An image-development strategy used to change one form or image into another.
The process of changing from one form to another during development. In amphibians it is usually associated with a switch from an aquatic larval stage to a terrestrial adult phase.
The resurgence of development in an animal larva that transforms it into a sexually mature adult.
The developmental changes in living organisms, such as the successive stages from caterpillar to butterfly or from tadpole to frog.
the transformation between and immature form and an adult form. In amphibians, usually that between amphibious and terrestrial life stages.
Abrupt transition between life stages; for example from larval to adult form.
the changes an insect goes through as it passes from the egg through the adult stage. Complete metamorphosis is development from egg to larva to pupa to adult. Gradual metamorphosis is development from egg to nymph to adult.
the physical transformation an insect undergoes during successive stages of development.
the transformation from one stage of an amphibian's life to another.
the marked and rapid transformation of a larva into an adult that occurs in some animals
a transformation, and we at BML we are about business transformation
The maturing process that involves changes in shape between hatching and becoming an adult.
Metamorphosis is the rapid transformation from the larval to the adult form that occurs in the life cycle of many invertebrates and amphibians. Examples are the changes from a tadpole to a frog, or from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
An extensive external and internal reorganisation of a larva to produce a founding zooid ( ancestrula ) or multiple founding zooids (primary zooids) of most stenolaemate and gymnolaemate colonies (Boardman & Cheetham, 1983).
the series of distinct stages in the development from egg to adult. In amphibians the aquatic larva that have gills and live in water, transforms into an adult that lives on land and has air-breathing lungs.
whakaumutanga A change that most insects go through during their life cycle. The features of the insect often change dramatically, such as when a caterpillar changes into a butterfly.
A change in form and often habits during development after the embryonic stage.
The developmental transition between larval and adult stages that can include extreme morphological transformations.
A change in form during development. Simple metamorphosis has three stages: egg, nymph, adult. Complex metamorphosis has four stages: egg, larvae, pupa, adult.
a change of form that an animal goes through as it grows up
(a change in form) refers to the changes in form, shape, and functions during the four stages of development that insects undergo from egg, to larva, to chrysalis, to adult.
the change from larva to adult
The change from a larval state to an adult state ie: from tadpole to frog.
Animals that undergo metamorphosis have a life cycle in which they change shape abruptly and drastically. This shape change usually takes place during the larval stage of the life cycle, i.e., just after hatching from the egg. A larva looks very different from the adult and may go through several different shapes before eventually taking on the adult form. Many marine creatures have a free-swimming larval stage during which they disperse to colonise new places. Here is an example of metamorphosis in shrimps. Here are some examples of the typical larvae of animals commonly found on Chek Jawa.
A complete change in form and habits of an animal that occurs when it transforms from a larva into an adult. Caterpillars go through metamorphosis to become butterflies.
An extreme change occurring between the stages of life, such as from a tadpole to a frog, or from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
the complete physical change which many species of insects undergo. Butterflies and moths begin as larvae which hatch from eggs, then form pupae inside chrysalises (or chrysalides) or cocoons, then emerge as adults.
a marked change in the form or structure of an animal occurring after birth or hatching (verb. metamorphose)
a change in form during development; see also: Simple metamorphosis and Complete metamorphorsis
The process of changing from one form to another; e.g., in insects, from the larval stage to the pupal stage to the reproductive adult stage.
change in form and function during the development of an insect or mite.
n. The dramatic change of structure and lifestyle a larva undergoes when it becomes an adult. Mitra mitra n. Phylum Mollusca, Class Gastropoda. A shelled mollusc with a thick shell typically bullet shaped and vaguely resembling a bishop's headdress, or mitre; most commonly found in the Indo-Pacific region.
An abrupt transition from one developmental stage to another, for example the process of changing from larval to adult form.
a technique in which an object slowly transforms into another
a change of body form during development, between moults
(noun) - the marked changes in appearance and habit that occur during development, from the growing stage(s) to the mature, adult stage. Butterflies undergo "complete metamorphosis" and their appearance changes completely from the larval to adult stage. Insects which go through a "simple metamorphosis", such as a grasshopper, change only gradually in appearance during these stages.
(met´ a mor´ fo sis) [Gr. meta: between + morphe: form, shape] • A radical change occurring between one developmental stage and another, as for example from a tadpole to a frog or an insect larva to the adult.
( Me-ta- mor-fo-sis): a change in form during insect development.
A change in the form of a living thing as it matures, especially the drastic transformation from a larva to an adult. See also Pupa.
The series of changes in shape and function that certain animals go through as they develop from an egg to an adult. The metamorphosis of a tadpole to a frog changes that animal in many ways.
the change in form that takes place as insects grow from immatures to adults. Synonym: metabolism
developmental stage involving anatomical and behavioral changes that transform the free-swimming larvae to a settled adult.
In insects, a change in form during development.
A change in body form during insect development (e.g., change from caterpillar to moth).
Series of changes through which an insect passes in developing from egg to adult.
a big change or several changes in the life of an insect or other living thing--for example, a ladybug's change from larva to pupa to imago.
change in structure of animal as part of normal growth; transformation
process of changing from larva to adult; happens within larval exoskeleton
process during which there is a marked change in form; eg. crown-of-thorns starfish change from a larval form to juvenile starfish
A marked and usually abrupt developmental change in the form or structure of an animal (as a butterfly or frog) occurring subsequent to birth or hatching.
A change from one form or shape to another.
The change of stage in the life of a butterfly.
Metamorphosis is simply the change from one form to another. In the case of amphibia, the animals metamorphose or transform from the tadpole stage to the adult stage.
in many animals they go through a change of shape within their life cycle
An image-development strategy used to change an image from one form to another.
Developmental changes in the form or structure of an animal.
transformation of one distinctive stage in life history to another, as in tadpole to frog.
(plural metamorphoses) Name given to the changes that take place during the insect's life as it turns from an immature form to an adult. The stag beetle's larva changes to an adult beetle during the pupal stage, that is it undergoes a metamorphosis in order to become a shiny beetle.
A period of transformation from larval to adult form. Metate A stone trough used to grind food, usually corn (maze). The food is placed in a wide groove in the stone and crushed by the forward and backward motion of a handheld stone mano.
a marked change in form or structure during development. The process is a common part of the life cycle of many invertebrates and amphibians and is controlled by hormones.
n. A process of developmental change whereby a larva reaches adulthood only after a drastic change in morphology; occurs in most amphibians and insects, for some insects, this change may include another stage (pupa) before the adult stage; metamorphose
The process by which an animal changes in size and form during development.
An extreme change in body form from one life stage to the next, as with caterpillar to butterfly or tadpole to frog.
Metamorphosis is the transformation of an animal during its life cycle (from larva to adult). The larval stage of butterflies and moths (the caterpillar) metamorphoses into a winged, flying adult (the adult butterfly or moth).Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis.
Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's form or structure through cell growth and differentiation. Some insects, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is usually (but not always) accompanied by a change of habitat or behaviour.
Metamorphosis is the name of a stage illusion invented by John Nevil Maskelyne, but most often associated with famous magician and escape artist Harry Houdini, and performed to some renown (for speed) by The Pendragons, among many others.
