The associes is the developmental equivalent of the association. It is composed of two or more consocies, i. e., developmental consociations, just as the association consists of two or more consociations. Like the association, it is based upon life-form, floristic composition, and habitat, but differs from it in as much as all of these are undergoing constant or recurrent developmental changes.  4, record 2, English, - associes

To James Lovelock... the planet itself is a life-form created by all this interlinking feedback. Lovelock has taken the notion of feedback and coevolution to dizzying heights. According to his Gaia hypothesis, the approximately four billion species on earth are coevolutionarily coordinated in such a way that our planet itself is, in effect, an autopoietic structure, what Lewis Thomas calls a giant "single cell".  2, record 7, English, - Gaia%20hypothesis

The Pelycosauria were among the very first groups of reptiles to evolve, early in the Late Carboniferous(Pennsylvanian) period. By the end of that period all the major lines of Pelycosaurs except the caesids had appeared. They remained the dominant life-form(the largest, fiercest, etc) for some 40-odd million years, which is about 3/5ths the length of time of the age of mammals.  1, record 10, English, - pelycosauria

Ce sont des formes uniquement permiennes. La présence d'«une fosse temporale» n'empêche pas qu'ils soient encore «très primitifs». Ils ont, en effet, des dents palatines, des vestiges importants de corde dorsale, des humérus et fémurs horizontaux. Par certains genres intermédiaires, les Pélycosauriens passent à des formes plus évoluées qui manifestent des affinités avec les mammifères.  1, record 10, French, - p%C3%A9lycosaurien
