It is a predator ant species. The queen ant is nearly the size of worker ants. Bullet ants are some of the most painful ofhymenopteransbecause their venom, unlike most otherhymenopterans, is a neurotoxin. Ant’s sting is however thought to be an effective defense against predators. They ar...
Interestingly, Aetosaurus and Stenomyti form successive sister taxa of this clade rather than fall within an aetosaurine grade of basal aetosaurs, as suggested by previous authors. The resemblance of Paratypothorax and Aetosaurus in many cranial features, their close relationship as suggested by ...

This position of the pelvic fins gives the perciforms an advantage in maneuvering over short distances. The pelvic fins are lacking in some perciforms; in others, such as gobies, they are united to form a cuplike sucker; in the gouramis the pelvic fin may be drawn out into long ...
The most important and commonly injured of these nerves travels through the L5/S1 space, which is more commonly known as the sciatic nerve. When this nerve is damaged or impinged it leads to pain and numbness down the legs hindering much of an individual's way of life [26]. 1.5. ...
There is a circumferential wrap of transverse fibers that surrounds both ventricles—called a basal loop—which compresses and rotates the global heart, and predominantly forms the RV free wall [25]. The second is the muscular helix that resides within an apical loop nestled within its ...
Nevertheless, the growth of the inflorescence stem can be reduced and even stopped by the abiotic stresses that occur during its formation. For example, a drought treatment applied just after the onset of flowering can cause an early arrest of floral development, leading to sterility [30]. The...
A transparent material allows us to see through the root thickness during each step, and find the more conservative way not only to locate the root canal orifice but also to choose the best shaping, irrigation and filling technique, becoming at the same time an exact pre-view of the future...
