Myrmeparmena sudrei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Myrmeparmena. It was described by Vives in 2012. [1]
Genus/ˈdʒiː.nəs/ 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.
Biodiversity is the biological variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richer in the tropics. These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than ten percent of earth's surface, and contain about ninety percent of the world's species. Marine biodiversity is usually higher along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest, and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans. There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity. Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots, and has been increasing through time, but will be likely to slow in the future as a primary result of deforestation. It encompasses the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.
Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" after a period of apparent absence.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. It uses a set of precise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List is recognized as the most authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.
The Hexanchiformes are the order consisting of the most primitive types of sharks, and numbering just seven extant species. Fossil sharks that were apparently very similar to modern sevengill species are known from Jurassic specimens.
Endemism is the state of a species being found in to a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be endemic to that particular part of the world.
Copelatus is a large genus of small diving beetles. There are some 470 described species in the genus, found worldwide, but they are most diverse in tropical South America, Africa and South-East Asia.
Quercypsitta is a genus of prehistoric bird from the Late Eocene Quercy phosphorites in France.
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined.
Peratherium is a genus of metatherian mammals in the family Herpetotheriidae that lived in Europe and Africa from the Early Eocene to the Early Miocene. Species include the following:
Duerotherium is an extinct genus of anoplotheriine artiodactyl which existed in Iberian Peninsula during the middle Eocene. It was first named by Miguel-Ángel Cuesta and Ainara Badiola in 2009 and the type species is Duerotherium sudrei.
Copelatus sudrei is a species of diving beetle. It is part of the subfamily Copelatinae in the family Dytiscidae. It was described by Bameul in 2003.
Oxylymma is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Oxylymma sudrei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Penaherrera-Leiva and Tavakilian in 2003.
Parmenini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Orthacodontidae is an extinct family of sharks in the order Synechodontiformes. It contains twelve species within three genera. Some authors included it into Hexanchiformes or Lamniformes.
The Quercy Phosphorites Formation is a geologic formation and Lagerstätte in Occitanie, southern France. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period, or MP16 to MP28 zones of the European land mammal age classification, ranging from approximately 38 to 25 Ma.
The Amphilemuridae are a family of extinct mammals belonging to the order Eulipotyphla, from the Eocene of Europe and North America.
Atlantitrygon is an extinct genus of marine river stingray from the Paleogene period. It currently contains two species known only from isolated teeth. A. sudrei is known from the Thanetian-aged Gorgol formation of Niger and deposits of similar age in Togo and Senegal. It was originally ascribed to the genus Dasyatis. A. senegalensis is found in the lower Lutetian Matam formation of Senegal and possibly the Ypresian sites of Tamaguilet, Mali and Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. It appears to be part of the River ray family and has been tentatively placed alongside the two extant marine species in the subfamily Styracurinae. However, this placement is uncertain.
