	Galea (botany) A galea is an overhanging, helmet-shaped, part of the flower that protects the reproductive parts from precipitation, wind, or unwanted visitors. The galea is composed of one or more petals or sepals that have either fused or folded together. The name is taken from the same word for a Roman soldier's helmet. The specific epithet ''galeatus(-a-um)'', ''galeiformis(-e)'', ''galeritus(-a-um)'' or ''galericulatus(-a-um)'' can be found in nomenclature, referring to a prominent helmet-shaped feature in the organism. There are several genera that have been named to reflect this characteristic: ''Galeandra'', ''Galearia'' and ''Galearis ''Galearis'' is a genus of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) native to North America and eastern Asia. It contains about ten recognized species. The family name comes from the Greek word ''orchis'' ('testicle'), in reference to the shape of the roo ...''.

	Galea (genus) ''Galea'' is a genus of South American rodents of the family Caviidae. 5-6 extant species are known, found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Brazil. They are: * Southern highland yellow-toothed cavy ('' G. comes'') * Brazilian yellow-toothed cavy (''G. flavidens'') * Lowland yellow-toothed cavy ('' G. leucoblephara'') * Common yellow-toothed cavy (''G. musteloides'') ** Muenster yellow-toothed cavy (''G. m. monasteriensis'' or ''G. monasteriensis''?) * Spix's yellow-toothed cavy (''G. spixii'') ''Galea'' has until recently been considered to have only three species; the Muenster yellow-toothed cavy was only described in 2004. ''G. flavidens'' is monotypic and ''G. musteloides'' and ''G. spixii'' are polytypic. ''Galea'' is in the family Caviidae and its members are described as cavies; they have sometimes also been called "guinea pigs". Cavies are widespread throughout South America. The high diversity of habitats of different species is paralleled by a high diversity ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Galea (helmet) A (; ) was a Roman soldier's metal helmet, most famously worn by the heavy infantry of the legions. Some gladiators, specifically ''murmillo'' ('' myrmillo''), also wore bronze ''galeae'' with face masks and decorations, often a fish on its crest. While details varied over time, all Roman galeas from the Republic era through the Principate featured the same basic design - a bowl to protect the skull, a neck guard (which grew larger over time), a deflector band to protect the forehead and cheek plates to protect the face. The exact form, type of metal, and design of the helmet varied over time, between differing unit types, and also between individual examples – pre-industrial production was by hand – so it is not certain to what degree there was any standardization even under the Roman Empire. Originally, Roman helmets were influenced by the neighboring Etruscans, people who utilised the "Nasua" type helmets. The Greeks in the south also influenced Roman design in its ...

picture info	Galea (insects) Insects have mouthparts that may vary greatly across insect species, as they are adapted to particular modes of feeding. The earliest insects had chewing mouthparts. Most specialisation of mouthparts are for piercing and sucking, and this mode of feeding has evolved a number of times independently. For example, mosquitoes (which are true flies) and aphids (which are true bugs) both pierce and suck, though female mosquitoes feed on animal blood whereas aphids feed on plant fluids. Evolution Like most external features of arthropods, the mouthparts of Hexapoda are highly derived. Insect mouthparts show a multitude of different functional mechanisms across the wide diversity of insect species. It is common for significant homology to be conserved, with matching structures forming from matching primordia, and having the same evolutionary origin. However, even if structures are almost physically and functionally identical, they may not be homologous; their analogous functions and a ...

	Galea Shark Galeomorphi is a superorder of sharks. They are sometimes called galea or galean sharks. There are about 300 living species in 23 families. Galean sharks are divided into four orders: the Heterodontiformes, Orectolobiformes, Lamniformes, and Carcharhiniformes. The extinct, enigmatic Synechodontiformes are presently placed by some authors in the galeomorphs, but their taxonomic position still remains uncertain. Classification Order Heterodontiformes The bullhead sharks are a small order of basal modern sharks (Neoselachii). All are relatively small, with the largest species being just in adult length. They are bottom feeders in tropical and subtropical waters. They appear in the fossil record in the Early Jurassic, well before any of the other galean sharks. However, they have never been common, and it is likely their origin lies even further back. There are nine living species in a single genus, ''Heterodontus'' and a single family. * Family Heterodontidae (Bullhead shar ...

picture info	Galeas A galeas is a type of small trade vessel that was common in the Baltic Sea and North Sea from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. The characteristics of the ships depend somewhat from where the ship originated. Swedish variants had two masts and were rigged as ketches or sometimes as schooners. The galeas was developed from the Dutch galliot A galiot, galliot or galiote, was a small galley boat propelled by sail or oars. There are three different types of naval galiots that sailed on different seas. A ''galiote'' was a type of French flat-bottom river boat or barge and also a fla ..., which was rigged in a similar way, but was equipped with a rounded stern. The Swedish galliot was sometimes called "Dutch hoy" or "English dogger". The galeas has a galliot's rig, but with a square stern.
