Alticus Arnoldorum
The Pacific leaping blenny (''Alticus arnoldorum''), also known as the leaping rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny (family Blenniidae) in the genus '' Alticus''.

Salarinae
Salarinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water. Classification The Salarinae was formerly divided into at least two tribes, the Parablenniini and the Salariini, largely based on their dentition. However, the differences between these two tribes were not consistent and that many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes, subject to further study, and that Parablenniini and Salarinae were synonyms. The following genera are classifies as belonging to the Salarinae: * '' Aidablennius'' Whitley, 1947 * '' Alloblennius'' Smith-Vaniz & Springer, 1971 * ''Alticus'' Lacepède, 1800 * ''Andamia'' Blyth, 1858 * '' Antennablennius'' Fowler, 1931 * ' ...

Johann Reinhold Forster
Johann Reinhold Forster (22 October 1729 – 9 December 1798) was a German Reformed (Calvinist) pastor and naturalist of partially Scottish descent who made contributions to the early ornithology of Europe and North America. He is best known as the naturalist on James Cook's second Pacific voyage, where he was accompanied by his son Georg Forster. These expeditions promoted the career of Johann Reinhold Forster and the findings became the bedrock of colonial professionalism and helped set the stage for the future development of anthropology and ethnology. They also laid the framework for general concern about the impact that alteration of the physical environment for European economic expansion would have on exotic societies. Biography Forster's family originated in the Lords Forrester in Scotland from where his great-grandfather had emigrated after losing most of his property during the rule of Oliver Cromwell along with many other Scots. Forster himself was born in the c ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
