(1) This generates the characteristic pattern of bone marrow distribution in adult pigeons, which shows hemopoietic bone marrow in ulna, radius, femur, tibiotarsus, scapula, furcula, and the caudal vertebrae.
(2) With the inhibition of the replicative furcula growth and total protein synthesis (imbalance state), the SSB protein function associated with the third domain and responsible for certain modifications in DNA polymerase II activity is realized.
(3) In four cases the sternum and in two at a time the furcula and the scapula were affected.
Springtail
Definition:
(n.) Any one of numerous species of small apterous insects belonging to the order Thysanura. They have two elastic caudal stylets which can be bent under the abdomen and then suddenly extended like a spring, thus enabling them to leap to a considerable distance. See Collembola, and Podura.
Example Sentences:
(1) Results indicate that a 20-ng dose of cefodizime on alternate days may shorten an infradian period (of molt) in the springtail.
(2) A third-generation cephalosporine, cefodizime, was tested in two experiments on the springtail, Folsomia candida, used as a model of infradian rhythmicity.
(3) in snails, from 3 to 0.6 micrograms g-1, in springtails from 5 to 105; in beetles (Amara fusca) from 3 to 1, in spiders from 13 to 11, and in harvestman from 31 to 77 micrograms g-1.
(4) The effect of shifts at different intervals of a regimen of quasioptimal and nonoptimal ambient temperatures alternating at 12-hr intervals was tested on the springtail, Folsomia candida.
(5) Our own studies of Folsomia candida at 23 degrees C show that the incidence of molting in 24 springtails observed at 3-hr intervals for 17 days is characterized by a prominent circadian rhythmicity and an infradian periodicity with a period of about 3 days.
(6) Microflora (bacteria and fungi), microfauna (including nematodes and the protozoa living in the water films around soil pores) and mesofauna (such as mites and springtails), can't possibly be 'transplanted' from one place to another and areas rich in obvious ecological value such as forests are likely to also be high in diversity and complexity at this level.
(7) A reanalysis of data published earlier indicates that the springtail, Folsomia candida, kept in continuous darkness, lengthens its intermolt interval (stadia) with age.
