Definition of onychophoran in English: onychophorannoun ˌɒnɪˈkɒf(ə)rənˌäniˈkäfərən Zoology A terrestrial invertebrate of the small phylum Onychophora, which comprises the velvet worms. Example sentencesExamples - A number of fossils from the Cambrian have been described which look more or less like onychophorans.
- The fossil is not very different from living onychophorans.
- Similarly, onychophorans have been used in developmental studies of the evolution of appendages and of body segmentation.
- All of these Cambrian forms differed from living onychophorans in being marine.
- Whilst true arthropods, tardigrades and onychophorans are highly differentiated in form today, such was not always the case.
adjective ˌɒnɪˈkɒf(ə)rənˌäniˈkäfərən Zoology Relating to or denoting onychophorans. Example sentencesExamples - The two onychophoran taxa plot centrally, as do the two Marellomorphs.
- Furthermore, the absence of engrailed expression in the onychophoran ectoderm makes more sense in the context of a skeleton bounding function rather than a general segmentation program.
- Other organisms placed in the Ecdysozoa include kinorhynchs, priapulids, nematomorphs, onychophorans and tardigrades.
- The limb staining suggests shared ancestry of the onychophoran and arthropod limbs.
- In that time, the first undoubted fossil annelids, arthropods, brachiopods, echinoderms, molluscs, onychophorans, poriferans, and priapulids show up in rocks all over the world.
