''Spicara'' is a genus of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. These fishes are found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The species in the genus are known as picarels. Taxonomy ''Spicara'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1810 by the French naturalist and polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque when he described ''Spicara flexuosa'' as a new species. Rafinesque gave the type locality of ''S. flexuosa'' as Sicily. The genera ''Spicara'' and ''Centracanthus'' were formerly classified within the family Centracanthidae but phylogenetic analyses recovered the family Sparidae as paraphyletic if Spicara was not included within it. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the picarels in the family Sparidae within the order Spariformes by the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World''. Some authorities classify this genus in the subfamily Boopsinae, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise su ...

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque
Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz (; 22 October 178318 September 1840) was a French early 19th-century polymath born near Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire and self-educated in France. He traveled as a young man in the United States, ultimately settling in Ohio in 1815, where he made notable contributions to botany, zoology, and the study of Mound Builders, prehistoric earthworks in North America. He also contributed to the study of ancient Mesoamerican languages, Mesoamerican linguistics, in addition to work he had already completed in Europe. Rafinesque was an eccentric and erratic genius. He was an autodidact, who excelled in various fields of knowledge, as a zoologist, botanist, writer and Polyglot (person), polyglot. He wrote prolifically on such diverse topics as anthropology, biology, geology, and linguistics, but was honored in none of these fields during his lifetime. Indeed, he was an outcast in the American scientific community and his submissions were automati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Order (biology)
Order () is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow consist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spicara Maena
''Spicara maena'', the blotched picarel, is a species of Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. The male grows to a maximum length of about , and the female reaches . This fish is fished commercially in some areas. Taxonomy ''Spicara maena'' was first formally Species description, described as ''Sparus maena'' by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae, 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' published in 1758, with its Type locality (biology), type locality given as the Mediterranean. Genetic studies have confirmed that ''Spicara flexuosa'' is a separate species, not a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''S. maena'' The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Spicara''in the family Sparidae within the Order (biology), order Spariformes by the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World''.

Spicara Flexuosum
''Spicara flexuosum'', is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies. This species is found in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. Taxonomy ''Spicara flexuosum'' was first formally described in 1810 by the French polymath and naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque with its type locality given as Sicily. When he described ''S. flexuosum'' Rafinesque classified it in the new monospecific genus ''Spicara'', so this species is the type species of ''Spicara'' by monotypy. Some authorities have regarded ''S. flexuosa'' as a synonym of ''Spicara maena'' but both ''FishBase'' and ''Catalog of Fishes'' treat it as a valid species. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Spicara''in the family Sparidae within the order Spariformes by the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World''.

George Albert Boulenger
George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Boulenger was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses. Life Boulenger was born in Brussels, Belgium, the only son of Gustave Boulenger, a Belgian public notary, and Juliette Piérart, from Valenciennes. He graduated in 1876 from the Free University of Brussels (1834–1969), Free University of Brussels with a degree in natural sciences, and worked for a while at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, as an assistant naturalist studying amphibians, reptiles, and fishes. He also made frequent visits during this time to the ''National Museum of Natural History (France), Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle'' in Paris and the Natural History Museum, London, British Museum in London.

Spicara Axillare
''Spicara axillare'', the windtoy, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies. This species is found in the Western Indian Ocean and is endemic to South Africa. Taxonomy ''Spicara axillare'' was first formally described as ''Caesio axillaris'' in 1900 by the Belgian-born British ichthyologist George Albert Boulenger with its type locality given as Buffels Bay in False Bay in the Western Cape of South Africa. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Spicara'' in the family Sparidae within the order Spariformes by the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World''. Some authorities classify this genus in the subfamily Boopsinae, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sparidae. Etymology ''Spicara axillare'' has the genus name ''Spicara'', which is a vernacular name for picarels, particularly ''S. flexuosa'' in Italy. This is presumed to derive from ''spica'', †...
