Nebria composita composita is a subspecies of ground beetle in the Nebriinae subfamily that can be found in Qinghai province and Tibet. [1]
Diosgenin, a phytosteroid sapogenin, is the product of hydrolysis by acids, strong bases, or enzymes of saponins, extracted from the tubers of Dioscorea wild yam species, such as the Kokoro. It is also present in smaller amounts in a number of other species. The sugar-free (aglycone) product of such hydrolysis, diosgenin is used for the commercial synthesis of cortisone, pregnenolone, progesterone, and other steroid products.
Nebria is a genus of ground beetles native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. There are more than 500 described species in Nebria.
Nebria livida is a species of ground beetle with two subspecies:
Nebriinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 12 genera and more than 840 described species in Nebriinae.
Dioscorea composita, or barbasco, is a species of yam in the genus Dioscorea, native to Mexico. It is notable for its role in the production of diosgenin, which is a precursor for the synthesis of hormones such as progesterone. Russell Marker developed the extraction and manufacture of hormones from D. mexicana at Syntex, starting the trade of D. composita in Mexico. Marker also discovered that the composita variety had a much higher content of diosgenin than the mexicana variety, and therefore it came to replace the latter in the production of synthetic hormones.
Composita is an extinct brachiopod genus that lived from the Late Devonian to the Late Permian. Composita had a cosmopolitan global distribution, having lived on every continent except Antarctica. Composita had a smooth shell with a more or less distinct fold and sulcus and a round opening for the pedicle on the pedicle valve. Composita is included in the family Athyrididae and placed in the subfamily Spirigerellinae.
Nebria aetolica is a species of ground beetle in the Nebriinae subfamily that can be found in Albania, Greece, and North Macedonia.
Nebria germarii is a species of ground beetle in the Nebriinae subfamily that can be found in Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and in every state of former Yugoslavia, except for North Macedonia.
Nebria peristerica is a species of ground beetle in the Nebriinae family that can be found in Greece and North Macedonia.
Nebria cordicollis is a species of black coloured ground beetle from Nebriinae subfamily that can be found in Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. The species is about 5 millimetres (0.20 in) long.
Nebria composita is a species of ground beetle in the Nebriinae subfamily that can be found in Qinghai and Tibet provinces of China.
Nebria composita macra is a subspecies of ground beetle in the Nebriinae subfamily that is endemic to Tibet.
Diandrya composita is a species of cestode parasites that is known from marmots in North America. Described along with the genus Diandrya by J. G. Darrah in 1930, is known from all North American marmots except the woodchuck. This particular parasite have known to possess a combination of various organs – the interproglottidal and the pedunculated glands which were thought to be a part of the Anoplocephalidae family
Geodia composita is a species of sponge in the family Geodiidae. The species was first described by Bösraug in 1913. It is found off the coasts of Mozambique.
