Pandaka (fish)
''Pandaka'' is a genus of fish in the goby subfamily, Gobionellinae, native to fresh, brackish and marine waters of Asia and the western Pacific Ocean. Some species in the genus are among the smallest fish in the world;Mukai, T., et al. (2004)Genetic and geographical differentiation of ''Pandaka'' gobies in Japan.''Ichthyological Research'' 51(3), 222-27. the male ''P. pygmaea'' can be just in standard length at maturity.Froese, R. and D. Pauly. (Eds.''Pandaka pygmaea''.FishBase. 2011. The genus name is a word for a dwarf in the a number of languages of the Philippines and refers to the small size of these fish. Species There are currently seven recognized species in this genus: * '' Pandaka bipunctata'' H. L. Wu, 2008 * '' Pandaka lidwilli'' (McCulloch, 1917) (dwarf tiger goby) * '' Pandaka pusilla'' Herre, 1927 (tiny pygmy-goby) * ''Pandaka pygmaea'' Herre, 1927 (dwarf pygmy goby) * '' Pandaka rouxi'' ( M.

Pandaka Pygmaea
The dwarf pygmy goby or Philippine goby (''Pandaka pygmaea'') is a tropical species of fish in the subfamily Gobionellinae from brackish water and mangrove areas in Southeast Asia. It is one of the smallest fish species in the world. Males reach maturity at a standard length of and can reach up to in standard length, while the females can grow up to in total length. Adults weigh around . It is known as ''bia'' and ''tabios'' in the Philippines., ''Guide to the Philippine Flora and Fauna, Band IX'', (undated). Distribution and habitat ''P. pygmaea'' was initially reported as being endemic to Malabon, Metro Manila in the Philippines, where found at shady river banks. The species has now been extirpated from this area as it was reclaimed, leading to its status as critically endangered by the IUCN. More recently, it has been discovered at a range of other locations in Southeast Asia, including Culion Island, Bali, Sulawesi and Singapore. As part of the aquarium trade, it was im ...

Pandaka Trimaculata
Paṇḍaka is a Sanskrit and Pali sexuality term which does not have precise English translation, but incorporates (or perhaps confuses) multiple concepts associated with immaturity, voyeurism, impotence and infertility. It has been studied under the auspices of Theravada Buddhist thought. Historic context In the Vinaya Pali Canon, 4 gender types are defined: male, female, ''ubhatobyañjanaka'' and pandaka. ''ubhatobyañjanaka'' refers to intersex or literally ''a person with the signs of both binary sexes/genders''. (Historic references to hermaphroditism have been superseded by the understanding that true hermaphroditism has never been observed in humans.) Paṇḍaka is a less clear cut case, all references have a central theme: some form of deficiency in male sexual reproductive capacity or reproductive desire. In traditional Hindu pre-scientific thought, all reproductive capacity (or burden) has been assigned to the sperm and lingam with no credit to the female or egg. ...

Max Carl Wilhelm Weber
Max Carl Wilhelm Weber van Bosse or Max Wilhelm Carl Weber (5 December 1852, in Bonn – 7 February 1937, in Eerbeek) was a German-Dutch zoologist and biogeographer. Weber studied at the University of Bonn, then at the Humboldt University in Berlin with the zoologist Eduard Carl von Martens (1831–1904). He obtained his doctorate in 1877. Weber taught at the University of Utrecht then participated in an expedition to the Barents Sea. He became Professor of Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Amsterdam in 1883. In the same year he received naturalised Dutch citizenship. His discoveries as leader of the Siboga Expedition led him to propose Weber's line, which encloses the region in which the mammalian fauna is exclusively Australasian, as an alternative to Wallace's Line. As is the case with plant species, faunal surveys revealed that for most vertebrate groups Wallace’s line was not the most significant biogeographic boundary. The Tanimbar Island group, and ...

Allan Riverstone McCulloch
Allan Riverstone McCulloch (20 June 1885 – 1 September 1925) was a prominent Australian ichthyologist. Born in Sydney, Australia, McCulloch began his scientific career at the age of 13 as an unpaid assistant to Edgar Ravenswood Waite in the Australian Museum where Waite encouraged McCulloch to study zoology. Three years later, he was employed as a "mechanical assistant", and five years after that, as curator of fishes, a post he held until his death. McCulloch collected and published prolifically; from his first paper in 1906 (published in ''Records of the Australian Museum''), no year passed without his making a contribution to science, and he wrote over 100 original papers in all, many including his own illustrations. McCulloch travelled widely for his collections, including trips to Queensland, Lord Howe Island, New Guinea, the Great Barrier Reef and various Pacific islands. His major research interest was in fish, but he was also given the responsibility of the crustace ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
