Dyar's Law

Index Dyar's Law

Dyar's Law (or "Dyar's Rule") is the observed standard that during development of the immature stages of an arthropod, increases in highly sclerotized body parts are predictable and regular by a relatively constant factor. [1]

9 relations: Abiotic component, Arthropod, Biotic component, Crustacean, Exoskeleton, Geometric progression, Harrison Gray Dyar Jr., Instar, Lepidoptera.

Abiotic component

In biology and ecology, abiotic components or abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.

Arthropod

An arthropod (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages.

Biotic component

Biotic components or biotic factors, can be described as any living component that affects another organism, or shapes the ecosystem.

Crustacean

Crustaceans (Crustacea) form a large, diverse arthropod taxon which includes such familiar animals as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill, woodlice, and barnacles.

Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton (from Greek έξω, éxō "outer" and σκελετός, skeletós "skeleton") is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal skeleton (endoskeleton) of, for example, a human.

Geometric progression

In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Harrison Gray Dyar Jr.

Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. (February 14, 1866 New York City – January 21, 1929, Washington, D.C.) was an American entomologist.

Instar

An instar (from the Latin "form", "likeness") is a developmental stage of arthropods, such as insects, between each moult (ecdysis), until sexual maturity is reached.

Lepidoptera

Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths (both are called lepidopterans).
