Cenometra bella is a species of crinoids belonging to the genus Cenometra.They can have up to 30 arms [2] and can be of variable colours but are often characterised by a marked contrast between the extending free-arms and the feathery pinnules (for example, dark brown and white). [2]
Sixty percent of the dog's body mass falls on the front legs. [14] The dog has a cardiovascular system. The dog's muscles provide the dog with the ability to jump and leap. Their legs can propel them to leap forward rapidly to chase and overcome prey. They have small, tight feet and walk on their toes (thus having a digitigrade stance and ...
Articulata are a subclass or superorder within the class Crinoidea, including all living crinoid species. They are commonly known as sea lilies (stalked crinoids) or feather stars (unstalked crinoids). The Articulata are differentiated from the extinct subclasses by their lack of an anal plate in the adult stage and the presence of an ...
A stalked crinoid (white) and a comatulid (red) in deep sea, showing the differences between these two sister groups. Most modern crinoids, i.e., the feather stars, are free-moving and lack a stem as adults. Examples of fossil crinoids that have been interpreted as free-swimming include Marsupites, Saccocoma and Uintacrinus. [23]
Canine transmissible venereal tumors are histiocytic tumors that may be transmitted among dogs through coitus, licking, biting and sniffing tumor affected areas. The concept that the tumor is naturally transmissible as an allograft came from three important observations. First, CTVTs can only be experimentally induced by transplanting living ...
The World Canine Federation recognizes 350 unique dog breeds. In the U.S. The American Kennel Club now recognizes 209 breeds. That’s…a lot of dogs. To better understand each breed, humans have ...
One proposal for the cladistic placement of the Homalozoan classes groups Stylophora together with crinoids to form Crinozoa. [7] A 2024 survey of recent research finds more support for Homalozoa as a paraphyletic assemblage along the echinoderm stem group, but noted that the position of Stylophora in particular was uncertain.

Female dogs who are not spayed or who are spayed later than the first heat cycle are more likely to develop mammary tumors. Dogs have an overall reported incidence of mammary tumors of 3.4 percent. Dogs spayed before their first heat have 0.5 percent of this risk, and dogs spayed after just one heat cycle have 8 percent of this risk. [1]
