Urechis Unicinctus
''Urechis unicinctus'', known as the fat innkeeper worm or penis fish, is a species of Echiura, marine spoon worm in East Asia. It is found in Bohai Gulf of China and off the Korean and Hokkaido coasts. It is not to be confused with a closely related species, ''Urechis caupo'', which occurs on the western coast of North America and shares common names. The body is about long, cylindrical in shape and yellowish-brown in color. On the surface of the body there are many small papillae. Ecology This spoonworm is a detritivore, feeding on detritus and lives and burrows in sand and mud like other ''Urechis'' species. It creates a U-shaped burrow in the soft sediment of the seabed. A ring of glands at the front of the proboscis secrete mucus which sticks to the burrow wall. The worm continues to exude mucus as it moves backwards in the burrow thus creating a mucus net. The worm draws water through its burrow by Peristalsis, peristaltic contractions of its body and food particles adher ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Echiura
The Echiura, or spoon worms, are a small group of ocean, marine animals. Once treated as a separate phylum, they are now considered to belong to Annelida. Annelids typically have their bodies divided into Segmentation (biology), segments, but echiurans have secondarily lost their segmentation. The majority of echiurans live in burrows in soft sediment in shallow water, but some live in rock crevices or under boulders, and there are also deep sea forms. More than 230 species have been described. Spoon worms are cylindrical, soft-bodied animals usually possessing a non-retractable proboscis which can be rolled into a scoop-shape to feed. In some species the proboscis is ribbon-like, longer than the trunk and may have a forked tip. Spoon worms vary in size from less than a centimetre in length to more than a metre. Most are deposit feeders, collecting detritus from the sea floor. Fossils of these worms are seldom found and the earliest known fossil specimen is from the Darriwilian, ...

Urechis Caupo
''Urechis caupo'' is a species of Echiura, spoon worm in the family Urechidae, commonly known as the innkeeper echiuran, the fat innkeeper worm (because their tunnels often contain other animals), the innkeeper worm, or the penis fish. It is found in shallow water on the west coast of North America, between southern Oregon and Baja California, where it forms a U-shaped burrow in the sediment and feeds on plankton using a mucus net. Description ''Urechis caupo'' is a plump, unsegmented, cylindrical pink worm growing to a length of up to 7 inches, with 5.5 inches being a more typical length. There are a pair of setae (bristles) on the ventral surface at the anterior end, and a distinctive ring of about ten setae around the anus at the posterior end. The proboscis is short. Distribution and habitat Shallow water in the northeastern Pacific Ocean is the habitat of ''U. caupo''; its range extends from southern Oregon to northern Baja California. It lives in a burrow in muddy sand in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Urechis Novaezealandiae
''Urechis novaezealandiae'' is a species of Urechidae endemic to New Zealand. It is commonly known as a "spoon worm".

Charles Carmichael Arthur Monro
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (James (< Latin ''-us'', see Spanish/ Portuguese ''Carlos''). According to Julius Pokorny, the historical linguist and Indo-European studies, Indo-Europeanist, the root meaning of Charles is "old man", from Proto-Indo-European language, Indo-European *wikt:Appendix:Proto-Indo-Eu ...

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 ...

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 ...

Walter Kenrick Fisher (February 1, 1878 – November 2, 1953) was an American Zoology, zoologist, Evolutionary biology, evolutionary biologist, illustrator, and painter. He taught in Stanford University before eventually becoming Emeritus Professor in Zoology until his retirement in 1943. Fisher was the son of Ornithology, ornithologist Albert Kenrick Fisher. Early life Walter K. Fisher was born on February 1, 1878, in Ossining, New York (town), Ossining, New York. His father was Albert Kenrick Fisher and his mother was Alwilda Fisher (''née'' Merritt). As a boy, Fisher explored the countryside around his home in the Hudson Valley, and as he grew older, he conducted similar explorations around Washington, D. C., following his family's relocation to the capital. During these ventures, he collected birds and plants, and he sketched the skulls he collected and the landscapes he encountered. Fisher demonstrated talent as an artist and initially considered pursuing his artistic inclina ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
