pleuronectid

2006, Larry G. Allen, Daniel J. Pondella II, Chapter 4: Ecological Classification, Larry G. Allen, Michael H. Horn (editors), The Ecology of Marine Fishes: California and Adjacent Waters, 105,
The rockfishes also dominated both the deep northern and southern habitats along with pleuronectids.

Two fish species were found in the diet, with juvenile pleuronectids the most common.

2008, M. Elliott, K. L. Hemingway, M. J. Costello, S. Duhamel, K. Hostens, M. Labropoulou, S. Marshall, H. Winkler, “Chapter 4: Links between Fish and Other Trophic Levels”, in M. Elliott, Krystal L. Hemingway, editors, Fishes in Estuaries, page 152:

The dynamics of those fishes that supported extensive multi-national fisheries in northern temperate and boreal waters (mainly gadids, clupeoids and pleuronectids) became a research priority (Beverton 1992).

As will be repeatedly seen in many Neuroptera families, psychopsids had a wider distribution during the Mesozoic and Tertiary.

2005, David Grimaldi, Evolution of the Insects, page 342:

While many fossil psychopsids were recorded from the Mesozoic, few representatives have been described from the Tertiary.

2011, Yuanyuan Peng, Vladimir N. Makarkin, Xiaodong Wang, Dong Ren, “A new fossil silky lacewing genus (Neuroptera, Psychopsidae) from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of China”, in Dmitry Shcherbakov, editor, Advances in the Systematics of Fossil and Modern Insects, page 218:

pulicid

We do not question the corollaries of Jordan's postulate, namely that vermipsyllid fleas never had ctenidia whereas comb-less pulicids and hystrichopsyllids are the descendants of comb-bearing fleas (Holland 1959).

1967, Bernice P. Bishop Museum Entomology Department, Pacific Insects, page 643:

These introduced pulicid fleas are cosmopolitan, having also been introduced by human transport to all continents except Antarctica (Lewis 1995).

2001, Diego P. Vázquez, Daniel Simberloff, “Chapter 6: Taxonomic Selectivity in Surviving Introduced Insects in the United States”, in Julie L. Lockwood, Michael L. McKinney, editors, Biotic Homogenization, page 114:

Two possible, not mutually exclusive, scenarios can be suggested. In the first, ancestors of the dipodine genus Jaculus dispersed to Africa (Black & Krishtalka, 1986) where they were presumably colonized by pulicids. In the second scenario, pulicids colonized jerboas switching from Gerbillinae which originated in Africa and dispersed to Asia no later than in the Miocene (Wessels, 1998).

1990, Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada, numbers 151-155, page 5:

When the lower lethal temperatures of the chrysomelid beetle Phyllodecta laticollis or of the pythid beetle Pytho depressus is plotted against the concentrations of solutes in their hemolymph, a steep regression line appears.

1999, L. Somme, “Cold adaptations in terrestrial invertebrates”, in Rosa Margesin, Franz Schinner, editors, Cold-Adapted Organisms: Ecology, Physiology, Enzymology and Molecular Biology, page 151:

Finally, pythids and belids are Batesian mimics, apparently lacking any chemical defenses.

1975, George O. Poinar, Jr., Entomogenous Nematodes: A Manual and Host List of Insect-Nematode Associations, page 59:

The phylogenetic relationship of C. elegans and other rhabditids reviews what is known so far about the closer relationships within the rhabditids and within genus Caenorhabditis in particular.

2014, N. G. Ravichandra, Horticultural Nematology, Springer India, page 17:

However, the small rhabditids are actually much more prolific because of the speed at which they complete their life cycles.

It is perhaps instructive to note that tropical riverine batagurids, although more similar to other river-dwelling lineages in reproductive patterns than to other semi-aquatic and terrestrial batagurids, still tend to have lower fecundities and bigger eggs relative to their body sizes than do the other groups (e.g., riverine emydids, trionychids, and podocnemids) (Moll & Moll, 1990).

2004, Don Moll, The Ecology, Exploitation and Conservation of River Turtles, page 46:

Loss of scutes (and corresponding loss of sucli^([sic]) on the underlying shell plates) is widely regarded as a derived condition that has occurred independently in trionychids, advanced carettochelyids (Carettochelyidae), and derived sea turtles such as dermochelyids and protostegids (e.g., Meylan 1988; Hirayama and Chitoku 1996).
