Areacandona is a genus of ostracods belonging to the family Candonidae. [1]
The following species are recognised in the genus Areacandona: [2]
Genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
Zalophus is a genus of the family Otariidae of the order Carnivora.
Ctenotus is a genus of skinks. The genus belongs to a clade in the Sphenomorphus group which contains such genera as Anomalopus and the close relatives Eulamprus and Gnypetoscincus.
Mirjana Karanović is a Serbian actress, film director and screenwriter. Considered one of the best Serbian and Yugoslavian actresses of all time, she is probably the best known for her performance in her debut film Petria's Wreath, as well as for her frequent collaborations with film directors Emir Kusturica and Jasmila Žbanić. Karanović received international acclaim and a nomination for European Film Award for Best Actress for her role in Žbanić's Grbavica.
Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum.
Epomophorus is a genus of bat in the family Pteropodidae. They have a distribution throughout Africa.
Metacyclops is a genus of copepod crustaceans in the family Cyclopidae, containing 61 species, of which three are listed on the IUCN Red List – M. campestris from Brazil, M. gasparoi from Italy (vulnerable) and M. postojnae from Slovenia (vulnerable).
Nitocrella is a genus of copepod. Although most other genera in the family Ameiridae are marine, species of Nitocrella are almost exclusively found in subterranean fresh water or brackish water. More than 80 species are included in the genus, including two which are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List:
Typhlocypris cavicola is a species of ostracod crustacean in the family Candonidae. It is endemic to Slovenia, where it is only known from Krka Cave.
Typhlocypris trigonella is a species of ostracod crustacean in the family Candonidae. It is endemic to Slovenia, where it is known only from Postojna Cave.
The Cyclopidae are a family of copepods containing more than half of the 1,200 species in the order Cyclopoida in over 70 genera.
Notochelone is an extinct genus of sea turtle, which existed about 100 million years ago. The species was first described by Richard Owen in 1882 as Notochelys costata. It was renamed by Richard Lydekker in 1889. It was the most common marine reptile living in the inlands of the sea around Queensland, Australia. Its holotype was a small turtle, and was about the same size as the modern green turtle, but might have been a juvenile. Analytical studies have indicated that the creatures frequently ate benthic molluscs.
Typhlocypris is a genus of ostracods, which are a small, bivalved crustaceans. It contains the following species:
Cyprididae is "the most diverse group of freshwater ostracods". It contains over 1000 species, which represents 50% of the known species of freshwater ostracods. Around 60% of genera in the family are endemic to a single zoogeographic region. The family contains 16 subfamilies, and is most diverse in the Afrotropical realm, with over 300 species in 45 genera. Many Cyprididae occur in temporary water bodies and have drought-resistant eggs, mixed/parthenogenetic reproduction and ability to swim. These biological attributes pre-adapt them to form successful radiations in these habitats. Bennelongia is an interesting of the family Cyprididae. It may be the last true descendant of the Mesozoic lineage of Cypridea, which was a dominant lineage of ostracod in non-marine waters in the Cretaceous.
Candonidae is a family of ostracods, containing around 25% of all known species of freshwater ostracods. Around 75% of genera in the family are endemic to a single zoogeographic region. It contains more than 500 species, of which more than 300 are endemic to the Palearctic realm.
Candona is a genus of ostracods in the family Candonidae.
Areacandona yuleae is a species of freshwater ostracod crustacean in the family Candonidae. It was originally described in 2007 from specimens collected from the Pilbara region in Western Australia, by Ivana Karanovic.
Candonopsis is a genus of ostracod in the family Candonidae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Neocandona is a genus of ostracods belonging to the family Candonidae.
