A campodeiform body facies and life habits has been favored as the ancestral endopterygote larva, characterized by an active, predaceous, dorsoventrally flattened larva with forwardly-directed mouthparts.
Larvae, which vary considerably in shape, are classified in five forms: eruciform (caterpillar-like), scarabaeiform (grublike), campodeiform (elongated, flattened, and active), elateriform (wireworm-like), and vermiform (maggot-like).
This worm-like form can be one of several varieties: eruciform (caterpillar-like), scarabaeiform (grub-like), campodeiform (elongated, flattened and active), elateriform (wireworm-like) or vermiform (maggot-like).
This condition differs significantly from the alternative hypothesis of the earliest holometabolous larvae as thin-bodied, flattened, highly active, predatory forms with forwardly-directed head and mouthparts typical of campodeiform larvae.
Many ancient buildings, including several active churches and monasteries, were flattened.
When Zap70 is catalytically active actin clears centrally, the membranes flatten into an extended area of contact and TCR microclusters coalesce to form the cSMAC.
The flattened shape seems a strange one for an active animal, but apparently it is hydrodynamically efficient.
These channel and floodplain deposits filled in and flattened out the off-Mound settlements, blanketing the Pre-Hellenistic topography and silting in a long active port.
Isolated TMJ flattening and/or subcondral sclerosis was interpreted as physiologic remodeling, while condylar erosions and/or osteophyte formation was interpreted as active condylar degeneration (DJD).
