Muhlenbergia Frondosa
''Muhlenbergia frondosa'' is a species of plants in the genus ''Muhlenbergia'' and a member of the grass family. Its common name is ''common satin grass'' or ''wirestem muhly''. It is informally grouped with other satin grasses, which are other species in Muhlenbergia. It is a warm-season C4 carbon fixation, C4-photosynthetic grass. Taxonomy ''Muhlenbergia frondosa'' is a member of the genus ''Muhlenbergia''. It is a flowering plant, monocot, and a member of the grass family Poaceae. The genus ''Muhlenbergia'' was named after the German-educated Lutheran minister and botanist Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg, who classified and named 150 species of plants in his 1785 work ''Index Flora Lancastriensis''. Synonyms of ''M. frondosa'' include ''Agrostis frondosa'' Poir. and ''Muhlenbergia commutata'' (Scribn.) Bush. Description This is a Perennial plant, perennial grass growing about , forming short, lateral branches along the central Culm (botany), culm. It usually sprawls ...

Muhlenbergia
''Muhlenbergia'' is a genus of plants in the grass family. The genus is named in honor of the German-American amateur botanist Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg (1753-1815). Many of the species are known by the common name muhly. The greatest number are native to the southwestern United States and Mexico, but there are also native species in Canada, Central and South America and in Asia. Species Species in the genus include: * ''Muhlenbergia aguascalientensis'' Y.Herrera & De la Cerda - Aguascalientes * ''Muhlenbergia alamosae'' Vasey - Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Mexico State, Morelos, Zacatecas * '' Muhlenbergia andina'' (Nutt.)

Maize
Maize ( ; ''Zea mays'' subsp. ''mays'', from es, maíz after tnq, mahiz), also known as corn (North American and Australian English), is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences (or "tassels") and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that when fertilized yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits. The term ''maize'' is preferred in formal, scientific, and international usage as a common name because it refers specifically to this one grain, unlike ''corn'', which has a complex variety of meanings that vary by context and geographic region. Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. In addition to being consumed directly by humans (often in the form of masa), maize is also used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and ...

Ungulate
Ungulates ( ) are members of the diverse clade Ungulata which primarily consists of large mammals with hooves. These include odd-toed ungulates such as horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs; and even-toed ungulates such as cattle, pigs, giraffes, camels, sheep, deer, and hippopotamuses. Cetaceans such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises are also classified as even-toed ungulates, although they do not have hooves. Most terrestrial ungulates use the hoofed tips of their toes to support their body weight while standing or moving. The term means, roughly, "being hoofed" or "hoofed animal". As a descriptive term, "ungulate" normally excludes cetaceans as they do not possess most of the typical morphological characteristics of other ungulates, but recent discoveries indicate that they were also descended from early artiodactyls. Ungulates are typically herbivorous and many employ specialized gut bacteria to allow them to digest cellulose. Some modern species, such as pigs, are omnivorous, ...

Anoeciinae is a subfamily of the family Aphididae The Aphididae are a very large insect family in the aphid superfamily ( Aphidoidea), of the order Hemiptera.

Schizaphis Graminum
The greenbug, or wheat aphid (''Schizaphis graminum''), is an aphid in the superfamily Aphidoidea in the order Hemiptera. It is a true bug and feeds on the leaves of Gramineae (grass) family members. Its original distribution is the Palaearctic, but it has been introduced to other parts of the world. It is one of about 40 recognized ''Schizaphis'' species worldwide. Description Adult greenbugs are long. The head and thorax are straw-colored to pale green and the abdomen is mid-green, with a dark green dorsal stripe in late-stage nymphs and adults. The antennae are dark and the cornicles are pale with dark tips. Early in the season the adults are wingless, but under conditions of over-crowding, winged forms appear and migrate to neighbouring plants. Host plants This aphid feeds almost exclusively on a range of grasses in the family Poaceae; genera attacked include ''Agropyron'', ''Avena'', ''Bromus'', ''Dactylis'', ''Eleusine'', ''Festuca'', '' Hordeum'', '' Lolium'', ''Oryz ...

Aphids
Aphids are small sap-sucking insects and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea. Common names include greenfly and blackfly, although individuals within a species can vary widely in color. The group includes the fluffy white woolly aphids. A typical life cycle involves flightless females giving live birth to female nymphs—who may also be already pregnant, an adaptation scientists call telescoping generations—without the involvement of males. Maturing rapidly, females breed profusely so that the number of these insects multiplies quickly. Winged females may develop later in the season, allowing the insects to colonize new plants. In temperate regions, a phase of sexual reproduction occurs in the autumn, with the insects often overwintering as eggs. The life cycle of some species involves an alternation between two species of host plants, for example between an annual crop and a woody plant. Some species feed on only one type of plant, while others are generalists, coloni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leafhoppers
A leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over their bodies that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones. They undergo a partial metamorphosis, and have various host associations, varying from very generalized to very specific. Some species have a cosmopolitan distribution, or occur throughout the temperate and tropical regions. Some are pests or vectors of plant viruses and phytoplasmas. The family is distributed all over the world, and constitutes the second-largest hemipteran family, with at least 20,000 described species. They belong to a lineage traditionally treated as infraorder Cicadomorpha in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, but as the latter taxon is probably not monophyletic, many modern autho ...
