The benefits of settling basally are significant, with basal stem mothers producing 49-65% more offspring than their distally settled counterparts. The benefits of settling basally relate to the aphid's ability to manipulate the plant's food resources.

Subglacial meltwater generation is one key to the understanding of subglacial meltwater flow. Meltwater may be produced on the glacier surface (supraglacially), below the glacier (basally) or in both locations. Ablation (surface melting) tends to result in surface pooling. Basal melting results from geothermal heat flux out of the earth, which varies with location, as well as from friction heating which results from the ice moving over the surface below it.
|
|
The flowers are commonly borne in definite or indefinite axillary inflorescences, which are often reduced to a single flower, but may also be cauliflorous, oppositifolious, or terminal. They often bear supernumerary bracts in the structure of a bicolor unit. They can be unisexual or bisexual, and are generally actinomorphic, often associated with conspicuous bracts, forming an epicalyx. They generally have five valvate sepals, most frequently basally connate, with five imbricate petals.

The first extensive classification of Trifolium was done by Zohary and Heller in 1984. They divided the genus into eight sections: Lotoidea, Paramesus, Mistyllus, Vesicamridula, Chronosemium, Trifolium, Trichoecephalum, and Involucrarium, with Lotoidea placed most basally. Within this classification system, Trifolium repens falls within section Lotoidea, the largest and least heterogeneous section. Lotoidea contains species from America, Africa, and Eurasia, considered a clade because of their inflorescence shape, floral structure, and legume that protrudes from the calyx.

Sexually, they are hapaxanthic, another rare feature in palms, which results in the death of individual stems after flowering and fruiting has occurred. As hermaphrodites, the flowers are also uncommon with both male and female organs present in each. The inflorescence is short and thick, once or twice branched, with bisexual flowers hanging from long, furry stalks. Spherical to ovoid, the fruit is scaly and matures to orange, red or brown with one basally attached seed.

Since the first name applied to any of these remains was Chirostenotes, this was the only name recognized as valid for many years. However, Senter and Parrish (2005) doubted the synonymy of Caenagnathus with Chirostenotes, noting that the maxillary remains included in the Epichirostenotes holotype didn't overlap with CMN 8776. A cladistic analysis of Coelurosauria by Senter (2007) found Caenagnathus to fall basally within Caenagnathoidea, while Chirostenotes fell as a derived taxon related to Elmisaurus.Senter, P (2007).

There are six stamens with laterally connate filaments and oblong to ovate anthers, dorsifixed towards the base. The pollen is circular to elliptical and monosulcate; exine reticulate and tectate and irregularly spotted with striate spines; the tiny pistillode is trifid. In female plants the inflorescence usually features one main branch and the branchlets may grow from the main axil, the branch, or both.

Temnora avinoffi is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Nigeria to Cameroon and Gabon. The forewing upperside pattern is in general similar to Temnora subapicalis subapicalis in that the ground colour is dark brown and the straight oblique line runs from the middle of the costa and is edged basally with a pale coloration. It is however immediately distinguishable by the shape of the outer margin of the forewing, which is strongly convex and strongly crenulated.

Bifrenaria tyrianthina showing the prominent banana-like pseudobulbs of larger species. By contrast, the pseudobulbs of smaller species, such as this Bifrenaria racemosa, a much less noticeable. Bifrenaria are generally robust plants, of sympodial growth, between ten and sixty centimeters tall. They are characterized by round-section root with thick velamen, four-angled fleshy pseudobulbs of one internode, often basally protected by dried sheaths and with only one apical leaf (except for Bifrenaria steyermarkii, which occasionally has two),Foldats, Ernesto (1970).

There 8 to 11 of these rusty brown to dark brown bars running obliquely on the sides of the fish, often overlapping a distinct silvery white laterally positioned band. This band begins behind the operculum and continues to the caudal fin base. The spinous dorsal fin is whitish below grading to yellow above, with brown spots and black dusting apically. The second dorsal fin is white basally, becoming lemon yellow above with 3 rows of black blotches forming longitudinal lines across the fin.

The herbarium material examined by Cheek and Jebb exhibited spurs that were basally 5-branched, with each branch being secondarily ramified. Upper pitchers are similar in shape to their terrestrial counterparts, though usually more elongated, growing to 7–25 cm in height by 1.2–6 cm in width. The basal fifth to third of the trap is ovate, narrowing and becoming cylindrical to slightly infundibular above. As in lower pitchers, a conspicuous hip often marks the boundary between these two parts.

The Queensland lungfish is a lobe-finned fish that is a living fossil. Lungfish evolved the first proto-lungs and proto-limbs. They developed the ability to live outside a water environment in the middle Devonian (397-385 Ma), and have remained virtually the same for over 100 million years. \---- Lobe-finned fishes, fish belonging to the class Sarcopterygii, are mostly extinct bony fishes, basally characterised by robust and stubby lobe fins containing a robust internal skeleton, cosmoid scales and internal nostrils.

The forewings are purplish dark brown, with two different lengths of yellowish- orange streaks basally. There is a well-developed large yellowish-orange costal patch and a yellowish-orange streak extended from the costal patch to the apex along the costa, as well as a round stigma on the outer margin of the patch medially. There are dark-brown scales along the margin of the termen. The hindwings are dark brown, with a bundle of orange-white hairs at the base.

There are apparently two colour forms of this species. In the Marshall Islands (animals of in length alive) the body of Baeolidia variabilis is translucent white with brown veins on the sides and a dense pattern of opaque white pigment over much of the dorsal surface. In the Philippines (animals of in length preserved) the white is absent and light ochre spots occur all over the body. The rhinophores are covered basally with sparse papillae which become numerous towards the tips.
|
|
The basal leaves have a long petiole (which may be thickened and red, white, or yellow in some cultivars). The simple leaf blade is oblanceolate to heart-shaped, dark green to dark red, slightly fleshy, usually with a prominent midrib, with entire or undulate margin, 5–20 cm long on wild plants (often much larger in cultivated plants). The upper leaves are smaller, their blades are rhombic to narrowly lanceolate. The flowers are produced in dense spike-like, basally interrupted inflorescences.
|
|
Adult resting on a flower of a Rosa species The forewing length is 3.5–3.9 mm for males and 4–4.4 mm for females. The forewings are dull bluish with conspicuously broad and mostly bronzy golden markings, consisting of a trapeziform fascia at one-fourth, and at 1/2 a moderately broad straight fascia runs across the whole wing width, inwardly oblique. At three-fourths, a broad, variably shaped, inwardly convex fascia is found. The fringe is bronzy golden, basally bluish violet.

Females are 8.4–11.8mm in length. The head and mesosoma are reddish-brown or orange-brown while the posterior parts of the wasp are black, the limbs and antennae are blackish brown. The wings are sooty in colour, darker basally and paler distally. The males are 4.33–12.64 mm in length and are almost completely black in colour apart from some orange markings around the eyes and on the mesosoma, although these are variable and some individuals may be completely black.
|
|
The fingers slightly gape and the opposing edges are dense with bristles ventrally as bristles on the pollex (movable joint of forceps) continue onto the manus (immovable finger and palm). It bears rounded teeth, with one tooth large and prominent on the dactylus (seventh and terminal segment of their thoracic appendages) at midlength, and a similar slightly smaller tooth on the pollex. The pollex is broad basally, evenly tapering. The dactylus is broadest at midlength and equal to the manus in length.

Metaplexis plants are vines that reach 8 m high; are rhizomatous and have underground woody organs that constitute a pattern. Leaf- blades are herbaceous, about 5–10 cm long and 4.6 cm wide, ovate, basally cordate, acute apex attenuated, adaxial glabrous and are abaxially sparsely pubescent. The inflorescences are extra-axillary, solitary, almost as long as the adjacent leaves. The plants have 6-20 flowers, simple, with the peduncle longer than the pedicels which are practically obsolete and slightly pubescent on the whole surface.
|
|
The ground color of the forewings is white, basally heavily spotted with shining gray or silver-blue on both the costal and dorsal areas. The ground color of the hindwings is whitish at the base, becoming brown towards the margins. Adults are on wing in February (in Trinidad), in May (in San Salvador and Yucatán), from June to July (in Veracruz), from July to August (in Sinoloa and Sonora), in November (in Venezuela) and in December (in Oaxaca). The larvae feed on Cordia alliodora.
|
|
The length of the forewings is . The pattern of the forewings is divided by a longitudinal line along the Cu fold extended below this fold as blunt, triangular spurs at the basal one-fourth, the middle and in the terminal area. The dorsal area is white and the area costad of the line is dark brown, usually with one or more ill-defined whitish blotches along the costa. The ground color of the hindwings is whitish basally, becoming pale brownish on the apical half.

Stylidium hispidum, the white butterfly triggerplant, is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus Stylidium (family Stylidiaceae). S. hispidum is endemic to Australia and is found primarily in southwest Western Australia near Perth. This species is a basally rosetted triggerplant with greyish, linear leaves growing up to three cm. The scape is reddish, from six to thirty cm tall ending in a somewhat branched raceme giving rise to white or cream- colored flowers, which have red spots near the throat of the flower.

Pachycephalosaurs, or "thick-headed reptiles", have primitive features that include basally small sized bodies, obligate bipedalism, and simple teeth with one row in operation at a time that are replaced as they are worn down. As they evolved, pachycephalosaurs evolved much thicker and advanced skull roofs including dome forms with horn-like ornamentation. Some research suggests these domes were used like helmets for protection while head-butting members in intraspecific combat. Some research suggests their necks were not strong enough to support such an impact.

The forewings are fuscous irrorated with dark fuscous and with a broad pale yellow-ochreous costal streak from the base to four-fifths, becoming ochreous- whitish on the edges, enclosing five small oblique blackish costal marks, the last two confluent, its lower edge indented in the middle, partially edged with blackish-fuscous. The hindwings are dark grey in males, with an irregular pale ochreous-yellowish patch occupying the basal two-fifths. In females, the hindwings are grey-whitish, suffused with dark grey towards the margins except basally.

In general the nut wall and septa are approximately thick without and do not have lacunae but do possess a secondary septum. The locule is divided into four compartments basally with inner ribs that are well developed and containing vascular bundles and the placentary bundles of primary septum arch out peripherally. When described by Steven Manchester, the mass was interpreted to represent a Miocene rodent nut cache and was the oldest known at that time. Since then a slightly older cache was discovered in Germany.

A phylogenetic analysis of dyrosaurids by Hastings et al. (2010) placed Cerrejonisuchus relatively basally in the dyrosaur clade between Phosphatosaurus gavialoides and Arambourgisuchus khouribgaensis. Cerrejonisuchus was not found to be closely related to the other short-snouted dyrosaur Chenanisuchus, which was placed at the base of the clade. Although it might be expected that Chenanisuchus and Cerrejonisuchus are closely related because they are the only dyrosaurids with short snouts, the results of the analysis show that snout proportions alone are not indicative of phylogenetic relatedness in dyrosaurs.

Very small flowers sit in one- to three- (rarely eight-) flowered glomerules in the axils of short bracts or in the upper half of the inflorescence without bracts. The hermaphrodite flowers are urn-shaped, green or tinged reddish, and consist of five basally connate perianth segments (tepals), 3-5 × 2–3 mm, 5 stamens, and a semi-inferior ovary with 2-3 stigmas. The perianths of neighbouring flowers are often fused. Flowers are wind-pollinated or insect- pollinated, the former method being more important.

The subsection Hadrotes contains ten species of which eight do not have oil glands in the branchlet pith. Together these eight species form series Lehmannianae, a group that have fruit with exserted valves that have fused tips even after the seeds are lost, a feature also shared with the distantly related Eucalyptus cornuta. Of the eight species in series Lehmannianae four species; E. conferruminata, E. lehmannii, E. mcquoidii and E. arborella all have the buds in each an axillary cluster that is fused basally.

Overall the leaves of B. leopoldae are elliptical to circular in outline ranging up to long, though averaging between . The leaf width is typically but ranges up to . The long petioles narrow from base to leaf blade and meet the blade at a symmetrical to asymmetrical base which may be cordate to obtuse. The margin is serrated with larger primary teeth that are separated by 7 or less smaller subsidiary teeth, all of which have a variable morphology from pointing apically to pointing basally.
|
|
The bracts are adnate to the rachis and adjacent bracts forming depressions around the pairs; the bracteoles are inconspicuous. The staminate flowers are long and asymmetrical with three linear, triangular sepals, basally connate and adnate to the receptacle. They have three pointed, obovoid petals, which are elongated, valvate, and longer, wider and thicker than the sepals. The stamens are numerous, from 60 to 100, irregularly inserted, with cylindrical, elongated, flexible filaments which are bent and twisted, occasionally joined, apiculate, and dorsifixed a third of their length.

It has also been recorded from Panama and Brazil (Amazonas). The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The forewings are yellow basally to just before the midpoint, the distal margin of the yellow area runs straight from the costa to the dorsum and is bordered by a dark brown line. The apical half of the forewing is dark brown with a broad transverse band parallel to the distal margin of the yellow area and a subterminal band from the costa before the apex to the tornus.
|
|
Flowers are found solitary, with a decumbent peduncle, in size, showing two bracts halfway and one at its base. The perigone is greenish-violet to reddish; the flower's tube is urceolate, long. It counts with 6 lobes, which are ligulate with rounded and reflexed tips, , each with 4 thin, parallel keels which fuse with each other and basally run to the base of the tube. Its anthers amount to 6, which are sessile and ovoid, measuring , and are closely attached to the pistil base.

The erect open shrub typically grows to a height of . It has branchlets with ovate shape stipules that are basally rounded and about in length anf wide and covered with a dense matting of woolly hairs. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The silvery-green phyllodes have a broadly elliptic to subrotund shape with a length of and a width of and usually have five or so main veins with a visible network of minor veins branching off.
|
|
The basal and outer light areas are separated by an arm of ground color. In the cell, at about two-fifths, a fuscous spot is found and there is an indistinct row of fuscous spots parallel to termen from the costa to the tornus, at about the outer fifth. At the apical fourth, on the costa, a prominent, narrow triangular white streak bordered on its inner margin with reddish ocherous and followed by white scaling, runs to the apex. The hindwings are brownish but much paler basally.

While different molecular markers lead to debate about the basal relationship of trogons, the most common resulting phylogenies indicate that the African trogons are basal to the Indomalayan and Neotropical trogons, and the latter two are likely sister taxa. Additionally, the Trogonini appear almost certainly to be monophyletic. In other studies, the phylogeny produces similar relationships, placing the African trogons basally, followed by the Indomalayan trogons, then the quetzals, and finally the new world trogons. Quetzals, genus Pharomachrus , distinguish themselves from other new world trogons by two main morphological traits.

The species' 'leaf-padded' feet are better able to grip substrate in the presence of dust than those of 'basally padded' geckos. On the small island of Giraglia, invasive Tarentola mauritanica have become established on a concrete structure, but are unable to inhabit the rest of the island, where E. europaea is native, due to the dusty conditions. The latter's toe-tip pads can be lifted aside to allow use of claws to climb when the pads are fouled with dust, something not possible with the full toe pads of T. mauritanica.
|
|
The forewings are whitish, the basal third of the costa and cell shaded with brown. There are yellow-buff shades basally below the cell and a broad antemedial, irregular, fuscous shade, as well as a dark brown medial line, followed in the cell by a fuscous shade and a yellow-buff spot, outwardly limited by a dark curved line. There is also a dark line from the cell along vein 2, then wavy to the inner margin. Across the discocellular runs a yellow- buff, incurved crescent which is finely edged with brown.
|
|
The head and thorax are gray, spotted with white. The abdomen is gray. The forewings are dust gray, thickly dusted with white and brown scales forming scattered flecks or blotches, one of which is generally present on the middle of the space between the base of the wing and the fissure. A larger one is found before the fissure and separated from it by a whitish space, below this is a longitudinal streak of scales, bordered basally by a white spot and separated from the spot before the fissure by a whitish space.

Alternatively, workers may be subterranean associates of attines and thus not accessible to standard collection techniques. The mandibular dentition of reina is highly distinctive and unlike any other Megalomyrmex species. In other species the dentition varies from a condition of few teeth that gradually decrease in size basally to one in which the two apical teeth are much larger than a series of diminished basal denticles. In contrast, M. reina has a single large apical tooth, which is long and sharp, followed by a relatively uniform series of smaller teeth.

The close relationship of DMPK to the Rho-kinases has led to speculation whether DMPK activity may be regulated in vivo by small G proteins, particularly of the Rho family. Although DMPK lacks obvious binding sites for known G, DMPK-1 oligomers exhibit low basal catalytic activity due to the presence of the C-terminal autoinhibitory domain (AI). A protease (P) within the membrane cleaves DMPK-1, removing the C-terminal autoinhibitory and membrane association domains and releasing cytosolic, basally active DMPK-2. This processing event would produce longterm activation of the kinase.
|
|
The ground color of the forewings is white, the costal area on the basal one-fifth densely spotted with dark gray brown, blending to metallic green. The ground color of the hindwings is whitish basally (becoming brownish before the margins) and ocherous at the distal margins including the fringe. Adults of subspecies phylacis are on wing from April to May (in Yucatán), in June (in Chiapas), in July (in Veracruz) and from July to August (in Sonora and Sinaloa). Adults of subspecies ornata have been recorded in August.

Satellite image of Cargados Carajos The shoreline is principally basalt boulders cemented basally by beachrock. The peripheral fringing reefs are exposed to a considerable south- east swell; accumulated water flows with dangerous velocity through the pass between Le Chaland and Ile des Deux Cocos.Procter and Salm, 1974 The reefs are described by Sabn (1976). The western part of the bay has a coral bank and a fringing reef, dominated by staghorn Acropora, with an irregular front which merges with the coral banks; the reef flat has appreciable coral cover.

Molecular evidence for the common origin of snap-traps among carnivorous plants. American Journal of Botany, 89(9): 1503–1509. New analysis in 2003 revealed a close relationship between D. regia and D. arcturi, both of which clustered basally with respect to all other Drosera, suggesting a link between D. regia and all other Drosera through its relationship with D. arcturi. Evidence for the evolution of "snap-traps" of Dionaea and Aldrovanda from a flypaper trap like D. regia has also emerged and been argued for based on molecular data.

Seed germination is a lengthy process, to a year or more, with some seeds resisting germination to four years. On sprouting, the plant is invariably slow-moving, failing to show trunk height for multiple decades. Unless the rate of growth markedly increases in later life, the biggest specimens in Queensland are probably several hundred years old. Despite bearing resemblance to their namesake, this plant is most closely related to the South American palm Ceroxylon, differing only in the amount of peduncular bracts, the bracteole flowers, and the free, rather than basally fused, petals.
|
|
The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are yellow basally, concolorous and continuous with the thorax and tegulae except for a small patch of gray brown at the extreme base of the dorsum. The distal margin of the yellow area is bordered by a dark brown line immediately paralleled by a broad transverse band of iridescent blue. The apical half of the forewing is dark brown with alternating irregular transverse patterns of red brown, black, iridescent gray, iridescent blue violet, red brown, black, iridescent blue violet in sequence from midpoint to apex.
|
|
The wingspan is 21–25 mm. The forewings are light reddish brown with a violet tinge, shaded with rich dark brown. At the base of the costa is a large dark brown area reaching down to the fold and from the basal third of the costa runs an oblique dark brown line across the wing to the apical third of the dorsum, edged basally with ochreous scales. At the end of the cell is a short, perpendicular, brown streak and the outer half of the costal area is dark brown.

Each leaf, recurving at its end, is 1.5 m long on 30 cm petioles being light to bright green in color. The stiff pinnae are once-folded with a prominent midrib, 90 cm long, and regularly arranged along the rachis. The infrafoliar inflorescence produces small, white to yellow, unisexual flowers on bright red branches, basally divided to three orders and distally to one. The female flowers are nearly twice as long as the male's, both contain three distinct sepals and petals, the former with 3 staminodes, the latter with 6 stamens.
|
|
Abdomen black, sparsely clothed with whitish-ochreous hair. Legs fuscous, tarsi annulated with ochreous. Forewings broadly lanceolate, apex less acute in; dark metallic violet; a band of pale lemon-yellow at base; a lemon-yellow band before 1/2, faintly excurved, and dilated slightly on dorsal half; a variable series of lemon-yellow dots on costa between median band and apex, and a similar series on dorsum, usually two in each case but sometimes four or five: cilia greyish-fuscous. Hindwings dark metallic violet, fuscous basally: cilia as in forewings.

EC cells are small polygonal cells located in the crypts between intestinal villi. They are discriminated from other cells of the gastrointestinal epithelial crypts by the presence of basally located granulations that contain serotonin and other peptides. Ultrastructurally, these granules are reported to vary in size and shape and are considered pleomorphic. Most EC cells communicate with the lumen of intestinal crypts through apical microvilli (protrusions) and are referred to as “open”. A proportion of EC cells do not protrude into the crypt lumen and are subsequently referred to as ‘closed’.
|
|
Legs ochreous, tarsi annulated with fuscous. Forewings ovate-lanceolate, costa strongly arched basally, thence straight, apex acute, termen very oblique, slightly sinuate; reddish-ochreous; a silvery-white irregular fascia from costa at 1/2, sometimes reaching across wing; a similar fascia at 3/4, expanding into a blotch on costa; two silvery-white spots on costa between 3/4 and apex; five or six interrupted blackish fasciae between 1/2 and apex, forming prominent spots on costa, termen and dorsum: fringes reddish-ochreous. Hindwings fuscous-violet: fringes fuscous, mixed with ochreous round apex.
|
|
The leaves may be sparsely to densely tomentose on the rachis and petiole, the leaflets are regularly and widely spaced, up to 60 cm long, dark green on top and glaucous on the underside. Compared to other palms, the inflorescences in this genus are unusually large, once-branched, and emerge below the leaf crown. Both male and female flowers are white to yellow, growing on the same plant, both with three sepals and three petals. The fruit develops from one carpel, yellow to orange to brown when ripe, containing one basally attached, spherical seed.
|
|
The forewings are ochraceous buff with the extreme edge of the costa basally greyish fuscous. There is an irregular, outwardly oblique, cinnamon- brown fascia from the basal fourth of the costa extending to the dorsum well before the tornus. Between veins 8 to 11 cinnamon are brown streaks edged with pinkish scales and there is a cinnamon-brown blotch at the end of the cell, which narrows and extends to the apex. Along the termen is a cinnamon-brown line and there are pink scales scattered over the wing surface.

The organism's discovery was most significant because of the huge range extension of the anomalocaridids it caused: the group was only previously known from lagerstätten of the lower-to-middle Cambrian, 100 million years before. This underlined the utility of lagerstätten like the Hunsrück Slate: these exceptionally preserved fossil horizons may be the only available opportunity to observe non-mineralised forms. The organism has also prompted novel hypotheses about the classification of early arthropods. One classification scheme has Schinderhannes classified basally to the crown arthropods, but closer to that group than Anomalocaris.
|
|
The anterior part of the thorax is buff, spreading out into the base of the costa of the forewings. The thorax is dorsally brown, becoming lighter basally. The abdomen is light brownish buff on the anterior part with a red-brown squarish spot close to the base, becoming quite dark, almost seal-brown, mottled with lighter on the anal segments. The groundcolour of the forewings is white, the costal edge, discal area from the base to the cleft and the inner margin broadly brown streaked, the spaces between being more or less suffused with light brown scales.

Juxta broad, dorsally rectangular, ventrally somewhat rhomboid and broader. Valva costae very broad, straight to slightly concave, basally each with a medially directed slender, apically pointed projection (which are, however, not the transtilla arms); valva apex broad rounded, ventral valva side medially broadly bulging outward, in basal half with elongate sacculus. A stout-tipped, short posteroventrad directed fibula emerging from a broad sclerotised base stretching from close to the costa base to the ventral valva edge. Phallus short, broad, evenly sclerotised, with a short coecum; vesica with a compact field of about 20 short, slender cornuti.

NS5A is derived from a large polyprotein that is translated from the HCV genome, and undergoes post-translation processing by nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) viral protease. Despite no inherent enzymatic activity being attributed to NS5A, its function is mediated through interaction with other nonstructural (NS) viral and cellular proteins. NS5A has two phosphorylated forms: p56 and p58, which differ in the electrophoretic mobility. p56 is basally phosphorylated by host cellular protein kinase at the center and near the C terminus, whereas p58 is a form of hyperphorylated NS5A at the center of the serine-rich region.

Calyx dark-vivid red, narrow infundibular, tube 16–22 mm long, 3–5 mm basally expanding to 6–8 mm wide at throat, lobes deltoid-ovate, subulate-acuminate, 8–12 mm long; persistent in fruit. Standard petal brilliant red, paler toward spotted center, blade oblong-lanceolate, 25–33 mm long x 14–17 mm wide, claw 21–24 mm long. Wing petals shorter than keel, red, flaring apically, blade elliptic-oblong 25–33 mm long x 14–17 mm wide, claw 21–24 mm long. Keel petals red, blade elliptic- oblong, weakly falcate, 17–23 mm long x 2.5–5 mm wide.

The flowers are unisexual, the plants can be monoecious or dioecious. Male flowers form an interrupted spike or subcapitate inflorescence of glomeruled, ebracteate flowers. These consist of 4 basally connate perianth segments, that are ovate or elliptic, membranous and abaxially hairy; and 4 stamens with oblong anthers and linear, exserted filaments. Female flowers sitting single or paired axillary, enclosed by 2 hairy bracteoles, that are connate in the lower part, compressed to slightly keeled, with 4 hornlike tips; a perianth is missing, the female flowers consist just of an ovary with a short style and 2 elongated stigmas.

Despite having a high level of receptor expression, the physiological role of glucocorticoid signaling in the developing hippocampus is not well defined. Animal studies have shown fetal exposure to elevated levels of GCs(either by direct corticosterone mimetic injection or stressing of the mother) has adverse outcomes. In addition to having reduced birth weights, stressed rat pups have a decreased ability to regulate the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hippocampus provides negative feedback to this loop and stressed pups have less sensitive glucocorticoid signaling resulting in elevated levels of glucocorticoids basally and an exaggerated response during stress.

Furthermore, even all of the nonditrysian moths are not small. For example, the Hepialidae or "swift moths" (up to 25 cm wingspan) fall quite basally in the lepidopteran "tree of life". The recently discovered primitive superfamily Andesianoidea is another case in point: lurking within the Cossoidae until 2001, these moths have up to an order of magnitude greater wingspan (5.5 cm) than most previously known monotrysian "micros". Whilst the smaller moths are usually also more seldom noticed, a more expansive "non-macrolepidopteran" concept of the microlepidoptera would include about 37 out of the approximately 47 superfamilies.

The leaves of Trochodendron postnastae are between long, an acute apex and leaf base which is acute to nearly right-angled. With a maximum lamina width of the leaves have a length to with ratio of up to 2.7:1 and an elliptical outline. Unlike the older T. nastae leaves which are basally acrodromous with no pinnate secondary veins, T. postnastae leaves are pinnately acrodromous. Two large secondary veins branch from the very base of the primary vein and run parallel to the leaf margin before joining the first pinnate secondary, which is craspedodromous, running from the primary vein to the leaf margin.

Papilio alexanor is similar to Papilio machaon, however, the basal third of the forewing is not entirely black, but bordered basally and distally by a broad black band. The bands are continued across the hindwing, bordering also here the yellow basal area. The larva is similar to that of P. machaon but more variegated, the red dots larger and brighter; it is easy to find, since the stalks of the plants on which it feeds become white, the epidermis being gnawed. Pupa are stone grey, very flat, with carinate sides and uneven surface; fastened on stones and resembling a small stone splinter.

The costa, except the spots, is edged with ocherous and there is a brown dot at the end of the cell. In females, the forewings are ocherous heavily shaded with brown, with three costal spots, the basal one indistinct, small, others larger, more sharply defined. From the apical costal spot extend two outwardly curving, indistinct parallel, dark, transverse lines to the tornus and from the middle costal spot extends an outwardly curving, indistinct, transverse line. The costa is narrowly dark brown basally, edged with ocherous beyond, except the spots and there is a small faint dot at the end of the cell.

The species' cerci themselves could be described as being more bead-like (filiform) than the thicker cerci, specifically known as forceps, of most other earwigs. One of the key characteristics of the Forficulina suborder is the existence of large, thick, basally broadened and crenulate-toothed forceps, which is notably absent on Archidermapteron martynovi. The only species of earwigs with these uncharacteristically-thinner cerci are earwigs in the suborders Arixeniina and Hemimerina, which are rare and contain few individuals. In order to open their wings, extant species of Forficulina use their cerci because their wings fold into a "package" due to internal elasticity.

Asiodiplatys speciousus had cerci that were more bead-like, or filiform, than the thicker cerci, specifically known as forceps, of most other earwigs. From the fossil, it can be noted that Asiodiplatys speciousus's cerci were thin, almost identical to their antennae, while Forficula auricularia's cerci are the opposite. One of the key characteristics of the Forficulina suborder is the existence of large, thick, basally broadened and crenulate-toothed forceps, which is notably absent on Asiodiplatys speciousus. The only species of earwigs with these uncharacteristically-thinner cerci are earwigs in the suborders Arixeniina and Hemimerina, which are rare and contain few individuals.

Meltwater may flow either above the glacier (supraglacially), below the glacier (subglacially/basally) or as groundwater in an aquifer below the glacier as a result of the hydraulic transmissivity of the subsoil under the glacier. If the rate of production exceeds the rate of loss through the aquifer, then water will collect in surface or subglacial ponds or lakes. The signatures of supraglacial and basal water flow differ with the passage zone. Supraglacial flow is similar to stream flow in all surface environments—water flows from higher areas to lower areas under the influence of gravity.

Other common names for this species include shark ray, mud skate, shortnose mud skate, bow-mouthed angel fish, and bow-mouthed angel shark. The evolutionary relationships between Rhina ancylostoma and other rays are debated. Morphological evidence generally points to a close relationship between Rhina, Rhynchobatus and Rhynchorhina, which are a group of rays known as the wedgefishes that also have large, shark-like fins. Morphological analyses have tended to place these two genera basally among rays, though some have them as basal to just the guitarfishes (Rhinobatidae) and skates (Rajidae) while others have them basal to all other rays except sawfishes (Pristidae).

The forewings are yellow orange with purple-blackish markings. There is a costal streak from base, terminating in a patch which occupies the apical two-fifths of the wing beyond a curved line from the middle of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, except a curved ante-apical fascia of ground colour from near the costa at three-fourths to near the termen above the tornus. A subcostal streak is found from the base, sometimes reaching the posterior patch. The median and submedian streaks run from the base to near the middle, the median basally confluent with the subcostal.

Eucalyptus lehmannii belongs in Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus, section Bisectae, subsection Hadrotes because of its coarsely bisected cotyledons, erect stamens and larger, thick- rimmed fruits. The subsection Hadrotes contains ten species of which eight do not have oil glands in the branchlet pith. Together these eight species form series Lehmannianae, a group that has fruit with exserted valves that have fused tips even after the seeds are lost, a feature also shared with the distantly related Eucalyptus cornuta. Of the eight species in series Lehmannianae, four species (Eucalyptus lehmannii, E. conferruminata, E. mcquoidii and E. arborella) have the buds in each axillary cluster, fused basally.

Oidaematophorus brucei is a moth of the family Pterophoridae that is found in North America (including Arizona, Colorado, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta) The wingspan is . The head and thorax are pale ashy grey, with the tegulae much lighter. The forewings are white, with a few brown scales scattered over the surface, most numerous basally and along the costa. There is an elongated brown spot on the cell near the basal third of the wing and a triangular brown spot on the end of the cell immediately before the fissure, indistinctly connected with an elongate brown spot on the costa above the end of the fissure.
|
|
The forewings are orange, variably mixed with reddish-fuscous or dark fuscous, especially on the veins and some specimens are wholly suffused with fuscous. The extreme costal edge is sometimes whitish in the middle. The markings are reddish-brown, mixed or suffused with dark grey and there is a suffusion along the basal part of the costa, sometimes extending basally to the dorsum. The first line is irregularly curved and the second denticulate, forming a strong subquadrate loop inwards below the middle, the space between them wholly suffused with dark except along the costa and on a band preceding the upper half of the second line.

Bifrenaria flowers are strongly scented, they have sepals slightly larger than the petals, with the lateral ones basally united to the column foot forming a calcar with truncated extremity. The column is slightly arching, generally without wings or any other appendages, bearing a foot which the labellum is hinged to, whose shape varies, articulated to the column, with a longitudinal channeled callus often with a basal claw. Flowers show two elongated stipes, hardy ever one, at least twice longer than wide, with salient viscidium, visible caudicles and retinacle in inverted positions. The superposed pollinia number four, and are protected by a deciduous incumbent anther.

The Mauna Kea silversword is an erect, single-stemmed and monocarpic or rarely branched and polycarpic basally woody herb, producing a globe-shaped cluster of thick, spirally arranged, sword-shaped silvery-green floccose-sericeous, linear-ligulate to linear-lanceolate leaves growing in a rosette. The epigeal or nearly epigeal rosette may become or more in diameter with individual leaves up to long and is usually less than wide. The leaves are completely covered with a dense layer of long silvery hairs. The leaves of all silverswords have an unusual and important ability to store water as a gel in intracellular spaces where other plant leaves contain air.

The forewings are white, with a few scattered grey or dark fuscous scales and a narrow curved subbasal dark fuscous fascia, interrupted below the middle. There are dark fuscous dots on the costa at one-fifth and before and beyond the middle, and on the dorsum at one-fourth, a dark fuscous transverse discal spot at two- fifths, and a smaller and narrower one at two-thirds, representing the stigmata, the anterior connected with an elongate fuscous suffusion along the dorsum. There is a moderate somewhat sinuate dark fuscous fascia at three- fourths and an irregular dark fuscous apical blotch, enclosing some whitish terminal dots. The hindwings are grey, paler basally.
|

The upper petal is basally prolonged into a spur and ends with two upturned wings, while the lower one has two narrow, spreading or erect wings. The stigma bears three lobes of which the central one is distinctly smaller than the others. There are two sepals laterally attached to the corolla that are whitish with a green midrib, ovate to broadly oblong, dentate at margin in lower two thirds and measuring 3-5 mm (0.12-0.2 in) long and 1.5-3 mm (0.06-0.12 in) wide. The fruit is an achene which is globose to broadly ovate with an almost smooth to slightly rugose (wrinkled) surface.
|
|
The forewings are dark purplish with a rounded orange basal spot, and beyond this on the costa is a narrow attenuated pale yellow streak to three- fourths, terminated basally by a small dark purple spot and out near the base by another. There are some pale greenish-yellow longitudinal streaks, one above the middle from one-fifth of the wing to the end of the cell, two from just beyond the end of the cell to the costa before the apex and the middle of the termen respectively, one from the basal spot below the middle is curved to the termen above the tornus. The hindwings are dark fuscous.Exotic Microlepidoptera.

Nectaries are 0.6-0.8 × 0.4-0.9 mm. Blades are 7-11.5 × 7.5-11.5 cm, subpeltate 2-3(-3.5) mm from the margin, entire or glandular-denticulate at the very base, not variegated at maturity, very widely obovate to widely elliptic or ± circular, at base extremely shallowly cordate to truncate or slightly rounded. Leaves are shallowly to obscurely 3-lobed, with lateral lobes that are broadly obtuse to rounded or nearly obsolete, and a central lobe that is obtuse or somewhat rounded to truncate. Laminar nectaries are marginal, with 4 or 5 gland borne basally, (0)1 to 8 glands borne just proximal to the lateral veins, and (0)2 to 8 glands borne marginally distal to the lateral veins.

The forewings are ochreous fulvous or ochreous brown with a white streak, attenuated basally, along the costa, the anterior margin of the forewing, from the base to near the middle, then leaving the costa and narrowed to beyond the middle. There is a very oblique white striga (pointed, rigid hairlike scale or bristle) from the costa at two-thirds, near the termen acutely angulated to the tornus, edged posteriorly with dark grey speckling which is strongest in the disc, and preceded in the angle by a fine black dash. There are two or sometimes three inwards-oblique white marks on the costa posteriorly, followed by two black marks before the apex. The hindwings are grey.

These markings are edged scarlet from the yellow costal mark at the basal third and a zigzag scarlet mark extends to the middle of the wing. On the dorsum, an inwardly curved scarlet mark extends from the basal fifth to near the middle and beyond the end of the cell is a large oval scarlet blotch, with a conspicuous, transverse, narrow series of black scales, extending to the tornus. At the basal third, in the cell, is a conspicuous fuscous-edged white spot and at the end of the cell is a very small, ill-defined whitish spot. The hindwings are yellowish white, basally shading to grayish then pink toward the termen.

Bechly (1996) proposed that several unique symplesiomorphic features of all Tarsophlebiidae indicate that this family represents the sister group of all Recent Odonata. These features are the basally open discoidal cell in the hindwing (instead of closed) which implies an incomplete arculus, the (meanwhile disputed) presence of four tarsomeres of equal length (instead of only three), and the very primitive condition of the male secondary genital apparatus (viz ligula orimentary; vesicula spermalis still very short and flat with a very wide porus) without any intromittent organ. Bechly therefore considered the similarities of Tarsophlebiidae and Epiprocta mentioned by Nel et al. (1993), viz the less separated and relatively large eyes, the presence of two cephalic sutures, and the small leg spines (also present in Meganisoptera), as symplesiomorphies.

As with some other myrmicine ant genera recently described (Tyrannomyrmex, Dolopomyrmex, Tropidomyrmex), Diaphoromyrma is difficult to relate to any of the tribal taxa defined by Bolton (2003). The central clypeal seta is characteristic of the Solenopsidini (sensu Bolton 1987), although they may not be homologous, but the clypeal configuration differentiates Diaphoromyrma from this group as defined in Bolton (2003). As pointed out by Bolton (1987 and 2003), Allomerus and Diplomorium are problematical genera in the Solenopsidini, as the posterior portion of the clypeus is relatively broad. However, Diaphoromyrma lacks any of the diagnostic attributes of both genera (antennal club segments constricted basally in Allomerus and postpetiole broadly attached to the gaster in Diplomorium; and also antennal club 3-segmented in both genera).

Aquilonastra burtoni is a small species of sea star with up to 8 rays, frequently 7, they frequently demonstrate an asymmetrical form after fissiparous division while the form of larger specimens is often symmetrical with 5 equal rays; there is an inconspicuous madreporite in most interradii. The rays narrow basally, tapering to a narrow rounded distal part which is finger-like. Each of the plates on the oral surface has a grouping of 3 crowded mobile tapering spines in their centres, while those of the dorsal surface have a dense group of short tubercles. It is a greenish gray colour on the dorsal sid with a large, irregular, purplish brown blotch in the centre which is surrounded by red spots at the bases of the arms.

The subtribe Pronophilina can be separated from other American satyrines by the following three external morphological synapomorphies: eyes always densely hairy; hindwing cross vein m1-m2 always curved or angled basally into the discal cell; maximum length of hindwing discal cell equal to or longer than half the total maximum length of the hindwing (excluding tails). These characters separate the Pronophilina sensu stricto from other Neotropical montane satyrids previously included in the group. This arrangement has been adopted by Lamas, but phylogenetic analysis based on molecular data suggests a larger, more inclusive delimitation of Pronophilina is needed. The background color of most species is dominated by brown, dark gray or black, with few and slight distinctive features in the wings, but some species show colorful variations between white, yellow, orange, red and iridescent blue.

In Bolton's (1994) key to genera, Megalomyrmex keys in multiple places because of variability in mandibular dentition. Nevertheless, the genus has a distinctive habitus: the antenna is 12-segmented with a 3-segmented club; the general integument is smooth and shiny without coarse sculpture or dull areas; the promesonotum is evenly arched, without promesonotal groove; the propodeum is usually smoothly curved between dorsal and posterior faces, at most with blunt, broad-based tubercles, and never with spines; and the hind tibial spur is simple. In short, the workers look like a Solenopsis with Pheidole antennae. The mandibular dentition varies from a simple set of 5 similar teeth on the masticatory margin, gradually diminishing in size basally, to a condition with 2 large apical teeth followed by up to 12 small denticles.

The ground colour is white with strong silky gloss, the lines grey, seldom strongly expressed, on the other hand usually all present, thus numbering five on the forewing and four on the hindwing; the outermost line (distal shading of subterminal) the oftenest absent; all except the median are parallel with the distal margin, but slightly wavy; the median on the forewing is usually somewhat oblique, but occasionally almost parallel with the others; that of the hindwing runs straighter across the wing, instead of following the curve of the strongly convex distal margin. Cellspots and terminal line wanting or rarely the former present, minute; fringe usually with a series of minute black dots at the base, which are sometimes in part, more rarely entirely obsolete. Forewing beneath often with a smoky suffusion, either basally or all over; median and postmedian lines present, often well developed; a small discal dot present. Hindwing beneath white, with discal dot and postmedian line.

Dracunculus is the most supported and resolved subgenus of Artemisia, which includes Artemisia dracunculus L., known as the cooking spice tarragon. Chloroplast and ribosomal DNA sequence analysis in 2011 supported monophyly with two clades, one of which includes some North American endemic species as well as most species of Europe and Asia, while the second clade includes just A. salsoloides and A. Tanaitica, found in Eastern Europe and Siberia to the Western Himalayas (Pellicer et al, 2011). This study places Dracunculus as one of the more recent subgenera within Artemisia, situating A. Salisoides more basally on the tree, with North American endemic groups such as the sagebrushes having derived on the other end of a split from a common ancestor with Dracunculus. Formerly proposed genera Mausolea, Neopallasia and Turaniphytum are now argued to be within the subgenus Dracunculus due to ribosomal and chloroplast DNA evidence, with further species resolved as sister groups to Dracunculus due to phytochemical relationships.
