| ARTICLES RELATED TO Devonian | | | |  Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Insect - Morphology and developmentInsects range in size from less than a millimeter to over 18 centimeters (some walkingsticks) in length. Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The body is divided into a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, and a mouth. The thorax has six legs (one pair per segment) and wings (if present in the species). T ...

| | | | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Devon - History Devon was one of the first areas of England settled following the end of the last ice age. Dartmoor is thought to have been settled by Mesolithic hunter-gatherer peoples from about 6000 BC. The name "Devon" derives from the name given by the Romans to the Celtic people who inhabited the south western peninsula of Britain at the time of the Roman invasion c. 50AD , known as the Dumnonii, thought to mean 'Deep Valley Dwellers'. The Romans held the area under Military Occupation for approx 25 years. Later the area became a frontier between Bryt ...

Cornwall - Language.
Main article: Cornish language
The Cornish language is closely related to Welsh and Breton, and less so to Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx. It continued as a living Celtic language until 1777 and the death of Dolly Pentreath, the last person thought to have used only the Cornish language (although this is disputed on a number of counts). The publication of Henry Jenner's "Handbook of the Cornish Language" in 1904 caused a resurgence of interest in the Cornish language. ...

| | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - London-Brabant Island - The Carboniferous The period from which the island has exercised most influence on modern Europe was the Carboniferous. As the continent was drifting past the Equator, on the island's shores, there grew a rich tropical forest swamp. On the island's southern shore, it left the Dinantian, Namurian and Westphalian coal fields of France and Belgium.
To its north-west, it left those of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. These extend further east but at ever greater depth. At the modern east Yorkshire and north Lincolnshire coast for example, their upper su ...

This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State as well as all of the present State of Vermont and, in theory, extending westward to the Pacific Ocean.

| | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Irreducible complexity - Criticisms of irreducible complexity There has been much scientific opposition to the irreducible complexity, with one science writer calling it a "full-blown intellectual surrender strategy." [11] It may be that irreducible complexity does not actually exist in nature: that the examples given by Behe and others are not in fact irreducibly complex, but can be explained in terms of simpler precursors. Thus they would either be merely very complex, or they would be misunderstood or misrepresented.
The precursors of complex systems, when they are not useful in themse ...

| | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Sponge - Anatomy Sponges comprise only four types of cells:
Choanocytes (also known as "collar cells"), which line the spongocoel and function as the sponge's digestive system, are remarkably similar to the protistan choanoflagellates.
Porocytes are tubular cells that make up the pores.
Flat epidermal cells line the outside of the sponge and form its skin.
Amoebocytes live between the choanocytes and the epidermis. They carry out many of the sponge's functions, such as transport of nutrients, secretion of the spicules, ...

| | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Frog - Characteristics Because of the great diversity of frogs (over 4000 species), many characteristics are not shared throughout all of the species. However, there are some characteristics which distinguish them from other amphibians. Frogs are generally well suited to jumping, and have long hind legs, with elongated ankle bones. They have a short vertebral column, with no more than ten free vertebrae, followed by a fused tail bone, usually resulting in a frog without a tail.
Frogs range in size from 10mm (Psyllophryne didactyla of Brazil and Eleut ...

Among the lands given to the newly founded Benedictine monastery Grafschaft were the St. Vitus church and two farms (the later Haus Hemer and the Hedhof). In 1124 the parish of St. Vitus was split from parish Menden.

The pineal body has nervous tissue, and consists of follicles lined by epithelium and enveloped by connective tissue. These follicles contain a variable quantity of gritty material, called brain sand, acervuli, or corpora arenacea, which is composed of calcium phosphate, calci ...

| | | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Mammal - Classification Main article: Mammal classification
George Gaylord Simpson's classic "Principles of Classification and a Classification of Mammals" (AMNH Bulletin v. 85, 1945) was the original source for the taxonomy listed here. Simpson laid out a systematics of mammal origins and relationships that was universally taught until the end of the 20th century. Since Simpson's 1945 classification, the paleontological record has been recalibrated, and the intervening years have seen much debate and progress concerning the theoretical underpi ...

| | | | | Devonian: Encyclopedia II - Northumberland - History Once part of the Roman Empire and the scene of many wars between England and Scotland, Northumberland has a long and complicated history. This explains the many castles in Northumberland, including among the better-known those at Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Warkworth and Alnwick.
The region of present-day Northumberland once formed the core of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria. Northumberland is called the "cradle of Christianity" in England because it was on Lindisfarne, a tidal island north of Bamburgh, also called Holy Island, ...
