picture info	Eurasia Eurasia (, ) is the largest continental area on Earth, comprising all of Europe and Asia. Primarily in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres, it spans from the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Japanese archipelago and the Russian Far East to the east. The continental landmass is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Africa to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and by Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean to the south. The division between Europe and Asia as two continents is a historical social construct, as many of their borders are over land; thus, in some parts of the world, Eurasia is recognized as the largest of the six, five, or four continents on Earth. In geology, Eurasia is often considered as a single rigid megablock. However, the rigidity of Eurasia is debated based on paleomagnetic data. Eurasia covers around , or around 36.2% of the Earth's total land area. It is also home to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Polymorphidae The thorny-headed worm family Polymorphidae contains endoparasites which as adults feed mainly in fish and aquatic birds. When this taxon was erected by Meyer in 1931, a subfamily Polymorphinae was established in it. As the Polymorphidae as presently understood would then be monotypic, with no basal genera outside the Polymorphinae, the proposed subfamily is redundant for the time being and therefore most modern treatments simply omit it. '' Polymorphus minutus'' is an economically significant parasite in goose and duck farming. Species Polymorphidae contains the following species: ''Andracantha'' Schmidt, 1975 ''Andracantha baylisi'' (Zdzitowiecki, 1986) Zdzitowiecki, 1989 ''Andracantha clavata'' (Goss, 1940) ''Andracantha gravida'' (Alegret, 1941) Schmidt, 1975 ''Andracantha mergi'' Lundström, 1942 ''Andracantha phalacrocoracis'' (Yamaguti, 1939) ''Andracantha tandemtesticulata'' Monteiro, Amato & Amato, 2006 ''Andracantha tunitae'' (Weiss, 1914) ''Ardeirhynchus'' ...
