rubra are absent from the
epigeal portion of the anchialine ecosystem in Hawaii.
A total of 33,276 arthropods (298.7 g dry biomass) were collected with pitfall traps (
epigeal fauna) and sweep nets (epiphytic fauna) during the six sampling events.
Monocots (1 cotyledon) Dicots (2 cotyledons) Usually herbaceous Herbaceous or woody Linear leaves with parallel veins Leaves with netted venation Vascular bundles scattered in stem Vascular bundles in a ring Fibrous root system Taproot system Hypogeal germination Usually
epigeal germination
No algae lived on the bottom and
epigeal macrobenthos was scarce, with only a few Holothuria leucospilota.
Other
epigeal (low-growing) mosses, such as Hylocomium splendens, Pleurozium schreberi, Ptilium crista-castrensis, Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, Dicranum scoparium, and many more--often species with a circumpolar distribution--form moss carpets, and though they grow mainly on the soil, like Drepanoclados uncinatus, they also occur on a wide range of substrates.
Soldiers are not present in its colonies, nor does it construct an
epigeal termitarium (Nel 1968).
Effects of non-native Eucalyptus plantations on
epigeal spider communities in the northern Negev desert, Israel.
Termites were collected from all possible microhabitats from which colonies with brood or foragers were accessible including sound dry or decomposing wood, arboreal and
epigeal nests (Nasutitermes and Microcerotermes [Termitidae], respectively), and in soil underneath stones and logs.

epigeal spiders in Bahia Blanca, in the temperate region of Argentina
The seedling (Figure 1E-G) is phanerocotylar and
epigeal, but the envelopes remain temporarily around the cotyledons.
AND JANSSEN, J., 1991.Influence of pesticides on
epigeal arthropod fauna in laboratory tests.
There has been great concern in Brazil on the part of farmers with regard to the high incidence of "mound termites" (cupins de montiado) in pastures, that is, species whose colonies build
epigeal nests in the soil.
