show all records
bilaterally symmetric
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001324
- Definition: being symmetric about a plane running from frontal end to caudal end (head to tail), and having nearly identical right and left halves
show all records
cellularity
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001992
- Definition: An organismal quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearers consisting cells. [ PATOC:GVG ]
show all records
multicellular
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001993
- Definition: A cellularity quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearers consisting of more than one cell. [ PATOC:GVG ]
show all records
developmental mode
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/DevelopmentalMode
- Definition: Broad recognized categories describing development, the process by which organisms grow and mature
show all records
ametabolous
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/ametabolous
- Definition: Development of insects without the process of metamorphosis, resulting in little change in body form during growth and molting.
show all records
feeding structure
- URI: https://eol.org/schema/terms/FeedingStructure
- Definition: The morphological structure of body parts used to ingest food.
show all records
biting-chewing mouthparts
- URI: https://eol.org/schema/terms/bitingChewing
- Definition: Mouthparts adapted to cutting and grinding food particles using opposable mandibles with a mola (grinding surface).
show all records
visual system
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002104
- Definition: The sensory system subserving the sense of vision.
show all records
stemmata
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0000046
- Definition: Eye-spots which may be set into a pit to reduce the angles of light that enters, to allow the organism to deduce the angle of incoming light. Lens-like structures may be present, but stemmata, unlike lens eyes, cannot form an image, either for lack of refractive power or retinal resolution.
show all records
wing morphology
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/WingMorphology
- Definition: Qualities pertaining to the size, shape or structure of the wing.
show all records
primarily apterous
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/primarilyApterous
- Definition: The absence of wings in organisms that do not have winged ancestors.
