Isao Ijima
was a Japanese zoologist known for his studies of sponges (Porifera) — including his circumscription of the genus '' Staurocalyptus'' — leeches (Hirudinea), flatworms (Turbellaria), birds, and fish. Professor of Zoology at Tokyo Imperial University, he is considered the founder of parasitology in Japan and was the first President of the Ornithological Society of Japan. Taxa named in his honour include Ijima's sea snake and Ijima's leaf warbler. Biography Born in Hamamatsu in 1861 into a samurai family of Hamamatsu Domain, at the age of fifteen he entered the in Tokyo, before enrolling as a student in the Science College at the Imperial University, Tokyo in 1878. There he studied under Edward Sylvester Morse and Charles Otis Whitman. In 1879, together with , both having previously received training from and assisted Morse in his exploration of the Ōmori Shell Mounds, Ijima excavated the Okadaira Shell Mound; this is credited with being the first modern archaeological s ...

Triclad
Planarians (triclads) are free-living flatworms of the class Turbellaria, order Tricladida, which includes hundreds of species, found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats.pp 3., "Planarians (the popular name for the group as a whole), or triclad flatworms (the more scientific designation of the same group), are acoelomate bilaterians". Planarians are characterized by a three-branched intestine, including a single anterior and two posterior branches. Their body is populated by adult stem cells called neoblasts, which planarians use for regenerating missing body parts. Many species are able to Regeneration (biology), regenerate any missing organ, which has made planarians a popular model in research of regeneration and stem cell biology. The genome sequences of several species are available, as are tools for molecular biology analysis. The order Tricladida is split into three suborders, according to their phylogenetic relationships: Maricola, Dimarcusidae, Cavernicola ...

Dendrocoelidae
Dendrocoelidae is a family of freshwater tricladida flatworms that has a holarctic distribution. The largest freshwater triclad known belongs to this family, it's up to 40 cm in length and inhabits the Lake Baikal. Description The family Dendrocoelidae is characterized by an unusual arrangement of the muscle layers of the pharynx. While in most planarians the inner musculature of the pharynx is composed of two muscle layers, one circular and one longitudinal, in Dendrocoelidae the circular and longitudinal fibers are intermingled, forming a mixed layer. Dendrocoelidae is the sister group of Kenkiidae. Both families have an anterior adhesive organ, which is considered a synapomorphy of the group. Genera The following genera are recognised in the family Dendrocoelidae: *Genus '' Acromyadenium'' *Genus '' Alaoplana'' *Genus '' Amyadenium'' *Genus '' Anocelis'' *Genus '' Archicotylus'' *Genus '' Armilla'' *Genus ''Atria Atria may refer to: Science *Atrium (heart) ...
