Feline dysautonomia, or Key-Gaskell syndrome, is a dysfunction in autonomic nervous systems, due to neuronal degeneration in the nervous ganglia. (HARP, N.J.H.; NASH, A.S.; GRIFFITHS, I.R. Feline dysautonomia (Key-Gaskell syndrome): a clinical and pathological study of forty cases. J. Small. Anim. Pract., v.25, p.599-615, 1984.

A steroid hormone that regulates the processes of molting or ecdysis in insects. Ecdysterone is the 20-hydroxylated ecdysone. (National Library of Medicine. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings), 2025, 'Ecdysterone', http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004441)
Encephalopathy means any disorder or disease of the brain, especially chronic degenerative conditions. In modern usage, encephalopathy does not refer to a single disease, but rather to a syndrome of overall brain dysfunction; this syndrome has many possible organic and inorganic causes. (Wikipedia, 2024. Encephalopathy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalopathy)
Softening or loss of brain tissue following cerebral infarction; cerebral ischemia, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. The term is often used during gross pathologic inspection to describe blurred cortical margins and decreased consistency of brain tissue following infarction. (MeSH. 2024. Encephalomalacia. https://meshb-prev.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D004678)
A slow-or controlled-release formulation in the form of netting, providing physical and chemical barriers to insects. Refers to both bulk netting and ready-to-use products, for example mosquito nets.

Feldspars are a group of rock-forming aluminium tectosilicate minerals, containing sodium, calcium, potassium or barium. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldspar)
The patterns of fire occurrence, size, and severity - and sometimes, vegetation and fire effects as well - in a given area or ecosystem. It integrates various fire characteristics. A natural fire regime is the total pattern of fires over time that is characteristic of a natural region or ecosystem. The classification of fire regimes includes variations in ignition, fire intensity and behavior, typical fire size, fire return intervals, and ecological effects. (TRG(A10.6)/GICM, FAO, 2005. Wildland Fire Management Terminology, FAO (Updated Jan 2005).)
The science of fungal morphology is the study of the physical form, structure, and external characteristics of fungi, including their growth patterns, spore-producing structures, and overall appearance, to identify and classify different fungal species and understand their ecological roles.

Aeciospore: in Uredinales, a unicellular, non-repeating vegetative spore, produced in an aecium, usually resulting from dikaryotisation, which germinates to give a dikaryotic mycelium.
