It is a contracted form of biological diversity encompassing the variety of all forms on the earth. It is identified as the variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes of which they are part including diversity between species and ecosystems. -

Samplings were made aboard the vessel ”Antares” at 22 stations in July and August, 2001 with a bongo net (500-μm mesh size). Hydrological data were taken simultaneously for comparative purposes. L. faxoni was present at thirteen of the fourteen neritic stations analysed, as well as at five of the eight oceanic stations. L. typus was present at three of the fourteen neritic stations and in one of the eight oceanic stations. The highest density of L. faxoni in the neritic province was 7,000 ind.m–3 (St. 82) and 159 ind.m–3 (St. 75) in the oceanic area. For L. typus, the highest density observed was 41 ind.m–3 (St. 64) in the neritic province. -
Determining Optimal Temperature and Salinity of Lucifer (Dendrobranchiata: Sergestoidea: Luciferidae) Based on field Data from the East China Sea
Plankton Benthos Res 5(4): 136–143, 2010 Plankton & Benthos Research © The Plankton Society of Japan Determining optimal temperature and salinity of Lucifer (Dendrobranchiata: Sergestoidea: Luciferidae) based on field data from the East China Sea ZHAO L. XU* East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences, 300 Jungong Road, Shanghai 200090, P. R. China Received 26 December 2007; Accepted 26 August 2010 Abstract: Distribution patterns and abundance of the epiplanktonic shrimp Lucifer were examined in the East China Sea (23°30Ј–33°N, 118°30Ј–128°E), in relation to temperature and salinity. A total of 443 samples were collected from four seasonal surveys conducted between 1997 and 2000. The yield density model was used to predict optimal tempera- ture (OT) and optimal salinity (OS) of four Lucifer species: Lucifer typus, L. hanseni, L. intermedius and L. penicillifer. Thereafter, their distribution patterns were determined. The results indicated that these species are the most abundant in summer. Lucifer typus, with OT of 28.0°C and OS of 33.8, is considered to be an oceanic tropic water species. The species is mainly found in the northern waters off Taiwan in summer and autumn. Lucifer hanseni, L. intermedius and L. penicillifer, with OTs of 26.4, 28.0, 27.4°C and OSs of 33.6, 33.4, 33.2, are off-shore subtropical water species. They are mainly distributed in the south off-shore the East China Sea and north of Taiwan. Key words: East China Sea, Lucifer, optimal salinity, optimal temperature, zooplankton tonic and are important in the diet of some fishes (e.g. -

A few scattered notes exist which deal with the crabs and shrimps of the region, but no comprehensive account of the Decapoda of any of the three countries has ever been published apart from Young's (1900) "The stalk-eyed Crustacea of British Guiana, West Indies and Bermuda", which, however, also covers the West Indian Islands and Bermuda (including the deep-water species), and furthermore is incomplete. -

DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
LABORATORIES, LYCEUMS, LORDS: THE NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF HUMANISM IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel A. Vandersommers, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Randolph Roth, Advisor Professor John L. Brooke Professor Chris Otter Copyright by Daniel A. Vandersommers 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation tells the story of how a zoo changed the world. Certainly, Charles Darwin shocked scientists with his 1859 publication On the Origin of Species, by showing how all life emerged from a common ancestor through the process of natural selection. Darwin’s classic, though, cannot explain why by the end of the century many people thought critically about the relationship between humans and animals. To understand this phenomenon, historians need to look elsewhere. Between 1870 and 1910, as Darwinism was debated endlessly in intellectual circles, zoological parks appeared suddenly at the heart of every major American city and had (at least) tens of millions of visitors. Darwin’s theory of evolution inspired scientists and philosophers to theorize about humans and animals. Public zoos, though, allowed the multitudes to experience daily the similarities between the human world and the animal kingdom. Upon entering the zoo, Americans saw the world’s exotic species for the first time—their long necks, sharp teeth, bright colors, gargantuan sizes, ivory extremities, spots, scales, and stripes. Yet, more significantly, Americans listened to these animals too. They learned to take animals seriously as they interacted with them along zoo walkways.
