Ambiguity

Ambiguity is the type of meaning in which a phrase, statement, or resolution is not explicitly defined, making for several interpretations; others describe it as a concept or statement that has no real reference.

See Tetrapulmonata and Ambiguity

Amblypygi

Amblypygi is an order of arachnids also known as whip spiders or tailless whip scorpions, not to be confused with whip scorpions or vinegaroons that belong to the related order Thelyphonida. Tetrapulmonata and Amblypygi are Cenozoic arachnids, Extant Pennsylvanian first appearances and Mesozoic arachnids.

In phylogenetics, an apomorphy (or derived trait) is a novel character or character state that has evolved from its ancestral form (or plesiomorphy).

Clade

In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.

See Tetrapulmonata and Clade

Cladistics (journal)

Cladistics is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal which has published research in cladistics since 1985.

Cladogram

A cladogram (from Greek clados "branch" and gramma "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms.

Convergent evolution

Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different periods or epochs in time.

Douglassarachne

Douglassarachne is an extinct genus of arachnid from the Late Carboniferous (Moscovian), known from single species D. acanthopoda.

Gastropods, commonly known as slugs and snails, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.

International Code of Zoological Nomenclature

The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals.

Journal of Paleontology

The Journal of Paleontology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the field of paleontology.

Microtubule

Microtubules are polymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure and shape to eukaryotic cells.

See Tetrapulmonata and Microtubule

Molecular phylogenetics

Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.

See Tetrapulmonata and Molecular phylogenetics

Neontology

Neontology is a part of biology that, in contrast to paleontology, deals with living (or, more generally, recent) organisms.

See Tetrapulmonata and Neontology

Order (biology)

Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Tetrapulmonata and Order (biology)

Pennsylvanian (geology)

The Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, on the ICS geologic timescale, the younger of two subperiods of the Carboniferous Period (or the upper of two subsystems of the Carboniferous System).

Phrynus

Phrynus is a genus of whip spiders found in tropical and subtropical regions, mostly in the new world.

See Tetrapulmonata and Phrynus

Plesiomorphy and symplesiomorphy

In phylogenetics, a plesiomorphy ("near form") and symplesiomorphy are synonyms for an ancestral character shared by all members of a clade, which does not distinguish the clade from other clades.

See Tetrapulmonata and Plesiomorphy and symplesiomorphy

Plesiosiro

Plesiosiro is an extinct arachnid genus known exclusively from nine specimens from the Upper Carboniferous of Coseley, Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

See Tetrapulmonata and Plesiosiro

Pulmonata

Pulmonata or pulmonates is an informal group (previously an order, and before that, a subclass) of snails and slugs characterized by the ability to breathe air, by virtue of having a pallial lung instead of a gill, or gills.

See Tetrapulmonata and Pulmonata

Resampling (statistics)

In statistics, resampling is the creation of new samples based on one observed sample.

See Tetrapulmonata and Resampling (statistics)
