Robert Rush Miller
Robert Rush Miller (April 23, 1916 – February 10, 2003) "was an important figure in American ichthyology and conservation from 1940 to the 1990s." He was born in Colorado Springs, earned his bachelor's degree at University of California, Berkeley in 1938, a master's degree at the University of Michigan in 1943, and a Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in 1944. He received tenure at the University of Michigan in 1954. Together with W. L. Minckley, he discovered a new species of platyfish, '' Xiphophorus gordoni'', that they named in honor of Dr Myron Gordon. He served as the ichthyological editor of ''Copeia'' from 1950 to 1955.

Cyprinodon Nevadensis Mionectes
''Cyprinodon'' is a genus of pupfishes found in waters that range from fresh to hypersaline. The genus is primarily found in Mexico, the Caribbean Islands and southern United States (Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas), but ''C. variegatus'' occurs as far north as Massachusetts and along the entire Gulf of Mexico coastline, and ''C. dearborni '' and ''C. variegatus'' are found in northern South America.Martin, C. H., and P. C. Wainwright (2013). ''Multiple Fitness Peaks on the Adaptive Landscape Drive Adaptive Radiation in the Wild.'' Science 339(6116): 208-211. Many species have tiny ranges and are highly threatened, in some cases already extinct. ''Cyprinodon'' are small; the largest reaches in length and most other species only reach about half that size. Distribution and habitat A few ''Cyprinodon'' species have quite large ranges, notably '' C. variegatus'', but the vast majority have small ranges, typically restricted to one or two Me ...

Cyprinodon Nevadensis Amargosae
The Amargosa River pupfish (''Cyprinodon nevadensis amargosae'') is a member of a pupfish species complex which inhabits the watershed of ancient Lake Manly (present day Death Valley in California, USA). Currently, the species inhabits two disjunct perennial reaches of the lower Amargosa River. The upstream portion is near Tecopa and passes through the Amargosa Canyon. The lower portion is northwest of Saratoga Springs, just at the head (southern inlet) of Death Valley, where the Amargosa River turns north to enter the valley. These diminutive fish subsist on cyanobacteria and algae. They have a life history adapted to the vagaries of the intermittent nature of their environment. They have a very short generation time In population biology and demography, generation time is the average time between two consecutive generations in the lineages of a population. In human populations, generation time typically ranges from 22 to 33 years. Historians sometimes use this ... (<1 year ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyprinodon Meeki
The Mezquital pupfish (''Cyprinodon meeki'') is a species of pupfish in the family Cyprinodontidae. It is endemic to Durango in Mexico. This species was described by Robert Rush Miller in 1976 from a pond which was fed by hot springs within the basin of the Río del Tunal, approximately east of Durango City at an altitude of about . The specific name honors the American ichthyologist Seth Eugene Meek Seth Eugene Meek (April 1, 1859, Hicksville, Ohio – July 6, 1914, Chicago) was an American ichthyologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He was the first compiler of a book on Mexican freshwater fishes. Together with his assi ... (1859-1914), a pioneer of the study of the freshwater fish of Mexico.

Cyprinodon Maya
The Maya pupfish (''Cyprinodon maya''), known in Spanish as ''cachorrito gigante'', is a highly threatened species of fish in the family Cyprinodontidae. It is endemic to Lake Chichancanab in Quintana Roo, Mexico. In almost all places, different ''Cyprinodon'' species do not overlap in their range, but there are two notable exceptions and one of these is Lake Chichancanab, which is inhabited by ''C. maya'', '' C. beltrani'', '' C. esconditus'', '' C. labiosus'', '' C. simus'', '' C. suavium'' and '' C. verecundus'' (the other place where several ''Cyprinodon'' species live together are lakes in San Salvador Island, the Bahamas). Living together, the ''Cyprinodon'' species in Lake Chichancanab have diverged into different niches. Pupfish typically feed on algae and detritus. In Lake Chichancanab, however, ''C. maya'' has become not only the largest species in the genus ''Cyprinodon'', up to long, but also the only that catches and eats whole fish ('' C. desquamator'' of San Salva ...

Cyprinodon Macrolepis
The largescale pupfish (''Cyprinodon macrolepis'') is a species of fish in the family Cyprinodontidae. This pupfish is endemic to Chihuahua in Mexico Mexico (Spanish: México), officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatema ..., where it is found only in a small spring known as El Ojo de Hacienda Delores and its outlet canal.

Cyprinodon Laciniatus
''Cyprinodon'' is a genus of pupfishes found in waters that range from fresh to hypersaline. The genus is primarily found in Mexico, the Caribbean Islands and southern United States (Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas), but ''C. variegatus'' occurs as far north as Massachusetts and along the entire Gulf of Mexico coastline, and ''C. dearborni '' and ''C. variegatus'' are found in northern South America.Martin, C.

Cyprinodon Labiosus
The thicklip pupfish (''Cyprinodon labiosus''), known in Spanish as ''Cachorrito cangrejero'', is a species of fish in the family Cyprinodontidae. The thicklip pupfish is endemic to Laguna Chichancanab in Quintana Roo, Mexico. In almost all places, different ''Cyprinodon'' species do not overlap in their range, but there are two notable exceptions and one of these is Lake Chichancanab, which is inhabited by ''C. labiosus'', '' C. beltrani'', ''C. esconditus'', '' C. maya'', '' C. simus'', ''C. suavium'' and '' C. verecundus'' (the other place where several ''Cyprinodon'' species live together are lakes in San Salvador Island, the Bahamas). Among the endemic ''Cyprinodon'' species in Lake Chichancanab, only ''C. beltrani'' and ''C. labiosus'' still occur in some numbers in their habitat, while the remaining are virtually—if not fully— extinct in the wild (at least some of these still survive in captivity). They usually live in a tropical climate with temperatures ranging from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyprinodon Fontinalis
The Carbonera pupfish (''Cyprinodon fontinalis''), also known as the Perrito de carbonera, is a small, endangered species of pupfish in the family Cyprinodontidae. It is endemic to springs and associated waters at Bolsón de los Muertos in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. It was last rated by the IUCN in 1996 where considered endangered, but most subpopulations now appear to be extirpated, while a few are extinct in the wild (still survive in captivity). In 2012, it only survived in the wild in a single spring (having once occurred in nine), which also was the last remaining habitat for the largemouth shiner (''Cyprinella bocagrande'') and the dwarf crayfish ''Cambarellus chihuahuae ''Cambarellus'' is a genus of small freshwater crayfish in the family Cambaridae. The 19 species are found in Mexico (subgenus ''Cambarellus'') and the Gulf States of the United States (subgenus ''Pandicambarus''). Among the Mexican species, '' ...''.
