilia'' of ''Poecilia'', arguing that ''Micropoecilia'', alongside the subgenera ''Acanthophacelus'', ''Limia'', ''Pamphorichthys'' and ''Mollienesia'' sh ...

Poecilia
''Poecilia'' is a genus of fishes in the family Poeciliidae of the order Cyprinodontiformes. These livebearers are native to fresh, brackish and salt water in the Americas, and some species in the genus are euryhaline. A few have adapted to living in waters that contain high levels of toxic hydrogen sulfide ()Palacios, Arias-Rodriguez, Plath, Eifert, Lerp, Lamboj, Voelker, & Tobler (2013). The Rediscovery of a Long Described Species Reveals Additional Complexity in Speciation Patterns of Poeciliid Fishes in Sulfide Springs.' PLoS ONE 8(8): e71069. and a population of '' P. mexicana'' lives in caves (other populations of this species are surface-living). Some common and widespread species are often kept as aquarium fish, while other have very small ranges and are seriously threatened. All species in ''Poecilia'' are called mollies except for the Endler's livebearer (''P. wingei'') and the well-known guppy (''P. reticulata'') which have a distinctly different body shape from the r ...

Pamphorichthys
''Pamphorichthys'' is a genus of poeciliids native to the Amazon, Paraguay, São Francisco and Itapicuru basins in South America. Some authorities consider ''Pamphorichthys'' to be a subgenus of ''Poecilia''. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * ''Pamphorichthys araguaiensis'' W. J. E. M. Costa, 1991 * ''Pamphorichthys hasemani'' (Henn, 1916) * ''Pamphorichthys hollandi'' (Henn, 1916) * ''Pamphorichthys minor'' (Garman, 1895) (Mini-molly) * ''Pamphorichthys pertapeh'' C. A.

Poeciliid
The Poeciliidae are a family of freshwater fishes of the order Cyprinodontiformes, the tooth-carps, and include well-known live-bearing aquarium fish, such as the guppy, molly, platy, and swordtail. The original distribution of the family was the Southeastern United States to north of Río de la Plata, Argentina, and Africa, including Madagascar. Due to release of aquarium specimens and the widespread use of species of the genera ''Poecilia'' and ''Gambusia'' for mosquito control, though, poeciliids can today be found in all tropical and subtropical areas of the world. In addition, ''Poecilia'' and ''Gambusia'' specimens have been identified in hot springs pools as far north as Banff, Alberta. Live-bearing Although the whole family Poeciliidae is known as "live bearers" (viviparous), some species are egg-scattering with external fertilization. All African species are egg-layers, and (with the exception of the members of the genus ''Tomeurus''), all American species are live ...

Limia
''Limia'' is a genus of livebearing fishes belonging to the Cyprinodontiform family Poeciliidae, which includes other livebearers such as platys, swordtails (genus ''Xiphophorous''), guppies and mollies (genus ''Poecilia''). They are found in fresh and brackish water. Of the 21 described ''Limia'' species, 17 are endemic to Hispaniola, one is found on both Hispaniola and Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and Venezuela have an endemic species each. Limia are popular in aquaria among more advanced hobbyists. Origin and evolution Two schools of thought on the origin of the genus exist. The first suggests that Limia arose from colonization by a seawater-tolerant species that crossed over shallow waters from the North or South American mainland. The strongest evidence for this model is that of the approximately 60 species of freshwater fish in the Antilles, all of them are secondary division freshwater fish. This indicates the ancestors of all fish present on the islands a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Leavitt Hubbs
Carl Leavitt Hubbs (October 19, 1894 – June 30, 1979) was an American ichthyologist. Biography Youth He was born in Williams, Arizona. He was the son of Charles Leavitt and Elizabeth (née Goss) Hubbs. His father had a wide variety of jobs (farmer, iron mine owner, newspaper owner). The family moved several times before settling in San Diego where he got his first taste of natural history. After his parents divorced in 1907, he lived with his mother, who opened a private school in Redondo Beach, California. His maternal grandmother Jane Goble Goss, one of the first female doctors, showed Hubbs how to harvest shellfish and other sea creatures. One of his teachers, impressed by Hubbs's abilities in science, recommended that he study chemistry at the University of Berkeley. The family moved once more to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, George Bliss Culver, one of the many volunteers of David Starr Jordan, encouraged Hubbs to abandon his study of birds and instead to study fish, par ...
