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 ''Galearia'' is a genus of plant of the family Pandaceae. It is native to Indochina, insular Southeast Asia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

Galea (genus)
''Galea'' is a genus of South American rodents of the family Caviidae. Five 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'') * 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 of social organizations. Spec ...

Galea (helmet)
A ''galea'' (, from Greek γαλέη, ''galéē'', "weasel, marten") was a Roman soldier's helmet. Some gladiators, specifically myrmillones, also wore bronze ''galeae'' with face masks and decorations, often a fish on its crest. The exact form or design of the helmet varied significantly 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 early history. The primary evidence is scattered archaeological finds, which are often damaged or incomplete. There are similarities of form and function between them. Helmet types H. Russell Robinson in his book ''The Armour of Imperial Rome'', published in 1975, classified into broad divisions the v ...

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 idependently. For example, mosquitoes and aphids (which are true bugs) both pierce and suck, however 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 appearance might be the pr ...

Galea Shark
Galeomorphii is a superorder of cartilaginous fishes which includes all modern sharks except the dogfish and its relatives. 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 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 sharks) Order Orectolobiformes Carpet sharks are another small ...
