Icelinus Burchami
''Icelinus''is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northern and eastern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Icelinus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1885 by the American ichthyologist David Starr Jordan with its only and type species being ''Artedius quadriseriatus''. This species had been described in 1880 by the English zoologist William Neale Lockington from San Francisco. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this genus within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Oligocottinae of the family Psychrolutidae. The genus ''Icelinus'' may not be monophyletic as a study found that the 9 eastern Pacific species were in a clade which was a sister taxon to the genera '' Furcina'' and ''Antipodocottus'' while the 2 northwestern Pacific species (''I. japonicus'' and ''I. pietschi'') were found to be so closel ...

David Starr Jordan
David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 – September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913. He was an ichthyologist during his research career. Prior to serving as president of Stanford University, he had served as president of Indiana University from 1884 to 1891. Starr was also a strong supporter of eugenics, and his published views expressed a fear of "race-degeneration" and asserted that cattle and human beings are "governed by the same laws of selection". He was an antimilitarist since he believed that war killed off the best members of the gene pool, and he initially opposed American involvement in World War I. Early life and career Jordan was born in Gainesville, New York, and grew up on a farm in upstate New York. His parents made the unorthodox decision to educate him at a local girls' high school. His middle name, Starr, does not appear in early census records, and was apparently self-selected; he had begun using ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Monophyletic
In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants. Monophyletic groups are typically characterised by shared derived characteristics ( synapomorphies), which distinguish organisms in the clade from other organisms. An equivalent term is holophyly. The word "mono-phyly" means "one-tribe" in Greek. Monophyly is contrasted with paraphyly and polyphyly as shown in the second diagram. A ''paraphyletic group'' consists of all of the descendants of a common ancestor minus one or more monophyletic groups. A '' polyphyletic group'' is characterized by convergent features or habits of scientific interest (for example, night-active primates, fruit trees, aquatic insects). The features by which a polyphyletic group is differentiated from others are not inherited from a common ancestor. These definitions have t ...

Icelinus Filamentosus
The threadfin sculpin (''Icelinus filamentosus'') is a fish, mostly found in the Pacific waters of North America. A large, deep-water sculpin of the family Cottidae, it occurs in the North Pacific Ocean, from Chirikof Island in the western Gulf of Alaska to Point Loma and Cortez Bank, southern California, USA. Found at depths below 122 ft (35 m), and as deep as 2624 ft (800 m), little is known about this reclusive species. Description and life cycle A member of the ''Icelinus'' genus, the threadfin sculpin, like many others in its genus, has a large spine on the top of the preoperculum with antler-like points. They have a single spine and 2 soft rays in the pelvic fin and there are two rows of ctenoid scales along the dorsal fin bases. The body is overall light gray, with splotches of dark brown along the upper flank and head. There are between 9 and 11 dorsal spines, 15-18 dorsal soft rays, 13-15 anal soft rays, and 4 dark saddles across the back. The belly is light gr ...

Charles Henry Gilbert
Charles Henry Gilbert (December 5, 1859 in Rockford, Illinois – April 20, 1928 in Palo Alto, California) was a pioneer ichthyologist and fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. He collected and studied fishes from Central America north to Alaska and described many new species. Later he became an expert on Pacific salmon and was a noted conservationist of the Pacific Northwest. He is considered by many as the intellectual founder of American fisheries biology. He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" (founding faculty) of Stanford University. Early life and education Born in Rockford, Illinois, Gilbert spent his early years in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he came under the influence of his high school teacher, David Starr Jordan (1851‒1931). When Jordan became Professor of Natural History at Butler University in Indianapolis, Gilbert followed and received his B.A. degree in 1879. Jordan moved to Indiana University, ...

Icelinus Borealis
''Icelinus borealis'', or the northern sculpin or comb sculpin, is a species of fish in the family Cottidae. It can be found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean along the western coast of North America.

The specific name ''borealis'' means "northern" and is a reference to the description of this species based on a type locality of Alaska. Description ''Icelinus borealis'' has a very small antler-like uppermost spine on the preoperculum. There are 9 or 10 spines and between 15 and 17 soft rays supporting the dorsal fins, while the anal fin has between 12 and 14 soft rays.

Stlengis
''Stlengis'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean where they are only known from the waters around Japan. Taxonomy ''Stlengis'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1904 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks when they described ''Stlengis osensis'' off Ose Point in Suruga Bay, Japan. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Stlengis'' within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Oligocottinae of the family Psychrolutidae The fish family Psychrolutidae (commonly known as blobfishes, toadfishes, flathead sculpins, tadpole sculpins,) contains over 35 recognized species in 8 genera.

Antipodocottus
''Antipodocottus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the western Pacific Ocean. This is the only genus of Cottids represented in the Southern Hemisphere, although their classification in the Cottidae is not universally accepted. Taxonomy ''Antipodocottus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1952 by the American ichthyologist Rolf Ling Bolin when he described ''Antipodocottus galathea'' from the Tasman Sea off New Zealand. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Alcichthys'' within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae. Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: * ''Antipodocottus elegans'' R.
