Samuel Garman
Samuel Walton Garman (June 5, 1843 – September 30, 1927), or "Garmann" as he sometimes styled himself, was an American naturalist and zoologist. He became noted as an ichthyologist and herpetologist. Biography Garman was born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on 5 June 1843. In 1868 he joined an expedition to the American West with John Wesley Powell. He graduated from the Illinois State Normal University in 1870, and for the following year was principal of the Mississippi State Normal School. In 1871, he became professor of natural sciences in Ferry Hall Seminary, Lake Forest, Illinois, and a year later became a special pupil of Louis Agassiz. He was a friend and regular correspondent of the naturalist Edward Drinker Cope, and in 1872 accompanied him on a fossil hunting trip to Wyoming. In 1870 he became assistant director of herpetology and ichthyology at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. His work was mostly in the classification of fish, especially sharks, but ...

Pseudobatos
''Pseudobatos'' is a genus of fish in the Rhinobatidae family. Although its constituent species were previously assigned to ''Rhinobatos'', recent authors treat it as distinct. They are found in warmer coastal parts of the Americas, ranging from northern Chile to California (USA) on the Pacific side, and from northeastern Argentina to North Carolina (USA) on the Atlantic side. They are brownish or grayish above, and reach up to depending on the exact species. Species There are nine currently recognized species in this genus: * ''Pseudobatos buthi'' K.M. Rutledge, 2019 (spadenose guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos glaucostigmus'' (David Starr Jordan, D. S. Jordan & Charles Henry Gilbert, C. H. Gilbert, 1883) (speckled guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos horkelii'' (Johannes Peter Müller, J. P. Müller & Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle, Henle, 1841) (Brazilian guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos lentiginosus'' (Samuel Garman, Garman, 1880) (Atlantic guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos leucorhynchus'' (Albert Gü ...

Fish Of The Pacific Ocean
A fish (: fish or fishes) is an aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fins and a hard skull, but lacking limbs with digits. Fish can be grouped into the more basal jawless fish and the more common jawed fish, the latter including all living cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as the extinct placoderms and acanthodians. In a break to the long tradition of grouping all fish into a single class (Pisces), modern phylogenetics views fish as a paraphyletic group. Most fish are cold-blooded, their body temperature varying with the surrounding water, though some large active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature. Many fish can communicate acoustically with each other, such as during courtship displays. The study of fish is known as ichthyology. The earliest fish appeared during the Cambrian as small filter feeders; they continued to evolve through the Paleozoic, diversifying into many forms. The earliest fi ...

Taxa Named By Samuel Garman
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
