So we asked, "how can we teach biodiversity in an inquiry-based framework?" We also wondered how we could do this without re-introducing the "passion-killing" activities, such as "draw what you see," during which students spent most of their time making superficial drawings of organisms they looked at either in jars of preservative or on prepared slides under a microscope.
His original view, described in the paper "On the Origin of Genera" (1868), held that while Darwin's natural selection may affect the preservation of superficial characteristics in organisms, natural selection alone could not explain the formation of genera.
Yet at this point, the attachment seems to be purely superficial, and both organisms can still be clearly distinguished from one another.
This mechanism may be active against the organisms causing superficial fungal infections also [ 6].
We interpret the grouping of Lophelia and Corallimorphus in this analysis as an artifact resulting from superficial similarities in gene organization in these two organisms; although gene order is similar, the sequences of those genes are highly divergent.
This is not surprising, given that superficial features of distantly related organisms can differ so greatly.
Thus, conventional fluorescent planar imaging is limited to the superficial part of the living organism and can only get semiquantitative data.
In addition to the well-known superficial infections caused by this organism, such as tinea capitis, tinea corporis, tinea inguinalis, tinea manus, tinea unguium, and tinea pedis, T. rubrum is also responsible for deep dermal invasion in immunocompromised patients [ 3- 6].
Mimicry, in biology, phenomenon characterized by the superficial resemblance of two or more organisms that are not closely related taxonomically.
