Thermosphaeroma Thermophilum
''Thermosphaeroma thermophilum'' is a crustacean in the family Sphaeromatidae. It is commonly known as the Socorro isopod or Socorro sowbug. It was Endemism, endemic to the thermal water of Sedillo Spring, located in Socorro County, New Mexico. Harriet Richardson first described the Socorro isopod in 1897. As of 2006, it resides in Captivity, captive populations at the Socorro Isopod Propagation Facility (SIPF), Albuquerque Biological Park (ABP), the Minnesota Zoo, the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Laboratory in Santa Fe, and by the Department of Biology at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, New Mexico Tech. It was Species reintroduction, reintroduced following a near-extinction incident in 1988. The wild population became extinct when a tree root burst the pipe and cut off water flow to the concrete pools. Description The body size of the Socorro isopod is Sexual dimorphism, sexually dimorphic, varying noticeably depending on gender. Males tend to reach 7. ...

Extinct In The Wild
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as only consisting of living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range. Classification requires exhaustive surveys conducted within the species' known habitat with consideration given to seasonality, time of day, and life cycle.IUCN. (2003). Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red List Criteria at Regional Levels: Version 3.0'' IUCN Species Survival Commission. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, UK. ii + 26 pp. Once a species is classified as EW, the only way for it to be downgraded is through reintroduction. Not all EW species are rare. An example is the ''Brugmansia'' genus, where all seven species are widely cultivated, but none are found in the wild. Ultimately, the purpose of preserving biodiversity is to maintain ecological function to prevent ecological extinction. Examples Examples of specie ...

Sphaeromatidae
Sphaeromatidae is a family of isopods, often encountered on rocky shores and in shelf waters in temperate zones. The family includes almost 100 genera and 619 known marine species (and about 65 in fresh water). Within these genera, there are groups that share distinctive morphologies; further research may reclassify these genus-groups as separate families. Description Many species have a dorsoventrally compressed body shape, often with a vaulted dorsum, and some are strongly flattened (scale-like). Ecology Sphaeromatidae are browsers or detritus feeders. Xynosphaera appear to have incisory mandibles; ''Xynosphaera colemani'' burrows into the tissue of alcyonacean corals. Some genera of Sphaeromatidae associate with sponges, particularly Oxinasphaera. Genera The family contains the following genera: *'' Afrocerceis'' Müller, 1995 *'' Agostodina'' Bruce, 1994 *'' Amphoroidea'' H. Milne-Edwards, 1840 *'' Amphoroidella'' Baker, 1908 *'' Apemosphaera'' Bruce, 1994 *†'' Archaeo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Critically Endangered
An IUCN Red List critically endangered (CR or sometimes CE) species is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. As of December 2023, of the 157,190 species currently on the IUCN Red List, 9,760 of those are listed as critically endangered, with 1,302 being possibly extinct and 67 possibly extinct in the wild. The IUCN Red List provides the public with information regarding the conservation status of animal, fungi, and plant species. It divides various species into seven different categories of conservation that are based on habitat range, population size, habitat, threats, etc. Each category represents a different level of global extinction risk. Species that are considered to be critically endangered are placed within the "Threatened" category. As the IUCN Red List does not consider a species extinct until extensive targeted surveys have been conducted, species that a ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive catalogue and list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as th ...
