He made pioneering studies of mountain-building, volcanic activity, and the origin and structure of continents and oceans around the world. His zoological author abbreviation is Dana. Early life and career Dana was born February 12, 1813, in Utica, New York. His father was merchant James Dana (1780–1860) and his mother was Harriet Dwight (1792–1870). Through his mother he was related to the Dwight New England family of missionaries and educators including uncle Harrison Gray Otis Dwight and first cousin Henry Otis Dwight. He showed an early interest in science, which had been fostered by Fay Edgerton, a teacher in the Utica high school, and in 1830 he entered Yale College in order to study under Benjamin Silliman the elder. Graduating in 1833, for the next two years he was teacher of mathematics to midshipmen in the Navy, and sailed to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ceratothoa Steindachneri
''Ceratothoa steindachneri'' is an ectoparasite known as a tongue biter. It parasitises fish by attaching to the tongue, causing atrophy. It then replaces the tongue. Description ''C. steindachneri'' has a oval to rounded body and is generally stocky. It is tan or ivory coloured, with considerable sexual dimorphism in this species, with females (15-23 mm) being much larger than males (4.8-5.3 mm). Females are also more rotund, males are more stocky and rectangular. Distribution ''C. steindachneri'' is found in the northern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It was first found in British waters at Whitsand Bay, Cornwall, in 1996 in the lesser weever fish. It has since be found all around the coast of Britain. Host species It is a generalist species that can parasitise a wide range of fish species, including the shortnose greeneye (''Chlorophthalmus agassizi''), lesser weever fish ('' Echiichthys vipera''), red porgy (''Pagrus pagrus''), comber Comber ( , , locally ...

Ceratothoa Oestroides
''Ceratothoa oestroides'' is a crustacean isopod, obligate ectoparasite of marine fish that dwells in the buccal cavity. It is the causative agent of various pathologies including tissue damage at the parasitisation site (tongue), growth defects, decrease in mean host weight and size and increases mortalities in farmed and wild fish populations. It has been recorded in six different fish families: Sparidae (''Boops boops'', ''Diplodus annularis'', '' Pagelus erythrinus'', '' Spicara smaris, Sparus aurata''), Carangidae ('' Trachurus mediterraneus''), Clupeidae ('' Sardina pilchardus''), Maenidae, Scorpenidae ('' Scorpaena notata, Scorpaena porcus''), and Mugilidae ('' Liza aurata''). Adult male and female mate in the host buccal cavity (Fig. 1). Embryos develop in the female marsupium, where offspring pass through different pullus stages until they are released from the marsupium as free swimming manca, ready for infecting fish hosts. ''C. oestroides'' is one of the most d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
