\"Example<\/p>\n

Yesterday I discovered an interesting new word – occlupanid<\/strong>, which is defined by the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group<\/a> as follows:<\/p>\n

“Occlupanids are generally found as parasitoids on bagged pastries in supermarket biomes, although a few species are found on vegetables and bulk grains, and one notable species (Uniporus) is found exclusively on vent tubing bags. Their fascinating and complex life cycle is unfortunately severely under-researched. What is known is that they take nourishment from the plastic sacs that surround the bagged product, not the product itself, as was previously thought. They often situate themselves toward the center of the plastic bag, holding in the contents. This leads to speculation that the relationship may be more symbiotic than purely parasitic.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The common name for occlupanid is apparently breadtie, and the HORG is dedicated to the taxonomic classification of the breadties of the world. They provide details about different species of occlupanid – the one on the right is an archignatha<\/strong> (“first tooth”), for example – the morphology of their names, and their taxonomy and history. The term occlupanid comes from the Latin occl\u016bdere<\/em> (to shut up, to close) and the Greek \u03c0\u03b1\u03b3<\/em> (pan – bread), which is also found in pancreas (“sweet bread”).<\/p>\n
