Amaga (flatworm)
''Amaga'' is a genus of land planarians from South America. Description The genus ''Amaga'' was erected by Robert E. Ogren and Masaharu Kawakatsu to include Neotropical land planarians with an intra-antral reproductive system of planarians#male part of the reproductive system, penis papilla, i.e., small penis papilla at the proximal end of a folded male atrium. A later redescription of the type species, ''Amaga amagensis'', revealed that the intra-antral penis papilla is not a permanent structure as previously thought. The remaining species currently in the genus need a taxonomic re-evaluation and may be transferred to new genera in the future. After more analyses, including new species, a new diagnosis of the genus describes it as Geoplaninid land planarians with dorsal Reproductive system of planarians, testes, copulatory apparatus with an extrabulbr prostatic vesicle and lacking a Reproductive system of planarians#Male part of the reproductive system, permanent penis, the Re ...

Robert E
The name Robert is an ancient Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic "fame" and "bright" (''Hrōþiberhtaz''). Compare Old Dutch ''Robrecht'' and Old High German ''Hrodebert'' (a compound of '' Hruod'' () "fame, glory, honour, praise, renown, godlike" and ''berht'' "bright, light, shining"). It is the second most frequently used given name of ancient Germanic origin.Reaney & Wilson, 1997. ''Dictionary of English Surnames''. Oxford University Press. It is also in use as a surname. Another commonly used form of the name is Rupert. After becoming widely used in Continental Europe, the name entered England in its Old French form ''Robert'', where an Old English cognate form (''Hrēodbēorht'', ''Hrodberht'', ''Hrēodbēorð'', ''Hrœdbœrð'', ''Hrœdberð'', ''Hrōðberχtŕ'') had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto. Robert is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including En ...

Amaga Pseudobama
''Amaga pseudobama'' is a species of land planarian in the subfamily Geoplaninae. Description ''Amaga pseudobama'' is 19–28 mm in length. The body is broadly lanceolate with tapered extremities, the color is dark brown dorsally and light brown ventrally. The authors of the species explained that "on the basis of examination of photographs of the live specimens only, the specimens were first considered as belonging to ''Obama nungara'', a species originally from South America, which has now invaded a large part of Europe." Etymology According to the authors of the taxon, the specific epithet "alludes to the species being initially identified from photographs as the darkly pigmented form of ''Obama nungara''. Distribution ''Amaga pseudobama'' was first found in 2020 in a plant nursery in Kinston, North Carolina, USA, in pots coming from another nursery in Georgia, USA. Specimens were also collected in Fort Myers, Florida, in 2015. Observations from citizen science ...

Amaga Righii
''Amaga'' is a genus of land planarians from South America. Description The genus ''Amaga'' was erected by Robert E.

The remaining species currently in the genus need a taxonomic re-evaluation and may be transferred to new genera in the future. After more analyses, including new species, a new diagnosis of the genus describes it as Geoplaninid land planarians with dorsal testes, copulatory apparatus with an extrabulbr prostatic vesicle and lacking a permanent penis, the ovovitelline ducts entering the female atrium dorsally either separately or through a very short common duct. Many species include glandular or musculo-glandular organs on the w ...

Amaga Bogotensis
''Amaga bogotensis'' is a species of land planarians that occurs in Colombia in the capital Bogotá Bogotá (, also , , ), officially Bogotá, Distrito Capital, abbreviated Bogotá, D.C., and formerly known as Santa Fe de Bogotá (; ) during the Spanish Imperial period and between 1991 and 2000, is the capital city, capital and largest city ... and surrounding areas. Description ''Amaga bogotensis'' has a large and broad, flat body. The dorsal side is grey-black, with two dark yellow stripes, one encircling the body and one mid-dorsal stripe, both around the same width. The copulatory apparatus lacks a permanent penis, but the male atrium is lined by multiple musculo-glandular papillae. The ovovitelline ducts enter the female atrium at the same time, without joining to form a common duct. Etymology The name ''bogotensis'' refers to the city of Bogotá, Colombia, where the species was first found. References Geoplanidae {{Flatworm-stub ...

Eukaryotic Translation Elongation Factor 1 Alpha 1
Elongation factor 1-alpha 1 (eEF1a1) is a translation elongation protein, expressed across eukaryotes. In humans, it is encoded by the ''EEF1A1'' gene. This gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This isoform (alpha 1) is expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas, and the other isoform (alpha 2) is expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. This isoform is identified as an autoantigen in 66% of patients with Felty's syndrome. This gene has been found to have multiple copies on many chromosomes, some of which, if not all, represent different pseudogenes. Structure Mammalian eEF1A possesses two paralogs, eEF1A1 and eEF1A2, with high amino acid sequence homology (approximately 90% identity). The sequences of their promoter regions are also highly similar, though that of the ''eEF1A2'' gene contains an additional 81 bp SV40 small ...
