Clio (gastropod)
The genus Clio is a taxonomic group of small floating sea snails, pelagic marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks, the sole genus belonging to the family CliidaeBouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2012). Clio. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137751 on 2012-07-24 All species in this genus are characterised by a bilaterally symmetric, straight or adapically dorso-ventrally slightly curved shell, with an elliptical to triangular transverse section; protoconch separated, globular or elliptical, frequently with a spine at the tip. Subgenera are used for some species (e.g. ''Clio'' s.str., ''Balantium'' Bellardi, 1872, ''Bellardiclio'' Janssen, 2004), but most species still need to be assigned to one of these. Numerous fossil species have been described. Species Recognised extant species are: * '' Clio andreae'' (Boas, 1886) ** Distribution : north Atlantic, bathypelagic species. * '' Clio antarctica'' Dall, 1908 * '' C ...

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to coll ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clio Convexa Convexa
In Greek mythology, Clio ( , ; el, Κλειώ), also spelled Kleio, is the muse of history, or in a few mythological accounts, the muse of lyre playing.

Lewis, Ph.D. and Charles Short, LL.D''. The Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1879, ''s.v.'' but some modern systems such as the American Library Association-Library of Congress system use ''K'' to represent the original Greek ''kappa'', and ''ei'' to represent the diphthong ''ει'' (epsilon iota), thus ''Kleio''.

Cavolinioidea
The superfamily Cavolinioidea is the most speciose group of sea butterflies. They belong to the suborder Euthecosomata. MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Cavolinioidea Gray, 1850 (1815). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=411903 on 2021-03-11 Sea butterflies (thecosomata) are pelagic marine gastropods, so called because they swim by flapping their wing-like parapodia. Distribution These sea butterflies are circumglobal, carried by the sea currents to all the seas of the world. Habitat Cavoliniids prefer deep waters, from 100 m up to 2,000 m. They do best in warm oceanic water. Shell description Species in this superfamily have a calcareous, bilaterally symmetrical conical or globular shell. Identification of juveniles is difficult as the juvenile shells differ greatly from adults. Life habits Towards the anterior end of the animal, two parapodia (winglike flat lobules) protrude between each ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Limacina Helicina
''Limacina helicina'' is a species of small swimming planktonic sea snail in the family Limacinidae, which belong to the group commonly known as sea butterflies (Thecosomata). ''Limacina helicina'' is a keystone species of mesozooplankton in Arctic pelagic ecosystems. The first written record of this species was by Friderich Martens from Spitsbergen in 1675. ''Limacina helicina'' was also observed during a 1773 expedition to the Arctic led by Constantine John Phipps on the ships HMS ''Racehorse'' and on HMS ''Carcass'' and the species was described one year later, in 1774. ''Limacina helicina'' is the type species of the genus ''Limacina''. In contrast to the traditional view, it was shown in 2010 that the distribution of this species is not bipolar; Arctic and Antarctic individuals belong to two genetically distinct species: ''Limacina helicina'' in the Arctic, and '' Limacina antarctica'' in the Antarctic.

Charles Alexandre Lesueur
Charles Alexandre Lesueur (1 January 1778 in Le Havre – 12 December 1846 in Le Havre) was a French naturalist, artist, and explorer. He was a prolific natural-history collector, gathering many type specimens in Australia, Southeast Asia, and North America, and was also responsible for describing numerous species, including the spiny softshell turtle ('' Apalone spinifera''), smooth softshell turtle ('' A. mutica''), and common map turtle ('' Graptemys geographica''). Both Mount Lesueur and Lesueur National Park in Western Australia are named in his honor. Early life Charles Alexandre Lesueur was born on January 1, 1778, to Jean-Baptiste Denis Lesueur and Charlotte Thieullent. Charlotte died when Charles was sixteen years old, and Charles' maternal grandmother took care of him and his siblings. Charles attended the Collège du Havre and possibly the Ecole publique des mathématiques et d'hydrographie. He was in military service in a cadet battalion at age fifteen and ...
