Typhlatya Taina
''Typhlatya'' is a genus of Caridea, shrimp in the family Atyidae. These are small, Stygofauna, stygobitic shrimp found in the West Mediterranean region (France and Spain), Caribbean region (the Antilles, Bahamas and Yucatán Peninsula, Yucatán), Ascension Island and the Galápagos, although the individual species often have very small ranges. Species in this genus are found in salt, brackish and fresh waters, mostly in anchialine habitats and none in the open sea. Taxonomy, species and conservation There are currently 17 recognized species, of which one is listed by the IUCN as critically endangered (marked "CR" below), and six are considered vulnerable species, vulnerable (marked "VU"). Phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus as presently defined is paraphyletic and needs to be redefined, as ''T. galapagensis'' Clade, clusters with the widespread ''Antecaridina'' and ''T. monae'' likely with the Australian ''Stygiocaris''. On a higher level, these three genera, together ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
