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.
A pine is any conifer tree or shrub in the genus Pinus of the family Pinaceae. Pinus is the sole genus in the subfamily Pinoideae. World Flora Online, created by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Missouri Botanical Garden, accepts 187 species names of pines as current, together with more synonyms. The American Conifer Society (ACS) and the Royal Horticultural Society accept 121 species. Pines are commonly found in the Northern Hemisphere. Pine may also refer to the lumber derived from pine trees; it is one of the more extensively used types of lumber. The pine family is the largest conifer family and there are currently 818 named cultivars recognized by the ACS.
A booby is a seabird in the genus Sula, part of the family Sulidae. Boobies are closely related to the gannets (Morus), which were formerly included in Sula.
Bassariscus is a genus in the family Procyonidae. There are two extant species in the genus: the ringtail or ring-tailed cat and the cacomistle. Genetic studies have indicated that the closest relatives of Bassariscus are raccoons, from which they diverged about 10 million years ago in the Tortonian Age of the Miocene. The two lineages of Bassariscus are thought to have separated after only another two million years, making it the extant procyonid genus with the earliest diversification. Later diversification in the genus in the Pliocene and Pleistocene saw the emergence of two extinct species, Bassariscus casei and Bassariscus sonoitensis, respectively. Due to the more digitigrade stance of their legs compared to the plantigrade stance of other members of Procyonidae, some taxonomies place the genus as a separate family, Bassaricidae.. The name is a Greek word for fox ("bassaris") with a Latinized diminutive ending ("-iscus"). The genus was named by Elliott Coues in 1887, having previously been described by Lichtenstein in 1830 under the name Bassaris. Coues proposed the word "bassarisk" as the English term for animals in this genus. Its habitat includes semi-arid areas in the southwestern United States, the whole of Mexico, as well as moist tropical forests in Central America.
Pocket gophers, commonly referred to simply as gophers, are burrowing rodents of the family Geomyidae. The roughly 41 species are all endemic to North and Central America. They are commonly known for their extensive tunneling activities and their ability to destroy farms and gardens.
Calathus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. There are at least 190 described species in Calathus.
Limonia acidissima is the only species within the monotypic genus Limonia. Common names for the species in English include wood-apple and elephant-apple. It is sometimes also called monkey fruit.
Anthribidae is a family of beetles also known as fungus weevils. The antennae are not elbowed, may occasionally be longer than the body and thread-like, and can be the longest of any members of Curculionoidea. As in the Nemonychidae, the labrum appears as a separate segment to the clypeus, and the maxillary palps are long and projecting.
The pied butterfly bat, also known as the pied bat or badger bat, is a rare species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae.
Pissodes is a genus of weevils described by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1817.
Clivina heterogena is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Putzeys in 1866.
Clivina vagans is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Putzeys in 1866.
Clivina subfoveiceps is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Kult in 1959.
Rugiluclivina alutacea is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, found in China and Southeast Asia. It was formerly a member of the Clivina genus.
Clivina stigmula is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Jules Putzeys in 1846.
Clivina australasiae is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Boheman in 1858.
Clivina obenbergeri is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Kult in 1951.
Clivina basalis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Chaudoir in 1843.
Clivina lata is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, found in Indomalaya. The species Clivina khasi is now considered to be a taxonomic synonym of Clivina lata.
Semiclivina dentipes is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, found in North America.
