The Lurker's Guide To Stomatopods - Mantis Shrimp
A comprehensive guide to mantis shrimps (stomatopods). Includes image galleries, articles on their biology and taxonomy, and howto notes for reef aquarists.
http://www.blueboard.com/mantis/

Extractions: Stomatopods (mantis shrimps) are predatory crustaceans that live in the shallow waters of tropical and subtropical seas. They use specialized raptorial appendages to capture and subdue prey by either "spearing" the animals or "smashing" them with heavily calcified clubs. The force of the strike of a large Californian species approaches that of a 22 caliber bullet, and is capable of breaking double layered safety glass. They are, weight for weight, probably the most formidable animals alive. I have been interested in mantis shrimps since I first read about them in early 1998 , and I hope this site will give you a very good idea why mantis shrimps are one of the most remarkable and fascinating animals on earth.

taxonomy, biology and ecology of rattan. J. Dransfield. John Dransfield is a Senior Principal Scientific Officer and head of palm research at the Herbarium,
http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/x9923e/x9923e06.htm

Extractions: United Kingdom. Gaps in taxonomic knowledge and confusion in nomenclature are challenges to rattan research and development. Rattans are spiny climbing palms which are found in the Old World tropics and subtropics and exploited particularly for their flexible stems. The word "rattan" is derived from the Malay " rotan ", the common name for climbing palms. Rattan is collected mainly from wild populations, although considerable efforts have recently been focused on the provision of raw cane from cultivated sources. Cross-section of rattan stem embraced by leaf sheaths - W. LIESE The most important product of rattan palms is the cane, the solid rattan stem stripped of its leaf sheaths. (N.B. Rattans are always solid, unlike bamboo which is usually hollow.) The canes are either used in whole (round) form, for example, in furniture frames, or split, peeled or cored for matting and basketry. The range of indigenous uses of rattan canes is vast, from bridges to baskets, fish traps to furniture and crossbow strings to yam ties. Other plant parts of some species of rattan are also utilized and contribute to the survival strategies of many forest-based communities. Fruits of many species are eaten. The palm heart (growing point of the stem) is often harvested for food and, in the Lao People's Democratic Republic and northeastern Thailand, two species -

Extractions: editLink('skunkworks/.accounts/200310302242') 2005/09/24 02:02:55.137 GMT-4 By Phil Myers and Liz Ballenger Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Perissodactyla Family: Tapiridae Members of this Family The family Tapiridae contains tapirs. They are placed in one genus, Tapirus , with four species. Three of these species live in South America, ranging from southern Mexico through central America to Venezuela, and south to Paraguay and Brazil. The fourth species, the Malayan tapir, inhabits Burma and Thailand south to Malaya and Sumatra. Tapirs are shy, reclusive rainforest animals that live in nearly any wooded or grassy habitat with a permanent supply of water. They have also been found in dry deciduous forests and mountain forests. Tapirs are about the size of a donkey. Their body is rounded in back and tapering in front well suited for rapid movement through thick underbrush. They also have a very short tail. Tapirs have bristly hairs scattered all over the body, and an inconspicuous mane is present on two of the South American species. All the South American tapirs are uniform dark brown or gray in color, whereas the Malayan tapir is black on its hind legs and the entire front of its body, and creamy white through its midsection. All tapirs have a short, fleshy proboscis formed by the snout and upper lips. This proboscis is more elongated in the South American species. Tapir eyes are small and flush with the side of the head; their ears are oval, erect, and not very mobile.

Extractions: editLink('skunkworks/.accounts/200310302052') 2005/09/24 01:34:00.036 GMT-4 By Phil Myers Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Camelidae Members of this Family There are two groups of living camels. One, found in northern Africa and central Asia, consists of the dromedary (one-humped camel) and bactrian camels (two-humped camel). Dromedaries and most bactrian camels exist today only in domestication. The other group, the South American camelids, includes 2 to 4 species. Llamas and alpacas, sometimes considered to be the same species, may both have been derived from the guanaco through a thousand years or more of domestication. Guanacos and vicugnas still exist in the wild, although wild populations of both are depleted and threatened. Camelids are all large. The South American forms range in weight from 35 kg to almost 100 kg. Old World camels, however, are much larger, weighing 450 to 650 kg. Camelids vary in body shape from slender to stocky, but all have long, gracile necks; a small head; and long, slender legs. The upper lip is deeply and distinctively cleft. Their toes are splayed, and camelids are the only

Extractions: Index to this page Protein Sequences ... Taxonomy: Classifying Life At least 1.7 million species of living organisms have been discovered, and the list grows longer every year (especially of insects in the tropical rain forest). How are they to be classified? Ideally, classification should be based on homology ; that is, shared characteristics that have been inherited from a common ancestor . The more recently two species have shared a common ancestor, Until recent decades, the study of homologies was limited to However, since the birth of molecular biology, homologies can now also be studied at the level of The figure shows the bones in the forelimbs of three mammals: human, whale, and bat (obviously not drawn to the same scale!).

Fox Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Suidae Members of this Family Sus scrofa , from which the domesticated pigs are derived, in a variety of places around the world, including North America, New Zealand and New Guinea. Fossil suids are known from the Oligocene of Europe and Asia and the Miocene of Africa. These medium-sized animals are typically stocky with a barrel-like body. The skin is usually thick and sparsely haired. Head and body length ranges from 500-1900 mm, tail length ranges from 35-40 mm and adult body weight can be as high as 350 kg. The eyes are usually small and located high on the skull, and the ears are small and pointed. The skull is usually long and has a flat dorsal profile. One of the most notable characteristics of suids is the mobile snout, which has a cartilaginous disk at its tip and terminal nostrils. It is supported by a prenasal bone located below the

This membrane allows them to glide long distances (over 100 m) with considerable manueverability. The membrane is covered by brownish or gray pelage with irregular white spots. The fore and hind feet have long, needle-sharp claws, useful for holding onto bark and branches. The skull of a colugo is very distinctive, broad and flat in outline and with a nearly complete postorbital process that sets off the eye sockets. The tympanic bullae are flattened, and the

The forefeet have 5 toes. The soles of their fore- and hindfeet, which are moistened by special sweat glands, are remarkably soft and elastic, which works to increase their friction against the substrate. They have specialized muscles in the soles of the feet that help them to work almost like a suction cup. The feet of hyraxes are mesaxonic, meaning that the plane of symmetry of the foot goes through the third digit. In this they resemble perissodactyls. The skulls of hyraxes have a short rostrum, prominent
