Troglocaris Birsteini
''Troglocaris'' is a genus of freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae. These stygobitic, whitish and eyeless shrimp are found in Southern Europe (Dinaric Alps and West Caucasus). Although locally very common, the small ranges of the individual species make them highly vulnerable to habitat loss, for example by water extraction. Their underground habitat is often extremely stable; for example, the Vipavska jama cave in Slovenia is home to a population of ''T. anophthalmus'', and its water only varies from in the winter to in the summer. In some Dinaric caves, notably Vjetrenica, as many as three species may occur together. These shrimp sometimes fall prey to olm salamanders, but are able to survive injuries if the attack fails. The Dinaric ''Troglocaris'' are the main host of several species of parasitic or epizoic flatworms of the family Scutariellidae (order Temnocephalida). Species ''Troglocaris'' currently contains 15 described species, but there are also a number of und ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Troglocaris Anophthalmus
''Troglocaris anophthalmus'' is a species of freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae. It lives in karstic caves in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy and Slovenia. Although morphologically similar across its range, molecular phylogenetics suggests that there are four or five cryptic lineages with more restricted ranges, although one such lineage does range unusually widely for a troglobite – over . Like other underground-living animals, this shrimp lacks pigment (appearing whitish) and eyes. The carapace length is typically about . It was originally described by Vincenz Kollar as ''Palaemon anophtalmus'' (a misspelling of "''anophthalmus''"), but this name was considered to be a ''nomen nudum'' for a long time. This name is, however, accompanied by a description, and predates Dormitzer's junior synonym The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies ...

Epizoic
An epibiont (from the Ancient Greek meaning "living on top of") is an organism that lives on the surface of another living organism, called the basibiont ("living underneath"). The interaction between the two organisms is called epibiosis. An epibiont is, by definition, harmless to its host. In this sense, the interaction between the two organisms can be considered neutralistic or commensalistic; as opposed to being, for example, parasitic, in which case one organism benefits at the expense of the other, or mutualistic, in which both organisms obtain some explicit benefit from their coexistence. Examples of common epibionts are barnacles, remoras, and algae, many of which live on the surfaces of larger marine organisms such as whales, sharks, sea turtles, and mangrove trees. Although there is no direct effect of the epibiont to the host, there are often indirect effects resulting from this interaction and change in the surface of the host. This has been found to be especially ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
