Imbricated controls : the control plots are arranged systematically in the trial. Plot size and shape need not be the same as for other plots in the trial. The observations made in these plots are of a different nature and should not be included in the statistical analysis. The purpose of the arrangement is to ensure a more homogeneous distribution of the effect of an adjacent untreated area than is possible with the included randomized design. 2, record 3, English, - imbricated%20control

Most trilobites were capable of enrollment,.... During enrollment, maximum longitudinal displacement occurred both along the saggital line of the body and along imaginary lines passing through the pleural extremities, whereas displacement was very slight along the proximal parts of the pleurae and practically none along the axial furrows. The abaxial extremities of the rings acted as pivots for the movement and, as a result, the articulating half-rings were uncovered, in contrast to the distal parts of the pleurae, which became strongly imbricated, overlapping each other. 1, record 13, English, - enrollment

[Spheroidal enrollment] is the commonest type, characterizing [...] in general most isopygous or macropygous trilobites. In the spheroidal mode, all the thoracic segments have an equal share in enrollment. As the gliding of the thoracic segments began, the articulating half-rings were progressively uncovered and the thoracic axis became increasingly convex longitudinally. At the same time the downward curvature of the distal parts of the pleurae increased and their extremities became more and more imbricated, overlapping each other. Also, the transverse curvature of the cephalon increased slightly by downward bending of the genal regions. When enrollment was complete, the pygidium touched the cephalon and the whole animal attained a subspheroidal shape, the overlapping distal parts of the thoracic pleurae forming a sort of continuous lateral closure. 1, record 14, English, - spheroidal%20enrollment
