Gigantea (alga)
''Laminaria'' is a genus of brown seaweed in the order Laminariales (kelp), comprising 31 species native to the north Atlantic and northern Pacific Oceans. This economically important genus is characterized by long, leathery laminae and relatively large size. Some species are called Devil's apron, due to their shape, or sea colander, due to the perforations present on the lamina. Others are referred to as ''tangle''. ''Laminaria'' form a habitat for many fish and invertebrates. The life cycle of ''Laminaria'' has heteromorphic alternation of generations which differs from ''Fucus''. At meiosis the male and female zoospores are produced separately, then germinate into male and female gametophytes. The female egg matures in the oogonium until the male sperm fertilizes it. Life-Cycle: The most apparent form of ''Laminaria'' is its sporophyte phase, a structure composed of the holdfast, the stipe, and the blades. While it spends its time predominately in the sporophyte phase, it a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gigantea (flatworm)

This definition, however, is incomplete regarding the anatomical features currently considered in the definition of planarian genera and ''Gigantea'' is certainly a heterogeneous genus. Etymology The name ''Gigantea'' (Latin for "giant") comes from the specific epithet, ''gigantea'', of the type-species, originally described as ''Geoplana gigantea'' due to its large size. Species Currently, there are 14 species assigned to the genus ''Gigantea'': *''Gigantea bistriata'' *''Gigantea cameliae'' *''Gigantea chiriquii'' *''Gigantea gigantea'' *''Gigantea gouvernoni'' *''Gigantea i ...
