Microcotyle Donavini (Microcotylidae) Oncomiracidium (Euzet
''Microcotyle donavini'' is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae. Taxonomy ''Microcotyle donavini'' was described by Van Beneden & Hesse in 1863.Van Beneden, P. J., & Hesse, C. E. (1863). Recherches sur les Bdellodes (Hirudinées) et les trématodes marins: Mémoire présenté à l'Académie Royale de Belgique. Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, 34, 1-150 + Plates. This species was redescribed by Scott (1905) who gave one figure Scott (T.), 1905. — Observations on some parasites new or rare in Scottish waters. 23, rd. Rep. Fish. Bd. Scot. (3) Sci. Invest. p. 108-119 fig. and by Euzet & Marc in 1963, one hundred years later. ''Microcotyle donavini'' is the type-species of the genus ''Microcotyle''. Unnithan (1971) placed ''M. donavini'' in the nominal subgenus ''Microcotyle'' as ''Microcotyle (Microcotyle) donavini''.Unnithan, R. V. (1971). On the functio ...

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can reproduction, produce Fertility, fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
