Crustacean
Crustaceans (Crustacea, ) form a large, diverse arthropod taxon which includes such animals as decapods, seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods, barnacles, copepods, amphipods and mantis shrimp. The crustacean group can be treated as a subphylum under the clade Mandibulata. It is now well accepted that the hexapods emerged deep in the Crustacean group, with the completed group referred to as Pancrustacea. Some crustaceans (Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Branchiopoda) are more closely related to insects and the other hexapods than they are to certain other crustaceans. The 67,000 described species range in size from '' Stygotantulus stocki'' at , to the Japanese spider crab with a leg span of up to and a mass of . Like other arthropods, crustaceans have an exoskeleton, which they moult to grow. They are distinguished from other groups of arthropods, such as insects, myriapods and chelicerates, by the possession of biramous (two-parted) limbs, and by th ...

Thalassinidea
Thalassinidea is a former infraorder of decapod crustaceans that live in burrows in muddy bottoms of the world's oceans. In Australian English, the littoral thalassinidean ''Trypaea australiensis'' is referred to as the ''yabby'' (a term which also refers to freshwater crayfish of the genus ''Cherax''), frequently used as bait for estuarine fishing; elsewhere, however, they are poorly known, and as such have few vernacular names, "mud lobster" and "ghost shrimp" counting among them. The burrows made by thalassinideans are frequently preserved, and the fossil record of thalassinideans reaches back to the late Jurassic. The group was abandoned when it became clear that it represented two separate lineages, now both recognised as infraorders: Gebiidea and Axiidea. Recent molecular analyses have shown that thalassinideans are most closely related to Brachyura (crabs) and Anomura (hermit crabs and their allies). There are believed to be 556 extant species of thalassinideans in 96 gene ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Callianassa (genus)
''Callianassa'' is a genus of mud shrimps, in the family Callianassidae. Three of the species in this genus ('' C. candida'', '' C. tyrrhena'' and '' C. whitei'') have been split off into a new genus, '' Pestarella'', while others such as '' Callianassa filholi'' have been moved to '' Biffarius''. Species Forty-six species are currently recognised in the genus ''Callianassa'': *'' Callianassa acutirostella'' Sakai, 1988 *'' Callianassa affinis'' A. Milne-Edwards, 1861 *''Callianassa amplimaxilla'' Sakai, 2002 *'' Callianassa anoploura'' Sakai, 2002 *'' Callianassa aqabaensis'' Dworschak, 2003 *'' Callianassa australis'' Kensley, 1974 *''Callianassa bangensis'' Sakai, 2005 *''Callianassa batei'' Woodward, 1869 *''Callianassa brachytelson'' Sakai, 2002 *''Callianassa brevirostris'' Sakai, 2002 *''Callianassa chakratongae'' Sakai, 2002 *''Callianassa contipes'' Sakai, 2002 *''Callianassa costaricensis'' Sakai, 2005 *''Callianassa diaphora'' Le Loeuff & Intes, 1974 *''Callianassa ...

Pestarella
''Pestarella'' is a genus of thalassinidean crustacean erected in 2003 from former members of the genus ''Callianassa''. It is distinguished from ''Callianassa'' by the rounded, rather than squarish telson, and by the absence of the first two pleopods in males. The genus contains the following species: *'' Pestarella candida'' (Olivi, 1792) *'' Pestarella convexa'' (de Saint Laurent & Le Loeuff, 1979) *'' Pestarella rotundicaudata'' (Stebbing, 1902) *''Pestarella tyrrhena ''Gilvossius tyrrhenus'' (formerly ''Pestarella tyrrhena'') is a species of thalassinidean crustacean (''ghost shrimp'' or ''mud shrimp'') which grows to a length of .

Upogebia
''Upogebia'' is a genus of mud shrimp, in the family Upogebiidae, containing the following species: *'' Upogebia acanthops'' Williams, 1986 *''Upogebia acanthura'' (Coêlho, 1973) *''Upogebia acarinicauda'' Sakai, 2006 *'' Upogebia aestuari'' Williams, 1993 *''Upogebia affinis'' (Say, 1818) *'' Upogebia africana'' (Ortmann, 1894) *'' Upogebia allobranchus'' Ngoc-Ho, 1991 *'' Upogebia allspachi'' Sakai, 2006 *''Upogebia amboinensis'' (De Man, 1888) *'' Upogebia anacanthus'' Ngoc-Ho, 1994 *''Upogebia ancylodactyla'' De Man, 1905 *'' Upogebia annae'' Thistle, 1973 *'' Upogebia aquilina'' Williams, 1993 *''Upogebia aristata'' Le Loeuff & Intes, 1974 *''Upogebia assisi'' Barnard, 1947 *''Upogebia australiensis'' De Man, 1927 *''Upogebia australis'' Thatje & Gerdes, 2000 *''Upogebia baldwini'' Williams, 1997 *''Upogebia balmaorum'' Ngoc-Ho, 1990 *''Upogebia balssi'' De Man, 1927 *''Upogebia barbata'' (Strahl, 1862) *''Upogebia baweana'' Tirmizi & Kazmi, 1979 *''Upogebia borradailei'' ...

Corophium Volutator
''Corophium volutator'' is a species of amphipod crustacean in the family Corophiidae. It is found in mudflats of the northern Atlantic Ocean The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about . It covers approximately 20% of Earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area. It is known to separate the " Old World" of Africa, Europe .... It is native to the north-east Atlantic Ocean, and has been introduced to the north-west Atlantic. Description ''Corophium volutator'' is a slender animal, up to long, "whitish with brown markings". The head bear two pairs of antennae, the first of which are small and point forwards, while the distinctive second pair are much longer and thicker. Life cycle There are 1–2 generations per year, and the females brood the eggs inside their brood pouch or ''marsupium''. They can occur in huge quantities: up to 60,000 per square metre have been observed. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q146070 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
