- Terr_> The outside (or ‘edge’) of the occlupanid is often smooth, but many species sport palps, or tabs. These have unguessable purposes for mating, locomotion, defense, take your pick.I propose that these palps or tabs are remnants of the reproductive cycle, vestigial points of contact in the budding process. This phenomenon can be observed in some other classes within phylum Plasticae, and I see no reason to assume it is not happening here.

- ndr42Well, if the ecological niches are the same there could be analogous developments that are not homologies. So I without a reconstruction of the environment I'm not certain that the proposed tree is valid.
- DuanemclemoreI distinctly remember seeing an exhibition of this work in Los Angeles in the early aughts. For the life of me I can't remember where. The photos were shot with a macro lens and blown up so that each specimen was ... 12" square? maybe bigger?Even then there were dozens upon dozens of them on display. It was mind bending.
- rolphplease tell us about potential competition between Occlupanida sp. , and members of the Torqueroligiverasacculum Genera [least spotted twist tie]
- ToutouxcIt took me quite a while to figure out what the article is about. These don’t seem to exist over here.
- abnryWhen I was a child, I remember going to the nearby children's museum and seeing an exhibit with 1 million bread tags. It was supposed to help conceptualize the number.
- ricardobayesWhat are these for? In Europe we normally put a sticker directly on the bread, if at all. Is this for sliced bread?
- stogotAt first , by the title, I thought there were parasites growing on these clips. Anyone else?
- foobarianI've been getting listicle spam/ads with a CTA promising to reveal why you should always carry one of these in your wallet. To this day I never found out why that is!
- yawpitchThis is the work of a mad genus.
- BobbyTables2Pretty sure “fusoridae” had a prominent role in the original Tron movie.
