#species definition

• Agamous — Reproducing without sexual cells or fertilization; a plant or animal organism whose multiplication is achieved asexually, through cell division, budding, or spores. In a general sense, it describes the structural biological process that does not involve the alternation or fusion of gametes.
• Alcathoe — The scientific name of a rare, small-sized bat species (Myotis alcathoe), distributed across Europe and characterized by its preference for mature and humid forest habitats. In ancient Greek mythology, Alcathoe (or Alcaithoe) was one of the daughters of King Minyas of Orchomenos, who was transformed by the god Dionysus into a bat as a punishment for refusing to participate in bacchic rituals, preferring to stay at home spinning wool.
• Amentiferous — The feminine singular form of the adjective 'amentifer'; describes a plant, a botanical family, or an inflorescence that bears catkins (aments). It is used in plant taxonomy and ecology to qualify woody species whose male or female flowers are grouped in a flexible axis adapted for wind pollination.
• Asyneuma — A genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the family Campanulaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. These species are characterized by erect stems, elongated spike-like or racemose inflorescences, and corollas deeply divided into five narrow, almost filiform lobes, presenting a distinctive starry appearance.
