Symbolophorus
''Symbolophorus'' is a genus of lanternfishes. It feeds on various small forms of sea life, in particular fish. Some species in this genus are known to exhibit the Stylophthalmine trait in their larval form Species There are currently eight recognized species in this genus: * ''Symbolophorus barnardi'' ( Tåning, 1932) (Barnard's lanternfish) * ''Symbolophorus boops'' ( J. Richardson, 1845) (Bogue lanternfish) * ''Symbolophorus californiensis'' ( C. H. Eigenmann & R. S. Eigenmann, 1889) (Bigfin lanternfish) * '' Symbolophorus evermanni'' ( C. H. Gilbert, 1905) (Evermann's lanternfish) * ''Symbolophorus kreffti'' Hulley, 1981 * ''Symbolophorus reversus'' Gago & Ricord, 2005 (Reverse gland lanternfish) * ''Symbolophorus rufinus'' ( Tåning, 1928) * ''Symbolophorus veranyi ''Symbolophorus veranyi'' is a species of fish in the family Myctophidae.

Symbolophorus Evermanni
''Symbolophorus evermanni'' is a species of fish in the family Myctophidae. It is widely distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Specific name (zoology), specific name ''evermanni'' honors ichthyologist Barton Warren Evermann. It is also known as Evermann's lanternfish or Evermann's lantern fish. ''Symbolophorus evermanni'' grows to Fish measurement, standard length. Parasites of ''Symbolophorus evermanni'' include the copepod ''Peniculus hokutoae''.

Symbolophorus Barnardi
''Symbolophorus barnardi'' is a lanternfish in the family Myctophidae, found circumglobally in the southern hemisphere between about 30° S and 11° S at depths of between 100 and 800 m. Its length is about 12 cm. It inhabits the deeper waters during the day, and migrates at night to the epipelagic zone.

Lanternfish
Lanternfishes (or myctophids, from the Greek μυκτήρ ''myktḗr'', "nose" and ''ophis'', "serpent") are small mesopelagic fish of the large family Myctophidae. One of two families in the order Myctophiformes, the Myctophidae are represented by 246 species in 33 genera, and are found in oceans worldwide. Lanternfishes are aptly named after their conspicuous use of bioluminescence. Their sister family, the Neoscopelidae, are much fewer in number but superficially very similar; at least one neoscopelid shares the common name "lanternfish": the large-scaled lantern fish, ''Neoscopelus macrolepidotus''. Lanternfish are among the most widely distributed, diverse and populous vertebrates, with some estimates suggesting that they may have a total global biomass of 1.8 to 16 gigatonnes, accounting for up to 65% of all deep-sea fish biomass. Commercial fisheries for them exist off South Africa, in the sub-Antarctic, and in the Gulf of Oman. Description Lanternfish typically hav ...

Stylophthalmine Trait
The Stylophthalmine trait is an adaptation present in the larvae of several different species of actinopterygian fish. It is characterised by the development of elliptically shaped eyes, which are situated at the apex of long periscopic stalks extending from the larva's head. Stylophthalmine can be used as a general term to describe such larvae.King, D. (2014), "Looking through the deep - The Stylophthalmines and their amazing eyestalks", Life Nature Magazine, Jun 14, pp.18-19. The trait has developed as a result of convergent evolution at least 4 times in different groups of fish; twice in the family Myctophidae (in species of '' Myctophum'' and '' Symbolophorus''), and also in the families Stomiidae (genus '' Idiacanthus''), and Bathylagidae (''Bathylagus''). The work of Weihhs and Moser (1981) showed that the eye's elliptical shape allows a stylophthalmine to dramatically enlarge its field of view The field of view (FoV) is the extent of the observable world that is ...

Miocene
The Miocene ( ) is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma). The Miocene was named by Scottish geologist Charles Lyell; the name comes from the Greek words (', "less") and (', "new") and means "less recent" because it has 18% fewer modern marine invertebrates than the Pliocene has. The Miocene is preceded by the Oligocene and is followed by the Pliocene. As Earth went from the Oligocene through the Miocene and into the Pliocene, the climate slowly cooled towards a series of ice ages. The Miocene boundaries are not marked by a single distinct global event but consist rather of regionally defined boundaries between the warmer Oligocene and the cooler Pliocene Epoch. During the Early Miocene, the Arabian Peninsula collided with Eurasia, severing the connection between the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, and allowing a faunal interchange to occur between Eurasia and Africa, including the dispersal of proboscideans into Eurasia. During the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
