Penaeus
''Penaeus'' is a genus of prawns, including the giant tiger prawn (''P. monodon''), the most important species of farmed crustacean worldwide. The genus has been reorganised following a proposition of Pérez Farfante and Kensley based on morphological differences, in particular the genital characteristics of these animals, although this revision has not been universally accepted. Following the revision, many species formerly in the genus ''Penaeus'' have been reassigned to new genera in the family Penaeidae: ''Farfantepenaeus'', '' Fenneropenaeus'', ''Litopenaeus'' and ''Marsupenaeus''. The following table gives an overview: A few more species that are sometimes given as ''Penaeus'' spp. are actually assigned to the genus ''Melicertus ''Melicertus'' is a genus of "king" prawns, comprising eight species which were previously classified as members of the genus ''Penaeus'': *''Melicertus canaliculatus'' (Olivier, 1811) - witch prawn *''Melicertus hathor'' (Burkenroad, 1959) ...

Rhizophora
''Rhizophora'' is a genus of tropical mangrove trees, sometimes collectively called true mangroves. The most notable species is the red mangrove (''Rhizophora mangle'') but some other species and a few natural hybrids are known. ''Rhizophora'' species generally live in intertidal zones which are inundated daily by the ocean. They exhibit a number of adaptations to this environment, including pneutomatophores that elevate the plants above the water and allow them to respire oxygen even while their lower roots are submerged and a cytological molecular "pump" mechanism that allows them to remove excess salts from their cells. The generic name is derived from the Greek words ριζα (''rhiza''), meaning "root," and φορος (''phoros''), meaning "bearing," referring to the stilt-roots. The beetle '' Poecilips fallax'' is a common pest of these trees, especially '' Rhizophora mucronata'' and ''Rhizophora apiculata''. This beetle (related to carver beetles) lays its eggs in the ...
