Antedon bifida

Antedon bifida is a species of crinoid in the family Antedonidae commonly known as the rosy feather star. It is found in north west Europe. Antedon petasus and Antedon bifida are Antedonidae.

See Antedon petasus and Antedon bifida

Antedonidae

Antedonidae is a family of crinoids or feather stars in the phylum Echinodermata.

See Antedon petasus and Antedonidae

Cirrus (biology)

In biology, a cirrus (cirri,, from the Latin cirrus meaning a curl-like tuft or fringe) is a long, thin structure in an animal similar to a tentacle but generally lacking the tentacle's strength, flexibility, thickness, and sensitivity.

See Antedon petasus and Cirrus (biology)

Crinoid

Crinoids are marine invertebrates that make up the class Crinoidea.

See Antedon petasus and Crinoid

Detritus

In biology, detritus is dead particulate organic material, as distinguished from dissolved organic material.

See Antedon petasus and Detritus

Egg

An egg is an organic vessel grown by an animal to carry a possibly fertilized egg cell (a zygote) and to incubate from it an embryo within the egg until the embryo has become an animal fetus that can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches.

See Antedon petasus and Egg

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Antedon petasus and Family (biology)

Filter feeder

Filter feeders are aquatic animals that acquire nutrients by feeding on organic matters, food particles or smaller organisms (bacteria, microalgae and zooplanktons) suspended in water, typically by having the water pass over or through a specialized filtering organ.

See Antedon petasus and Filter feeder

Gamete

A gamete (ultimately) is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that reproduce sexually.

See Antedon petasus and Gamete

Great Britain

Great Britain (commonly shortened to Britain) is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean off the north-west coast of continental Europe, consisting of the countries England, Scotland and Wales.

See Antedon petasus and Great Britain

Invertebrate

Invertebrates is an umbrella term describing animals that neither develop nor retain a vertebral column (commonly known as a spine or backbone), which evolved from the notochord.

See Antedon petasus and Invertebrate

Kelp

Kelps are large brown algae or seaweeds that make up the order Laminariales.

See Antedon petasus and Kelp

Larva

A larva (larvae) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage.

Marine Life Information Network

The Marine Life Information Network (MarLIN) is an information system for marine biodiversity for Great Britain and Ireland.

Ocean

The ocean is the body of salt water that covers approx.

Plankton

Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms that drift in water (or air) but are unable to actively propel themselves against currents (or wind).

See Antedon petasus and Plankton

Scandinavia

Scandinavia is a subregion of Northern Europe, with strong historical, cultural, and linguistic ties between its constituent peoples.

See Antedon petasus and Scandinavia

Sessility (motility)

Sessility is the biological property of an organism describing its lack of a means of self-locomotion.

See Antedon petasus and Sessility (motility)

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Antedon petasus and Species

Tube feet

Tube feet (technically podia) are small active tubular projections on the oral face of an echinoderm, such as the arms of a starfish, or the undersides of sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers; they are more discreet though present on brittle stars, and have only a feeding function in feather stars.
