What's the difference between hexapod and hexapodous?
Hexapod
Definition:
(a.) Having six feet.
(n.) An animal having six feet; one of the Hexapoda.
Example Sentences:
(1) The cercal system, which may have evolved with the first terrestrial hexapods, reaches its zenith in the orthopteroid insects, but was replaced in holometabolan insects by visual startle mechanisms with descending giant interneurons.
(2) Maximum parsimony analyses and monophyly testing within arthropods indicate that myriapods (millipedes and centipedes) form a sister group to all other assemblages, whereas crustaceans (shrimps and lobsters) plus hexapods (insects and allied groups) form a well-supported monophyletic group.
(3) Recaptured migrants with infected ticks indicate that they transmit B. burgdorferi to hexapod larvae.
(4) Parsimony analysis further suggests that onychophorans form a sister group to chelicerates (spiders and scorpions) and crustaceans plus hexapods, but this relationship is not well supported by monophyly testing.
(5) The vectors are the hexapod larvae of Rhipicephalus sanguineus, R. turanicus and H. truncatum; the filarial infective stages appear during the larval-nymph moult of the vector (11 days at 26 degrees C).
(6) Histological and ultrastructural analysis of the development of C. roussilhoni--a filarial parasite of A. africanus with skin-dwelling microfilariae--in the hexapod, larva of R. sanguineus.
