Fauna of Australia predators which include abalone and rock lobster. Introduced invertebrate pests include the Asian mussel, New Zealand green-lipped mussel, black-striped mussel and the Northern Pacific seastar, all of which displace native shellfish. There are many unique marine crustaceans in Australian waters. The best-known class, to which all the edible species of crustacean belong, is Malacostraca. The warm waters of northern Australia are home to many species of decapod crustaceans, including crabs, false crabs, hermit crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and prawns. The peracarids, including the amphipods and isopods, are more diverse in the colder waters of southern Australia. Less-well-known marine groups include the
Hermit (hummingbird) very decurved bills. Many species, including the rufous-breasted hermit, also use the heliconias for nesting, attaching their conical nest to the underside of one of the plant's broad leaves. The taxonomy of some groups has changed significantly in recent years. Apart from those issues discussed at "Phaethornis", a taxonomic problem occurs with the "Threnetes leucurus"/"T. niger" complex. Schuchmann & Hinkelmann (1999) considered the sooty barbthroat a melanistic variant of the "T. leucurus", but as it was described first, its scientific name was adopted for the entire species; pale-tailed barbthroat ("T. niger"). This, however, has not been accepted by all authorities,
