	Sessile oak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sessile oak Quercus petraea, also known as Durmast oak, is an oak native to most of Europe, and into Anatolia.
		It is a large deciduous tree up to 40 m tall, in the white oak section of the genus (Quercus sect.
		Significant botanical differences with the English oak include the stalked leaves, and the stalkless (sessile) acorns.

	Locomotion.htm
		Sessile organisms cement themselves onto substrates such as rocks, or other organisms, as is the case with bryozoans and sponges that can grow over the shells of barnacles and oysters.
		The choices that sessile organisms make at the time of settlement are extremely important, because they will only ever interact--in terms of feeding, reproduction, and protection--with their immediate environment, and with water that flows past that particular location.
		Many sessile adults have planktonic larvae, such as barnacle nauplii, which swim using setose appendages and choose, with sensory input, the substratum to which the adult is permanently attached.

	Sessile Oak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Sessile Oak has longer leaf stalks and lacks the small lobes at the back of each leaf which point backwards on the Pedunculate Oak.
		Sessile Oak tends to grow on poorer acid soils in the western and northern parts of Britain.
		Indeed, it is rare to find a Sessile Oak covered in caterpillars as is often the case with Pedunculate Oak.

		In addition the establishment and development of sessile epibenthic assemblages on artificial panels at the same localities as the studied natural communities will be monitored, to identify such pattern as might characterize their development and to establish whether or not a stable climax state would or could be attained on the panels.
		The development of sessile epibenthic assemblages is dependent on the type of initial larval settlement which, in turn, depends on many factors such as the reproductive cycles of the organisms and the length of free swimming larval periods.
		The composition of sessile epibenthic assemblages is greatly influenced by the two factors of competition and predation.

	The Role of Allelopathic Chemicals in the Spatial Patterning of Benthic Communities
		Sessile, marine organisms and terrestrial plants have the similar pressures of competing for light, space, and essential macro and micronutrients leading to similar strategies for space acquisition and maintenance.
		It is among sessile organisms that these battles are fought in the struggle for survival in highly competitive systems such as tropical ecosystems, and marine coral reefs.
		Sessile organisms and plants may have similar pressures which determine the evolution of toxic compounds causing inhibition of growth of sessile competitors (Becerro, 1995).

		Pedicels free or fused to the rachis internodes.
		The sessile spikelets usually contain a bisexual or pistillate floret, and often exhibit features such as awns and calluses that are related to seed dispersal and establishment (Peart 1984); the pedicellate spikelets are usually staminate, sterile, vestigial, or even absent.

		This page shows a variety of sessile rotifers, and page 2 is a detailed look at the rotifer Floscularia and its "brick-making" activities.
		Some tubes are merely the accumulation of mucous secretion which is compacted around the foot by their feeding current, and others are smooth regular tubes built by the rotifer from carefully deposited individual pellets of compacted debris.
		The sessile rotifer Floscularia builds itself a gently tapering conical case from round pellets of compacted debris which are produced in a special organ on the creature's dorsal side.

		The red lump on this dog's pinna is not a jellybean or even an engorged tick - it's a histiocytoma with a sessile attachment.
		Compare this image to pedunculated, in which the mass is attached by a stem or peduncle.
		So the point here is that it is important not only to describe the tumor itself (in this case: red, ovoid, smooth) but also to describe its attachment to the tissue (in this case: sessile).

		Sponges in particular, and sessile marine invertebrates in general, are proving to be extremely valuable and potentially economically important sources of compounds useful to the pharmaceutical industry, and it is this industry funding our research.
		Adult sponges are sedentary (sessile), attached to the seabed or other substrate for most of their lives, although many have larvae that motile, swimming or crawling away from their parent.

	Fossils and the Flood
		The fossils of calcified sessile benthic marine organisms are abundant in the Phanerozoic geologic record.
		Particular fossils and fossil assemblages of sessile benthic organisms may be interpreted either as in-place, buried where they grew, or transported from their place of growth and buried elsewhere.
		A logical retrodiction of this hypothesis is that all of the sessile benthic marine fossils within so-called "flood deposits" were transported from their preflood growth location prior to burial, and are therefore allochthonous.

	New Method for Measuring Contact Angles of a Sessile Drop
		The spreading of an evaporating liquid on a solid surface occurs in many practical processes and is of importance in a number of practical situations such as painting, textile dyeing, coating, gluing, and thermal engineering.
		The dynamic contact angle of a spreading nonvolatile liquid drop provides a simple tool in the study of the free-boundary problem, but the study of the spreading of a volatile liquid drop is of more practical interest because the evaporation of common liquids is inevitable in practical processes.
		The most common method to measure the contact angle, the contact radius, and the height of a sessile drop on a solid surface is to view the drop from its edge through an optical microscope.

	Williams--Sessile habit and chordate evolution
		Abstract Contemporary sessile animal groups evidently have evolved gradually from sluggish benthic ancestors, resembling holothuroids such as Sphaerothuria and the Psolidae in habit.
		The U-bend of the digestive tubes of echinoderm larvae might represent a dorsal flexure reminiscent of a sessile ancestry; the gut curvature of the entoproct larva also is presumed to be dorsal.
		The dorsal position of the chordate nerve cord may be an inheritance from a near-sessile ancestor with dorsal particle-feeding arms, and its tubular structure evidently reflects the protective inrolling of a primitive intra-epidermal nerve concentration.

		Foraging activity was examined in the field from April to September 2001 by attracting T. sessile to feeding stations containing a 20% sucrose solution.
		Under laboratory conditions, T. sessile was attracted to feeding stations and foraged throughout the day and night at a constant temperature of approximately 25 C. Evaluations of seasonal food preferences using carbohydrate, protein and lipid samples were also conducted throughout the spring and summer.
		Lipids were generally ignored by T. sessile and in most cases decreased consumption of the sample.

	Sessile oak - Quercus petraea - ARKive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The crown of this magnificent native tree is domed, with branches that radiate outwards and are straighter than those of Britain’s other native oak, pedunculate or English oak (Quercus robur).
		Another distinction between these two oaks is that the crown of sessile oak appears more open when in leaf, as the leaves are evenly spread rather than in clusters as they are in pedunculate oak.
		The sessile oak is so called because the acorns are not supported on stalks (‘peduncles’) as they are in the pedunculate oak.
