Notomegabalanus decorus, the pink barnacle, is a species of acorn barnacle in the family Balanidae. [1]
These subspecies belong to the species Notomegabalanus decorus:
Barnacles are a type of arthropod constituting the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, and are hence related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are exclusively marine, and tend to live in shallow and tidal waters, typically in erosive settings. Around 1,000 barnacle species are currently known.
The barnacle goose is a species of goose that belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the brant goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the cackling goose lineage.
Goose barnacles, also called stalked barnacles or gooseneck barnacles, are filter-feeding crustaceans that live attached to hard surfaces of rocks and flotsam in the ocean intertidal zone. Goose barnacles formerly made up the taxonomic order Pedunculata, but research has resulted in the classification of stalked barnacles within multiple orders of the infraclass Thoracica.
Balanus is a genus of barnacles in the family Balanidae of the subphylum Crustacea.
The Balanidae comprise a family of barnacles of the order Balanomorpha. As a result of research published in 2021 by Chan et al., the members of the family Archaeobalanidae were merged with this family.
The Ballantine scale is a biologically defined scale for measuring the degree of exposure level of wave action on a rocky shore. Devised in 1961 by W. J. Ballantine, then at the zoology department of Queen Mary College, London, the scale is based on the observation that where shoreline species are concerned "Different species growing on rocky shores require different degrees of protection from certain aspects of the physical environment, of which wave action is often the most important." The species present in the littoral zone therefore indicate the degree of the shore's exposure.
Otopharynx decorus is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi. This species can reach a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
The Balanomorpha are an order of barnacles, containing familiar acorn barnacles of the seashore. The order contains these families:
Whale barnacles are species of acorn barnacle that belong to the family Coronulidae. They typically attach to baleen whales, and sometimes settle on toothed whales. The whale barnacles diverged from the turtle barnacles about three million years ago.
Synodontis decorus is a species of upside-down catfish. Common names include clown catfish, clown synodontis, clown syno, clown squeaker, and barredtail squeaker.
Conomurex decorus, common name : the Mauritian Conch, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Notomegabalanus concinnus is a species of barnacle in the family Balanidae. The species is harmless to humans and can be found in New Zealand and Argentina. It was described by Charles Darwin in 1854.
Goniobranchus decorus is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae.
Goniobranchus setoensis is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae.
Habronattus decorus is a species of jumping spider. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Melanoplus decorus, known generally as the decorated short-wing grasshopper or decorated spur-throat grasshopper, is a species of spur-throated grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in North America.
Neocrinus decorus is a species of crinoid in the family Isocrinidae. Neocrinus decorus has been around for 23.03 million years, and lives at depths from 154 to 1219 meters near the Caribbean of Venezuela, living on hard substrate.
Notomegabalanus is a genus of acorn barnacles in the family Balanidae. There are about 12 described species in Notomegabalanus.
Oedaleus decorus is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in the Palearctic.
