bettonolithus is a genus of trilobites of the order asaphida .

it is in the family trinucleidae .

fossil specimens have been found in the lower ordovician rocks of gilwern hill in powys , wales .

anatomical evidence suggests this trilobite sifted organic matter on the seabed .

squalius is a genus of fish in the family cyprinidae found in europe and asia .

hybridization is not rare in the cyprinidae , including this genus .

s. alburnoides is known to be of ancient hybrid origin , with the paternal lineage deriving from a prehistoric species related to anaecypris ; the latter mated with ancestral s. pyrenaicus .

present-day s. alburnoides mates with sympatric congeners of other species .

squalius

squalius <EOT> evolutionary and biogeographical patterns within iberian populations of the genus squalius inferred from molecular data .

the group is thought to have arisen from hybridisation between females of one species , squalius pyrenaicus , and males of another species , now extinct , that belonged to a group of fish called anaecypris . to sustain its population , squalius alburnoides mates with several other closely related species belonging to the squalius lineage .

evolutionary and biogeographical patterns within iberian populations of the genus squalius inferred from molecular data . - pubmed - ncbi

recent change of genus from leuciscus to squalius ( zardoya and doadrio 1999 , sanjur et al . 2003 ) .

squalius alburnoides males circumvent this problem by producing sperm cells that do not divide and therefore contain more than one chromosome set . this is important because most animals , squalius alburnoides included , need at least two chromosome sets to survive .

mr . morgado - santos’ group found this instance of androgenesis by accident , while studying the mating patterns of squalius alburnoides . the researchers put male and female squalius alburnoides with males and females of another squalius species in an artificial pond , let the fish reproduce and then genetically analysed 100 randomly selected offspring . one of these offspring had only paternal chromosomes .

multi - locus species tree of the chub genus squalius ( leuciscinae : cyprinidae ) from western iberia : new insights into its evolutionary history . - pubmed - ncbi

the possibility of androgenesis is just one of many mysteries about squalius alburnoides . it’s not a species in the usual sense but rather something called a hybrid complex , a group of organisms with multiple parental combinations that can mate with one another .

europe : ebro to port bou drainages in spain ; tech and agly drainages in france ( ref . 75108 ) , possibly also aude ( languedoc - roussillon ) ; possible introgression with squalius cephalus in southern garonne tributaries and adour drainage ( ref . 59043 ) .

mostly , animals have sex cells containing only one chromosome set , which means the egg and sperm are both required for reproduction . but in squalius alburnoides , sperm with multiple chromosome sets can provide all the nuclear genetic material needed for a viable offspring — paving the way for androgenesis .

although he acknowledges 1 in 100 fish is a rare occurrence , mr . morgado - santos thinks this instance of androgenesis could represent a “snapshot” of a population moving toward becoming its own species . put another way , androgenesis may help this fish become independent from the other squalius species it relies on to reproduce .

the details in squalius alburnoides are still unknown but in general androgenesis is thought to occur in a couple of ways , said miguel morgado - santos , a graduate student at the university of lisbon and an author of the study : sperm could fertilize an egg that contains no chromosomes , or it could destroy the genetic content from the nucleus of the egg after fertilisation .

scientists have discovered a fish carrying genes only from its father in the nucleus of its cells . found in a type of fish called squalius alburnoides , which normally inhabits rivers in portugal or spain , this is the first documented instance in vertebrates of a father producing a near clone of itself through sexual reproduction — a rare phenomenon called androgenesis , the researchers reported in the journal royal society open science .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .

north , baltic , northern black , white , barents and caspian sea basins , atlantic basin southward to adour drainage ( france ) , great britain north to 56°n , scandinavia : southern finland , sweden north to about stockholm . mediterranean basin from var to hérault ( possibly aude ) ( france ) drainages . introduced elsewhere . naturally absent from italy and adriatic basin .

to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .

justification : only known from the maritza drainage ( extent of occurrence estimated at around 53 , 000 km² ) where the population is reasonably safe as there is a number of populations , however some of these are threatened by water abstraction in dry season .

habitat : streams to rivers , stretches with moderate current . biology : omnivorous ; feeds mainly on insects and aquatic invertebrates . spawns in april - june in shallow areas with gravel bottom .

that it can reproduce at all is unusual enough . most hybrids , like mules , are sterile because the chromosomes from their parents of different species have trouble combining , swapping dna and dividing — steps required for egg or sperm production .

“we weren’t expecting to find that , ” mr . morgado - santos said , adding that at first he and his collaborators thought they had made a mistake .

if androgenesis turns out to be a regular feature in this population , mr . morgado - santos’ group might be catching the “very early stages” of a new reproductive mode for the fish , which would be exciting , said tanja schwander , a professor of ecology and evolution at the university of lausanne in switzerland who did not participate in this research .

but for now , she added , the researchers cannot rule out the possibility that this one instance is a random exception ( perhaps the fish’s mother accidentally produced an egg that contained no chromosomes , for instance ) .

accident or not , it happened and shows that reproduction can vary in all sorts of “weird and wonderful” ways across the natural world , said benjamin oldroyd , a professor of genetics at the university of sydney who was not involved in this study .

“it may not add up to a hill of beans other than realising that the world is much more complicated than we assume , ” he said . “but it’s part of what life is , as a curious human , to understand these things . ”

mrakovcic , m . & freyhof , j . ( mediterranean workshop , dec . 2004 )

justification : l . microlepis is restricted to three locations in the neretva river basin . one small population is in a karstic stream in livanjsko polje and the main population is in two lakes , buska and mandecko lakes near livno . the area of occupancy ( aoo ) is estimated to be around 10 km² , and there is continuing decline in aoo and quality of habitat due to habitat destruction , pollution and water extraction .

it is restricted to the neretva river basin in croatia and bosnia - hercegovina . karstic streams in livanjsko polje , buska and mandecko lakes near livno . introduced ( possibly ) to the blidinje lake more than 100 years ago , and prolosko & ricice lakes near imotski , matica drainage near vrgorac ( croatia ) , tihaljina and possibly trebizat ( a neretva tributary ) drainages ( bosnia - hertzagovina ) .

declining . the subpopulation in the small stream is very restricted ; the main population is in three lakes ( two native and one introduced ) ( mrakovcic , m . and freyhof , j . pers . comm ) .

formerly known as leuciscus prepensis , it is also considered by some authors as a subspecies leuciscus cepahlus prespensis fowler , 1977 .

barbieri , r . , kottelat , m . & bianco , g . ( mediterranean workshop , dec . 2004 )

justification : although the range of this species is relatively restricted , it is abundant , and the population is thought to have increased over the past ten years . the prespa lakes are not treated as a single location in this case as there is no major threats thought likely to impact on the entire population . this species is not thought to be at significant risk from the introduction of invasive species .

restricted to the prespa lakes in northern greece , albania and the former yugoslav republic of macedonia ( fyrom ) .

it is a large lacustrine species that completes its full life cycle within the lakes .

overfishing , water extraction and pollution . water levels are vulnerable to decline due to the karstic nature of these lakes .

justification : l . svallize is only found at one location in the neretva and trebisnjica drainage . the main threats of introduced species and water pollution can impact across its whole range .

it is found in the neretva and trebisnjica drainage in bosnia herzegovina and croatia ( mrakovcic , m . pers comm ) .

ogdoconta moreno is a moth in the noctuidae family .

it is only known from southern arizona , although its distribution likely extends into mexico .

the length of the forewings is 10 – 14 mm .

adults vary from brown to gray .

both the reniform and orbicular spots of the forewing are represented by contrasting light patches devoid of any defining lines or spots .

the orbicular spot touches the antemedial line .

the antemedial line is angled with the outward apex occurring just below the orbicular spot .

the inner side of the antemedial line is a light band followed by a darker brown line .

the postmedial line is an almost straight , light line , followed by a light tan or gray region of the subterminal area , which gradually becomes darker in the subterminal area .

the hindwings of both the male and female are whitish , suffused with dull gray brown , more heavily in the female than the male .

adults have been recorded on wing in july , august and september .

hemiscyllium halmahera or halmahera epaulette shark is a species of bamboo shark from indonesia .

this species is described from two specimens collected near ternate island in 2013 , off the coast of larger halmahera island .

this species is most similar to hemiscyllium galei , found in west papua , but looks strikingly different in its pattern of spots .

while h. galei has seven large , dark spots on each side of its body , h. halmahera has a brown color with clusters of brown or white spots in polygon configurations all over its body .

these small sharks are like other bamboo sharks , in that they use their pectoral fins to " walk " along the ocean floor .

hemiscyllium halmahera

hemiscyllium halmahera <EOT> according to the ichthyologists , hemiscyllium halmahera is most similar in general appearance to hemiscyllium galei from cenderawasih bay , west papua .

dr allen’s team caught two specimens of hemiscyllium halmahera near the island ternate , the maluku islands , indonesia .

it was found off the remote eastern island of halmahera , one of the maluku islands .

the brown spotted fish , called hemiscyllium halmahera , is a species of bamboo shark that can grow to 27 inches in length and lives on the seabed where is hunts marine invertebrates and small fish .

they are relatively small , with the largest species measuring about 48 inches ( 1 . 22 m ) . the newly discovered species , called hemiscyllium halmahera , reaches 28 inches ( 70 cm ) in length .

a species of shark that uses its fins to " walk " along the bottom of the ocean floor has been discovered off the coast of indonesia . the shark , hemiscyllium halmahera , uses its fins to wiggle along the seabed and forage for small fish and crustaceans , scientists from conservation international said on friday .

dr gerald allen , a research associate at the western australian museum , and his colleagues from australia have described a new species of shark from eastern indonesian waters .

‘walking’ sharks , also known as bamboo sharks or longtail carpet sharks , belong to the family hemiscylliidae in the shark order orectolobiformes .

rather than swim , these slender - bodied sharks ‘walk’ by wriggling their bodies and pushing with their pectoral and pelvic fins .

“its features include a general brown coloration with numerous clusters of mainly 2 - 3 dark polygonal spots , widely scattered white spots in the matrix between dark clusters , relatively few ( less than 10 ) , large dark spots on the interorbital - snout region , a pair of large dark marks on the ventral surface of the head , and a fragmented post - cephalic mark consisting of a large u - shaped dark spot with a more or less continuous white margin on the lower half , followed by a vertical row of three , smaller clusters of 2 - 3 polygonal dark marks , ” dr allen and his colleagues wrote in a paper published in the aqua , international journal of ichthyology .

“it differs in having 7 - 8 large , horizontally elongate dark spots on the lower side between the abdomen and caudal - fin base , a cluster of solid dark post - cephalic spots , and usually about 25 dark spots on the upper surface of the head , ” they wrote .

we ' re proud to be recognized as a financially accountable and transparent organization .

the shark , which has wide horizontal stripes , grows to a maximum length of just 30in and is harmless to humans .

the conservation group said it hoped the discovery would once again demonstrate that most sharks pose no threat to humans .

the find also highlights the extraordinary marine diversity in indonesia whose chain of islands is home to at least 218 species of sharks and rays , and the country ' s recent efforts to protect species under threat of extinction , conservation international said .

once a leading source of dried shark fin and other shark products , indonesia over the last six months had dedicated new marine preserves to sharks and rays , ci said .

indonesian scientists working with the conservation group said they hoped the new shark find would help that effort , by deepening interest in marine tourism .

" this is the third walking shark species to be described from eastern indonesia in the past six years , which highlights our tremendous shark and ray biodiversity , " said fahmi , a shark expert at the indonesian institute of sciences .

" we now know that six of the nine known walking shark species occur in indonesian waters , and these animals are divers ' favourites , with excellent potential to help grow our marine tourism industry . "

a new species of shark has been discovered by scientists in the eastern indonesian waters that can ' walk ' along the ocean floor .

two specimens of the shy fish were discovered in the indonesian archipelago of muluku by biologist dr gerald allen , from conservation international , and his team .

writing in the international journal of ichthyology dr allen said : “the new species is clearly differentiated on the basis of colour pattern .

“its features include a general brown colouration with numerous clusters of mainly 2 - 3 dark polygonal spots , widely scattered white spots in the matrix between dark clusters . ”

the shark ' s strange walking motion may help provide clues about how early ancestors of the first animals to walk on land began evolving .

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .

the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

it’s halloween . that time of year when the pumpkin rears its orange head and the streets are filled with zombies , witches and donald trump costumes . if like me , you always struggle for costume inspiration , i’ve put together some of the scariest faces you’ll find in the deep - sea sea . you’re welcome

turns out the underside of many deep - sea shark heads look like demonic monsters . hella scary for any shrimp or squid that were to bump into the business end of these guys . not to worry though guys , all of these sharks ( and fish ) are under a metre in length and found well below 500m . no threat to you next time you paddle in the shallows .

still very much an understudied group of sharks . i think it’s quite clear why the demon catsharks get their name but we still know nothing about this group . ( …well not nothing , but it’s not much )

easily identified by the jet black coloration in its mouth . this species can be found through europe from 55m to 1200m .

the birdbeak dogfish has a remarkably longnose that is covered in electro - sensory organs called ampullae of lorenzini , which it uses to detect fish and squid in the dark depths of the ocean .

the jaws of the portuguese dogfish are perfectly designed for grasping and then tearing through chunks of dead whales .

another member of the demon catshark family . this species is typically found between 1000 - 1500m and is believed to specialise on deep - sea shrimp .

i mean , just look at it ! terrifying ! although it only reaches a max size of about 30cm , so kind of cute really .

so when you’re thinking of what to go as to this years halloween party , consider going as a “demon catshark” or a “can - opener smoothdream” .

there are approximately 450 species of vertebrate wildlife which can be found within the garden state , along with 85 freshwater fish . our bays , estuaries and marine waters can be home to 28 marine mammals and 336 marine finfish at some point during the year . this is an exceptional number of species for a state as small as new jersey .
