I remember reading the original post about these critters a long time ago, It's fun seeing how much this concept has crystalised and solidified!<br /><br />The paragraph about color contrast was most intriguing! Really learned something new today! :)Petrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537642993606964893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-41324052349737845072018-04-01T14:39:12.502+02:002018-04-01T14:39:12.502+02:00I reread some of the links you provided - and in t...I reread some of the links you provided - and in the caption to an illustration, there it was.<br /><br />>It's still easier than Honinini, Hominidae, Homininae and Hominida<br />Very true...though to be fair, those four are all humans&relatives, and not some are human relatives, and one or two are lions or slugs or moas.<br /><br />-Anthony docimoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-20479300459126645572018-04-01T12:41:01.120+02:002018-04-01T12:41:01.120+02:00L13B3 14641: Interesting idea about going to verte...L13B3 14641: Interesting idea about going to vertebrates; perhaps I should have used purely radial structures such as fin rays of fish. This does raise the question why insect wings have veins that are connected in two directions while the fin rays of fish mostly radiate away from the fin root, and are not connected by transverse rods to the rays next to them. I do not know the answer...<br /> And I'm glad lou liked the Red baorn's catcher's legs.<br /><br />Anthony: I'm surprised anyone actually remembered the formal name of Furaha's other flying group! I guess students of Furahan biology simply have to pay attention to distinguish betwen tetrapters and tetrapterates. It's still easier than Honinini, Hominidae, Homininae and Hominida. I could also change tetrapterates to quadrialata or quadripennata, although the words mean the exact same thing.
