spermatophore

The spermatophores begin to ejaculate immediately after leaving the penis and the whole process is completed in a very few seconds. Pulling the filament attached to the ejaculatory end of a spermatophore is all that is needed to start its ejaculation.

1989, Laurie J. Bryant, Non-dinosaurian Lower Vertebrates Across the Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary in Northeastern Montana, Geological Sciences: Volume 134, University of California Press, page 17,
A second distinct acipenserid morphotype occurs in the Hell Creek and Tullock formations. It is not found in the Lance Formation in Wyoming, although acipenserids are so rare in the Lance Formation that this is possibly the result of sampling error.

While acipenserid outgroups lack any extensive scalation, the most distinctive hallmark of acipenserids is their scutes (Character 1).

1997, E. K. Findeis, “Osteology and phylogenetic relationships of sturgeons (Acipenseridae)”, in Vadim J. Birstein, John R. Waldman, William E. Bemis, editors, Sturgeon Biodiversity and Conservation, page 121:

anabantid

Again, the emotions of jealousy and rivalry are manifested to such an extent by the anabantid betta pugnax of Siam, that the species has been cultivated by the inhabitants of the country for the sport they furnish, which for them vies in interest with the cock-fights and bull-fights of the Spanish peoples.

1978, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Biological Services, Development of Fishes of the Mid-Atlantic Bight, [page 125],
Accepting this classification, the bothids can be distinguished from the pleuronectids and the soles by usually having both eyes on the left side of the head.

Bothids are left-eyed flounders, that is, both eyes are found on the left side of the adults after metamorphosing from the more traditional one-eye-per-side mode as post-larvae.

1994, G. H. Burgess, S. H. Smith, E. D. Lane, “11: Fishes of the Cayman Islands”, in M. A. Brunt, J. E. Davies, editors, The Cayman Islands: Natural History and Biogeography, volume 71, page 222:

balbarid

His research, which has focused on the few partial kangaroo skeletons found, has provided insights into why the bulungamayine kangaroos were so successful while the balbarids vanished.

2004, Tim Flannery, Country: A Continent, a Scientist & Kangaroo, Text Publishing, page 118:

The other interesting feature of the balbarids is that they may not have hopped because the forelimbs and hindlimbs were of similar length and they had the first digit on each hind foot, similar to the Musky Rat-kangaroo.

2010, Stephen Jackson, Karl Vernes, Kangaroo: A portrait of an extraordinary marsupial, Allen & Unwin, page 15:

As in the late Oligocene, the most diverse macropodoids of the early Miocene are balbarids.

However, numerous studies have been conducted on chrysopids, given that lacewing larvae are major oophagous predators of the olive moth (Montiel Bueno, 1981; Ramos et al., 1983a, b).

Still, the most studied taxa within this order are the chrysopids, and most adult green lacewings are glucophagous to some degree.

coccinellid

If the coccinellid captures one or more aphids, the total time spent on the plant is increased by the time taken to eat the prey, which is proportional to the biomass of the prey.
The numbers of aphids and coccinellids counted on the plot are shown in figure 5.05.

1986, H. G. Andrewartha, The Ecological Web: More on the Distribution and Abundance of Animals, page 90:

Thus aphids are an important factor for coccinellids, but other issues are involved as well. The correlation between aphid and coccinellid abundance is significant, but shows such a high variance that no predictions are possible.

1998, Wolfgang Nentwig, “Weedy Plant Species and Their Beneficial Arthropods: Potential for Manipulation in Field Crops”, in Charles Hammond Pickett, Robert Lyman Bugg, editors, Enhancing Biological Control: Habitat Management to Promote Natural Enemies, page 60:

The above comparative account reveals coccinellids to be more voracious, with both adults and larvae predatory in nature. Also, coccinellids are more fecund than both chrysopids and syrphids and have a longer oviposition period.

Chamaeleonids have carried the trend further; nearly all species have lost or greatly reduced vomeronasal and olfactory systems [Parsons, 1970; Gabe and Saint Girons, 1976] and rely, instead, on vision.

1993, S. Karger, Brain, Behavior and Evolution, volume 41, page 133:

Iguanids apparently were isolated in Africa by epicontinental seas and gave rise to chamaeleonids in the west and agamids in the east; the scincomorphs radiated in Laurussia, giving rise to the teiids in North America and lacertids in Europe.

2007, Thomas T. Veblen, Kenneth R. Young, Antony R. Orme, editors, The Physical Geography of South America, page 119:

Chamaeleonids’ ears have simplified over time, and they are not visible externally, being covered with skin and scales. Unlike other lizards, chamaeleonids possess neither an exterior aperture nor a tympanic membrane, but they share some skeletal and fluid structure similarities with snakes.

2009, François Le Berre, Richard D. Bartlett, The Chameleon Handbook, page 31:

2003, J. Legg, D. Gerling, P. Neuenschwander, “6: Biological Control of Whiteflies in Sub-Saharan Africa”, in Peter Neuenschwander, Christian Borgemeister, Juergen Langewald, editors, Biological Control in IPM Systems in Africa, page 92:

Because of their small size and cryptic nature, coniopterygids are generally overlooked and thus considered rare.[…]The life histories of very few coniopterygid species are known.

2009, Catherine A. Tauber, Maurice J. Tauber, Gilberto S. Albuquerque, “Neuroptera (Antlions, Lacewings)”, in Vincent H. Resh, Ring T. Cardé, editors, Encyclopedia of Insects, page 705:

1989, Ronald J. McGinley, A Catalog and Review of Immature Apoidea (Hymenoptera), page 5:

Obligate parasitism of other bees has arisen in halictids, megachilids, anthophorids, apids, and perhaps a few colletids and ctenoplectrids.

1989, David W. Roubik, Ecology and Natural History of Tropical Bees, published 1992, page 249:

Melittid bees have “hair felt” patches on their legs that take up floral oils by capillarity, while the unusual ctenoplectrids have abdominal oil-mopping hairs.

ctenodactylid

Miocene and Pliocene ctenodactylids are known from Asia and Africa. In the Oligocene forms cheek-teeth were brachydont, and all known fossil ctenodactylids retained P 4 and p 4, with these teeth showing various stages of reduction.

1967, Sydney Anderson, Recent Mammals of the World: A Synopsis of Families, page 30:

According to Luckett (1985), Bugge (1985), and George (1985), ctenodactylids are an early offshoot of the hystricognathous rodents. Beintema et al. (1991), stating that no molecular data were available, investigated tissues, blood, and proteins and concluded that it was not yet possible to determine whether ctrnodactylids and hystricognathous rodents "share a common ancestor or are located on separate branches."

2005, Fritz Dieterlen, “Family Ctenodactylidae”, in Don E. Wilson, DeeAnn M. Reeder, editors, Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, 3rd edition, volume 12, page 1536:

Ctenodactylids share many derived characters with the Hystricognathi, but ctenodactylids retain many primitive features and are considered (along with the Diatomyidae) a possible sister group to hystriognath rodents (Dietrlen 2005; Huchon et al. 2007).
