Mycalidae
Mycalidae is a Family (biology), family of marine demosponges. Genera According to the World Register of Marine Species, there are only two Genus, genera in this family. Previously there were about 26, but most of these have been reallocated as sub-genera of the remaining two genera, ''Mycale ''and ''Phlyctaenopora:'' *Genus ''Mycale (genus), Mycale'' Gray, 1867 **subgenus ''Mycale (Aegogropila)'' Gray, 1867 - About 37 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Anomomycale)'' Topsent, 1924 - Monotypic. ***Species ''Mycale (Anomomycale) titubans'' (Schmidt, 1870) **Subgenus ''Mycale (Arenochalina)'' Lendenfeld, 1887 - About 13 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Carmia)'' Gray, 1867 - About 46 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Grapelia)'' Gray, 1867 - About 9 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Mycale)'' Gray, 1867 - About 45 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Naviculina)'' Gray, 1867 - About 11 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Oxymycale)'' Hentschel, 1929 - About 9 species. **Subgenus ''Mycale (Paresperella)'' Dend ...

Poecilosclerida
Poecilosclerida is an order of the demosponge Demosponges or common sponges are sponges of the class Demospongiae (from + ), the most diverse group in the phylum Porifera which include greater than 90% of all extant sponges with nearly 8,800 species A species () is often de ... class. It is the most speciose demosponge order with over 2200 species (World Porifera Database). It contains about 25 recognised families. They are characterised by having chelae microscleres, that is, the minute spicules scattered through the tissues, usually in the 10-60 μm range, have a shovel-like structure on the end. Most of the families are viviparous with parenchymella larvae that are uniformly ciliated. Families As of 2018, the following families are recognized: References Poecilosclerida Taxa described in 1928 {{demosponge-stub ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. 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 taxonomy (biology), 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. Phylogeneti ...

Mycale (Paresperella)
Mycale () also Mykale and Mykali (, ''Mykálē''), called Samsun Dağı and Dilek Dağı (Dilek Peninsula) in modern Turkey, is a mountain on the west coast of central Anatolia in Turkey, north of the mouth of the Maeander and divided from the Greek island of Samos by the 1.6 km wide Mycale Strait. The mountain forms a ridge, terminating in what was known anciently as the Trogilium promontory (Ancient Greek Τρωγίλιον or Τρωγύλιον). There are several beaches on the north shore ranging from sand to pebbles. The south flank is mainly escarpment. In the Late Bronze Age, it may have been known under the Hittite name Arrinnanda. In classical Greece nearly the entire ridge was a promontory enclosed by the Aegean Sea. Geopolitically it was part of Ionia with Priene placed on the coast on the south flank of the mountain and Miletus on the coast opposite to the south across the deep embayment into which the Maeander River drained. Somewhat further north was Ephesus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
