In specimens of 10-19mm radii, [[Rissoidae|rissoid]] and [[Eatoniellidae|eatoniellid]] molluscs compose 46% of the food source, with [[Trochidae|trochids]] and [[Chiton|chitons]] a mere 10%.

Chitons and trochids remain in the diet until radius exceeds 159mm. Increased radii coincides with an increase in spiral-shell [[Gastropoda|gastropod]] and chiton consumption. These types of prey would normally be too large for a small seastar to consume.

This change in diet is vital to survival and longevity because it results in little to no competition between individuals of different sizes, and may be a considerable factor in the ecological success of this starfish.&lt;ref&gt; Daniel.G.Black 1988<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Taxonbar|from=Q2231780}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Asteriidae]]<br /> [[Category:Animals described in 1872]]<br /> [[Category:Echinoderms of New Zealand]]</div> Nickwilso https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=T.I.&diff=1130651266 T.I. 2022-12-31T07:28:27Z <p>Nickwilso: /* Lil' Flip */ added reference to Beef 3 doco (2005)</p> <hr /> <div>{{short description|American rapper and actor from Georgia}}<br /> {{For|the New Zealand cricketer|Clifford Harris}}<br /> {{About|the rapper||TI (disambiguation)}}<br /> {{pp-blp|small=yes}}<br /> <br /> {{Use mdy dates|date=May 2019}}<br /> {{Infobox person<br /> | name = T.I.<br /> | image = T.I. performing in concert, wearing a Phoenix Suns cap (cropped).jpg<br /> | caption = T.I. performing in 2012<br /> | birth_name = Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.<br /> | birth_date = {{nowrap|{{Birth date and age|mf=yes|1980|9|25}}}}&lt;ref name=&quot;Allmusic&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ti-mn0000001418|title=T.I.|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=April 19, 2017}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | birth_place = [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], U.S.<br /> | occupation = {{flatlist|<br /> * Rapper<br /> * songwriter <br /> * record executive<br /> * [[T.I. discography#Production discography|record producer]]<br /> * [[T.I. videography#Filmography|actor]]<br /> * stand-up comedian<br /> }}<br /> | agent = Jason Geter&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Jason Geter Interview: On Managing T.I. &amp; Career Journey - DJBooth|url=https://djbooth.net/features/2020-02-13-jason-geter-interview-ti-manager-heavy-sound-labs|access-date=2020-10-19|website=djbooth.net}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | years_active = 1999–present<br /> | spouse = {{marriage|[[Tameka Cottle]]|2010}}<br /> | title = {{Indented plainlist|<br /> *Co-founder of [[A.K.O.O.

In the video, a man wearing a shirt which said &quot;Trap House&quot; was being beaten. T.I. mistook the logo to refer to &quot;Trap Muzik&quot;. [[G-Unit]] artist [[Young Buck]] asked fellow [[Southern rap]]pers T.I. and Ludacris to appear on his new record on the track &quot;Stomp&quot;. T.I. recorded a verse which contained a line that Young Buck considered to be an underhanded snub towards Ludacris: &quot;Me gettin' beat down? / That's ludicrous.&quot; Young Buck spoke to Ludacris about the verse, to maintain his neutrality in the controversy. Ludacris then recorded the verse that can be found on the album.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Reid|first=Shaheem|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1489952/20040804/young_buck.jhtml|title=Young Buck To 'Stomp' Out Luda/ T.I.

In an October 26, 2004 interview with ''HipHopDX.com'', T.I. said he'd heard comments about Flip's &quot;lyrical ability&quot; for a long time but told [[music journalist]] [[Bayer Mack]] he didn't speak on it because he &quot;wasn't raised like that&quot;.

The same day T.I. went on a [[Houston]], Texas radio station talking about the altercation.

In contrast with stable angina, unstable angina occurs suddenly, often at rest or with minimal exertion, or at lesser degrees of exertion than the individual's previous angina (&quot;crescendo angina&quot;). New-onset angina is also considered unstable angina, since it suggests a new problem in a coronary artery.<br /> <br /> ==Signs and symptoms==<br /> The cardinal symptom of critically decreased blood flow to the heart is chest pain, experienced as tightness around or over the chest and (often, but not always) radiating to the left arm and the left angle of the jaw. This may be associated with [[diaphoresis]] (sweating), [[nausea]] and [[vomiting]], as well as [[dyspnea|shortness of breath]]. In many cases, the sensation is &quot;atypical&quot;, with pain experienced in different ways or even being completely absent (which is more likely in female patients and those with [[diabetes mellitus|diabetes]]). Some may report [[palpitation]]s, anxiety or a [[sense of impending doom]] ([[angor animi]]) and a feeling of being acutely ill. The description of the chest discomfort as a pressure has little utility in aiding a diagnosis as it is not [[Sensitivity and specificity|specific]] for ACS.&lt;ref name=ER09&gt;{{cite journal |vauthors=Woo KM, Schneider JI |title=High-risk chief complaints I: chest pain--the big three |journal=Emerg.

Plaque rupture is responsible for 60% in ST elevated [[myocardial infarction]] (STEMI) while plaque erosion is responsible for 30% of the STEMI and vice versa for Non ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). In plaque rupture, the content of the plaque are lipid rich, collagen poor, with abundant inflammation which is [[macrophage]] predominant, and covered with a thin fibrous cap. Meanwhile, in plaque erosion, the plaque is rich with [[extracellular matrix]], [[proteoglycan]], [[glycoaminoglycan]], but without fibrous caps, no inflammatory cells, and no large lipid core. After the [[coronary arteries]] are unblocked, there is a risk of [[reperfusion injury]] due spreading inflammatory mediators throughout the body.

Risk of a normally functioning prosthesis being infected after a dental procedure is probably no higher than risk in patient with damaged native valves. However, [[Death|mortality]] and [[Disease|morbidity]] is much higher should prosthesis become infected. Patient with native valve disease can often stop or reduce their anticoagulants, but those with prosthetic valves should not discontinue anticoagulants without cardiological advice.

Although modern [[Artificial cardiac pacemaker|pacemakers]] are more resistant to electromagnetic interferences, caution is required when using electrical devices like ultrasound and electric scalpels that might interfere with pacemakers – especially the older models, since such devices developed in the last 30 years are bipolar and are generally not affected by the small electromagnetic fields generated by dental equipment. It is therefore important to know the type of pacemaker, the degree of electromagnetic protection of the generator, and the nature of the arrhythmia. If arrhythmia develops during dental treatment, the procedure should be suspended, oxygen is to be given, and the patient vital signs are to be assessed: body temperature (normal values: 35.5-37oC), pulse (normal values: 60-100 bpm), respiratory frequency (normal values in adults: 14-20 cycles or respirations per minute), blood pressure (normal values: systolic blood pressure under 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure under 90 mmHg).

[[Endocarditis]] is more likely to occur in patients who have previously had endocarditis and those with certain cardiac lesions. Risk of a normally functioning prosthesis being infected after a dental procedure is probably no higher than risk in patient with damaged native valves. However, [[Death|mortality]] and [[Disease|morbidity]] is much higher should prosthesis become infected. Patient with native valve disease can often stop or reduce their anticoagulants, but those with prosthetic valves should not discontinue anticoagulants without cardiological advice. Mechanical mitral valves are prone to [[thrombosis]], which cause [[Embolism|emboli]] if adequate anti-coagulation is not maintained, although short term modification may be possible.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last1=ROSE|first1=LOUIS F.|last2=MEALEY|first2=BRIAN|last3=MINSK|first3=LAURA|last4=COHEN|first4=D.

Although modern [[Artificial cardiac pacemaker|pacemakers]] are more resistant to electromagnetic interferences, caution is required when using electrical devices like ultrasound and electric scalpels that might interfere with pacemakers – especially the older models, since such devices developed in the last 30 years are bipolar and are generally not affected by the small electromagnetic fields generated by dental equipment. It is therefore important to know the type of pacemaker, the degree of electromagnetic protection of the generator, and the nature of the arrhythmia. If arrhythmia develops during dental treatment, the procedure should be suspended, oxygen is to be given, and the patient vital signs are to be assessed: body temperature (normal values: 35.5-37oC), pulse (normal values: 60-100 bpm), respiratory frequency (normal values in adults: 14-20 cycles or respirations per minute), blood pressure (normal values: systolic blood pressure under 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure under 90 mmHg).

The film concerns the exceedingly nice but somewhat dimwitted Doug Glatt (Scott), who unexpectedly finds personal and professional fulfillment after becoming the [[Enforcer (ice hockey)|enforcer]] for a minor league [[ice hockey]] team.<br /> <br /> Despite receiving largely positive reviews, the film was a [[box office bomb]], only earning $7 million against its $12 million budget.

Doug feels ostracized from society, especially since his father and brother are both successful [[physicians]]. Doug attends a [[minor league]] hockey game with his best friend Pat ([[Jay Baruchel]]). Pat taunts the visiting team during a [[fighting in ice hockey|fight]] and one of their players climbs into the stands, calling him a faggot. Doug, whose brother is [[gay]], steps in and easily beats up the opposing player. Soon after, Doug gets a phone call from the coach of his hometown team, who offers him a job as an [[enforcer (ice hockey)|enforcer]].<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, veteran enforcer and Doug's idol Ross &quot;The Boss&quot; Rhea ([[Liev Schreiber]]) is demoted to the minors after serving a 20-game suspension for slashing an opponent in the head from behind. Three years prior, Rhea hit and [[Concussion|concussed]] the highly skilled prospect Xavier Laflamme ([[Marc-André Grondin]]), who has had trouble recovering from the incident due to his fear of being hit again. As a result, Laflamme is still stuck in the minors, playing for the [[Halifax Regional Municipality|Halifax]] Highlanders. As Doug's reputation grows, eventually earning the nickname &quot;Doug the Thug,&quot; the Highlanders' coach Ronnie hires Doug to protect Laflamme and be his roommate.<br /> <br /> The Highlanders experience success with Doug as their enforcer, and he quickly becomes popular among fans and teammates, much to the chagrin of his parents and Laflamme, who loses ice time and the [[Alternate captain|alternate-captaincy]] to Doug. Meanwhile, Doug becomes romantically involved with Eva ([[Alison Pill]]), a hockey fan with a penchant for sleeping with players.<br /> <br /> With four games left on their schedule, the Highlanders need two wins to secure a playoff spot. On a road game in [[Quebec]], after an opposing player concusses Laflamme with a heavy hit, Doug savagely beats the player unconscious and is suspended for the next game against Rhea and the [[St. John's, Newfoundland|St. John's]] Shamrocks. Doug encounters Rhea at a [[diner]], where Rhea dismisses Doug's belief that he is a hockey player, insisting that they are both &quot;goons&quot;. Though Rhea acknowledges Doug's physical prowess and gives Doug his respect, Rhea warns him that if they ever meet on the ice, he will &quot;lay him the fuck out.&quot; The Highlanders, with Doug suspended and Laflamme hospitalized, lose to the Shamrocks. The aging captain of the Highlanders, an inexperienced fighter, challenges Ross to a fight, Ross offering a chance to back out but the player denies it, and Ross easily defeats him.<br /> <br /> Doug reaches out to Laflamme and promises him he will always protect him on the ice; the incident touches Laflamme, who reconsiders his animosity towards Doug. In their next game, the Highlanders lead 1–0 thanks to strong teamwork between Doug and Laflamme. In the final seconds, Doug blocks a slapshot with his face and his ankle is injured in the ensuing scramble. The Highlanders win, but need a win against Rhea and the Shamrocks in their last game for a playoff spot.<br /> <br /> Eva breaks up with her boyfriend to be with Doug, asserting that Doug is who she's really in love with. Doug later allows her now-ex-boyfriend to beat him up, believing that he deserves it for coming between them.<br /> <br /> After two periods, the Shamrocks are beating the Highlanders 2–0. Rhea and Doug mutually agree to fight in the third period. Although Rhea manages to knock him down when Doug re-breaks his recently injured ankle, Doug refuses to back down and eventually emerges victorious, knocking Rhea's tooth out. Ross smiles at seeing his tooth, satisfied that he lost to someone he considered a worthy opponent. Eva and his teammates help a seriously injured Doug off the ice and Laflamme, inspired by Rhea's defeat, scores a [[hat-trick#Variations|natural hat trick]], giving the Highlanders a 3–2 lead. As the game enters its final minute, Eva comforts Doug in the locker room as he comments, &quot;I think I nailed him.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {{castlist|<br /> * [[Seann William Scott]] as Doug &quot;The Thug&quot; Glatt<br /> * [[Liev Schreiber]] as Ross &quot;The Boss&quot; Rhea<br /> * [[Alison Pill]] as Eva<br /> * [[Jay Baruchel]] as Pat<br /> * [[Marc-André Grondin]] as Xavier Laflamme<br /> * [[Eugene Levy]] as Dr. Glatt<br /> * [[David Paetkau]] as Ira Glatt<br /> * [[Kim Coates]] as Coach Ronnie Hortense<br /> * [[Richard Clarkin]] as Gord Ogilvey<br /> * [[Jonathan Cherry]] as Goalie Marco &quot;Belchie&quot; Belchior<br /> * Ricky Mabe as John Stevenson<br /> * [[Georges Laraque]] as Huntington<br /> * [[Curt Keilback]] as Rod McCaudry<br /> * Larry Woo as Park Kim<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Production notes==<br /> [[File:Doug_Smith_today.jpg|thumb|upright|The film is an adaptation of the autobiography of [[Doug Smith (author)|Doug Smith]]]]<br /> The film is an adaptation of the book ''Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey'' by Adam Frattasio and [[Doug Smith (author)|Doug Smith]].

Foley's parents were separated as Margaret lived with her father and four sisters. When Foley was sixteen, Margaret married Michael Gilmartin, the son of Sligo immigrants. Foley's biological father worked at the docks and was a volunteer firefighter as well as a singer and songwriter for local pubs. Foley grew up with [[James Cagney]], [[Arthur Murray]], and [[Bert Lahr]] being among his classmates. Foley's first job was as a clerk at the New York docks. During this time, Foley married Beatrice Rehm. They married in secret as Foley was [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], and Rehm was [[Protestantism|Protestant]].&lt;ref name=&quot;film_sound&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1914, Foley and his wife moved to [[Bishop, California|Bishop]], [[California]], as Foley disliked the New York weather. While in Bishop, during [[World War I]], Foley worked for the [[American Defense Society]] guarding the Los Angeles water supply to ensure the water wasn't poisoned. He also worked at a Bishop hardware store. During this time, Foley became involved in the [[theatre]] and composed a few plays. He also wrote and drew [[comics]] for the local newspaper.&lt;ref name=&quot;vintagenews&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;film_sound&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> During the early 1920s, many farm owners began selling their land to the city of [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] for water rights as the city was growing at a rapid pace.&lt;ref name=&quot;film_sound&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; This led to a decrease in wages for many of the locals, particularly those who worked in stores. Being personally affected, Foley began contacting several people he knew in the [[film industry]].  Along with the town's storekeepers, Foley led a publicity campaign to bring the film industry to Bishop to help stimulate the local economy. This endeavor was a success for Foley as he then scouted locations for film productions. This also led to Foley eventually working for [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] in various capacities, from a [[Stunt performer|stuntman]] to a [[Silent film|silent movie]] director.&lt;ref name=&quot;vintagenews&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;film_sound&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> By the latter half of the 1920s, sound was introduced in films. Many production companies began looking to incorporate sound in their movies. Foley became involved with this new aspect in the film industry and worked with sound for movies such as ''[[The Phantom of the Opera (1925 film)|The Phantom of the Opera]]'' (1925), ''[[The Jazz Singer]]'' (1927) and ''[[Tarzan the Tiger]]'' (1929), in which he voiced the first Tarzan yell.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; It wasn't until ''[[Show Boat (1929 film)|Show Boat]]'' (1929) when Foley's career took off as he helped create sound effects for the movie which led to the name [[Foley (filmmaking)|Foley effects]]. After this movie, Foley solely focused on sound for his career in the film industry. Foley worked for close to thirty years incorporating Foley sounds in movies, such as ''[[Dracula (1931 English-language film)|Dracula]]'' (1931) and ''[[Spartacus (film)|Spartacus]]'' (1960). He helped bring movies to life by recording everyday sounds, such as chewing, knocking on wood, and footsteps.

It grows from a small basal rosette and bolts a leafy, erect stem which may branch. The triangular leaves are arranged oppositely on the stem and the erect [[inflorescence]]s emerge from the stem and grow parallel to it, sometimes tangling with the foliage. Each inflorescence may contain many flowers. The petite flower is pinkish-lavender and about a centimeter across, flat-faced with yellow [[stamen|anthers]].

The class now contains two, only distantly related, [[Extant taxon|extant]] subclasses: [[Coleoidea]], which includes [[octopus]]es, [[squid]], and [[cuttlefish]]; and [[Nautiloid]]ea, represented by ''[[Nautilus (genus)|Nautilus]]'' and ''[[Allonautilus]]''. In the Coleoidea, the molluscan shell has been internalized or is absent, whereas in the Nautiloidea, the external shell remains. About 800 living [[species]] of cephalopods have been identified. Two important extinct [[taxon|taxa]] are the [[Ammonoidea]] (ammonites) and [[Belemnoidea]] (belemnites). Extant cephalopods range in size from the 10 mm (0.3 in) ''[[Idiosepius thailandicus]]'' to the 14 m (45.1 ft) [[colossal squid]], the largest extant [[invertebrate]].<br /> <br /> ==Distribution==<br /> {{multiple image<br /> | align =right<br /> | footer ='''Left:''' A pair of cuttlefish (''[[Sepia officinalis]]'') in shallow water&lt;br&gt;'''Right:''' An octopus (''[[Benthoctopus]]'' sp.) on the [[Davidson Seamount]] at 2,422 m depth<br /> | image1 =Sepia officinalis Linnaeus, 1758 .jpg<br /> | width1 =220<br /> | image2 =Benthoctopus sp.jpg<br /> | width2 =190<br /> }}<br /> There are over 800 [[extant species|extant]] species of cephalopod,&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=http://cephbase.eol.org/ |title=Welcome to CephBase |work=CephBase |access-date=29 January 2016}}&lt;/ref&gt; although new species continue to be described.

Edwin |date=1985 |title=Jet-propelled swimming in squids |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24967551 |magazine=Scientific American |volume=252 |issue=1 |pages=96–103 |doi=10.1038/scientificamerican0185-96 |jstor=24967551 |issn=0036-8733}}&lt;/ref&gt; There is a major reason for the difference in movement type and efficiency: anatomy.<br /> <br /> Both octopuses and squids have mantles (referenced above) which function towards respiration and locomotion in the form of jetting. The composition of these mantles differs between the two families, however. In octopuses, the mantle is made up of three muscle types: Longitudinal, radial, and circular. The longitudinal muscles run parallel to the length of the octopus and they are used in order to keep the mantle the same length throughout the jetting process. Given that they are muscles, it can be noted that this means the octopus must actively flex the longitudinal muscles during jetting in order to keep the mantle at a constant length. The radial muscles run perpendicular to the longitudinal muscles and are used to thicken and thin the wall of the mantle. Finally, the circular muscles are used as the main activators in jetting. They are muscle bands that surround the mantle and expand/contract the cavity. All three muscle types work in unison to produce a jet as a propulsion mechanism.&lt;ref name=Gosline-deMont-1985/&gt;<br /> <br /> Squids do not have the longitudinal muscles that octopus do. Instead, they have a tunic.&lt;ref name=Gosline-deMont-1985/&gt; This tunic is made of layers of collagen and it surrounds the top and the bottom of the mantle. Because they are made of collagen and not muscle, the tunics are rigid bodies that are much stronger than the muscle counterparts. This provides the squids some advantages for jet propulsion swimming. The stiffness means that there is no necessary muscle flexing to keep the mantle the same size. In addition, tunics take up only 1% of the squid mantle's wall thickness, whereas the longitudinal muscle fibers take up to 20% of the mantle wall thickness in octopuses.&lt;ref name=Gosline-deMont-1985/&gt; Also because of the rigidity of the tunic, the radial muscles in squid can contract more forcefully. <br /> <br /> The mantle is not the only place where squids have collagen. Collagen fibers are located throughout the other muscle fibers in the mantle. These collagen fibers act as elastics and are sometimes named &quot;collagen springs&quot;.&lt;ref name=Gosline-deMont-1985/&gt; As the name implies, these fibers act as springs. When the radial and circular muscles in the mantle contract, they reach a point where the contraction is no longer efficient to the forward motion of the creature. In such cases, the excess contraction is stored in the collagen which then efficiently begins or aids in the expansion of the mantle at the end of the jet. In some tests, the collagen has been shown to be able to begin raising mantle pressure up to 50ms before muscle activity is initiated.&lt;ref name=Gosline-deMont-1985/&gt;<br /> <br /> These anatomical differences between squid and octopuses can help explain why squid can be found swimming comparably to fish while octopuses usually rely on other forms of locomotion on the sea floor such as bipedal walking, crawling, and non-jetting swimming.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal |last=Huffard |first=Christine L. |date=2006-10-01 |title=Locomotion by ''Abdopus aculeatus'' (Cephalopoda: Octopodidae): Walking the line between primary and secondary defenses |journal=Journal of Experimental Biology |volume=209 |issue=19 |pages=3697–3707 |doi=10.1242/jeb.02435 |pmid=16985187 |s2cid=26862414 |issn=0022-0949}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Shell===<br /> {{See also|Cirrate shell|Cuttlebone|Gladius (cephalopod)|Mollusc shell}}<br /> {{multiple image<br /> |direction=vertical<br /> |width=220<br /> |image1=Spirula spirula.jpg<br /> |caption1=Cross section of ''[[Spirula spirula]]'', showing the position of the shell inside the mantle<br /> |image2=Herklots 1859 I 2 Sepia officinalis - schelp.jpg<br /> |caption2=[[Cuttlebone]] of ''[[Sepia officinalis]]''<br /> |image3=Sepioteuthis lessoniana gladius.jpg<br /> |caption3=Gladius of ''[[Sepioteuthis lessoniana]]''<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Nautilus]]es are the only extant cephalopods with a true external shell.

Significantly, the expanded gene families were only previously known to exhibit replicative behaviour within vertebrates.&lt;ref name=&quot;Albertin 220–224&quot;/&gt; The first gene family was identified as the [[Protocadherin]]s which are attributed to neuron development. Protocadherins function as cell adhesion molecules, essential for [[Synaptogenesis|synaptic specificity]]. The mechanism for Protocadherin gene family replication in vertebrates is attributed to complex splicing, or cutting and pasting, from a locus. Following the sequencing of the California two-spot octopus, researchers found that the Prorocadherin gene family in Cephalopods has expanded in the genome due to [[Tandem exon duplication|tandem gene duplication]]. The different replication mechanisms for Protocadherin genes indicate an independent evolution of Protocadherin gene expansion in vertebrates and invertebrates.&lt;ref name=&quot;Albertin 220–224&quot;/&gt;  Analysis of individual Cephalopod Protocadherin genes indicate independent evolution between species of Cephalopod. A species of shore squid ''[[Longfin inshore squid|Doryteuthis pealeii]]'' with expanded Protocadherin gene families differ significantly from those of the California two-spot octopus suggesting gene expansion did not occur before [[speciation]] within Cephalopods. Despite different mechanisms for gene expansion, the two-spot octopus Protocadherin genes were more similar to vertebrates than squid, suggesting a [[convergent evolution]] mechanism. The second gene family known as C2H2 are small proteins that function as [[Zinc finger transcription factor|zinc transcription factors]]. C2H2 are understood to moderate DNA, RNA and protein functions within the cell.&lt;ref name=&quot;O’Brien 700&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> The sequenced California two spot octopus genome also showed a significant presence of [[transposable element]]s as well as transposon expression.

He soon became disillusioned with the work and in 1950 applied for a job as a radio talk producer with the [[BBC]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Life on Air, p.13&quot;/&gt; Although he was rejected for this job, his [[Curriculum vitae|CV]] later attracted the interest of [[Mary Adams (broadcaster)|Mary Adams]], head of the Talks (factual broadcasting) department of the BBC's fledgling television service.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |last1=Fara |first1=Patricia |title=A Lab of One's Own: Science and Suffrage in the First World War |date=2018 |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=266}}&lt;/ref&gt; Attenborough, like most Britons at that time, did not own a television, and he had seen only one programme in his life.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |author=Attenborough, David |title=Life on Air |publisher=BBC Books |year=2002 |isbn=978-0-563-53461-7}} pp. 10–11.&lt;/ref&gt; However, he accepted Adams' offer of a three-month training course, and in 1952 he joined the BBC full-time. Initially discouraged from appearing on camera because Adams thought his teeth were too big,&lt;ref name=&quot;Life on Air, p.13&quot;&gt;''Life on Air'', p.13.&lt;/ref&gt; he became a producer for the Talks department, which handled all non-fiction broadcasts. His early projects included the quiz show ''Animal, Vegetable, Mineral?'' and ''Song Hunter,'' a series about [[folk music]] presented by [[Alan Lomax]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Life on Air, p.13&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Attenborough's association with natural history programmes began when he produced and presented the three-part series ''Animal Patterns.'' The studio-bound programme featured animals from [[London Zoo]], with the naturalist [[Julian Huxley]] discussing their use of [[camouflage]], [[aposematism]] and [[courtship display]]s. Through this programme, Attenborough met Jack Lester, the curator of the zoo's reptile house, and they decided to make a series about an animal-collecting expedition. The result was ''[[Zoo Quest]],'' first broadcast in 1954, where Attenborough became the presenter at short notice due to Lester being taken ill.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite magazine |url=https://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/05/david-attenborough-used-to-steal-the-animals-he-found-in-the-jungle-and-take-them-home/ |title=David Attenborough used to steal the animals he found in the jungle and take them home |first=James |last=Walton |date=21 May 2016 |magazine=The Spectator |access-date=8 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180408234820/https://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/05/david-attenborough-used-to-steal-the-animals-he-found-in-the-jungle-and-take-them-home/ |archive-date=8 April 2018 |url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1957, the [[BBC Natural History Unit]] was formally established in [[Bristol]]. Attenborough was asked to join it, but declined, not wishing to move from London where he and his young family were settled. Instead, he formed his own department, the Travel and Exploration Unit,&lt;ref name=&quot;Life on Air, pp.60–61&quot;&gt;''Life on Air'', pp. 60–61.&lt;/ref&gt; which allowed him to continue to front ''Zoo Quest'' as well as produce other documentaries, notably the ''Travellers' Tales'' and ''Adventure'' series.&lt;ref name=&quot;Life on Air, pp.60–61&quot;/&gt; In the early 1960s, Attenborough resigned from the permanent staff of the BBC to study for a postgraduate degree in [[social anthropology]] at the [[London School of Economics]], interweaving his study with further filming.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.wildfilmhistory.org/helpers/force-download.php?file=pdf/David_Attenborough.pdf |title=Transcript of interview with David Attenborough |access-date=4 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202034238/http://www.wildfilmhistory.org/helpers/force-download.php?file=pdf%2FDavid_Attenborough.pdf |archive-date=2 December 2008 |url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, he accepted an invitation to return to the BBC as controller of [[BBC Two]] before he could finish the degree.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=http://uk.businessinsider.com/famous-alumni-from-lse-2015-10/#mick-jagger-was-studying-at-lse-when-he-began-playing-with-the-rolling-stones-in-1961-at-first-he-played-with-the-stones-just-on-weekends-and-attended-classes-during-the-week-but-he-ultimately-dropped-out-to-pursue-his-music-career-2 |title=These 18 insanely successful people all went to the London School of Economics |website=Business Insider |access-date=17 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526073843/http://uk.businessinsider.com/famous-alumni-from-lse-2015-10#mick-jagger-was-studying-at-lse-when-he-began-playing-with-the-rolling-stones-in-1961-at-first-he-played-with-the-stones-just-on-weekends-and-attended-classes-during-the-week-but-he-ultimately-dropped-out-to-pursue-his-music-career-2 |archive-date=26 May 2018 |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===BBC administration===<br /> Attenborough became Controller of &lt;!-- Rendering as BBC Two only dates from 1997. --&gt;BBC 2 in March 1965, succeeding [[Michael Peacock (television executive)|Michael Peacock]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/archive/article/1965-03-05/6/1.html |title=Mr. David Attenborough is New B,B.C.-2 Head |work=The Times |date=5 March 1965 |access-date=20 June 2021 |page=6 |archive-date=24 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624205850/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/archive/article/1965-03-05/6/1.html |url-status=live}}{{subscription required}}&lt;/ref&gt; He had a clause inserted in his contract that would allow him to continue making programmes on an occasional basis. Later the same year he filmed elephants in Tanzania, and in 1969 he made a three-part series on the cultural history of the Indonesian island of [[Bali]]. For the 1971 film ''[[A Blank on the Map]]'', he joined the first Western expedition to a remote highland valley in [[New Guinea]] to seek out a [[uncontacted peoples|lost tribe]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03smb54 |title=BBC Two - Attenborough's Passion Projects, A Blank on the Map, First contact with the Biami tribe in 1971 |publisher=BBC |access-date=22 August 2021 |archive-date=22 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210822090544/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03smb54 |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> BBC Two was launched in 1964, but had struggled to capture the public's imagination. When Attenborough arrived as controller, he quickly abolished the channel's quirky kangaroo mascot and shook up the schedule. With a mission to make BBC Two's output diverse and different from that offered by other networks, he began to establish a portfolio of programmes that defined the channel's identity for decades to come. Under his tenure, music, the arts, entertainment, archaeology, experimental comedy, travel, drama, sport, business, science and natural history all found a place in the weekly schedules. Often, an eclectic mix was offered within a single evening's viewing. Programmes he commissioned included ''[[Man Alive (UK TV series)|Man Alive]]'', ''[[Call My Bluff]]'', ''[[Chronicle (UK TV series)|Chronicle]]'', ''[[Match of the Day]]'', ''[[The Old Grey Whistle Test]]'', ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' and ''[[The Money Programme]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |title=David Attenborough: a fine specimen |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/tvandradioblog/2008/mar/03/davidattenboroughafinespec |access-date=15 September 2019 |work=The Guardian |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708225157/https://www.theguardian.com/culture/tvandradioblog/2008/mar/03/davidattenboroughafinespec |archive-date=8 July 2017 |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt; With the addition of [[colour television]], Attenborough brought [[snooker]] to the BBC to show the benefits of the format, as the sport uses coloured balls.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=https://wst.tv/wpbsa/history-of-snooker/ |title=History of Snooker |website=World Snooker |access-date=22 August 2021 |archive-date=15 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815075857/https://wst.tv/wpbsa/history-of-snooker/ |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt; The show – ''[[Pot Black]]'' – was later credited with the boom of the sport into the 1980s.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |title=Sports around the World: History, Culture, and Practice |page=191 |author=John Nauright |publisher=ABC-CLIO |year=2012 |isbn=978-1598843019}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> One of his most significant decisions was to order a 13-part series on the [[Western art history|history of Western art]], to show off the quality of the new [[UHF#United Kingdom|UHF]] colour television service that BBC Two offered. Broadcast to universal acclaim in 1969, ''[[Civilisation (TV series)|Civilisation]]'' set the blueprint for landmark [[authored documentary|authored documentaries]], which were informally known as &quot;sledgehammer&quot; projects.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/oct/22/david-attenborough-climate-change-bbc |title=The real David Attenborough |date=22 October 2019 |website=The Guardian |access-date=23 August 2021 |archive-date=23 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210823195442/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/oct/22/david-attenborough-climate-change-bbc |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |last=Hearn |first=Marcus |title=Civilisation |year=2005 |location=London |publisher=BBC |oclc=778343652 |page=16}}&lt;/ref&gt; Others followed, including [[Jacob Bronowski]]'s ''[[The Ascent of Man]]'' (also commissioned by Attenborough), and [[Alistair Cooke]]'s ''[[America: A Personal History of the United States|America]]''. Attenborough thought that the story of evolution would be a natural subject for such a series. He shared his idea with [[Christopher Parsons]], a producer at the Natural History Unit, who came up with a title ''[[Life on Earth (TV series)|Life on Earth]]'' and returned to Bristol to start planning the series. Attenborough harboured a strong desire to present the series himself, but this would not be possible so long as he remained in a management post.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Chris Parsons |work=The Telegraph |access-date=22 August 2021 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1414374/Chris-Parsons.html |archive-date=22 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210822160731/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1414374/Chris-Parsons.html |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> While in charge of BBC Two, Attenborough turned down [[Terry Wogan]]'s job application to be a presenter on the channel, stating that there weren't any suitable vacancies. The channel already had an Irish announcer, with Attenborough reflecting in 2016: &quot;To have had two Irishmen presenting on BBC Two would have looked ridiculous.

When Attenborough's name was being suggested as a candidate for the position of [[Director-General of the BBC]] in 1972, he phoned his brother Richard to confess that he had no appetite for the job. Early the following year, he left his post to return to full-time programme-making, leaving him free to write and present the planned natural history epic.&lt;ref name=&quot;BAFTA Guru&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> After his resignation, Attenborough became a freelance broadcaster and started work on his next project, a trip to Indonesia with a crew from the Natural History Unit. It resulted in the 1973 series ''Eastwards with Attenborough'', which was similar in tone to the earlier ''Zoo Quest''; the main difference was the introduction of colour. Attenborough stated that he wanted to work in Asia, because previous nature documentaries had mostly focused on Africa.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |first=Jean-Baptiste |last=Gouyon |title=BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |year=2019 |isbn=978-3-030-19981-4 |pages=201–212}}&lt;/ref&gt; That year, Attenborough was invited to deliver the [[Royal Institution Christmas Lectures|Royal Institution Christmas Lecture]] on ''The Language of Animals''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=The languages of animals |url=https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures/watch/1973/the-languages-of-animals |url-status=live |access-date=21 August 2021 |website=The Royal Institution |archive-date=21 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210821200021/https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures/watch/1973/the-languages-of-animals}}&lt;/ref&gt; After his work on ''Eastwards with Attenborough'', he began to work on the scripts for ''Life on Earth''. Due to the scale of his ambition, the BBC decided to partner with an American network to secure the necessary funding. While the negotiations were proceeding, he worked on a number of other television projects. He presented a series on [[tribal art]] (''[[The Tribal Eye]]'', 1975) and another on the voyages of discovery (''[[David Attenborough filmography#1970s|The Explorers]]'', 1975).&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/67588?view=credit |title=BFI Fil and TV Database Attenborough |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090117024717/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/67588?view=credit |archive-date=7 July 2009}}&lt;/ref&gt; He also presented a BBC children's series about [[cryptozoology]] entitled ''Fabulous Animals'' (1975), which featured mythical creatures such as [[mermaid]]s and [[unicorn]]s.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |last=Gately |first=Martin |url=http://www.forteantimes.com/features/articles/101/attenboroughs_fabulous_animals.html |title=Fortean Times episode guide to ''Fabulous Animals'' |publisher=Forteantimes.com |date=1 April 2006 |access-date=4 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090827065546/http://www.forteantimes.com/features/articles/101/attenboroughs_fabulous_animals.html |archive-date=27 August 2009}}&lt;/ref&gt; Eventually, the BBC signed a co-production deal with [[Turner Broadcasting]] and ''Life on Earth'' moved into production in 1976.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Life On Earth |publisher=BBC |access-date=22 August 2021 |url=https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/anniversaries/january/life-on-earth |archive-date=9 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109111318/https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/anniversaries/january/life-on-earth |url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Life series ===<br /> {{see also|The Life Collection}}<br /> Beginning with ''[[Life on Earth (TV series)|Life on Earth]]'' in 1979, Attenborough set about creating a body of work which became a benchmark of quality in wildlife film-making, and influenced a generation of documentary film-makers. The series established many of the hallmarks of the BBC's natural history output. By treating his subject seriously and researching the latest discoveries, Attenborough and his production team gained the trust of scientists, who responded by allowing him to feature their subjects in his programmes.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |author=Attenborough, David |title=Life on Air |publisher=BBC Books |year=2002 |isbn=0-563-48780-1 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/lifeonair00atte}} pp. 289–291.&lt;/ref&gt; Innovation was another factor in ''Life on Earth'''s success: new film-making techniques were devised to get the shots Attenborough wanted, with a focus on events and animals that were up till then unfilmed. International air travel enabled the series to be devised so that Attenborough visited several locations around the globe in each episode, sometimes even changing continents in one sequence. Although appearing as the on-screen presenter, he restricted his time on camera to give more time to his subjects.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite AV media |people=Miles Barton (director), David Attenborough (presenter), Alastair Fothergill (executive producer) |title=Attenborough: 60 Years in the Wild, Episode 1, Life on Camera |year=2012 |publisher=BBC |format=documentary |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00zsqsz}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Five years after the success of ''Life on Earth'', the BBC released ''[[The Living Planet]]''.{{Sfn|Gouyon|2019|p=233}} This time, Attenborough built his series around the theme of ecology, the adaptations of living things to their environment. It was another critical and commercial success, generating huge international sales for the BBC. In 1990, ''[[The Trials of Life]]'' completed the original Life trilogy, looking at [[ethology|animal behaviour]] through the different stages of life.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/anniversaries/october/trials-of-life |title=The Trials of Life |access-date=5 September 2021 |archive-date=17 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417084551/https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/anniversaries/october/trials-of-life |url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In the 1990s, Attenborough continued to use the &quot;Life&quot; title for a succession of authored documentaries. In 1993, he presented ''[[Life in the Freezer]]'', the first television series to survey the natural history of [[Antarctica]]. Although past normal retirement age, he then embarked on a number of more specialised surveys of the natural world, beginning with plants. They proved a difficult subject for his producers, who had to deliver hours of television featuring what are essentially immobile objects. The result was ''[[The Private Life of Plants]]'' (1995), which showed plants as dynamic organisms by using [[time-lapse photography]] to speed up their growth, and went on to earn a [[Peabody Award]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/the-private-life-of-plants |title=Peabody Award Citation: The Private Life of Plants (1995) |access-date=24 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170826234123/http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/the-private-life-of-plants |archive-date=26 August 2017 |url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Prompted by an enthusiastic [[ornithology|ornithologist]] at the BBC Natural History Unit, Attenborough then turned his attention to birds. As he was neither an [[Birdwatching|birdwatcher]] nor a bird expert, he decided he was better qualified to make ''[[The Life of Birds]]'' (1998) on the theme of behaviour. The documentary series won a second Peabody Award the following year.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/the-life-of-birds-by-david-attenborough 59th Annual Peabody Awards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006131052/http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/the-life-of-birds-by-david-attenborough |date=6 October 2014 }}, May 2000.&lt;/ref&gt; The order of the remaining &quot;Life&quot; series was dictated by developments in camera technology. For ''[[The Life of Mammals]]'' (2002), [[low-light photography|low-light]] and [[infrared photography|infrared]] cameras were deployed to reveal the behaviour of nocturnal mammals. The series contains a number of memorable [[two shot]]s of Attenborough and his subjects, which included chimpanzees, a [[blue whale]] and a [[grizzly bear]]. Advances in [[macro photography]] made it possible to capture the natural behaviour of very small creatures for the first time, and in 2005, ''[[Life in the Undergrowth]]'' introduced audiences to the world of [[invertebrate]]s.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=BBC Science &amp; Nature - Life In The Undergrowth |publisher=BBC |access-date=6 September 2021 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/lifeintheundergrowth/ |archive-date=4 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210804004715/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/lifeintheundergrowth/ |url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> At this point, Attenborough realised that he had spent 20 years unconsciously assembling a collection of programmes on all the major groups of terrestrial animals and plants – only [[reptile]]s and [[amphibian]]s were missing. When ''[[Life in Cold Blood]]'' was broadcast in 2008, he had the satisfaction of completing the set, brought together in a DVD encyclopaedia called ''[[Life on Land]]''. He commented: &quot;The evolutionary history is finished. The endeavour is complete. If you'd asked me 20 years ago whether we'd be attempting such a mammoth task, I'd have said 'Don't be ridiculous!' These programmes tell a particular story and I'm sure others will come along and tell it much better than I did, but I do hope that if people watch it in 50 years' time, it will still have something to say about the world we live in.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;rtimes2&quot;&gt;''Radio Times'' 26 Jan–1 February 2008: &quot;The Last Word&quot;, interview with Jeremy Paxman&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> However, in 2010 Attenborough asserted that his ''[[First Life (TV series)|First Life]]'' – dealing with evolutionary history before ''Life on Earth'' – should be included within the &quot;Life&quot; series. In the documentary ''[[Attenborough's Journey]]'', he stated, &quot;This series, to a degree which I really didn't fully appreciate until I started working on it, really completes the set.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Attenborough's Journey'', BBC Two, 24 October 2010&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Beyond Life on Earth===<br /> [[File:David Attenborough NASA.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Attenborough filming commentary for a documentary at [[Kennedy Space Center]]]]<br /> Alongside the &quot;Life&quot; series, Attenborough continued to work on other television documentaries, mainly in the natural history genre. He wrote and presented a series on man's influence on the natural history of the [[Mediterranean Basin]], ''[[The First Eden]]'', in 1987.

His most influential work, 1979's ''Life on Earth'', launched a strand of nine authored documentaries with the BBC Natural History Unit which shared the ''Life'' strand name and spanned 30 years. He narrated every episode of the long-running BBC series ''Wildlife on One'' and in his later career has voiced several high-profile BBC wildlife documentaries, among them ''The Blue Planet'' and ''Planet Earth''. He became a pioneer in the 3D documentary format with ''Flying Monsters'' in 2010.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Rotten Tomatoes: David Attenborough |work=Rotten Tomatoes |access-date=6 September 2021 |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/david_attenborough |archive-date=21 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621153753/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/david_attenborough |url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Bibliography==<br /> David Attenborough's work as an author has strong parallels with his broadcasting career. In the 1950s and 1960s, his published work included accounts of his animal collecting expeditions around the world, which became the ''Zoo Quest'' series. He wrote an accompanying volume to each of his nine ''Life'' documentaries, along with books on tribal art and [[Bird-of-paradise|birds of paradise]]. His autobiography, ''Life on Air'', was published in 2002, revised in 2009 and is one of a number of his works which is available as a self-narrated [[audiobook]]. Attenborough has also contributed forewords and introductions to many other works, notably those accompanying ''Planet Earth'', ''Frozen Planet'', ''Africa'' and other BBC series he has narrated.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.waterstones.com/author/sir-david-attenborough/4330 |title=Sir David Attenborough |publisher=Waterstones |access-date=5 September 2021 |archive-date=17 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210817202741/https://www.waterstones.com/author/sir-david-attenborough/4330 |url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://biblio.co.uk/david-attenborough/author/21689|title=David Attenborough Books -

The name comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] ''hapsis'', touch, and ''nema'', thread.

Coccolithophores are some of the most abundant marine [[phytoplankton]], especially in the open ocean, and are extremely abundant as microfossils, forming [[chalk]] deposits. Other planktonic haptophytes of note include ''[[Chrysochromulina]]'' and ''[[Prymnesium]]'', which periodically form toxic marine [[algal bloom]]s, and ''[[Phaeocystis]]'', blooms of which can produce unpleasant foam which often accumulates on beaches.&lt;ref name=Cuvelier/&gt;<br /> <br /> Haptophytes are economically important, as species such as ''[[Pavlova (algae)|Pavlova lutheri]]'' and ''[[Isochrysis]] sp.'' are widely used in the [[aquaculture]] industry to feed [[oyster]] and [[shrimp]] larvae.

However, when that is not possible, the best that can be done is to limit and control the presence of ''A. philoxeroides'' in an area. ''Alternanthera philoxeroides'' can only establish itself in shallow waters no deeper than {{ convert | 2 | m | yd | abbr=off | 0 }}, so one method of control is to erect barriers in shallower areas to limit the amount of suitable space the plant has.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; When it comes to terrestrial environments, overpopulating the area with native species can limit the suitable space available for it.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; However, this method is only effective before the invasive plant has asserted itself in an area. Lastly, as previously mentioned, this plant is only able to produce viable seeds in its native geographic range and not in the areas it has invaded. Learning why that is - what ecological conditions make it produce only sterile seeds - could be key to developing further preventative measures against it.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Biological measures ===<br /> Insects have been released for the biological control of ''A. philoxeroides''. The most successful and widely used is ''[[Agasicles hygrophila]]'' commonly called the alligator weed flea beetle; it has been released for biocontrol in [[Australia]], [[China]], [[Thailand]], [[New Zealand]], and the [[United States]]. However, their effectiveness is limited due to their inability to survive through temperatures lower than {{convert|11|C|F}}.&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt; ''[[Amynothrips andersoni]]'', the alligator weed thrips, and [[Arcola malloi|''Vogtia malloi'']], the alligator weed stem borer, have also been released in the United States. These species result in immediate wilting and limit ''A. philoxeroides'' reproduction by colonizing its stems.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; A variety of chemicals have been shown to be effective in controlling the plant, the most useful of which include [[glyphosate]], [[triclopyr]], [[fluridone]], [[imazamox]], and [[imazapyr]]; however, they must constantly be applied to be successful.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Legality of sale and shipment in the United States===<br /> In 1956 ''A. philoxeroides'' was banned for sale or shipment in the [[United States]], subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.&lt;ref name=&quot;US-ban-law&quot; /&gt;This law was repealed by HR133 &lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|last=Cuellar|first=Henry|date=2020-12-27|title=H.R.133 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2041|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/133|access-date=2020-12-29|website=www.congress.gov}}&lt;/ref&gt;[116th Congress (2019-2020)] on 12/27/2020.{{full citation needed|date=December 2020}}{{failed verification|date=December 2020}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Ludwigia grandiflora]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist|refs=<br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;US-ban-law&quot;&gt;{{cite act|url=http://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCODE-2011-title18/USCODE-2011-title18-partI-chap3-sec46|title=Transportation of water hyacinths|legislature=[[United States Congress]]|date=1 August 1956|type=Bill|index=18 U.S. Code § 46}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> }}<br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://bugwoodcloud.org/ibiocontrol/proceedings/pdf/12_435-442.pdf The evolutionary history of an invasive species: alligator weed, ''Alternanthera philoxeroides''], XII International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds<br /> * [https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/67831/IPA-Alligator-Weed-Risk-Assessment.pdf Pest Plant Risk Assessment: Alligatorweed], Biosecurity Queensland, Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation<br /> * [https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/aquatic/plants/alligatorweed Species Profile - Alligatorweed (''Alternanthera philoxeroides'')], National Invasive Species Information Center, [[United States National Agricultural Library]].

Compared to squirrels of similar size, flying squirrels, northern and southern flying squirrels show lengthening in bones of the lumbar vertebrae and forearm, whereas bones of the feet, hands, and distal vertebrae are reduced in length. Such differences in body proportions reveal the flying squirrels’ adaptation to minimize wing loading and to increase more maneuverability while gliding.

It is usually prescribed as a single daily dose medication for those who wish to abstain from illicit opioid use. Treatment models for MMT differ. It is not uncommon for treatment recipients to be administered methadone in a specialist clinic, where they are observed for around 15–20 minutes post-dosing, to reduce the risk of diversion of medication.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book | vauthors=((World Health Organization)) | year=2009 | title=Clinical guidelines for withdrawal management and treatment of drug dependence in closed settings.

Given opioid dependence is characteristically a chronic relapsing/remitting disorder, MMT may be lifelong. The length of time a person remains in treatment depends on a number of factors. While starting doses may be adjusted based on the amount of opioids reportedly used, most clinical guidelines suggest doses start low (e.g. at doses not exceeding 40&amp;nbsp;mg daily) and are incremented gradually.&lt;ref name=&quot;JosephStancliffLangrod&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Connock&quot;&gt;{{cite journal |pmid=17313907 |year=2007 |last1=Connock |first1=M |last2=Juarez-Garcia |first2=A |last3=Jowett |first3=S |last4=Frew |first4=E |last5=Liu |first5=Z |last6=Taylor |first6=RJ |last7=Fry-Smith |first7=A |last8=Day |first8=E |last9=Listerine |first9=N |last10=Roberts |first10=T |last11=Burls |first11=A |last12=Taylor |first12=RS |title=Methadone and buprenorphine for the management of opioid dependence: A systematic review and economic evaluation |volume=11 |issue=9 |pages=1–171, iii–iv |journal=Health Technology Assessment |doi=10.3310/hta11090|doi-access=free }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Methadone [[Maintenance dose|maintenance]] has been shown to reduce the transmission of bloodborne viruses associated with opioid injection, such as hepatitis B and C, and/or HIV.&lt;ref name=&quot;JosephStancliffLangrod&quot; /&gt; The principal goals of methadone maintenance are to relieve opioid cravings, suppress the abstinence syndrome, and block the euphoric effects associated with opioids.<br /> <br /> Chronic methadone dosing will eventually lead to neuroadaptation, characterised by a syndrome of tolerance and withdrawal (dependence).

Despite methadone's much longer duration of action compared to either heroin and other shorter-acting agonists and the need for repeat doses of the antagonist naloxone, it is still used for overdose therapy. As naltrexone has a longer half-life, it is more difficult to titrate. If too large a dose of the opioid antagonist is given to a dependent person, it will result in withdrawal symptoms (possibly severe). When using naloxone, the naloxone will be quickly eliminated and the withdrawal will be short-lived. Doses of naltrexone take longer to be eliminated from the person's system. A common problem in treating methadone overdoses is that, given the short action of naloxone (versus the extremely longer-acting methadone), a dosage of naloxone given to a methadone-overdosed person will initially work to bring the person out of overdose, but once the naloxone wears off, if no further naloxone is administered, the person can go right back into overdose (based upon time and dosage of the methadone ingested).<br /> <br /> === Tolerance and dependence ===<br /> As with other opioid medications, tolerance and dependence usually develop with repeated doses. There is some clinical evidence that tolerance to analgesia is less with methadone compared to other opioids; this may be due to its activity at the NMDA receptor. Tolerance to the different physiological effects of methadone varies; tolerance to analgesic properties may or may not develop quickly, but tolerance to euphoria usually develops rapidly, whereas tolerance to constipation, sedation, and respiratory depression develops slowly (if ever).&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal | url = http://www.atforum.com/pdf/DosingandSafetyWP.pdf | journal = Addiction Treatment Forum | date = September 2003 | title = Methadone Dosing &amp; Safety in the Treatment of Opioid Addiction | first = Stewart B. | last = Leavitt}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Driving ===<br /> Methadone treatment may impair driving ability.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |doi=10.1111/j.1360-0443.2005.01148.x |title=Driving Capacity of Patients Treated with Methadone and Slow-Release Oral Morphine |year=2005 |journal=Addiction |volume=100 |issue=7 |pages=1027 |pmid=15955021 |last1=Giacomuzzi |first1=SM |last2=Ertl |first2=M |last3=Vigl |first3=A |last4=Riemer |first4=Y |last5=Günther |first5=V |last6=Kopp |first6=M |last7=Pilsz |first7=W |last8=Haaser |first8=W}}&lt;/ref&gt; Drug abusers had significantly more involvement in serious crashes than non-abusers in a study by the University of Queensland.

Methadone is [[metabolism|metabolized]] by [[CYP3A4]], [[CYP2B6]], [[CYP2D6]], and is a [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrate]], or in this case target, for the [[P-glycoprotein]] efflux protein, a protein which helps pump foreign substances out of cells, in the [[intestine]]s and [[brain]]. The [[bioavailability]] and [[elimination half-life]] of methadone are subject to substantial [[interindividual variability]]. Its main [[route of administration]] is [[oral administration|oral]]. Adverse effects include sedation, [[hypoventilation]], [[constipation]] and [[miosis]], in addition to tolerance, dependence and withdrawal difficulties. The withdrawal period can be much more prolonged than with other opioids, spanning anywhere from two weeks to several months.<br /> <br /> The metabolic half-life of methadone differs from its duration of action. The metabolic half-life is 8 to 59 hours (approximately 24 hours for opioid-tolerant people, and 55 hours in opioid-naive people), as opposed to a half-life of 1 to 5 hours for morphine.&lt;ref name=&quot;Gris2011&quot;/&gt; The length of the half-life of methadone allows for exhibition of respiratory depressant effects for an extended duration of time in opioid-naive people.&lt;ref name=Gris2011/&gt;<br /> <br /> === Mechanism of action ===<br /> [[Levomethadone]] (the ''L'' enantiomer) is a [[μ-opioid receptor]] agonist with higher [[intrinsic activity]] than morphine, but lower affinity.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|editor1-last=Davis|editor1-first=MP|editor2-last=Glare|editor2-first=P|editor3-last=Hardy|editor3-first=JR|editor4-last=Columba|editor4-first=Q|title=Opioids in Cancer Pain|date=2009|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford, UK|isbn=978-0-19-923664-0|edition=2nd|pages=211–212}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[Dextromethadone]] (the ''S'' enantiomer) does not affect opioid receptors but binds to the [[glutamatergic]] [[NMDA]] (''N''-methyl-{{Small|D}}-aspartate) receptor, and acts as an [[receptor antagonist|antagonist]] against [[glutamate]]. Methadone has been shown to reduce neuropathic pain in rat models, primarily through NMDA receptor antagonism. Glutamate is the primary excitatory [[neurotransmitter]] in the [[central nervous system]]. NMDA receptors have a very important role in modulating long-term excitation and memory formation. NMDA antagonists such as [[dextromethorphan]] (DXM, a cough suppressant), [[ketamine]] (a dissociative anaesthetic), [[tiletamine]] (a veterinary anaesthetic) and [[ibogaine]] (from the African tree ''[[Tabernanthe iboga]]'') are being studied for their role in decreasing the development of tolerance to opioids and as possible for eliminating addiction/tolerance/withdrawal, possibly by disrupting memory circuitry. Acting as an NMDA antagonist may be one mechanism by which methadone decreases craving for opioids and tolerance, and has been proposed as a possible mechanism for its distinguished efficacy regarding the treatment of neuropathic pain. The [[dextrorotary]] form ([[dextromethadone]]), which acts as an [[NMDA receptor antagonist]] and is devoid of opioid activity, has been shown to produce analgesia in experimental models of chronic pain. Methadone also acted as a potent, [[noncompetitive]] [[alpha-3 beta-4 nicotinic receptor|α&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;β&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;]] neuronal [[nicotinic acetylcholine receptor]] [[nicotinic antagonist|antagonist]] in rat receptors, expressed in human embryonic kidney cell lines.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |last1=Xiao |first1=Yingxian |last2=Smith |first2=Richard D. |last3=Caruso |first3=Frank S. |last4=Kellar |first4=Kenneth J. |title=Blockade of Rat α3β4 Nicotinic Receptor Function by Methadone, Its Metabolites, and Structural Analogs |journal=The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics |volume=299 |issue=1 |pages=366–71 |date=October 2001 |pmid=11561100 |url=http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&amp;pmid=11561100}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Metabolism ===<br /> Methadone has a slow metabolism and very high [[Lipophilicity|fat solubility]], making it longer lasting than morphine-based drugs.

Many substances can also induce, inhibit or compete with these enzymes further affecting (sometimes dangerously) methadone half-life. A longer half-life frequently allows for administration only once a day in opioid [[Drug detoxification|detoxification]] and maintenance programs. People who metabolize methadone rapidly, on the other hand, may require twice daily dosing to obtain sufficient symptom alleviation while avoiding excessive peaks and troughs in their blood concentrations and associated effects.&lt;ref name=&quot;EapI&quot;/&gt; This can also allow lower total doses in some such people. The analgesic activity is shorter than the pharmacological half-life; dosing for pain control usually requires multiple doses per day normally dividing daily dosage for administration at 8 hour intervals.&lt;ref&gt;Medscape Methadone Dosage.

Drinkable forms include ready-to-dispense liquid (sold in the [[United States]] as Methadose), and Diskets® (known on the street as &quot;wafers&quot; or &quot;biscuits&quot;) tablets which are dispersible in water for oral administration, used in a similar fashion to [[Alka-Seltzer]]. The liquid form is the most common as it allows for smaller dose changes. Methadone is almost as effective when administered orally as by injection. Oral medication is usually preferable because it offers safety, simplicity and represents a step away from injection-based drug abuse in those recovering from addiction. U.S. federal regulations require the oral form in addiction treatment programs.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReferenceA&quot;&gt;Code of Federal Regulations, Title 42, Sec 8.&lt;/ref&gt; Injecting methadone pills can cause collapsed veins, bruising, swelling, and possibly other harmful effects.

These synthetic opioids have increased length and depth of satiating any opiate cravings and generate very strong analgesic effects due to their long metabolic half-life and strong receptor affinity at the mu-opioid receptor sites.

Because of its long half-life, methadone is almost invariably prescribed to be taken in a single daily dose. At nearly all methadone clinics in the US, '''patients must visit a clinic to receive and take their dose under the supervision of a nurse.''' Both patients who are new to methadone treatment and high-risk patients—such as those who are using drugs and alcohol, including cannabis—must visit the clinic '''daily''' (every morning). &lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Methadone|url=https://www.samhsa.gov/medication-assisted-treatment/medications-counseling-related-conditions/methadone|access-date=2021-02-15|website=www.samhsa.gov|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=42 CFR § 8.12 - Federal opioid treatment standards.|url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/8.12|access-date=2021-02-15|website=LII / Legal Information Institute|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, some clinics close on national holidays and provide doses to patients to take home.<br /> <br /> ==== 'Take-home' or 'Take-away' methadone ====<br /> After 90 days to 6 months (depending on the clinic), if patients have met the clinic's criteria, they are typically eligible for take-home doses of methadone. Therefore, they may be allowed to take anywhere from one to six days to visit the clinic once or twice weekly instead of every day. In accordance with DEA and SAMHSA regulations, patients who use other drugs are not eligible for take-home methadone.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|date=2019-03-31|title=Why Are Methadone Patients Still Being Punished for Marijuana Use?|url=https://filtermag.org/why-are-methadone-patients-still-being-punished-for-marijuana-use/|access-date=2021-02-15|website=Filter|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In recent years, patients, doctors, nurses, those working in the addiction field, and advocates of many kinds have heavily criticized the extremely tight regulations regarding take-home methadone. Advocates for reforming methadone regulations argue that methadone could be much more effective if it wasn't necessary for patients to visit clinics daily. Many addicts seeking treatment usually avoid methadone or see it as a last resort, specifically because they do not want to have to go to a clinic every day to receive their medication. &lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-03-31|title=SAMHSA's Absurd Criteria for Identifying &quot;Stable&quot; Methadone Patients|url=https://filtermag.org/samhsa-methadone-criteria/|access-date=2021-02-15|website=Filter|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

One of Embrrato's neighbors was his nephew, [[Anthony Mirra]], who became a widely feared soldier in the Bonanno family. Embarrato was employed at the ''[[New York Post]]'' from the 1960s to 1990s as a general foreman for the paper's distribution plant. When real estate owner [[Peter Kalikow]] bought the ''Post'' in 1988, his managers noted that Embarrato did no visible work and naively tried to fire him. When word of Embrrato's firing spread, the other Post foremen quickly agreed to take a salary cut so that Embarrato could keep his job. In 1990, District Attorney [[Robert Morgenthau]] began an extensive investigation of mob control at the New York newspapers, including the Post. Three years later, Embarrato was indicted on charges related to this investigation.<br /> <br /> ==Family dissension==<br /> In the late 1970s, [[Philip Rastelli]] became the boss of the Bonanno family, causing a major split in the membership.

However, Rastelli heard about the plot and instead arranged an ambush for the three conspirators. On May 5, 1981, the day of the ambush, Rastelli loyalist [[Dominick Napolitano]] asked Embarrato to come down to [[The Motion Lounge]] for a &quot;sitdown&quot;. At the meeting, Napolitano placed two of his sidewalk soldiers next to Embarrato. The mobsters then waited until Napolitano received confirmation that Giaccone, Trichera, and Indelicato were dead. Later describing the meeting to [[Joseph D. Pistone]], posing as mobster Donnie Brasco, Napolitano said, &quot;When [he] Alfred heard that, he turned ash white. He thought we were going to hit him too. But I just reamed at him about Tony, told him Tony was no good; and that he [Alfred] better recognize that and act right himself.&quot; Embarrato agreed.<br /> <br /> ==Donnie Brasco==<br /> In mid-1981, when Pistone was revealed as an FBI agent, &quot;Sonny Black&quot; Napolitano, &quot;Lefty&quot; Ruggiero, and Mirra were all on the firing line for initially allowing the infiltration. Mirra went into hiding. [[Joseph Massino]] ordered Embarrato and Mirra's two cousins [[Joseph D'Amico]] and [[Richard Cantarella]], to find and kill him. On February 18, 1982, D'Amico, lured him to a parking garage in Lower Manhattan. Embarrato and Cantarella were waiting in a getaway car. The pair went to the parking garage, climbed into Mirra's car, and drove up to a locked security gate. D'Amico would later describe in a testimony, &quot;He took out his key, put it in the box, but he didn’t get a chance to turn the box... I shot him at close range several times on the side of his head.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2004/06/17/tight-hit-family-close-cuz-chosen-to-kill-brasco-wiseguy/|publisher=nypost.com|title=TIGHT-HIT FAMILY – CLOSE CUZ CHOSEN TO KILL ‘BRASCO’ WISEGUY|date=June 17, 2004}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2004/06/17/family-ties-made-it-easy-to-whack-cuz-mob-thug/|title=FAMILY TIES MADE IT EASY TO WHACK CUZ: MOB THUG|publisher=nypost.com|date=June 17, 2004}}&lt;/ref&gt; In 1988, Embarrato was indicted along with other Bonanno leaders in a [[Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act]] case.<br /> <br /> ==Death==<br /> On February 21, 2001, Alfred Embarrato died of natural causes.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> {{Notes}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==Further reading==<br /> *Raab, Selwyn.

Its species are unique among cnidarians in that they actively hunt for [[Predation|prey]] as opposed to passively waiting for [[plankton]] to pass by. They are found in the deep waters of [[Monterey Bay]], [[California]]. They are most likely to be found in the deep sea, mid water ({{convert|700|-|1000|m|ft|abbr=on}}). They grow to be {{convert|20|cm|in|abbr=on}} in diameter. These hydrozoans feed on gelatinous [[zooplankton]], including salps and doliolids, [[ctenophore]]s, [[jellyfish]], and [[copepod]]s.

Since these organisms are extremely fragile, they are rarely observed alive.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; Bioluminescence in siphonophores has been thought to have evolved as a defense mechanism.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; Siphonophores of the [[Deep sea|deep-sea]] genus ''Erenna'' (found at depths between 1,600-2,300 meters) are thought to use their [[Bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] capability for offense too, as a lure to attract fish.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; This genus is one of the few to prey on fish rather than crustaceans.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; The bioluminescent organs, called [[tentilla]], on these non-visual individuals emit red [[fluorescence]] along with a rhythmic flicking pattern, which attracts prey as it resembles smaller organisms such as [[zooplankton]] and [[copepod]]s. Thus, it has been concluded that they use luminescence as a lure to attract prey.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; Some research indicates that deep-sea organisms can not detect long wavelengths, and red light has a long wavelength of 680&amp;nbsp;nm. If this is the case, then fish are not lured by ''Erenna'', and there must be another explanation. However, the deep-sea remains largely unexplored and red light sensitivity in fish such as ''[[Cyclothone]]'' and the deep [[myctophid]] fish should not be discarded.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Bioluminescent lures are found in many different species of siphonophores, and are used for a variety of reasons. Species such as ''[[Agalma okeni]], [[Athorybia rosacea]], [[Athorybia lucida]],'' and ''[[Lychnafalma utricularia]]'' use their lures as a mimicry device to attract prey.&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt; ''A. rosacea'' mimic fish larvae, ''A. lucida'' are thought to mimic larvacean houses, and ''L. utricularia'' mimic hydromedusa.&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt; The species ''[[Resomia ornicephala]]'' uses their green and blue fluorescing tentilla to attract krill, helping them to outcompete other organisms that are hunting for the same prey.&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt; Siphonophores from the genus ''Erenna'' use bioluminescent lures surrounded by red fluorescence to attract prey, and possibly mimic a fish from the ''Cyclothone'' genus.&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt; Their prey is lured in through a unique flicking behavior associated with the tentilla.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; When young, the tentilla of organisms in the ''Erenna'' genus contain only bioluminescent tissue, but, as the organism ages, red fluorescent material is also present in these tissues.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Taxonomy ==<br /> [[File:Portuguese Man-O-War (Physalia physalis).jpg|thumb|[[Portuguese man o' war]] (''Physalia physalis'')]]<br /> Organisms in the order of Siphonophorae have been classified into the phylum Cnidaria and the class Hydrozoa.&lt;ref name=&quot;WoRMS&quot;&gt;[http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&amp;id=1371 &quot;Siphonophorae&quot;].

These spines are a modification of the hair that is formed and strengthened by [[keratin]]. They contain hollow air filled gaps separated by thin inner layers of the spine to lessen the weight load.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grzimek&quot;&gt;Grzimek, Bernhard, Neil Schlager, Donna Olendorf, and Melissa C. McDade. Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia. Vol. 13. Detroit: Thomson Gale, 2004.&lt;/ref&gt; Every spine is tapered at the end to form a point and also at the base where it then forms a bulb that is attached to the skin. The tapering at the base allows the spine to have a section that will bend under stress and dampen forces placed on the spines. Each of the spines has a dermal muscle that erects the spine for defense.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grzimek&quot;/&gt; The size of ''Erinaceus'' is 20–30&amp;nbsp;cm with a weight of 400–1200&amp;nbsp;g.&lt;ref&gt;Lal, S. S. Practical Zoology Vertebrate. Meerut, IN: Global Media, 2010.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Behavior==<br /> Like all other hedgehogs ''Erinaceus'' is [[nocturnal]] and seeks shelter in shrubs and burrows during the day.&lt;ref name=&quot;Qumsiyeh&quot;&gt;[[Mazin Qumsiyeh|Qumsiyeh, Mazin B.]] Mammals of the Holy Land. Lubbock: Texas Tech UP, 1996 {{ISBN|089672364X}}.&lt;/ref&gt; The common defense mechanism is to roll into a ball with the spines facing outward. The action is done because of excess loose skin on the back of hedgehogs allows them to pull it around the rest of their body forming a ball. The first step is to pull skin fold over the head and rear of the body. Once this is done a muscle that runs along the edges of the animal called the ''panniculus carnosus'' contracts pulling everything in like a drawstring.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grzimek&quot;/&gt;<br /> Like most hedgehogs ''Erinaceus'' is solitary until breeding season. Another normal action is self-anointing where the organism produces thick foamy saliva and proceeds to cover its spines with the saliva. This could be in response to a chemical signal and often is done when a new object is introduced. The reason for self-anointing is unknown and believed to be either part of a defense or attraction of a mate.&lt;ref name=&quot;MacDonald&quot;/&gt;<br /> [[Hibernation]] is common in each of the species for ''Erinaceus''. Most have the ability to lower the body temperature close that of the environmental temperature. In particular [[European Hedgehog|''Erinaceus europaeus'']] the body temperature can drop down to 1&amp;nbsp;°C and lower its heart rate down to 22 beats per minute.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grzimek&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Reproduction and lifespan==<br /> It is believed that ''Erinaceus'' is [[polygyny|polygynous]] in mating. Once fertilized [[gestation]] is between 30–40 days. Upon birth the young are born blind and dependent to their mother. The average litter size is 2–5 offspring with a maximum of 10. Offspring are born without developed spines, which form within a few weeks. Weaning occurs around 4–6 weeks. Sexual maturity is reached around 12 months. The average life span is 2–5 years while in captivity lifespan can reach as much as 10 years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grzimek&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Diet==<br /> ''Erinaceus'' is an [[omnivore]].

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was as one of the most popular Jamaican musicians in the world.

He released two studio albums, ''[[As Raw as Ever]]'' and ''[[X-tra Naked]]'', which both won a [[Grammy Award]] as [[Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album|Best Reggae Album]] in 1992 and 1993, respectively.

Shabba held a copy of a Bible which he carried with him and stated that the &quot;word of God&quot; advocated the &quot;crucifixion of homosexuals&quot;. He also alluded that he advocates the progression of the [[Jamaican people]] and [[freedom of speech]] but did not concluded that [[LGBT rights in Jamaica|being against homosexuality]] would be in question of exclusion, according to [[The Bible and homosexuality|bible laws]]. He was condemned for his comments by presenter [[Mark Lamarr]], who said, &quot;That's absolute crap and you know it.&quot; In following of the comments he made, Ranks was dropped out of a [[Bobby Brown]] concert as a performer and faced altercations with his label, especially the pressure with his label at the time, [[Sony Music]].

Its dark longitudinal stripe down the back of its hard wing case is often brown or yellow. It can vary in length between 3 and 25mm in length, but the most common is 9mm. They are a part of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea and are characterized for their modified prothorax and have a large coxae. Their antennae is a lamellate antennal club and has a head with anterior margins which are either semicircular or emerginate mesocoxae, strongly oblique.<br /> <br /> The manuka beetle is a part of the subfamily Melolonthinaes, which is characterized by its stout body and glossy exterior, and the presence of either labrums or mandibles. These appear as segments either elongated or as oval lobes which can be folded together tightly to form compact and asymmetrical clubs. The elbow clubs have between 8 and 10 segments. They have spindly legs covered in light coloured hairs which are strongly modified for digging with their teeth, spines and/or bristles. Their abdomens have 6 ventrites and the hind wing has a spring mechanism which can fold.<br /> <br /> As larvae, the grub forms as a C-shape.&lt;ref name=&quot;Klimaszewski&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Klimaszewski | first1=J. | year=1997 | title=Fauna of New Zealand: Ko te Aitanga Pepeke o Aotearoa | location=Auckland, New Zealand | publisher=Manaaki Whenua Press }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Distribution ==<br /> The manuka beetle is endemic to New Zealand. There is no compelling evidence to suggest that it is found elsewhere in the world. It is, however, closely related to other beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, like chafers, dung-beetles, and grass grubs, which are found throughout other parts of the world. An old journal article at a museum in London records the presence of manuka beetles in sheep's wool imported from New Zealand.&lt;ref name=&quot;Fabricius&quot;&gt;{{cite book | last1=Fabricius | first1=J. | year=1775 | title=Systema Entomologiae, sistens, insectorum classes, ordines, genera, species, adiectis synonymis, locis, descriptionibus, observationibus. | location= Leipzig, Germany: Hafnia | publisher=Impensis Chris, Gottl, Profit }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Natural global range ===<br /> The manuka beetle has a generally widespread range across New Zealand but little information has been found on the effects it has on the land outside of New Zealand. The endemic species found in New Zealand have been closely related to those of Australia, so it can be assumed that they would present there also.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|title=On the Geographical relations of the New Zealand fauna|journal=Annals and Magazine of Natural History |volume=13 |issue=73 |pages=25–39 |doi=10.1080/00222937408562426|year = 1874|last1 = Hutton|first1 = F.W.|url=https://zenodo.org/record/1430207}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === New Zealand range ===<br /> The manuka beetle is very common, and is found in large numbers throughout New Zealand.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lindsey&quot;&gt;{{cite book | last1=Lindsey | first1=T. | last2=Morris | first2=R. | year=2000 | title=Field Guide to New Zealand Wildlife}}&lt;/ref&gt; It lives in grass and vegetation habitats, which is the majority of the landscape of New Zealand.

They were found present in pastures close to native bush with manuka trees. A 5&amp;nbsp;km belt around the park is evidence of the impact of manuka beetle larvae feeding on the roots of plants. Flight activities of the beetles were recorded in traps placed 50m and 20m away from manuka bush. The research showed that they were present away from the traps rather than near the bush itself.&lt;ref name=&quot;Thomson&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Thomson | first1=N. | last2=Miln | first2=A. | last3= Kain | first3=W. | year=1979 | title=Biology of manuka beetle in Taranaki | journal=Taranaki Agricultural Research Station | volume=32 | pages=80–8 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Habitat preferences ===<br /> Manuka beetles have the widest ecological tolerance for different habitats out of the Melolonthidae subfamily, though they prefer woody vegetation. They tend to occur in tussock and pastures 2 to 3 years through development and been converted from native vegetation or bush regrowth.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url= http://rsnz.natlib.govt.nz/volume/rsnz_67/rsnz_67_02_001260.pdf |title=Manuka Beetle Management Brochure | publisher=agresearch | accessdate=2014-03-24}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, as its common name suggests, it preferably lives in and around the soil of manuka trees (''[[Leptospermum]]''). Adult beetles have been seen swarming over the small white flowers that cover the manuka when it is flowering during the summer.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lindsey&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Life cycle/phenology==<br /> [[File:Pyronota festiva larva.jpg|thumb|''Pyronota festiva'' larva]]<br /> Otago has been a major region for experimentation on the ''Pyronota'' species. In Macraes Flat, Otago, Stewart (1987) found that a species of ''Pyronota'' beetle followed roughly a two-year life cycle where they would span across two winters as larvae and eventually mature into adult beetles over the following summer - November through to January. As evident through general observation and their preference in habitat, it is clear that warmer temperatures draw the beetle to a specific area. As a result, this significantly increases populations; Stewart (1987) observed that adults became more active when the sun is shining as opposed to overcast days or during the night. This is interesting considering the amount of sunless days that Otago has, compared to Taranaki.<br /> <br /> The two-year life cycle includes a three-step larval stage. Eggs were found in January where they &quot;…spent their first winter as 1st or 2nd instar larvae and their second winter as 3rd instars.&quot; They are given a better chance of enduring their complete life cycle over two years where the conditions meet most of their need. When this isn't the case, they can develop over a shorter time period - sometimes within one year.&lt;ref name=&quot;Stewart&quot;/&gt; During the immature larval stage the species is said to be a minor pest. The larvae then hatch and form as pupae, eating the roots of plants which dominate the pasture soils.&lt;ref name=&quot;Pestweb&quot;&gt;Pestweb, 2015&lt;/ref&gt; As they grow they develop as a C shape. During the third stage they emerge from the tunnels or cracks in the soil during early summer as full-grown beetles to feed on the foliage of manuka plants. This third stage is where the damage caused by the pupae eating the roots of the plants becomes evident over autumn and winter.<br /> <br /> Adult beetles are present a few weeks during late spring and early summer once a year. They fly in warm conditions during the day. Females lay their eggs in pasture soils at depths of up to 10&amp;nbsp;cm. Each female can lay up to 30 or 40 eggs at one time. When numbers reach 350/m2 in one period they begin to form significant damage to the pasture, which is noticeable in the form of yellow, dried-out patches of grass.&lt;ref name=Stewart /&gt;<br /> <br /> The manuka beetle's life cycle is slightly different from those of its relatives, which include other members of the family Scarabaeidae: chafers, dung-beetles and grass grub beetles. Its eggs are laid in the soil, and after hatching into larvae, they have a reasonably lengthy development underground. The adult beetles die a very short time after mating, and their bodies often form drifts or mounds in and around mud or tree roots.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lindsey&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Diet and foraging==<br /> The larvae feed on the roots of the manuka tree, providing the eggs were laid in the soil around a manuka tree. Larvae not in this situation have also been known to feed on matagouri roots and the roots of sweet briar roses. In 70% of cases, larvae were found feeding in the first 4&amp;nbsp;cm of soil, directly below the ‘turf mat'.<br /> <br /> Adult beetles feed on the vegetation of the manuka tree. They also feed on grass roots in agricultural areas, which is the reason they are such a pest to agriculture, as they harm the grass that dairy cows eat.&lt;ref name=&quot;Kleespies&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Kleespies | first1=R. | last2=Marshall | first2=S. | year=2011 | title=Genetic &amp; electron microscope characterisation of Rickettsiella Bacteria from the Manuka Beetle, Pyronota setosa (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae | journal=Invertebrate Pathology |volume=107 | issue=3 |pages=206–211 | doi=10.1016/j.jip.2011.05.017 | pmid=21640120 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Manuka beetles have been studied and examined a lot in the Taranaki region. However, there are low numbers of adult beetles here because of their preference of food. They are not succeeding as well as possible in the Taranaki region because of their low counts of Leptospermum species existing both in present and past times. When manuka plant species are not in abundance, manuka beetles are being forced to feed on &quot;matagouri (''[[Discaria toumatou]]''), sweet briar (''[[Rosa rubiginosa]]''), and ''[[Leptospermum]]'' spp.&quot; &lt;ref name=&quot;Stewart&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Predators, parasites, and diseases==<br /> The green colouring of the adults, and the fact they are diurnal (active during the day), means they are safe from predators because they blend in with the vegetation on which they live.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lindsey&quot;/&gt; Predators include mice, gulls and house sparrows.<br /> <br /> A survey done on Mokoi Island, Lake Rotorua observed house mice, ''[[Mus musculus]]'', and what insects they were eating. Pitfall traps proved that ''Pyronota festiva'' were present throughout the island and suggested that house mice were relying on manuka beetles as one of their main food sources.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url= http://www.doc.govt.nz/documents/science=and-technical/casn343.pdf | title= List of Invertebrates on Mokoia Island, Lake Rotorua | publisher=Department of Conservation }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Red-billed gulls have also been observed flying over farmland at Opoutere, Coromandel Peninsula from sunset, as the light is fading, and consuming small manuka beetles. This was often seen during autumn and winter, when the beetles are less likely to fly and are more vulnerable to predators as they surface from wet pastures due to an increase in rain levels.&lt;ref name=&quot;Bell&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Bell | first1=D. | year=2008 | title=Mutualistic and opportunistic foraging by red-billed gull (Larus novaehollandiae) around Hooker's sea lion (Phocartis hookeri) |url=http://notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_55_4_224.pdf | journal=Notornis | volume=55 |page=224–225}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> House sparrows were mapped to be eating at least three manuka beetles over a period of one to five days, when their chicks are hatching.&lt;ref name=&quot;Department of Conservation&quot;&gt;Department of Conservation, 2001&lt;/ref&gt; They are also a trout food.&lt;ref name=&quot;Manson1960&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last1=Manson|first1=D.

Reed|location=Wellington|page=38}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> However, the beetles are pests, so there are a number of journal articles devoted to researching how to control them by targeting them with bacteria and fungi parasites, so called ‘bio-control’ methods.<br /> <br /> ''Rickettsiella'' bacteria are being researched as a potential bio-control agent to manage the large numbers of the beetles affecting agricultural areas all over New Zealand. This bacterium is said to produce an ‘intracellular infection’ in the beetles, and many other members of their genus.&lt;ref name=&quot;Kleespies&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> As well as this bacterium, the fungus ''[[Beauveria brongniartii]]'' is being tested to help Cape Foulwind dairy farmers attack the pest. It is achieving relatively high rates of mortality in the larvae stage of the beetles. The fungal infection affects only an isolated selection of ‘scarab’ beetles, which means that it might, but is unlikely to spread onto other harmless beetles (depending on what they are).&lt;ref name=&quot;Townsend&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Townsend | first1=R. | last2=Nelson | first2=T. | year=2010 | title=Beauveria brongniartii – Potential biocontrol agent for use against Manuka Beetle larvae damaging dairy pastures on Cape Foulwind| journal= New Zealand Plant Protection|volume=63 |pages=224–228 | doi=10.30843/nzpp.2010.63.6572 | doi-access=free }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Cultural uses==<br /> <br /> There are several records of the manuka beetle being used by the indigenous Maori tribes all over New Zealand. The piles of dead adult beetle bodies that form in and around shallow water, mud and vegetation, were often collected and eaten by Maori as a delicacy.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lindsey&quot;/&gt; Another report states that when the Maori tribes settled in New Zealand, manuka beetles were among the insects that they occasionally ate. Other uses by Maori include the beetle's antiseptic qualities and ability to reduce fevers and stomachaches. More fleshy insects like the larvae of the cerambycid beetle, or ‘huhu grub’ (as well as the adult beetle) were more widely eaten. Manuka beetles (and Puriri moths) were also used for medicinal purposes.&lt;ref name=&quot;Meyer-Rochow&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Meyer-Rochow | first1=V. | last2=Changkija | first2=S. | year=1997 | title=Uses of Insects as Human Food in Papua New Guinea, Australia, and North-East India: Cross-Cultural considerations and cautious conclusions| journal=Ecology of Food and Nutrition |volume=36 | issue=2–4 |pages=159–185 | doi=10.1080/03670244.1997.9991513 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ''New Zealand Fishing'' (1998) discusses how manuka beetles are more active during hours of daylight in November/December and can be seen lying on the surface of the water as a result of heavy winds.

It looks similar to a green manuka beetle and is designed specifically to catch trout during the summer months.&lt;ref name=&quot;New Zealand fishing&quot;&gt;''New Zealand Fishing'', 1998&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Interesting facts==<br /> Apart from severe damage to farmland, ''Pyronota festiva'' has been associated with major damage in the fruit trees of peaches and nectarines.&lt;ref name=&quot;Kemp&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Kemp | first1=W. | year=1971 | title=Growing Peaches and Nectarines: Insect Pests| journal=New Zealand Journal of Agriculture |volume=123 |pages=77–79 }}&lt;/ref&gt; They have vast effects - with the aid of damage done by other insects - on the leaf and the fruit itself. Research has generally only associated the species with native grasses and farmlands, it is notable that their scope of damage is so wide.<br /> <br /> Full-grown beetles feed on manuka plants, which have an oil compound which makes their exterior cases hard. They also contain chiral material in their hard exterior cases. When placed under a microscope with light, complexities are revealed in these multilayered chiral coatings, creating green, metallic-like reflections.<br /> <br /> The manuka beetle can be successfully controlled through the idea of 'hoof and tooth'. Heavily stocking a pasture block during winter when the soil is very moist will cause the beetle larvae to be crushed by stock treading, causing numbers to be reduced dramatically.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist|30em}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * The mānuka beetle discussed in [[Radio New Zealand|RNZ]] ''[[Critter of the Week]]'', [https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2018758478/critter-of-the-week-manuka-chafer-beetle 7 Aug 2020]<br /> {{Taxonbar|from=Q1942668}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scarabaeidae]]<br /> [[Category:Beetles of New Zealand]]<br /> [[Category:Beetles described in 1775]]<br /> [[Category:Taxa named by Johan Christian Fabricius]]<br /> [[Category:Endemic fauna of New Zealand]]</div> Nickwilso https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PACMAD_clade&diff=998604041 PACMAD clade 2021-01-06T04:44:17Z <p>Nickwilso: Typo</p> <hr /> <div>{{Short description|A major clade in the grass family Poaceae}}<br /> {{Automatic taxobox<br /> |image = Panicum virgatum.jpg<br /> |image_caption = switchgrass (''[[Panicum virgatum]]'')<br /> |taxon = PACMAD clade<br /> |subdivision_ranks = Subfamilies<br /> |subdivision = * [[Aristidoideae]]<br /> * [[Arundinoideae]]<br /> * [[Chloridoideae]]<br /> * [[Danthonioideae]]<br /> * [[Micrairoideae]]<br /> * [[Panicoideae]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> The '''PACMAD clade''' (previously PACCMAD, PACCAD, or PACC&lt;ref name=&quot;SorengPeterson2015&quot;/&gt;) is one of two major [[lineage (evolution)|lineages]] (or [[clade]]s) of the true grasses ([[Poaceae]]), regrouping six subfamilies and about 5700 species, more than half of all true grasses.

He was interested in the manufacturing of cotton goods so he took out a loan of $2,000 and opened his company in New Jersey, which would later grow into New York. Although Avery's family had their financial struggles, she had a very pleasant childhood. As a child, Avery would read the stock market to her father since he could not read. Her parents stressed the importance of an education and reading became a great hobby of Avery's.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Gartner|first=Lawrence|date=April 4, 1998|title=ORAL HISTORY PROJECT, Mary Ellen Avery, MD|url=https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/Pediatric-History-Center/Documents/Avery.pdf|pages=85}}&lt;/ref&gt; An early inspiration was pediatrician [[Emily Bacon]], who was a professor of pediatrics at Woman's Medical College.

At the time, Avery was not old enough to attend school, so her mother worked to have the rules changed. Avery was able to begin her education earlier than others, which put her ahead of children in her age group. She continued to be successful in school and even skipped the seventh grade. Avery and her sister were the first in their family to attend college. She went on to attend Wheaton College while her sister finished up at New Jersey College for Women.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Gartner|first=Lawrence|date=April 4, 1998|title=Oral history project, Mary Ellen Avery MD|url=https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/Pediatric-History-Center/Documents/Avery.pdf|pages=85}}&lt;/ref&gt; Graduating summa cum laude from [[Wheaton College (Massachusetts)|Wheaton College]] in 1948 with a degree in [[chemistry]], Mary Ellen Avery continued to earn a medical degree from the [[Johns Hopkins University]] School of Medicine, where she was one of four women in a class of 90, in 1952.&lt;ref name=&quot;nytimes&quot; /&gt; Emily Bacon had attended Johns Hopkins and this was a huge motivation for Avery to get in.

Being only one of four women, Avery received a lot of attention from her mentors. Soon after graduating, Dr. Avery was diagnosed with [[tuberculosis]], and it was during her recuperation that she became fascinated with how the [[lungs]] work.&lt;ref name=&quot;nytimes&quot; /&gt; Rest and medication would cure her, but she went about the regimen her own way. Once she realized she was exhibiting no symptoms, she decided to go to Europe with a friend. &quot;I packed one suitcase of medication and another suitcase of clothes, and spent three months in Europe on a regimen that I programmed for myself,&quot; Avery said. &quot;It consisted of 12 hours in bed every night, and in the daytime mostly walking around and looking at exhibits and enjoying myself, but not anything strenuous.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Career ==<br /> Avery returned to Johns Hopkins for her internship and residency, and then moved to [[Boston]] in 1957 for a research fellowship in [[pediatrics]] at [[Harvard Medical School]]. At Harvard, Dr. Avery made a major discovery while comparing the lungs of infants who had died of [[Infant respiratory distress syndrome|RDS]] to those of healthy animals. &quot;It's all because they had something they would have not needed before birth because they weren't using their lungs for ventilation before birth. But after birth, without it, they could not live more than a day or two. And therefore I found what was missing.&quot; What she had found was a foamy substance that she deduced must play a critical role. Dr. Avery's observation formed the basis of a breakthrough paper published in the [[American Journal of Diseases of Children]] in 1959. By 1995 there were 1,460 infant deaths a year in the U.S. from RDS, down from almost 10,000 a year twenty-five years earlier.<br /> <br /> In 1960, Avery became an assistant professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University and pediatrician in charge of newborn nurseries. In 1969, she was appointed physician-in-chief of the Montreal Children's Hospital, the first woman to serve in that position.&lt;ref&gt;Montreal Gazette, June 10, 2019&lt;/ref&gt; At the same time, she was appointed professor and the first woman&lt;ref name=&quot;healio.com&quot;&gt;{{Cite <br /> eb|url=https://www.healio.com/pediatrics/news/print/infectious-diseases-in-children/%7Be7492b78-91d2-4f84-aef9-c4e99a59c661%7D/a-tribute-to-an-unforgettable-mentor|title=A tribute to an unforgettable mentor|website=www.healio.com|access-date=2018-04-25}}&lt;/ref&gt; chair of the department of pediatrics at [[McGill University]].

Most of the species—and the best-known—are those in the subclass [[Eucestoda]]; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, known as '''tapeworms'''. Their bodies consist of many similar units known as proglottids - essentially packages of eggs which are regularly shed into the environment to infect other organisms. Species of the other subclass, [[Cestodaria]], are mainly fish parasites.<br /> <br /> All '''cestodes''' are [[parasitism|parasitic]]; many have complex [[Life history theory|life histories]], including a stage in a [[Host (biology)#Definitive and secondary hosts|definitive (main) host]] in which the adults grow and reproduce, often for years, and one or two intermediate stages in which the [[larva]]e develop in other hosts. Typically the adults live in the [[digestive tract]]s of [[vertebrate]]s, while the larvae often live in the bodies of other animals, either vertebrates or invertebrates. For example, ''[[Diphyllobothrium]]'' has at least two intermediate hosts, a [[crustacean]] and then one or more freshwater fish; its definitive host is a mammal. Some cestodes are host-specific, while others are parasites of a wide variety of [[Host (biology)|hosts]]. Some six thousand species have been described; probably all vertebrates can host at least one species.<br /> <br /> The adult tapeworm has a scolex (head), a short neck, and a strobila (segmented body) formed of [[#Proglottids|proglottids]]. Tapeworms anchor themselves to the inside of the intestine of their host using their scolex, which typically has hooks, [[Sucker (zoology)|suckers]], or both. They have no mouth, but absorb nutrients directly from the host's gut. The neck continually produces proglottids, each one containing a reproductive tract; mature proglottids are full of eggs, and fall off to leave the host, either passively in the feces or actively moving. All tapeworms are hermaphrodites, with each individual having both male and female reproductive organs.<br /> <br /> Humans are subject to infection by several species of tapeworms if they eat undercooked meat such as [[pork]] (''[[Taenia solium]]''), beef (''[[Taenia saginata|T. saginata]]''), and fish (''Diphyllobothrium''), or if they live in, or eat food prepared in, conditions of poor hygiene (''[[Hymenolepis (tapeworm)|Hymenolepis]]'' or ''[[Echinococcus]]'' species).

All but [[Amphilinidea|amphilinids]] and [[Gyrocotylidea|gyrocotylids]] (which burrow through the gut or body wall to reach the coelom&lt;ref name=Cheng2012/&gt;) are intestinal, though some life-cycle stages rest in muscle or other tissues. The definitive host is always a vertebrate but in nearly all cases, one or more intermediate hosts are involved in the lifecycle, typically [[arthropod]]s or other vertebrates.&lt;ref name=Ruppert/&gt; Infections can be long-lasting; in humans, tapeworm infection may last as much as 30 years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mayo&quot;&gt;{{cite web |title=Tapeworm infection |url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tapeworm/symptoms-causes/syc-20378174 |publisher=Mayo Clinic |access-date=23 July 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt; No [[asexual reproduction|asexual phases]] occur in the lifecycle, as they do in other [[platyhelminthes|flatworms]], but the lifecycle pattern has been a crucial criterion for assessing evolution among Platyhelminthes.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |author=Llewellyn, J. |title=Phylogenetic inference from platyhelminth life-cycle stages |journal=International Journal for Parasitology |volume=17 |issue=1 | pages=281–289 |year=1987 |doi=10.1016/0020-7519(87)90051-8|pmid=3294640 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Cestodes produce large numbers of eggs, but each one has a low probability of finding a host. To increase their chances, different species have adopted various strategies of egg release. In the Pseudophyllidea, many eggs are released in the brief period when their aquatic intermediate hosts are abundant (semelparity). In contrast, in the terrestrial Cyclophyllidea, proglottids are released steadily over a period of years, or as long as their host lives (iteroparity). Another strategy is to have very long-lived larvae; for example, in ''Echinococcus'', the hydatid larvae can survive for ten years or more in humans and other vertebrate hosts, giving the tapeworm an exceptionally long time window in which to find another host.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mackiewicz1988&quot;&gt;{{cite journal |last1=Mackiewicz |first1=John S. |title=Cestode Transmission Patterns |journal=Journal of Parasitology |date=February 1988 |volume=74 |issue=1 |pages=60–71 |jstor=3282479|doi=10.2307/3282479 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Many tapeworms have a two-phase lifecycle with two types of host. The adult ''Taenia saginata'' lives in the gut of a primate such as a human, its definitive host. Proglottids leave the body through the anus and fall to the ground, where they may be eaten with grass by a grazing animal such as a cow. This animal then becomes an intermediate host, the oncosphere boring through the gut wall and migrating to another part of the body such as the muscle. Here it encysts, forming a [[cysticercus]]. The parasite completes its lifecycle when the intermediate host passes on the parasite to the definitive host, usually when the definitive host eats contaminated parts of the intermediate host, for example a human eating raw or undercooked meat.&lt;ref name=Ruppert/&gt; Another two-phase lifecycle is exhibited by ''[[Anoplocephala perfoliata]]'', the definitive host being an equine and the intermediate host an [[Oribatida|oribatid mite]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.merckvetmanual.com/digestive-system/gastrointestinal-parasites-of-horses/tapeworms-in-horses| title=Tapeworms in Horses |work=Merck Veterinary Manual |access-date=21 May 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ''[[Diphyllobothrium]]'' exhibits a more complex, three-phase lifecycle. If the eggs are laid in water, they develop into free-swimming oncosphere larvae. After ingestion by a suitable freshwater crustacean such as a [[copepod]], the first intermediate host, they develop into [[procercoid]] larvae. When the copepod is eaten by a suitable second intermediate host, typically a minnow or other small freshwater fish, the procercoid larvae migrate into the fish's flesh where they develop into [[plerocercoid]] larvae. These are the infective stages for the mammalian definitive host. If the small fish is eaten by a predatory fish, its muscles too can become infected.&lt;ref name=Ruppert/&gt;<br /> <br /> ''[[Schistocephalus solidus]]'' is another three-phase example. The intermediate hosts are copepods and small fish, and the definitive hosts are waterbirds. This species has been used to demonstrate that cross-fertilisation produces a higher infective success rate than self-fertilisation.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |author1=Christen, M. |author2=Kurtz, J. |author3=Milinski, M. |title=Outcrossing increases infection success and competitive ability: experimental evidence from a hermaphrodite parasite |journal=Evolution |volume=56 |issue=11 |pages=2243–2251 |year=2002 |pmid=12487354 |doi=10.1554/0014-3820(2002)056[2243:oiisac]2.0.co;2}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Host immunity==<br /> <br /> Hosts can become immune to infection by a cestode if the lining, the mucosa, of the gut is damaged. This exposes the host's [[immune system]] to cestode [[antigen]]s, enabling the host to mount an [[antibody]] defence. Host antibodies can kill or limit cestode infection by damaging their digestive enzymes, which reduces their ability to feed and therefore to grow and to reproduce; by binding to their bodies; and by neutralising toxins that they produce. When cestodes feed passively in the gut, they do not provoke an antibody reaction.&lt;ref name=&quot;ChengImmunity&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last1=Cheng|first1=Thomas C.|title=General Parasitology|date=1973|publisher=Academic Press|pages=535–536}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Evolution and phylogeny==<br /> <br /> ===Fossil history===<br /> Parasite fossils are rare, but recognizable clusters of cestode eggs, some with an operculum (lid) indicating that they had not erupted, one with a developing larva, have been discovered in fossil shark [[coprolite]]s dating to the [[Permian]], some 270 million years ago.&lt;ref name=&quot;Paula2013&quot;&gt;[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130130184200.htm &quot;Tapeworm Eggs Discovered in 270-Million-Year-Old Fossil Shark faeces&quot;, ''ScienceDaily, 30 January 2013]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Dentzien-Dias Poinar de Figueiredo Pacheco p=e55007&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last=Dentzien-Dias | first=Paula C. | last2=Poinar | first2=George | last3=de Figueiredo | first3=Ana Emilia Q. | last4=Pacheco | first4=Ana Carolina L. | last5=Horn | first5=Bruno L.

Most of the species—and the best-known—are those in the subclass [[Eucestoda]]; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, known as '''tapeworms'''. Their bodies consist of many similar units, known as proglottids, which are essentially packages of eggs which are regularly shed into the environment to infect other organisms. Species of the other subclass, [[Cestodaria]], are mainly fish parasites.<br /> <br /> All '''cestodes''' are [[parasitism|parasitic]]; many have complex [[Life history theory|life histories]], including a stage in a [[Host (biology)#Definitive and secondary hosts|definitive (main) host]] in which the adults grow and reproduce, often for years, and one or two intermediate stages in which the [[larva]]e develop in other hosts. Typically the adults live in the [[digestive tract]]s of [[vertebrate]]s, while the larvae often live in the bodies of other animals, either vertebrates or invertebrates. For example, ''[[Diphyllobothrium]]'' has at least two intermediate hosts, a [[crustacean]] and then one or more freshwater fish; its definitive host is a mammal. Some cestodes are host-specific, while others are parasites of a wide variety of [[Host (biology)|hosts]]. Some six thousand species have been described; probably all vertebrates can host at least one species.<br /> <br /> The adult tapeworm has a scolex (head), a short neck, and a strobila (segmented body) formed of [[#Proglottids|proglottids]]. Tapeworms anchor themselves to the inside of the intestine of their host using their scolex, which typically has hooks, [[Sucker (zoology)|suckers]], or both. They have no mouth, but absorb nutrients directly from the host's gut. The neck continually produces proglottids, each one containing a reproductive tract; mature proglottids are full of eggs, and fall off to leave the host, either passively in the feces or actively moving. All tapeworms are hermaphrodites, with each individual having both male and female reproductive organs.<br /> <br /> Humans are subject to infection by several species of tapeworms if they eat undercooked meat such as [[pork]] (''[[Taenia solium]]''), beef (''[[Taenia saginata|T. saginata]]''), and fish (''Diphyllobothrium''), or if they live in, or eat food prepared in, conditions of poor hygiene (''[[Hymenolepis (tapeworm)|Hymenolepis]]'' or ''[[Echinococcus]]'' species). The unproven concept of using tapeworms as a [[Diet pill|slimming aid]] has been touted since around 1900. <br /> <br /> == Diversity and habitat==<br /> <br /> All 6000 species of Cestoda are [[parasite]]s, mainly intestinal; their definitive hosts are vertebrates, both terrestrial and marine, while their [[intermediate host]]s include insects, crustaceans, molluscs, and annelids as well as other vertebrates.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ruppert&quot;&gt;{{cite book|title=Invertebrate Zoology, 7th edition|last1=Ruppert|first1=Edward E.|last2=Fox|first2=Richard, S.|last3=Barnes|first3=Robert D.|publisher=Cengage Learning|year=2004|isbn=978-81-315-0104-7|pages=258–263}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ''T. saginata'', the beef tapeworm, can grow up to 20&amp;nbsp;m (65&amp;nbsp;ft); the largest species, the whale tapeworm ''[[Tetragonoporus|Tetragonoporus calyptocephalus]]'', can grow to over 30&amp;nbsp;m (100&amp;nbsp;ft).&lt;ref name=&quot;time-1957&quot;&gt;{{cite magazine |date=8 April 1957 |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,809356-1,00.html |title=The Persistent Parasites |magazine=Time Magazine |publisher=Time Inc}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;hargis&quot;&gt;{{cite journal |year=1985 |author=Hargis, William J. |title=Parasitology and pathology of marine organisms of the world ocean |journal=NOAA Tech.

All but [[Amphilinidea|amphilinids]] and [[Gyrocotylidea|gyrocotylids]] (which burrow through the gut or body wall to reach the coelom&lt;ref name=Cheng2012/&gt;) are intestinal, though some life-cycle stages rest in muscle or other tissues. The definitive host is always a vertebrate but in nearly all cases, one or more intermediate hosts are involved in the lifecycle, typically [[arthropod]]s or other vertebrates.&lt;ref name=Ruppert/&gt; Infections can be long-lasting; in humans, tapeworm infection may last as much as 30 years.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mayo&quot;&gt;{{cite web |title=Tapeworm infection |url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tapeworm/symptoms-causes/syc-20378174 |publisher=Mayo Clinic |access-date=23 July 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt; No [[asexual reproduction|asexual phases]] occur in the lifecycle, as they do in other [[platyhelminthes|flatworms]], but the lifecycle pattern has been a crucial criterion for assessing evolution among Platyhelminthes.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |author=Llewellyn, J. |title=Phylogenetic inference from platyhelminth life-cycle stages |journal=International Journal for Parasitology |volume=17 |issue=1 | pages=281–289 |year=1987 |doi=10.1016/0020-7519(87)90051-8|pmid=3294640 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Cestodes produce large numbers of eggs, but each one has a low probability of finding a host. To increase their chances, different species have adopted various strategies of egg release. In the Pseudophyllidea, many eggs are released in the brief period when their aquatic intermediate hosts are abundant (semelparity). In contrast, in the terrestrial Cyclophyllidea, proglottids are released steadily over a period of years, or as long as their host lives (iteroparity). Another strategy is to have very long-lived larvae; for example, in ''Echinococcus'', the hydatid larvae can survive for ten years or more in humans and other vertebrate hosts, giving the tapeworm an exceptionally long time window in which to find another host.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mackiewicz1988&quot;&gt;{{cite journal |last1=Mackiewicz |first1=John S. |title=Cestode Transmission Patterns |journal=Journal of Parasitology |date=February 1988 |volume=74 |issue=1 |pages=60–71 |jstor=3282479|doi=10.2307/3282479 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Many tapeworms have a two-phase lifecycle with two types of host. The adult ''Taenia saginata'' lives in the gut of a primate such as a human, its definitive host. Proglottids leave the body through the anus and fall to the ground, where they may be eaten with grass by a grazing animal such as a cow. This animal then becomes an intermediate host, the oncosphere boring through the gut wall and migrating to another part of the body such as the muscle. Here it encysts, forming a [[cysticercus]]. The parasite completes its lifecycle when the intermediate host passes on the parasite to the definitive host, usually when the definitive host eats contaminated parts of the intermediate host, for example a human eating raw or undercooked meat.&lt;ref name=Ruppert/&gt; Another two-phase lifecycle is exhibited by ''[[Anoplocephala perfoliata]]'', the definitive host being an equine and the intermediate host an [[Oribatida|oribatid mite]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.merckvetmanual.com/digestive-system/gastrointestinal-parasites-of-horses/tapeworms-in-horses| title=Tapeworms in Horses |work=Merck Veterinary Manual |access-date=21 May 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ''[[Diphyllobothrium]]'' exhibits a more complex, three-phase lifecycle. If the eggs are laid in water, they develop into free-swimming oncosphere larvae. After ingestion by a suitable freshwater crustacean such as a [[copepod]], the first intermediate host, they develop into [[procercoid]] larvae. When the copepod is eaten by a suitable second intermediate host, typically a minnow or other small freshwater fish, the procercoid larvae migrate into the fish's flesh where they develop into [[plerocercoid]] larvae. These are the infective stages for the mammalian definitive host. If the small fish is eaten by a predatory fish, its muscles too can become infected.&lt;ref name=Ruppert/&gt;<br /> <br /> ''[[Schistocephalus solidus]]'' is another three-phase example. The intermediate hosts are copepods and small fish, and the definitive hosts are waterbirds. This species has been used to demonstrate that cross-fertilisation produces a higher infective success rate than self-fertilisation.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |author1=Christen, M. |author2=Kurtz, J. |author3=Milinski, M. |title=Outcrossing increases infection success and competitive ability: experimental evidence from a hermaphrodite parasite |journal=Evolution |volume=56 |issue=11 |pages=2243–2251 |year=2002 |pmid=12487354 |doi=10.1554/0014-3820(2002)056[2243:oiisac]2.0.co;2}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Host immunity==<br /> <br /> Hosts can become immune to infection by a cestode if the lining, the mucosa, of the gut is damaged. This exposes the host's [[immune system]] to cestode [[antigen]]s, enabling the host to mount an [[antibody]] defence. Host antibodies can kill or limit cestode infection by damaging their digestive enzymes, which reduces their ability to feed and therefore to grow and to reproduce; by binding to their bodies; and by neutralising toxins that they produce. When cestodes feed passively in the gut, they do not provoke an antibody reaction.&lt;ref name=&quot;ChengImmunity&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last1=Cheng|first1=Thomas C.|title=General Parasitology|date=1973|publisher=Academic Press|pages=535–536}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Evolution and phylogeny==<br /> <br /> ===Fossil history===<br /> Parasite fossils are rare, but recognizable clusters of cestode eggs, some with an operculum (lid) indicating that they had not erupted, one with a developing larva, have been discovered in fossil shark [[coprolite]]s dating to the [[Permian]], some 270 million years ago.&lt;ref name=&quot;Paula2013&quot;&gt;[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130130184200.htm &quot;Tapeworm Eggs Discovered in 270-Million-Year-Old Fossil Shark faeces&quot;, ''ScienceDaily, 30 January 2013]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Dentzien-Dias Poinar de Figueiredo Pacheco p=e55007&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last=Dentzien-Dias | first=Paula C. | last2=Poinar | first2=George | last3=de Figueiredo | first3=Ana Emilia Q. | last4=Pacheco | first4=Ana Carolina L. | last5=Horn | first5=Bruno L.

A [[remake]] of the [[Brothers (2004 film)|2004 Danish film]], it follows [[Captain (United States O-3)|Captain]] Sam Cahill (portrayed by [[Tobey Maguire]]), a presumed-dead [[Prisoner of war|prisoner]] of the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|War in Afghanistan]] who deals with [[Post-traumatic stress disorder|post-traumatic stress]] while reintegrating into society following his release from captivity. The film also stars [[Jake Gyllenhaal]] as Cahill's brother and [[Natalie Portman]] as his wife. Both films take inspiration from [[Homer]]'s epic poem the ''[[Odyssey]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|author=All Things Considered |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120933017 |title=Director Jim Sheridan On 'Brothers' |publisher=NPR |date=2009-11-29 |access-date=2012-12-26}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The film received a mixed to positive response and grossed $43 million. Maguire received particular praise for his performance, receiving a [[Golden Globe Award|Golden Globe]] nomination for [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama|Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama]].<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> [[United States Marine Corps]] captain Sam Cahill is about to embark on his fourth combat deployment. He is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart Grace, and together they raise two young daughters, Isabelle and Maggie. Sam's brother Tommy is a convicted felon who is released from prison a few days before Sam deploys to [[Afghanistan]] in October 2007. At a family dinner with Tommy and Sam's parents Hank and Elsie, Maggie reveals to Tommy that Grace dislikes him, and Hank insults Tommy for his time in prison and lack of success compared to Sam.<br /> <br /> During Sam's tour, his [[Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk|Blackhawk]] helicopter is shot down while conducting an operation in the [[Helmand Province]], apparently killing all of the Marines aboard. Unknown to anyone, Sam and one of the Marines in his command, Joe Willis, are taken [[prisoner of war|prisoner]] in a mountain village by [[Taliban]] Fighters. Sam and Joe are both assumed to have been killed in action and are declared dead. At Sam's funeral, Tommy notices Hank drinking and stops him from driving home with Elsie and the girls in the car. Hank again berates Tommy for his past mistakes and tells him that Sam was a better son. The two argue about which one of them is more to blame for Sam's death. <br /> <br /> With Sam gone, Tommy attempts to redeem himself in the eyes of his family and convinces some of his friends to help with a kitchen remodel for Grace. As months pass, Hank and Tommy mend their relationship as Tommy matures and continues to help Grace. Grace slowly sheds her previous resentment towards her brother-in-law, aided by his growing paternal connection with Isabelle and Maggie. Grace and Tommy continue to bond over their mutual mourning, culminating in a passionate fireside kiss. They immediately regret it and do not take their attraction any further, though Tommy continues to win the favor of his nieces. Meanwhile, Sam and Joe are tortured by their captor and instructed to make videotaped dismissals of the military and their mission, though only Joe cracks. The captors eventually deem him useless and force Sam at gunpoint to beat Joe to death with a lead pipe, which they also record.<br /> <br /> Sometime later, Sam is rescued by American forces in an attack on the Taliban base that destroys the tape of him killing Joe. Once he returns home, Sam drifts through a cold, paranoid daze and shows signs of severe [[post-traumatic stress disorder]] due to the traumatic events he witnessed and committed in Afghanistan. Refusing to explain to his family what happened while he was there, Sam also lies to Joe's widow and claims he does not know how Joe died. His paranoia also leads him to believe Grace cheated on him with Tommy in his absence. During Maggie's 6th birthday party at Hank and Elsie's home, a resentful and jealous Isabelle falsely claims that Tommy and Grace are having an affair and that Grace would rather sleep with Tommy than Sam. After the family returns home, Sam becomes [[Tantrum|enraged]], destroying the newly remodeled kitchen with a crow bar and pulling a [[Beretta 92|pistol]] on Tommy, who arrives and tries to calm his brother's [[Mental disorder|violent breakdown]].<br /> <br /> The police arrive, and enter a standoff in which Sam fires the gun into the air and then holds it to his head, contemplating [[suicide]]. He reluctantly surrenders after several pleas from Tommy and Grace. After the police arrest Sam, he is admitted to a [[mental hospital]]. Grace visits him and tells him that if he does not tell her what is tormenting him, he will lose her forever. Faced with this decision, Sam finally opens up about the source of his pain, confiding in her that he killed Joe. As Sam and Grace embrace, we hear Sam wondering (via narration) if he will be able to continue living a normal life.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> * [[Tobey Maguire]] as Capt.
