Teulada, Italy
Teulada (Latin: ''Tegula'') is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Province of South Sardinia in the Italian region Sardinia, located about southwest of Cagliari. The ''località'' of Sant'Isidoro di Teulada is one of the possible sites of the ancient Roman city of Bithia (also called Biotha and Biora).Hazlitt's Classical Gazetteer, p.75

Tegula (gastropod)
''Tegula'' is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Tegulidae.Bouchet, P. (2012). Tegula Lesson, 1832. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=413467 on 2012-09-10 Biology The function of the heart in ''Tegula'' snails may have a critical importance for their temperature tolerance. Species Species within the genus ''Tegula'' include: * '' Tegula argyrostoma'' (Gmelin, 1791) * '' Tegula atra'' (Lesson, 1830) * '' Tegula aureotincta'' (Forbes, 1850) - gilded tegula accessed 20 July 2011. * '' Tegula bergeroni'' McLean, 1970 * '' Tegula brunnea'' Philippi, 1848 - brown tegula: * '' Tegula cooksoni'' (E.A.

Tegula (insect Anatomy)
A tegula is a small sclerite with innervated bristles situated above the base of the costal vein in the wings of various insects such as Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Auchenorrhyncha, and attached to the antero-lateral portion of the mesonotum. The tegula in locusts is a model system for studying the role of feedback from mechanoreceptors during movement. In locusts, the tegula directly controls flight muscles. The motor neurons that control the activation of wing elevator muscles are phase-locked to the neurons that innervate the tegula such that when the tegula is electrically stimulated the elevator muscles initiate an upstroke. When the tegula is removed, locust flight is clumsy and disordered at first but most animals adapt, suggesting the use of other mechanoreceptors to control flight. The tegula system is also a model for studying the role of neuromodulation for state-dependent motor control. Neural signals from the tegula only initiate wing muscle contr ...
