Should we, who are not biologists, decide if Nyctiphanes is notable?
2.
Species with neritic distributions include the four species of the genus " Nyctiphanes ".
3.
In the Gulf of California, they have been observed feeding on swarms of the euphausiid " Nyctiphanes simplex ".
4.
Buller's shearwater feeds mainly on fish, squid, and crustaceans such as the krill " Nyctiphanes australis ".
5.
Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of the cytochrome oxidase gene and 16S ribosomal DNA, " Nyctiphanes " is believed to have evolved during the Miocene.
6.
Species with endemic distributions include " Nyctiphanes capensis ", which occurs only in the Benguela current, and the six " Euphausia " species native to the Southern Ocean.
7.
In some species, this form is not considered a separate developmental stage as it develops into a metanauplius without molting; in other species such as " Nyctiphanes couchii ", it can be separated from the metanauplius stage by the molt of a very thin cuticle soon after hatching.
