What's the difference between aculeous and aculeus?
Aculeous
Definition:
(a.) Aculeate.
Example Sentences:
(1) The action of crude venoms of four aculeate species: Apis mellifera, Vespa crabro, Vespula germanica and Vespula vulgaris on human erythrocytes was investigated in order to determine the lytic and phospholipase activity of different aculeate venoms and their ability to induce red blood cell hemolysis.
(2) It notifies that: Firstly, patients only make an appointment with the dentist particularly when advanced lesions occur (92.76% of cases) as unbearable painful affections (acule pulpal inflammatory, phoenix abscess); bulky cellulitis.
(3) Parsimony analysis revealed strong evidence for monophyly of the aculeates and the terebrants.
(4) Finally, the importance of haploidiploidy in the origins of eusociality is discounted; the virtually unique biology of aculeate Hymenoptera would seem to be of much greater importance.
(5) When the intakes of protein recommended as safe by the Food aculated from obligatory nitrogen losses per se, the recommended levels appear to be only marginally adequate.
Aculeus
Definition:
(n.) A prickle growing on the bark, as in some brambles and roses.
(n.) A sting.
Example Sentences:

(2) Specifically, when the lancets of a vespid aculeus are in a retracted position, the width of the smooth-edged stylet extends beyond the barbed edges of the lancets, forming a protective sheath.
(3) The exposure of barbs on retracted honey bee lancets and the presence of additional barbs on the dorsal tip of the stylet would make withdrawal of a honey bee aculeus from a victim's flesh more difficult than withdrawal of a vespid aculeus, in which the barbs of retracted lancets are shielded and no dorsal barbs are present.
