What's the difference between myomorph and suborder?

Myomorph


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Myomorpha.

Example Sentences:

  • (10) It is also suggested that claims of large differences in the rate of molecular evolution between guinea pigs and myomorphs may have been exaggerated in many cases as a result of an erroneous phylogenetic position for the guinea pig.
  • (11) As these animals regularly participate in the feeding cycle of the ubiquitous wood tick Ixodes ricinus, the main vector of the tick-borne meningoencephalitis virus, it is infered that they (the hare being excluded in this study), apart from myomorphous mammals, play an important role in the transmission chain of the tick-borne meningoencephalitis virus in the respective natural foci of this zoonosis.
  • (12) In myomorphs and sciumorphs, the orbitoparietal and orbitonasal commissures are present.

  • (15) b) The manner in which host migration interacts with the parasite is very complex and a few examples will be considered, mainly from the caviomorphs, the sciuromorphs and the myomorphs.
  • (16) Rather, the evolutionary lineage leading to the guinea pig seems to have branched off prior to the divergence among myomorphs, lagomorphs, primates, chiropterans, artiodactyls, and carnivores.
  • (17) If true, then the myomorphs and the caviomorphs do not constitute a natural clade, and the Caviomorpha (or the Histricomorpha) should be elevated in taxonomical rank and regarded as a separate mammalian order distinct from the Rodentia.
  • (18) Head plus body length (HBL), tail length (TL) and body weight (BW) were measured on two species of small myomorph rodents, Mus musculus and Peromyscus leucopus, throughout adult life.
  • (19) Salivary amylase zymograms of five myomorphic rodents are compared and evolutionary implications are discussed.
  • (20) A most parsimonious tree of the myomorph rodent RNase shows that after the divergence of rat and mouse, the ribonuclease of rat accumulated substitutions at a rate 2.5--4.3 times as high as the rates in other branches of the tree and 23 times as high as the average rate in the Bovidae ribonuclease evolution.

Suborder


Definition:

  • (n.) A division of an order; a group of genera of a little lower rank than an order and of greater importance than a tribe or family; as, cichoraceous plants form a suborder of Compositae.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The virus species should carry the name of the family, super-family, suborder, or order naturally infected by this virus.
  • (2) Although the camel belongs to the suborder Artiodactyla, the greater omentum exhibits a striking similarity to that of Perissodactyla.
  • (3) These results strongly suggest that (a) the vascular compartment is important in the regulation of intra-islet cellular interactions and further suggest that (b) the order of islet cellular perfusion and interaction is from the B cell core outward to the mantle, and (c) the mantle is further subordered with the majority of D cells downstream or distal to the majority of A cells.
  • (4) Since the artiodactyl suborders diverged in the mid-Eocene some 50 million years ago, the fact that representatives of some of them show no differences in their cytochromes c (cow, sheep, and hog), while another exhibits as many as three such differences, verifies that even in relatively closely related lines of descent the rate at which cytochrome c changes in the course of evolution is not constant.
  • (5) However, suborders specificity relationship could easily be detected.
  • (6) In the present study the comparative ultrastructure of the definitive chorio-allantoic placental barrier has been studied in considerable detail in six species of bats, representing six different families and both suborders of Chiroptera, by electron microscopy, and these species illustrate different kinds of interhaemal membranes met with among bats.
  • (7) The suborder Prosimii appears to be a paraphyletic taxon, based on the retention of numerous primitive character states in tarsiers and strepsirhines.
  • (8) For example, hummingbirds and swifts, which are usually considered as two suborders of Apodiformes, are unique among the birds tested in having an enzyme that moves 63 percent as fast as the chicken enzyme.
  • (9) The organization of the fiber layer in the retinas of fishes belonging to the suborder Osteoglossoidei appears to be unique amongst bony fishes.
  • (10) Necropsy revealed extensive degeneration and inflammation in the lumbosacral part of the spinal cord, caused by a nematode larva of the suborder Strongylina, probably L4 or L5 of Strongylus vulgaris.

  • (12) If the primate suborder Haplorhini (anthropoids, omomyids, tarsiids) is monophyletic, the phylogenetic position of Shoshonius requires that anthropoids and Tarsius diverged by at least the early Eocene, some 15 million years before the first appearance of anthropoids in the fossil record.

  • (18) Descriptions of the sporogonic and gametogonic stages of this coccidian are given and compared with the suborders Adeleina and Eimeriina which either have developmental stages in invertebrates, isosporan-type oocysts or have been reported to be mechanically (passively) transmitted by mites.
