Tuckerella Fossilibus
The peacock mites of the genus ''Tuckerella'' (monotypic family, the only genus of the mite family Tuckerellidae) are a significant herbivorous pest (organism), pest in the tropics, for example on citrus fruit. Other species dwell in grasses, possibly as root feeders. The peacock mite's name suggests that their feather-like (or leaf-like) setae adorning their dorsum (anatomy), backs are evocative of a peacock's plumage. They also have long hair-like setae projecting from rear (caudal (anatomical term), caudal setae) that have been compared to a trailing peacock tail. The 5–7 pairs of caudal setae can be flicked over the body very quickly, so they are used like whips in defense anti-predation, against predators. They may also help in wind-borne dispersal. They are classified in the superfamily Tetranychoidea, being its most ornate members.

False-colour
False colors and pseudo colors respectively refers to a group of color Signal processing, rendering methods used to display images in colors which were recorded in the visible spectrum, visible or non-visible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. A false-color image is an image that depicts an object in colors that differ from those a photograph (a true-color image) would show. In this image, colors have been assigned to three different wavelengths that human eyes cannot normally see. In addition, variants of ''false colors'' such as pseudocolors, density slicing, and choropleths are used for information visualization of either data gathered by a single grayscale channel or data not depicting parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. elevation in relief maps or tissue types in magnetic resonance imaging). Types of color renderings True color The concept behind true color can help in understanding false color. An image is called a ''true-color'' image when it offers a ...

Annona Muricata
Soursop (also called graviola, guyabano, and in Latin America ) is the fruit of ''Annona muricata'', a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree. It is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean and is widely propagated. It is in the same genus, '' Annona'', as cherimoya and is in the Annonaceae family. The soursop is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters; temperatures below will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below can be fatal. The fruit becomes dry and is no longer good for concentrate. With an aroma similar to pineapple, the flavor of the fruit has been described as a combination of strawberries and apple with sour citrus flavor notes, contrasting with an underlying thick creamy texture reminiscent of banana. Soursop is widely promoted (sometimes as graviola) as an alternative cancer treatment, but there is no reliable medical evidence that it is effective for treating cancer or any disease. S ...

Coffea Arabica
''Coffea arabica'' (), also known as the Arabica coffee, is a species of flowering plant in the coffee and madder family Rubiaceae. It is believed to be the first species of coffee to have been cultivated and is the dominant cultivar, representing about 60% of global production. Coffee produced from the less acidic, more bitter, and more highly caffeinated robusta bean (''Coffea canephora, C. canephora'') makes up most of the remaining coffee production. The natural populations of ''Coffea arabica'' are restricted to the forests of South Ethiopia and Yemen. Taxonomy ''Coffea arabica'' was first species description, described scientifically by Antoine de Jussieu, who named it ''Jasminum arabicum'' after studying a specimen from the Hortus Botanicus (Amsterdam), Botanic Gardens of Amsterdam. Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus placed it in its own genus ''Coffea'' in 1737. ''Coffea arabica'' is one of the polyploid species of the genus ''Coffea'', as it carries four copies of the eleven ch ...

Fouquieria
''Fouquieria'' is a genus of 11 species of desert Flowering plant, flowering plants, the sole genus in the Family (biology), family Fouquieriaceae. The genus is native to North America and includes the ocotillo (''Fouquieria splendens, F. splendens'') and the Boojum tree or cirio (''Fouquieria columnaris, F. columnaris''). They have semi succulent stems with thinner spikes projecting from them, with leaf, leaves on the bases spikes. They are unrelated to cactus, cacti and do not look much like them; their stems are proportionately thinner than cactus stems and their leaves are larger. Taxonomy Taxonomic history ''Fouquieria'' species do not have a particularly close resemblance to any other sort of plants; genetic evidence has shown they belong in the Ericales. Before this, they had been variously placed in the Violales or their own order, Fouquieriales.
