EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 100 from Voyage of the H.M.S. Challenger 1873-1876: A Landmark in the Discovery of Foraminifera, Eukaryotic Protists This stunning Victorian-era illustration, Plate 100 from the publication "Voyage of the H.M.S. Challenger 1873-1876. Zoology Vol. 9. Foraminifera Plates," showcases two intriguing eukaryotic protists, Carpenteria and Polytrema. Produced by Scottish scientist and naturalist Sir Charles Wyville Thomson and published in 1884, this plate represents a significant milestone in the exploration and understanding of foraminifera, a group of unicellular and multicellular organisms belonging to the phylum Rhizaria. The Challenger expedition, led by British Royal Navy Captain George S. Nares, set sail from Portsmouth, England, in 1873, with the primary objective of studying the world's oceans and their geology. The voyage lasted for three years and covered over 68,800 nautical miles, yielding a wealth of new knowledge about the marine environment. The discovery and documentation of Carpenteria and Polytrema, illustrated in this plate, were crucial contributions to the scientific community during the 19th century. Carpenteria, a genus of foraminiferans, is characterized by its large, complex tests, or shells, which provide valuable information about the environmental conditions during the organisms' lives. Polytrema, on the other hand, is a genus of retaria, a subgroup of foraminifera known for their reticulate tests, which resemble a network or net. This exquisite illustration, produced during the Victorian era, is a testament to the meticulous work of the Challenger expedition team and their commitment to expanding human knowledge of the natural world. The discovery and classification of Carpenteria and Polytrema, along with numerous other findings, revolutionized the understanding of eukaryotic protists and their role in marine ecosystems.
