Monotypic Taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda.' ...

Frank Turk (biologist)
Frank Archibald Sinclair Turk (15 January 1911 – 14 February 1996) was a noted entomologist and adult educationalist. In addition to his published work on insects, Frank worked as an adult educationalist and ran a programme through the University of Exeter's Department of Extra-Mural Studies. He had a close relationship with several artists including, the artist Peter Lanyon's son Andrew Lanyon, Peter Liddle and Sven Berlin. Frank's wife Stella Turk, MBE, was also a published zoologist and worked with Frank in the field of adult education. Together they were instrumental in founding the Cornish Biological Record Unit at the University of Exeter's, Institute of Cornish Studies which was later incorporated into the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Frank was elected to be the Trust's first president in 1962. Publications Turk's publications include: * Turk, F.A. (1945a) New opilionids (Laniatores) from Indian Caves.

Solifugae Genera
Solifugae is an order of animals in the class Arachnida known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera. Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions (order Scorpiones), nor true spiders (order Araneae). Most species of Solifugae live in dry climates and feed opportunistically on ground-dwelling arthropods and other small animals. The largest species grow to a length of , including legs. A number of urban legends exaggerate the size and speed of the Solifugae, and their potential danger to humans, which is negligible. Anatomy Solifuges are moderately small to large arachnids (a few millimeters to several centimeters in body length), with the larger species reaching in length, including legs. In practice, the respective lengths of the legs of various species differ drastically, so the resulting figures are often misleading. More practical measurements refer prima ...
