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.

In the laboratory, however, larval dilarids have been reared on a variety of disabled, sofy-bodied insect prey (MacLeod and Spiegler 1961).

1992, Diomedes Quintero, Annette Aiello, editors, Insects of Panama and Mesoamerica: Selected Studies, page 450:

Given the abundance of Early Cretaceous records for other families in the dilarid clade as well as the basal phylogenetic position of pleasing lacewings within this lineage, the dilarids are presumably rather ancient, perhaps relict today.

2005, David Grimaldi, Evolution of the Insects, page 353:

The adult morphological data suggest that these events were followed by the separation of two lineages—one that includes the Coniopterygidae + the dilarid-like families and another encompassing the remainder of the hemerobiiform families and another encompassing the remainder of the hemerobiiform families + the Myrmeleontiformia.

2009, Catherine A. Tauber, Maurice J. Tauber, Gilberto S. Albuquerque, “Neuroptera (Lacewings, Antlions)”, in Vincent H. Resh, Ring T. Cardé, editors, Encyclopedia of Insects, page 701:

1983, Richard E. White, Beetles, Peterson Field Guides, page 194:

In nature, dermestids can be found on old, dry carcasses, in bird and mammal nests, while the adults of some species visit flowers, where they feed on pollen and nectar.

1999, M. V. Reddy, Management of Tropical Agroecosystems and the Beneficial Soil Biota, page 218:

Enchytraeids probably consume and further process larger fecal pellets and castings of soil macrofauna, such as collembolans and earthworms (Zachariae, 1984; Rusek, 1985).

2006, Eldor A. Paul, Soil Microbiology, Ecology and Biochemistry, page 177:

The exclusion of enchytraeids from many treatises and aquatic oligochaetes keys cannot be justified as approximately one third of the total enchytraeid species (Martin et al. 2008) inhabit aquatic habitats.

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).

1982, L. D. Harris, G. B. Bowman, “6: Vertebrate predator subsystem”, in A. I. Breymeyer, George M. van Dyne, editors, Grasslands, Systems Analysis and Man, page 595:

A second potential problem is the geomyids in their phylogeny are linked more closely to the sciurids than to the muroids, yet several authorities suggest the geomyids should be placed among the muroidomopha (e.g. Eisenberg, 1981).

1999, J. R. Speakman, “The Cost of Living: Field Metabolic Rates of Small Mammals”, in A. H. Fitter, D. G. Raffaelli, editors, Advances in Ecological Research, volume 30, page 226:

grammicolepidid

1956, Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin, Volume 7, Division of Systematic Biology, Stanford University, page 91,
However, the peculiar Grammicolepididae may be rather closely allied to the Oreosomatidae, and the spikes or hooks seen on the sides of some grammicolepidids (see especially Barnard, 1940, p. 11 and plate, on Xenolepidichthys americanus in South Africa) may be the homologues of the "hills" of Oreosoma.

Only zanclids, caproids, luvarids, menids, grammicolepidids and perhaps siganids and leiognathids have larvae that could be confused with acanthurids.

Trixoscelids are scarcely distinguishable from heleomyzids.

1979, Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada:

The larvae of a small fly called a heleomyzid were present in some numbers on the body, suggesting that the burial probably took place at the end of winter or in early spring because eggs laid before winter would not have survived to produce larvae.

hypochilid

Dr. Gertsch advised us that scorpions are remote relatives of spiders — no closer than a wasp is to a snout beetle — and that the rare ancient spider he nabbed was a hypochilid, dating back two hundred and fifty million years to the Carboniferous Age.

1953, The New Yorker, volume 29, number 3, page 33:

Their four booklungs linked these hypochilids with primitive mygalomorphs.
