  2. Discrete group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_group

    Fuchsian groups are, by definition, discrete subgroups of the isometry group of the hyperbolic plane. A Fuchsian group that preserves orientation and acts on the upper half-plane model of the hyperbolic plane is a discrete subgroup of the Lie group PSL(2, R ), the group of orientation preserving isometries of the upper half-plane model of the ...

  8. Colony (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_(biology)

    In biology, a colony is composed of two or more conspecific individuals living in close association with, or connected to, one another. This association is usually for mutual benefit such as stronger defense or the ability to attack bigger prey. [1]

  9. Species complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_complex

    A species complex is typically considered as a group of close, but distinct species. [5] Obviously, the concept is closely tied to the definition of a species. Modern biology understands a species as "separately evolving metapopulation lineage" but acknowledges that the criteria to delimit species may depend on the group studied. [6]
