Nicothoe Tumulosa
''Nicothoe tumulosa'' is a species of copepod parasitic on the gills of the glypheoid lobster ''Neoglyphea inopinata''. It was described as a new species in 1976 by Roger F. Cressey. It can be differentiated from related species by the setal formula, and the trunk's covering of small bumps, which give the species its name. Discovery A damaged decapod was collected in 1908 by the USFC ''Albatross'' in the Philippines. It was deposited in the United States National Museum, where it remained unidentified until Michèle de Saint Laurent examined it in 1975. Her colleague Jacques Forest recognised that it represented the first known extant species of the infraorder Glypheidea, which was thought to have been extinct since the Eocene, a conclusion endorsed by Fenner A. Chace, Jr. and Raymond B. Manning. Parasitic copepods were discovered on the gills of the ''Neoglyphea'' specimen, and were described in a 1976 paper by Roger F. Cressey. Five specimens were examined, all female, and all ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Copepod
Copepods (; meaning "oar-feet") are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat (ecology), habitat. Some species are planktonic (inhabiting sea waters), some are benthos, benthic (living on the ocean floor), a number of species have parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds, and puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses (phytotelmata) of plants such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Copepods are sometimes used as Ecological indicator, biodiversity indicators. As with other crustaceans, copepods have a larval form. For copepods, the egg hatches into a Crustacean larvae#Nauplius, nauplius form, with a head and a tail but no true thorax or abdomen. The larva molts several times until it resembles the adult an ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Siphonostomatoida
Siphonostomatoida is an order of copepods, containing around 75% of all the copepods that parasitise fishes. Their success has been linked to their possession of siphon-like mandibles and of a "frontal filament" to aid attachment to their hosts. Most are marine, but a few live in fresh water. There are 40 recognised families: * Archidactylinidae Izawa, 1996 *Artotrogidae Brady, 1880 *Asterocheridae Giesbrecht, 1899 *Brychiopontiidae Humes, 1974 *Caligidae Burmeister, 1835 * Calverocheridae Stock, 1968 *Cancerillidae Giesbrecht, 1897 *Codobidae Boxshall & Ohtsuka, 2001 *Coralliomyzontidae Humes & Stock, 1991 * Dichelesthiidae Milne-Edwards, 1840 *Dichelinidae Boxshall & Ohtsuka, 2001 *Dinopontiidae Murnane, 1967 *Dirivultidae Humes & Dojiri, 1980 *Dissonidae Yamaguti, 1963 *Ecbathyriontidae Humes, 1987 *Entomolepididae Brady, 1899 *Eudactylinidae C.

Metanephrops
''Metanephrops'' is a genus of lobsters, commonly known as scampi. Important species for fishery include '' Metanephrops australiensis'' (Australian scampi) and ''Metanephrops challengeri'' (New Zealand scampi). It differs from other lobsters such as ''Homarus'' and ''Nephrops norvegicus'' in that its two main claws are of equal size, rather than being differentiated into a ''crusher'' and a ''pincher''. There are 18 extant species recognised in the genus: *''Metanephrops andamanicus'' (Wood-Mason, 1891) *''Metanephrops arafurensis'' (De Man, 1905) *''Metanephrops armatus'' Chan & Yu, 1991 *'' Metanephrops australiensis'' (Bruce, 1966) *''Metanephrops binghami'' (Boone, 1927) *''Metanephrops boschmai'' (Holthuis, 1964) *''Metanephrops challengeri'' (Balss, 1914) *''Metanephrops formosanus'' Chan & Yu, 1987 *''Metanephrops japonicus'' (Tapparone-Canefri, 1873) *'' Metanephrops mozambicus'' Macpherson, 1990 *''Metanephrops neptunus'' (Bruce, 1965) *''Metanephrops rubellus'' (Moreir ...

Homarus Gammarus
''Homarus gammarus'', known as the European lobster or common lobster, is a species of lobster, clawed lobster from the eastern Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and parts of the Black Sea. It is closely related to the American lobster, ''H. americanus''. It may grow to a length of and a mass of , and bears a conspicuous pair of claws. In life the lobsters are blue, only becoming "lobster red" on cooking. Mating occurs in the summer, producing egg (biology), eggs which are carried by the females for up to a year before hatching into planktonic crustacean larvae, larvae. ''Homarus gammarus'' is a highly esteemed food, and is widely lobster fishing, caught using lobster trap, lobster pots, mostly around the British Isles. Description ''Homarus gammarus'' is a large crustacean, with a body length up to and weighing up to , although the lobsters caught in lobster trap, lobster pots are usually long and weigh . Like other crustaceans, lobsters have a hard exoskeleton which th ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Nephropidae
Lobsters are a family (Nephropidae, synonym Homaridae) of marine crustaceans. They have long bodies with muscular tails and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor. Three of their five pairs of legs have claws, including the first pair, which are usually much larger than the others. Highly prized as seafood, lobsters are economically important and are often one of the most profitable commodities in coastal areas they populate. Commercially important species include two species of ''Homarus'' from the northern Atlantic Ocean and scampi (which look more like a shrimp, or a "mini lobster")—the Northern Hemisphere genus ''Nephrops'' and the Southern Hemisphere genus ''Metanephrops''. Distinction Although several other groups of crustaceans have the word "lobster" in their names, the unqualified term "lobster" generally refers to the clawed lobsters of the family Nephropidae. Clawed lobsters are not closely related to spiny lobsters or slipper lobsters, which have no cla ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet or species epithet) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term for ...

Proceedings Of The Biological Society Of Washington
In academia and librarianship, conference proceedings is a collection of academic papers published in the context of an academic conference or workshop. Conference proceedings typically contain the contributions made by researchers at the conference. They are the written record of the work that is presented to fellow researchers. In many fields, they are published as supplements to academic journals; in some, they are considered the main dissemination route; in others they may be considered grey literature. They are usually distributed in printed or electronic volumes, either before the conference opens or after it has closed. A less common, broader meaning of proceedings are the acts and happenings of an academic field, a learned society. For example, the title of the ''Acta Crystallographica'' journals is New Latin for "Proceedings in Crystallography"; the ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America'' is the main journal of that academy.

Raymond B
Raymond is a male given name. It was borrowed into English from French (older French spellings were Reimund and Raimund, whereas the modern English and French spellings are identical). It originated as the Germanic ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Raginmund'') or ᚱᛖᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Reginmund''). ''Ragin'' (Gothic) and ''regin'' (Old German) meant "counsel". The Old High German ''mund'' originally meant "hand", but came to mean "protection". This etymology suggests that the name originated in the Early Middle Ages, possibly from Latin. Alternatively, the name can also be derived from Germanic Hraidmund, the first element being ''Hraid'', possibly meaning "fame" (compare ''Hrod'', found in names such as Robert, Roderick, Rudolph, Roland, Rodney and Roger) and ''mund'' meaning "protector". Despite the German and French origins of the English name, some of its early uses in English documents appear in Latinized form. As a surname, its first recorded appearance in Bri ...
