Mysis Litoralis
''Mysis'' is a genus of mysid crustaceans in the family Mysidae, distributed mainly in the coastal zone of the Arctic and high boreal seas. Several species also inhabit northern freshwater lakes and the brackish Caspian Sea. Fifteen species are recognized. Body lengths range from . The freshwater taxa of the genus have been referred to as "glacial relicts", and they comprise four closely related species, most of which also live in brackish water. '' Mysis relicta'' is a freshwater species from boreal lakes of Northern Europe, also present in the Baltic Sea. ''Mysis salemaai'' is another North European and Baltic Sea taxon. ''Mysis segerstralei'' is a fresh- and brackish-water species of the Eurasian and North American Arctic and sub-Arctic. The North American lakes, including the Great Lakes, are inhabited by '' Mysis diluviana''. Various species of Mysis are found in lakes of the South Swedish highlands, like Lake Sommen, that were never connected to the sea or the Baltic I ...

Sommen
Sommen () is a lake in the South Swedish highlands lying across the border of the Provinces of Sweden, provinces of Östergötland and Småland. Situated about 147 metres above mean sea level, the lake has an area of and has a maximum depth of 60 metres. The lake is shared between the administrative Municipal council, kommunes of Ydre, Kinda Municipality, Kinda, Boxholm and Tranås and the area around it is sparsely populated. The lake has very clear water, with a visibility of 8 to 10 metres deep, if conditions are good. This makes Sommen one of the greatest clear-water lakes in Sweden. According to tradition Sommen has 365 islands, one for each day of the year. The actual number is around 260. In and around the lake various rare species are protected in a series of nature reserves, Bird reserve, bird sanctuaries and areas closed for fishing. Måltorpet Granbo in Sommen is a Natura 2000 area. The visitor centre and natural history museum, Naturum Sommen, lies at the northern en ...

Olive Tattersall
Olive S. Tattersall (1890 – 1978) was an English carcinologist focusing especially on the Mysidacea family of crustaceans. After holding medical positions in both World Wars, she began making scientific publications in her sixties. Early life She was born Olive Selden Attride on 21 May 1890 at Crowthorne, Berkshire, the youngest child of iron founder William Henry Attride. She studied science at Reading University College from 1907 to 1911, gaining her BSc as an external student at London University, as Reading was yet to gain full university status. She then obtained the Cambridge Teaching Diploma and taught science at Maidenhead Girls' School from 1912 to 1914. During World War I, she served as a nurse at a military hospital in Salford, Lancashire from 1916 to 1916. She then worked as an engineer’s draughtsman at a munition works after her marriage to Walter Medley Tattersall, an employee of Manchester University Museum who was then serving with the Royal Garrison Artil ...

Telson
The telson () is the hindmost division of the body of an arthropod. Depending on the definition, the telson is either considered to be the final segment (biology), segment of the arthropod body, or an additional division that is not a true segment on account of not arising in the embryo from teloblast areas as other segments. It never carries any appendages, but a forked "tail" called the caudal furca may be present. The shape and composition of the telson differs between arthropod groups. Crustaceans In lobsters, Caridea, shrimp and other Decapoda, decapods, the telson, along with the uropods, forms the tail fan. This is used as a paddle in the caridoid escape reaction ("lobstering"), whereby an alarmed animal rapidly flexes its tail, causing it to dart backwards. Krill can reach speeds of over 60 cm per second by this means. The Induction period, trigger time to optical stimulus (physiology), stimulus is, in spite of the low temperatures, only 55 milliseconds. In th ...

Carapace
A carapace is a dorsal (upper) section of the exoskeleton or shell in a number of animal groups, including arthropods, such as crustaceans and arachnids, as well as vertebrates, such as turtles and tortoises. In turtles and tortoises, the underside is called the plastron. In botany, a carapace refers to the hard outer cover of a seed which protects the inner embryo. Crustaceans In crustaceans, the carapace functions as a protective cover over the cephalothorax (i.e., the fused head and thorax, as distinct from the abdomen behind). Where it projects forward beyond the eyes, this projection is called a rostrum. The carapace is calcified to varying degrees in different crustaceans. Zooplankton within the phylum Crustacea also have a carapace. These include Cladocera, ostracods, and isopods, but isopods only have a developed "cephalic shield" carapace covering the head. Arachnids In arachnids, the carapace is formed by the fusion of prosomal tergites into a single pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cladistics (journal)
''Cladistics'' is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal which has published research in cladistics since 1985. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Willi Hennig Society. ''Cladistics'' publishes papers relevant to evolution, systematics, and integrative biology. Papers of both a conceptual or philosophical nature, discussions of methodology, empirical studies on taxonomic groups from animals to bacteria, and applications of systematics in disciplines such as genomics, paleontology and biomedical epidemiology are accepted. Five types of paper appear in the journal: reviews, regular papers, forum papers, letters to the editor, and book reviews. Its editor-in-chief is Rudolf Meier, who replaced Dennis Stevenson in 2019. According to the ''Journal Citation Reports'', the journal has a 2023 impact factor The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a type of journal ranking. Journals with higher impact factor values are con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
