Synonyms and Antonyms for Carinate

The word "carinate" in example sentences

In my mind, "carinate" means that there is a distinct thickening of the shell carbonate along the perifery, not just a sharp change in curvature angular. ❋ AYDIN (2007)

More or less everything we currently know about this snail is in Anderson & Smith A redescription of the carinate pillsnail, Euchemotrema hubrichti (Pilsbry, 1940) (Pulmonata:Polygyridae), with notes on habitat and genetics. ❋ AYDIN (2008)

They showed that the long-snouted species M. superciliosus and M. leedsi had rather straight, robust, blunt-tipped teeth that belonged to the ‘crunch’ feeding guild, while broad-skulled species like M. cultridens had slender, slightly compressed, carinate teeth (carinae = cutting edges) that belonged to the ‘pierce’ guild. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)

Furthermore, I have an impression (needs further research!) that A. alternata typical form is the dominant form among older museum collections, while the modern specimens I find are more carinate and even slightly keeled (to me carina means corner - so a sharper part of the curve - while keeled means an actual bump outward like the keel of a ship). ❋ AYDIN (2007)

By the way, Stephanie Clutts, student of Andy Anderson at Southern Illinois University, is examining the DNA of all the species of Anguispira and I am hopeful that she will be able to address the relationship between the typical and carinate forms of A. alternata. ❋ AYDIN (2007)

"Keeled" seems to cover both carinate and angular see Burch, 1962 p. 14 and p. ❋ AYDIN (2007)

Excuse me, they retain the carinate morphs when adult too, or does that coalesces as long as they grow on? ❋ AYDIN (2007)

These ideas lead me to form a hypothesis that typical A. alternata might be going the way of the frogs becomming less common due to some factor, while the carinate form of A. alternata might be surviving in its typically low numbers, but now that might be all we are finding. ❋ AYDIN (2007)

And it must not be forgotten that a completely carinate [128] bird (the Archeopteryx) existed at a time, when, as yet, we have no evidence of some of the Dinosauria having come into being. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

If it was that of the struthious birds, how did the pterodactyles and carinate birds independently arrive at the very same divergent structure? ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

In these Dinosauria we find skeletal characters unlike those of ordinary (_i. e._ carinate) birds, but closely resembling in certain points the osseous structure of the struthious birds. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

It must have been that of the struthious birds or that of the carinate birds, or something different from both. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

Thus a difficulty presents itself as to the explanation of the three following relationships: -- (1) That of the Pterodactyles with carinate birds; (2) that of the Dinosauria with struthious birds; (3) that of the carinate and struthious birds with each other. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

All other existing birds belong to the second division, and are called (from the keel on the breast-bone) _carinate_ birds. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

These bones are such remarkable anticipations of the same parts in ordinary (_i. e._ carinate) birds {71} that it is hardly possible for a Darwinian not to regard the resemblance as due to community of origin. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

If it was that of the carinate birds, how did the struthious birds and ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

That merely minute, indefinite variations in all directions should unaided have independently built up the shoulder structure of {73} the pterodactyles and carinate birds, and have laterally depressed their optic lobes, at a time so far back as the deposition of the Oolite strata, [56] is a coincidence of the highest improbability; but that an innate power and evolutionary law, aided by the corrective action of ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)

Finally, if it was something different from either, how did the carinate birds and pterodactyles take on independently one special common structure when disagreeing in so many; while the struthious birds, agreeing in many points with the Dinosauria, agree yet more with the carinate birds? ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)
