corbicula

The family is named after the genus Corbicula.

Competition from the introduced species of mussel, (Corbicula fluminea), may also be a cause for concern.

I thought they would only collect polen on corbicula if they had young brood.

In English also called corbicula.

In the familiar honey bees and bumblebees, the scopa is replaced by a structure known as the corbicula.

Species within the genus Corbicula include:

The corbicula (pollen basket) on the hind legs of females (queens and workers) is covered with yellow-red hair.

Elachista corbicula is a moth of the Elachistidae family that is found in Australia.

Daphnella corbicula is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

D. corbicula can be found in Atlantic waters, ranging from the coast of North Carolina south to Brazil.

Small subunit ribosomal DNA suggests that the xenophyophorean Syringammina corbicula is a foraminiferan.

The bumblebee's body hairs receive a dusting of pollen from the anthers, which is then groomed into the corbicula ("pollen basket").

But, in fact, the androgenetic clams of the genus Corbicula do use eggs; they just don't use the eggs' DNA.

The freshwater clam Corbicula australis (Little Basket Shell) is found in rivers in the ACT.

Honey bees, bumblebees, and their relatives do not have a scopa, but the hind leg is modified into a structure called the corbicula (also known as the "pollen basket").

Relatively short-lived marine inraids are recognizable in horizons like the Bembridge Oyster Bed 1.5 metres above the base and a limestone band with bivalves like Corbicula and Nucula.

The pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the corbicula on the outside surface of the tibia of the hind legs.

The pollen basket or corbicula is part of the tibia on the hind legs of the four related lineages of apid bees that used to compose the family Apidae: the honey bees, bumblebees, stingless bees, and orchid bees.

Scourge of Greens Keepers In a recent study, Billy G. Isom, an environmental consultant in Tennessee, estimated that the cost of power failures, reductions in efficiency, capital investment in equipment, labor, and chemical control for Corbicula exceeds $1 billion annually in this country.
