Gustav Henrik Andreas Budde-Lund
Gustav Henrik Andreas Budde-Lund (11 January 1846 – 19 September 1911) was a Danish invertebrate zoologist. In 1868, he co-founded the ''Entomologisk Forening'', alongside Rasmus William Traugott Schlick, Carl August Møller, Andreas Haas and Ivar Frederik Christian Ammitzbøll. He was a student of entomologist J. C. Schiødte, and became a leading authority on terrestrial isopods ( woodlice, pill bugs and relatives), describing over 70 genera and around 500 species. He married in 1875 and in 1885 produced his seminal work ''Crustacea Isopoda terrestria''. The woodlouse genus '' Buddelundiella'' was named in Budde-Lund's honour by Filippo Silvestri Filippo Silvestri (22 June 1873 – 10 June 1949) was an Italian entomologist. He specialised in world Protura, Thysanura, Diplura and Isoptera, but also worked on Hymenoptera, Myriapoda and Italian Diptera. He is also noted for describing an ... in 1897.

Woodlouse
A woodlouse (plural woodlice) is an isopod crustacean from the polyphyleticThe current consensus is that Oniscidea is actually triphyletic suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda. They get their name from often being found in old wood. The first woodlice were marine isopods which are presumed to have colonised land in the Carboniferous, though the oldest known fossils are from the Cretaceous period. They have many common names and although often referred to as terrestrial isopods, some species live semiterrestrially or have recolonised aquatic environments. Woodlice in the families Armadillidae, Armadillidiidae, Eubelidae, Tylidae and some other genera can roll up into a roughly spherical shape (conglobate) as a defensive mechanism; others have partial rolling ability, but most cannot conglobate at all. Woodlice have a basic morphology of a segmented, dorso-ventrally flattened body with seven pairs of jointed legs, specialised appendages for respiration and ...

Porcellio
''Porcellio'' is a genus of woodlice in the family Porcellionidae. These crustaceans are found essentially worldwide. A well-known species is the common rough woodlouse, ''Porcellio scaber''. Most of the hundreds of ''Porcellio'' species were described by 1950, and many were known by the end of the 19th century already. But occasionally, new species have been found even in recent times. Species There are approximately 191 species in the genus ''Porcellio'' : ''Porcellio cyclocephalus'' and ''P. notatus'' are fossil species from Baltic amber The Baltic region is home to the largest known deposit of amber, called Baltic amber or succinite. It was produced sometime during the Eocene epoch, but exactly when is controversial. It has been estimated that these forests created more than 1 .... They are placed in the present genus for lack of a better alternative, but whether this is correct is doubtful as the original descriptions are very brief and hardly diagnostic. Refere ...

Porcellionidae
Porcellionidae is a terrestrial family of the order Isopoda. This family contains 530 species, found on every continent except Antarctica. The ventral plate of the thoracic exoskeleton flare out slightly over the legs. This "flare" is called the ''epimeron''. The uropods, antenna-like structures at the back of the specimen, are flattened out and spearlike, and extend beyond the last exoskeletal plate. Genera The family contains 19 genera, and two further genera ('' Inchanga'' and ''Mahehia'') may be included. *'' Acaeroplastes'' Verhoeff, 1918 *'' Agabiformius'' Verhoeff, 1908 *'' Atlantidium'' Arcangeli, 1936 *'' Brevurus'' Schmalfuss, 1986 *'' Caeroplastes'' Verhoeff, 1918 *'' Congocellio'' Arcangeli, 1950 *'' Dorypoditius'' Verhoeff, 1942 *'' Leptotrichus'' Budde-Lund, 1885 *'' Lucasius'' Kinahan, 1859 *''Mica Micas ( ) are a group of silicate minerals whose outstanding physical characteristic is that individual mica crystals can easily be split into extremely th ...

Endemic Fauna Of Spain
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. ''Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
