Anaspidacea
Anaspidacea is an Order (biology), order of crustaceans, comprising eleven genera in four families. Species in the family Anaspididae, Anaspidesidae vary from being strict stygobite, stygobionts (only living underground) to species living in lakes, streams and moorland pools, and are found only in Tasmania. Koonungidae is found in Tasmania and the south-eastern part of the Australian mainland, where they live in the burrows made by crayfish and in caves. The families Psammaspididae and Stygocarididae are both restricted to caves, but Stygocarididae has a much wider distribution than the other families, with ''Parastygocaris'' having species in New Zealand and South America as well as Australia; two other genera in the family are endemism, endemic to South America, and one, ''Stygocarella'', is endemic to New Zealand.

Eucrenonaspides
''Eucrenonaspides oinotheke'' is a species of crustacean in the family Psammaspididae, Endemism, endemic to Tasmania, the only species described in the genus ''Eucrenonaspides''. ''Eucrenonaspides'' is in the order Anaspidacea. It was described from a Spring (hydrosphere), spring at 9 Payton Place, Devonport, Tasmania in 1980, making it "the first spring-dwelling Syncarida, syncarid recorded from the Australian region". It is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. A further undescribed species is known from south-western Tasmania. Description ''Eucrenonaspides oinotheke'' is a type of crustacean and part of the Anaspidacea order. ''Eucrenonaspides oinotheke'' has its own unique structure that encompasses a head and thorax. These do not have a shieldlike carapace and the first thoracic segment is tightly joined with the head. They also have pairs of maxillipeds, and thoracic limbs associated with the mouth.

Paranaspides
Anaspidesidae is a family of freshwater crustacean that is endemic to Tasmania, Australia. The family contains 3 living genera. This group of crustaceans are considered living fossils. They are commonly and collectively known as the Tasmanian anaspid crustaceans. This family is originally called as Anaspididae. However, genus name ''Anaspis'' was preoccupied by the insect genus, ''Anaspis'' Geoffroy, 1762, and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed to Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga. Anaspiesids have stalked eyes, long antennae and antennules, and a slender body with no carapace. The two species of ''Allanaspides'' and the single species of ''Paranaspides'' are all listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Taxonomy After Höpel ''et al.''

''Anaspides'' is a genus of freshwater crustaceans in the family Anaspidesidae. The genus was first described in 1894 by George Malcolm Thomson.

William Thomas Calman
William Thomas Calman (29 December 1871 – 29 September 1952) was a Scottish zoologist, specialising in the Crustacea. From 1927 to 1936 he was Keeper of Zoology at the British Museum (Natural History) (now the Natural History Museum). Life He was born in Dundee, the son of Thomas Calman, a music teacher, and Agnes Beatts Maclean. He studied at the High School of Dundee. In the scientific societies in Dundee, he met D'Arcy Thompson. He later became Thompson's lab boy, which allowed him to attend lectures at University College, Dundee for free. A. D. Peacock, one of Thompson's successors to the chair of Natural history at Dundee, believed this appointment came about following a letter sent by Calman in 1891 asking Thompson's advice as to applying for a post in Edinburgh. After his graduation with distinction in 1895, he took on a lecturership at the university, where he remained for eight years. When Thompson died, Calman, along with Douglas Young, wrote his obituary noti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Burrow
file:Chipmunk-burrow (exits).jpg, An eastern chipmunk at the entrance of its burrow A burrow is a hole or tunnel excavated into the ground by an animal to construct a space suitable for habitation or temporary refuge, or as a byproduct of Animal locomotion, locomotion. Burrows provide a form of shelter against predation and exposure to the elements, and can be found in nearly every biome and among various biological interactions. Many animal species are known to form burrows. These species range from small amphipods, to very large vertebrate species such as the polar bear. Burrows can be constructed into a wide variety of substrates and can range in complexity from a simple tube a few centimeters long to a complex network of interconnecting tunnels and chambers hundreds or thousands of meters in total length; an example of the latter level of complexity, a well-developed burrow, would be a rabbit Warren (burrow), warren.
