Alphone Guichenot
Antoine Alphonse Guichenot (31 July 1809 in Paris – 17 February 1876 in Cluny) was a French zoology, zoologist who taught, researched, and participated in specimen collecting trips on behalf of the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle'' (Paris), including an extensive biological survey of Algeria. His primary fields of research included fish and reptiles. He is credited with describing the ichthyological genera ''Agonomalus'', ''Neosebastes'' (gurnard scorpionfishes) and ''Glossanodon''. He also described numerous new species, including the New Caledonian Crested Gecko, New Caledonian crested gecko, ''Correlophus ciliatis'' (changed to ''Rhacodactylus ciliatus'' in 1994, but reclassified as ''Correlophus ciliatis'' in 2012). He retired to solely an assistant naturalist position in 1856, and died in 1876 in Cluny, France. Tribute Several fish species commemorate his name, an example being ''Paracanthobrama guichenoti'' Pieter Bleeker, Bleeker, 1864. He is also commemorat ...

Medusafish
Medusafishes are a family, Centrolophidae, of scombriform ray-finned fishes. The family includes about 31 species. They are found in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world. Young '' Icichthys lockingtoni'' specimens are abundant in the coastal waters of the north Pacific, where they are often found in association with jellyfish, which provide them with protection from predators and opportunities to scavenge the remains of the jellyfishes' meals. The oldest known fossil member of the group known from articulated remains is '' Butyrumichthys'' from the earliest Ypresian of the Fur Formation in Denmark. Slightly older fossil otoliths of the species ''"Mupus" sinuosus'' are also known from the Selandian of Denmark. Genera The following genera are classified within the family Centrolophidae: * '' Centrolophus'' Lacépède, 1802 * '' Hyperoglyphe'' Günther, 1859 * '' Icichthys'' Jordan & Gilbert, 1880 * '' Psenopsis'' Gill, 1862 * '' Schedophilus'' Cocco, 1839 * ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Pacific
The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean, or, depending on the definition, to Antarctica in the south, and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east. At in area (as defined with a southern Antarctic border), the Pacific Ocean is the largest division of the World Ocean and the hydrosphere and covers approximately 46% of Earth's water surface and about 32% of the planet's total surface area, larger than its entire land area ().Pacific Ocean .

Atlantic
The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of the world's five oceanic divisions, with an area of about . It covers approximately 17% of Earth's surface and about 24% of its water surface area. During the Age of Discovery, it was known for separating the New World of the Americas (North America and South America) from the Old World of Afro-Eurasia (Africa, Asia, and Europe). Through its separation of Afro-Eurasia from the Americas, the Atlantic Ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations. While the Norse were the first known humans to cross the Atlantic, it was the expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1492 that proved to be the most consequential. Columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the Americas by European powers, most notably Portugal, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. From the 16th to 19th centuries, the Atlantic Ocean was the center of both an eponymou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
