Eurytemora
''Eurytemora'' is a genus of copepods in the family Temoridae.Lee, Catherine E., and John D. McPhail. "Directional Selection and Rapid Adaptation in ''Eurytemora affinis''." ''Journal of Evolutionary Biology'', vol. 17, no. 6, 2004, pp. 1270–1277. Directional selection is one type of natural selection where individuals with characteristics at one end of a continuum are favored, hence increasingly shifting the overall mean of that trait within the population. For example, in the copepod Eurytemora affinis, the populations that had invaded freshwater environments experienced directional selection for improved osmoregulatory ability, such that individuals were able to cope better with lowered levels of salinity and therefore survive and reproduce more successfully. Species The World Register of Marine Species lists the following species: *''Eurytemora affinis'' (Poppe, 1880) *''Eurytemora americana'' Williams, 1906 *''Eurytemora arctica'' Wilson M.S. & Tash, 1966 *''Eurytemora asy ...

Temora (crustacean)
''Temora'' is a genus of copepods in the family Temoridae. The World Register of Marine Species lists the following species: *'' Temora discaudata'' Giesbrecht, 1889 *'' Temora kerguelensis'' Wolfenden, 1911 *'' Temora longicornis'' (Müller O.F., 1785) *'' Temora stylifera'' (Dana, 1849) *'' Temora turbinata'' (Dana, 1849) Additionally, ''Temora curta'' (Dana, 1849) is considered a taxon inquirendum. Taxonomy ''Temora'' was originally described by Scottish physician and zoologist William Baird in his 1850 work ''The Natural History of the British Entomostraca.'' The genus was named for the palace of ancient Irish kings in James Macpherson's Ossian cycle of poems, published in the prior century. Baird's description was based on specimens preserved in spirits, as he never collected a living specimen. The type locality was the coast of Ireland. In 1881, Prussian zoologist Wilhelm Giesbrecht proposed dividing the genus into ''Halitemora'' (, Latin for salt, + ''temora'') a ...

Wilhelm Giesbrecht
Wilhelm Giesbrecht (1854–1913) was a Prussian zoologist, specialising in copepods, during the "golden age of copepodology". Giesbrecht was born in Gdańsk in 1854, and was educated in Kiel, where in 1881 he earned a Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D. in Baltic Sea, Baltic copepods under Professor Karl Möbius. He then moved to Naples to work at the Stazione Zoologica, zoological station there, staying there for the remainder of his life. His most famous work is the 1892 monograph Systematik und Faunistik der pelagischen Copepoden des Golfes von Neapel und der angrenzenden Meeres-Abschnitte' ("Systematics and faunistics of the pelagic copepods of the Gulf of Naples and neighbouring seas"). In 1904, at the request of Anton Dohrn, Giesbrecht was made an Honorary title (academic), honorary professor. He is commemorated in a number of species names: *''Prostheceraeus giesbrechtii'' Lang, 1884 *''Buntonia giesbrechti'' (G. W. Müller, 1894) *''Onchocorycaeus giesbrechti'' (F. Dahl, 1894) *' ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Copepod
Copepods (; meaning 'oar-feet') are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat (ecology), habitat. Some species are planktonic (living in the water column), some are benthos, benthic (living on the sediments), several species have Parasitism, parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds, puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses of plants (phytotelmata) such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Copepods are sometimes used as Ecological indicator, biodiversity indicators. As with other crustaceans, copepods have a larval form. For copepods, the egg hatches into a Crustacean larvae#Nauplius, nauplius form, with a head and a tail but no true thorax or abdomen. The larva molts several times until it resembles the a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive catalogue and list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as th ...
