Thomas Alan Stephenson
Thomas Alan Stephenson FRS (19 January 1898 – 3 April 1961) was a British naturalist, and marine biologist, specialising in sea anemones. Education Stephenson was born at Burnham-on-Sea, the son of a minister and amateur botanist. He soon developed an interest in natural history and went to study at University College, Aberystwyth. He began to study the local sea anemones there, but had to abandon his studies because of illness. Despite not completing his degree, he was made a staff member and was later awarded a doctorate for the body of work that he had produced. Career Stephenson held a number of academic posts in Britain, and at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. His final position was that of Professor and Head of the Department of Zoology at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. The National Marine Biological Library at the Marine Biological Association The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (MBA) is a learned society with a ...

Diadumene Leucolena
''Diadumene leucolena'', commonly known as the white anemone or ghost anemone, is a species of sea anemone in the family Diadumenidae. It is an inconspicuous species found in the intertidal and subtidal areas of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the northern Pacific Ocean. ''Diadumene'', " diadem-bearer", referring to the crown of tentacles, is a female form intended to bring to mind the '' Diadumenos'', the renowned Greek sculpture of an athlete crowning himself with the victor's ribbon diadem. Description When fully extended, ''Diadumene leucolena'' has a long and slender column, being up to tall and wide. Both column and tentacles are a translucent pale pink or flesh-colour, the column sometimes having a faint green tinge near the top. The column appears to be smooth but close inspection shows irregularly arranged darker swellings. The tentacles closest to either end of the mouth have yellow bases. Distribution ''D. leucolena'' is found in the North At ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diadumene Lineata
''Diadumene lineata'', the orange-striped green sea anemone, has several morphotypes which have been described multiple times. Description This is a smaller species, measuring approximately 3.5 centimeters in diameter across its tentacles and 3 centimeters in height. Its central column is green-gray to brown color and smooth. The column, which houses the gastro vascular central cavity extends from the mouth to the attached base called the pedal disc. It does not always have vertical stripes, which can be orange or white. There are 50 to 100 slender and tapered tentacles which are able to retract completely into the column. They are commonly transparent and can be gray or light green with white flecks (Christine 2001). Many morphs occur for this species: ''Sagartia lineata'' (Verill, 1869 Hong Kong), ''Diadumene lineata'' (Verill 1870); ''Diaumene luciae'' (Stephenson, 1925); ''Haliplanella luciae'' (Hand, 1955); Properly named ''D. lineata'' (Hand 1989).

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. 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 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. phylogenetic analysis should c ...
