Public ISBD Titre : Systematics, biology, and distribution of the species of the oceanic Oarfish genus Regalecus : Teleostei, Lampridiformes, Regalecidae Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tyson R. Roberts, Auteur Editeur : Paris : Publications scientifiques du Muséum Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Mémoires du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (1993), ISSN 1243-4442 num. 202 Importance : 1 vol.

Avant-propos, préface et résumé en anglais et français Langues : Anglais Catégories : Animaux (Zoologie) Elevage - Insectes - Oiseaux - Poissons - vétérinaire Mots-clés : - Poissons - Systématique Index. décimale : 639.3 Élevage des poissons et des vertébrés à sang froid Résumé : The hoarfish is almost a mythical animal which may pertain to cryptozoology, considering how much it has at times fascinated or terrified fishermen, sailors and scientists all around the world since the Middle-Age. This splendid monograph provides a great amount of information about the species of the genus Regalecus and their remarkable biology. There was no agreement among ichthyologists about how many species of Regalecus should be recognized, and many considered that there was only a single species. As amply demonstrated here, there are at least two very distinct species. Their large size and characteristic body shape and dorsal fin crests rays produced mythological stories. They remain enigmatic and charismatic, but can no longer be said to be poorly known. This monograph provides 71 illustrations of Regalecus, being useful, interesting, and beautiful, and many of them never published before. The published literature on Regalecidae is thoroughly summarized. A large amount of new information is presented on distribution, food habits, predators, behavior, reproduction, and early life history, gathered from around the world. Interesting hypotheses are presented throughout the work, among them that the distinctive scar at the end of the body of nearly all large Regalecus is the result, not of predation as commonly supposed, but of autotomy or self-amputation, which may occur repeatedly until the entire postabdominal part of the fish has been lost and only the head and abdomen remain. This is one of the most stunning instances of autotomy in the animal kingdom.

Index Langues : Anglais Catégories : Animaux (Zoologie) Elevage - Insectes - Oiseaux - Poissons - vétérinaire Mots-clés : - Zoologie Index. décimale : 591.9 Animaux des divers continents Résumé : The Mémoires du Muséum publish the sixth volume of the series Zoologia Neocaledonica, dealing with the study of the fauna of New Caledonia, one of the « hot spots »of biodiversity in the Southern hemisphere. More than ever, the study of biodiversity in this megadiverse island is a current question. On the one hand, a growing number of molecular phylogenies bring crucial information about the origin and the evolution of local biodiversity. On the other hand, this biodiversity is more and more threatened by multiple landscape use and its deleterious consequences. In this context, systematic studies such as those from Zoologia Neocaledonica are strongly needed as both a background and a primary source of knowledge, invaluable for evolutionary studies and land management policies. This volume comprises 11 contributions bearing on Insects, with the description of more than 80 species and 10 genera as new for Science from New Caledonia. A forthcoming volume will include the studies carried out on Arthropods other than Insects, Mollusks, and Vertebrates.
