Sladenia (fish)
''Sladenia'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Lophiidae, which includes the goosefishes, monkfishes and anglers. These are deepwater anglers found in theIndian Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Sladenia'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1908 by the English ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan when he described the new species ''Sladenia gardineri''. ''S. gardineri'' had a type locality of Salomon Atoll in the Chagos Archipelago of the Indian Ocean. The genus ''Sladenia'' is one of 4 extant genera in the family Lophiidae which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies in the monotypic suborder Lophioidei with the order Lophiiformes. Within the Lophiidae, ''Sladenia'' is regarded as the most basal taxon and is the sister group to the other three genera, with ''Lophiodes'' being sister group to the clade including ''Lophiomus'' and ''Lophius''. Etymology ''Sladenia'' was named for Percy Sladen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Tate Regan
Charles Tate Regan (1 February 1878 – 12 January 1943) was a British ichthyology, ichthyologist, working mainly around the beginning of the 20th century. He did extensive work on fish classification schemes. Born in Sherborne, Dorset, he was educated at Derby School and Queens' College, Cambridge and in 1901 joined the staff of the Natural History Museum, London, Natural History Museum, where he became Keeper of Zoology, and later director of the entire museum, in which role he served from 1927 to 1938. Regan was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1917. Regan mentored a number of scientists, among them Ethelwynn Trewavas, who continued his work at the British Natural History Museum. Taxon described by him *See :Taxa named by Charles Tate Regan Among the species he described is the Siamese fighting fish (''Betta splendens''). In turn, a number of fish species have been named ''regani'' in his honour: Taxon named in his honor *A Thorny Catfish ''Anadoras regani'' (Stein ...

Clade
In biology, a clade (), also known as a Monophyly, monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that is composed of a common ancestor and all of its descendants. Clades are the fundamental unit of cladistics, a modern approach to taxonomy adopted by most biological fields. The common ancestor may be an individual, a population, or a species (extinct or Extant taxon, extant). Clades are nested, one in another, as each branch in turn splits into smaller branches. These splits reflect evolutionary history as populations diverged and evolved independently. Clades are termed ''monophyletic'' (Greek: "one clan") groups. Over the last few decades, the cladistic approach has revolutionized biological classification and revealed surprising evolutionary relationships among organisms. Increasingly, taxonomists try to avoid naming Taxon, taxa that are not clades; that is, taxa that are not Monophyly, monophyletic. Some of the relationships between organisms that the molecul ...
