As for the many species and varieties of angiosperms, horticultural or natural, with their pleiomeric and meiomeric floral members, petaloid stamens, staminoid petals, carpelloid stamens, etc., it would be difficult to assert absolutely whether we were concerned with disorganizations or neo-organizations.

1970, Claude Wilson Wardlaw, Cellular Differentiation in Plants: And Other Essays, page 141:

In the Celastrales and structurally similar Orders such as Rutales Malvales, Sapindales, the gynoecium appears, in different genera, to be either truly compound (connate ovaries derived from two or more female sporoclades) or falsely compound (expanded or pleiomeric derived from one female sporoclade only).

1983, P. J. Faulks, Early Ancestry and Evolution of the Higher Plants, page 60:

(botany) Having more than the usual number or variety of structures.

The great variety of nucleotide conformations which occur in these large asymmetric units has prompted us to describe them as pleiomeric, a term used in botany to describe whorls having more than the usual number of structures.

1983, Struther Arnott, R. Chandrasekaran, A.K. Banerjee, Rungen He, J.K. Walker, “New wrinkles on polynucleotide duplexes”, in Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, volume 1, number 2:

spectraplakin

Thus it is possible that in Schwann cells, Dst is involved in any or all of intermediate filament organization, basement membrane formation and mediation of signaling of specific integrin complexes—none of which are present in OLs.

In mammals, a second member of the spectraplakin exists: microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1 (Macf1; variantly actin crosslinking family 7/Acf7).

progenote

It is sometimes assumed that the concepts of LUCA and progenote are the same by definition; more correctly, it is hypothesised that LUCA was a progenote.

Inaccuracy of information transfer would manifest itself in two ways that strongly shape the nature of the progenote. It would severely limit the number of different genes the progenote could carry, and the generally lower biological specificity would then mean that overall, fine-tuned, feed-back mechanisms that make the cell today the smooth functioning whole that it is, would be missing.

1986, D. S. Bendall, Evolution From Molecules to Men, →ISBN, page 223:

der

In the structure of the phylogenetic system, as in every hierarchical ordering, a sequence of ranks between the taxa of the individual levels is necessarily linked with the sequence of hierarchical levels. Here the following law applies: the adelphotaxa of any given level of coordination have identical rank.

1987, Peter Ax, The phylogenetic system: the systematization of organisms on the basis of their phylogenesis:

When justifying the monophyly of system unities and working out their ground patterns, we usually, more or less immediately, draw upon the subordinated adelphotaxa.

semaphoront

2024, Andea Cau, "A Unified Framework for Predatory Dinosaur Macroevolution", Bollettino della Società Paleontologica Italiana 63, page iii.
[…] coding such characters for taxonomic units based uniquely on immature specimens is believed to be misleading, because it cannot be excluded that the states expressed by the immature semaphoronts differ from those expressed by the mature semaphoronts of the same taxon.

ventrite

The plesiomorphic condition of abdominal ventrites II and III in Rhagovelia is interpreted to be one in which these ventrites are flat or broadly arched and of form similar to ventrites IV-VI.

1997, Dan Avery Polhemus, Systematics of the Genus Rhagovelia:

A rather widespread modification affecting the ventrites of beetles is what is known as “connation”, involving a reduction or complete loss of mobility at the junction between particular ventrites, usually starting with the basal ones.

2013, R. A. Crowson, The Biology of the Coleoptera, page 61:

Ventrites that are fused together, as evidenced by shallow or obsolete sutures, are said to be fused or connate, while “free” ventrites are those that are separated by distinct membranes.

postpedicel

From post- + pedicel.

...at least the multisegmented arista is beyond the pedicel in addition to the large antennomere, and postpedicel is thus ambiguous and lacking in precision.
