Rhodaliidae
Rhodaliidae is a family of siphonophores. In Japanese they are called ().Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. (2009 onwards). Biological Information System for Marine Life (BISMaL). Accessed on 2018-11-21. available online at http://www.godac.jamstec.go.jp/bismal Rhodaliids have a characteristic gas-secreting structure called aurophore. Below the enlarged pneumatophore (float), the siphosome and nectosome are contracted into a complex. Rhodaliids have a benthic lifestyle and use their tentacles to attach themselves to the seafloor. Genera and species Rhodaliidae contains the following subtaxa: *''Angelopsis'' Fewkes, 1886 **''Angelopsis euryale'' Pugh, 1983 **'' Angelopsis globosa'' Fewkes, 1886 *'' Arancialia'' Hissmann, 2005 **'' Arancialia captonia'' Hissmann, 2005 *'' Archangelopsis'' Lens & van Riemsdijk, 1908 **'' Archangelopsis jagoa'' Hissmann, Schauer & Pugh, 1995 **'' Archangelopsis typica'' Lens & van Riemsdijk, 1908 *''Dendrogramma'' Just ...

Dendrogramma
''Dendrogramma enigmatica'' is a species of siphonophore, the only one in its genus. It has been first described in 2014 on the basis of its morphology from a collection of specimens gathered in 1986. Its taxonomic affinity among animals was then unclear, but RNA from new specimens in 2016 allowed it to be identified as a siphonophore by barcoding and phylogenomics. The specimens are presumed to represent parts (bracts) of an entire siphonophore that has not been identified yet. Discovery The first ''Dendrogramma '' specimens were collected off the south-east coast of Australia during a scientific expedition in 1986. They were collected at water depths of and on the continental slope near Tasmania, using a sled that was dragged over the sea floor to collect bottom-dwelling animals. The researchers were immediately struck by the unusual characteristics of the 18 specimens they collected. These were preserved in formaldehyde, and later in ethanol, for further study.

Angelidae
Angelidae is a family of mantises found in tropical Central and South Americas. Taxonomy and systematics The family Angelidae was formerly classified as a tribe or a subfamily of the family Mantidae and for a brief period also included the restored Asian tribe Euchomenellini The family as presently circumscribed is monotypic, containing the single genus ''Angela''. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Angela'': * '' Angela armata'' * '' Angela brachyptera'' * '' Angela championi'' * '' Angela decolor'' * ''Angela guianensis'' (Rehn, 1906) * '' Angela inermis'' * '' Angela lemoulti'' * '' Angela maxima'' * ''Angela minor'' * ''Angela miranda'' * ''Angela ornata'' * ''Angela perpulchra'' * ''Angela peruviana'' * ''Angela purpurascens'' * ''Angela quinquemaculata'' * ''Angela saussurii'' * ''Angela subhyalina'' * ''Angela trifasciata'' * ''Angela werneri Angela may refer to: Places * Angela, Montana * Angela Lake, in Volusia County, Florida * Lake ...

Reinhardt Kristensen
Reinhardt Møbjerg Kristensen (born 1948) is a Denmark, Danish invertebrate biologist, noted for the discovery of three new phylum, phyla of microscopic animals: the Loricifera in 1983, the Symbion, Cycliophora in 1995, and the Limnognathia, Micrognathozoa in 2000. He is also considered one of the world's leading experts on Tardigrada, tardigrades. His recent field of work revolves mostly around arctic biology. He is also known for documenting ''Dendrogramma'', an invertebrate genus that was later classified as Siphonophorae of the family Rhodaliidae. Loricifera Kristensen collected the first members of the Loricifera phylum in Roscoff, France, in 1970, but did not describe it until 1983.Heiner, I. 2005.

Siphonophore
Siphonophorae (from Greek ''siphōn'' 'tube' + ''pherein'' 'to bear') is an order within Hydrozoa, which is a class of marine organisms within the phylum Cnidaria. According to the World Register of Marine Species, the order contains 175 species thus far. Although a siphonophore may appear to be an individual organism, each specimen is in fact a colonial organism composed of medusoid and polypoid zooids that are morphologically and functionally specialized. Zooids are multicellular units that develop from a single fertilized egg and combine to create functional colonies able to reproduce, digest, float, maintain body positioning, and use jet propulsion to move. Most colonies are long, thin, transparent floaters living in the pelagic zone. Like other hydrozoans, some siphonophores emit light to attract and attack prey. While many sea animals produce blue and green bioluminescence, a siphonophore in the genus ''Erenna'' was only the second life form found to produce a red lig ...

Japanese Language
is spoken natively by about 128 million people, primarily by Japanese people and primarily in Japan, the only country where it is the national language. Japanese belongs to the Japonic or Japanese- Ryukyuan language family. There have been many attempts to group the Japonic languages with other families such as the Ainu, Austroasiatic, Koreanic, and the now-discredited Altaic, but none of these proposals has gained widespread acceptance. Little is known of the language's prehistory, or when it first appeared in Japan. Chinese documents from the 3rd century AD recorded a few Japanese words, but substantial Old Japanese texts did not appear until the 8th century. From the Heian period (794–1185), there was a massive influx of Sino-Japanese vocabulary into the language, affecting the phonology of Early Middle Japanese. Late Middle Japanese (1185–1600) saw extensive grammatical changes and the first appearance of European loanwords. The basis of the standard dialect moved f ...

Pneumatophore
Aerial roots are roots above the ground. They are almost always adventitious. They are found in diverse plant species, including epiphytes such as orchids (''Orchidaceae''), tropical coastal swamp trees such as mangroves, banyan figs ('' Ficus subg. Urostigma''), the warm-temperate rainforest rata (''Metrosideros robusta''), and pohutukawa trees of New Zealand (''Metrosideros excelsa''). Vines such as common ivy (''Hedera helix'') and poison ivy (''Toxicodendron radicans'') also have aerial roots. Types of aerial roots This plant organ that is found in so many diverse plant-families has different specializations that suit the plant-habitat. In general growth-form, they can be technically classed as '' negatively gravitropic'' (grows up and away from the ground) or ''positively gravitropic'' (grows down toward the ground). "Stranglers" (prop-root) Banyan trees are an example of a strangler fig that begins life as an epiphyte in the crown of another tree. Their roots grow do ...
