However, their general structure is one of the characteristics that define them as a whole. Every crustacean has an exoskeleton, a segmented body, eyes that usually sit atop stalks, four or more pairs of legs, a set of antennae, two pairs of maxillae for chewing and an open circulatory ...
While these particular animals embody many of the usual crustacean characteristics, they represent only a tiny fraction of this remarkable assemblage of animals (Figure 1). Crustaceans belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which is usually subdivided into four major groups: Crustaceans, insects, myriapods ...

Changes in salinity and oxygen tension can modify the uptake characteristics from solution particularly in the case of interstitial water within sediments. Infaunal amphipods have direct contact with the sediment and the bioavailabilities of trace metals depend on the strength of the metal binding ...
Defining evolutionary origins is a means of understanding an organism's position within the integrated web of living beings, and not only to trace characteristics back in time, but also to project forward in an attempt to reveal relationships with more recently evolved forms. Both the vertebrates ...
As with criterion 6, there are also characteristics of the plants' body that a priori exclude plants from fulfilling points (a) and (b) of criterion 8: the ability to self- administer analgesics or anaesthetics requires manipulating objects, while the ability to travel to places where ...
METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Automation of ID mapping requires bespoke methodological adjustments tailored to the epidemiological characteristics of different types of diseases. Diseases were therefore grouped into 33 clusters based upon taxonomic divisions and shared epidemiological characteristics. Disability-...

To date viruses have generally been tentatively assigned to families based upon morphological and developmental characteristics and their location of infection within the host cell. Often nucleotide sequence information is unavailable. Some of these viral infections have caused well-documented devastating ...
