Alfredo Borelli
Alfredo Borelli (18 November 1858, in Marseilles – 6 May 1943, in Boves, Piedmont) was a French-born Italian zoologist, who worked mainly in Turin but who, early in his natural history career, conducted field work in South America. Borelli graduated in law from Aix University in 1888 and practised as a lawyer in Marseilles for a while before deciding to follow his interest in the natural sciences, going to his family's home country of Italy and graduating from the University of Turin in 1886. He worked in Munich and Berlin but most of his scientific career was spent at the institute of zoology of the University of Turin, from where he retired in 1930. He worked at the '' Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali di Torino'' from 1900 to 1913. The gecko '' Homonota borellii'', the amphisbaenian '' Amphisbaena borelli'', the millipede ''Urostreptus borellii'' (Silvestri, 1895) and the cichlid ''Apistogramma borellii'' are among the taxa named in honor of Borelli.

Triclad
A planarian is one of the many flatworms of the traditional class Turbellaria. It usually describes free-living flatworms of the order Tricladida (triclads), although this common name is also used for a wide number of free-living platyhelminthes. Planaria are common to many parts of the world, living in both saltwater and freshwater ponds and rivers. Some species are terrestrial and are found under logs, in or on the soil, and on plants in humid areas. The triclads are characterized by triply branched intestine and anteriorly situated ovaries, next to the brain. Today the order Tricladida is split into three suborders, according to their phylogenetic relationships: Maricola, Cavernicola and Continenticola. Formerly, the Tricladida was split according to habitats: Maricola, which is marine; Paludicola which inhabits freshwater; and Terricola, which is land-dwelling. Planaria exhibit an extraordinary ability to regenerate lost body parts. For example, a planarian split lengt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
