"Emesa" is a compound of "Ham-Es", with the Es representing an assemblage of the locally revered sun god in (El-Gabal) in ancient times.
A protein allozyme study by Christian et al. [ 9] also confirmed that the Burhinidae, Haematopodidae, Recurvirostridae and Charadriidae represented an assemblage distinct from the Scolopacidae.
In general, two levels of specialization measures may be distinguished: first, the characterization of focal species and, second, the degree of specialization of an entire interaction network, representing an assemblage of species and their interaction partners (e.g. food webs, mutualistic networks, predator-prey relationships).
They therefore represent an ideal assemblage for testing hypotheses about processes of colonization.
"The bone beds of the Dinosaur Provincial Park Formation in Drumheller, Alberta represent a death assemblage of horned dinosaurs, particularly of Centrosaurus.
They suspect the Protoavis fossils represent "a death assemblage of different animals instead of associated parts of a single kind of animal". But Sankar Chatterjee, who found the fossils in West Texas in 1983, has claimed this may be the long-lost ancestor of birds.
Because the DPF does not represent a single assemblage of contemporaneous organisms, time-averaging is an issue.
CSs classified as class B, however, represent a paraphyletic assemblage, pointing to a more complex evolution of arthropod CSs than hitherto anticipated, including secondary losses in several lineages.
Reproductive parasites represent a diverse assemblage of maternally inherited microorganisms that induce aberrations in their hosts' reproductive biology in order to proliferate within arthropod populations.
New World microhylids (NWM) were initially included in the subfamily Microhylinae but this was demonstrated to represent a paraphyletic assemblage of both New and Old World taxa.
Notably, our determinations of the identity of leeches matching the description of L. nilotica represent a paraphyletic assemblage relative to L. paluda.
