Johannes Japetus Smith Steenstrup FRS(For) HFRSE was a Danish zoologist, biologist, and professor.
Desmopteridae is a family of pelagic sea snails or "sea butterflies", marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cymbulioidea.
Carl Gegenbaur was a German anatomist and professor who demonstrated that the field of comparative anatomy offers important evidence supporting of the theory of evolution. As a professor of anatomy at the University of Jena (1855–1873) and at the University of Heidelberg (1873–1903), Carl Gegenbaur was a strong supporter of Charles Darwin's theory of organic evolution, having taught and worked, beginning in 1858, with Ernst Haeckel, eight years his junior.
Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.
Rhizostomeae is an order of jellyfish. Species of this order have neither tentacles nor other structures at the bell's edges. Instead, they have eight highly branched oral arms, along which there are suctorial minimouth orifices. These oral arms become fused as they approach the central part of the jellyfish. The mouth of the animal is also subdivided into minute pores that are linked to coelenteron.
Alauda is a genus of larks found across much of Europe, Asia and in the mountains of north Africa, and one of the species endemic to the islet of Raso in the Cape Verde Islands. Further, at least two additional species are known from the fossil record. The current genus name is from Latin alauda, "lark". Pliny the Elder thought the word was originally of Celtic origin.
The Pelagiidae are a family of jellyfish. Members of the family Pelagiidae have no ring canal, and the marginal tentacles arise from umbrella margin.
Bassanago albescens, the hairy conger, is a conger of the family Congridae.
The Karoo lark should not be confused with the similarly named Karoo long-billed lark.
The dune lark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is endemic to Namibia where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
Solmissus, or dinner plate jellyfish, is a genus of hydrozoans. Its species are unique among cnidarians in that they actively hunt for prey as opposed to passively waiting for plankton to pass by. They are found in the deep waters of Monterey Bay, California. They are most likely to be found in the deep sea, mid water. They grow to be 20 cm (7.9 in) in diameter. These hydrozoans feed on gelatinous zooplankton, including salps and doliolids, ctenophores, jellyfish, and copepods. However, Solmissus may be limited to feeding on soft-bodied prey by the type of nematocysts on their tentacles (Mills).
Eurhamphaeidae is a family of ctenophores.
Cuninidae is a family of hydrozoans in the order Narcomedusae. They have dome-shaped bells and tentacles set above the undulating margin of the bell. Their gastric pouches contain the gonads situated in line with the tentacles, the number of pouches being the same as the number of tentacles. The pouches do not extend below the points of origin of the primary tentacles. Members of some genera have a peripheral canal system and others do not. No radial canals or secondary tentacles are present.
Capitata is a suborder of Hydrozoa, a class of marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Cnidaria.
Rhopalonema is a genus of deep-sea hydrozoans of the family Rhopalonematidae.
Sminthea is a genus of deep-sea hydrozoans of the family of Rhopalonematidae,
Solmissus incisa is a species of deep-sea jellyfish in the family Solmissus. The species is distributed worldwide, but is largely concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico.
Rhizophysa is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Rhizophysidae.
Zanclea is a genus of hydrozoans belonging to the family Zancleidae.
Cydippe is a genus of ctenophores belonging to the order Cydippida, family unassigned.
