scale insect
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: scale insects
Senses: examples: text: Male scale insects are mostly haploid, undergo an unusual metamorphosis, and feed only in the first two instars.
ref: 2005, Hans G. Schabel, Forest Entomology in East Africa: Forest Insects of Tanzania, page 93:
text: Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are a diverse group (>7,300 species) of plant parasites that are closely related to aphids. Several species of scale insects are very serious pests of agriculture, whereas others are cultivated for dyes, lacquer, or for use in biological control of invasive plants. All scale insect species in which males occur are sexually dimorphic.
ref: 2008, Nathaniel B. Hardy, Systematic Studies of Scale Insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea), page 1:
text: Secondly, the sheer volume of sap a scale insect imbibes would quickly inflate it to bursting, but an efficient fluid balance mechanism—the insect equivalent of vertebrate kidneys—quickly extracts the surplus fluid from the sap and excretes it as honeydew, the sugary water that all sap-feeding insects excrete in copious quantities. In heavy infestations of scale insects, the honeydew may be produced in sufficient quantities to coat the leaves and other parts of the plant, impairing the plant's ability to photosynthesize and encouraging the growth of fungi.
ref: 2011, Ross Piper, Pests: A Guide to the World's Most Maligned, Yet Misunderstood Creatures, page 149:

Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: limited-slip differentials
Senses: examples: text: To get the facts on just what a limited-slip differential contributes to mobility under slippery conditions as well as on dry roads, we drew up plans for a series of tests
ref: 1969 November 24, Jan P. Norbye, Jim Dunne, “The Truth about LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIALS”, in Popular Science, volume 195, number 5, page 118:
text: A limited-slip differential on the transfer case divides the torque between front and rear axles, even if one axle has lost traction. This is similar to the limited-slip differential, optional on rear-drive cars, that transmits power to both rear wheels, even if one has lost traction
ref: 1979 September 24, Paul Weissler, “Servicing the four-wheel drive Eagle”, in Popular Mechanics, page 94:
text: This wrinkle in the system is corrected by a limited-slip differential. While some carmakers use a viscous coupling in the rear differential, carmakers typically use a simple clutch-and-spring system in limited-slip differentials
ref: 1992 November 24, Don Chaikin, “HOW IT WORKS: LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL”, in Popular Mechanics, volume 169, number 11, page 104:
text: Limited-slip differentials allow normal differential action under normal driving conditions. But when road conditions are slippery, the limited-slip differential reduces or prevents differential action. This makes it so that a wheel cannot spin freely. Drive is maintained to both wheels. There are two main types of limited-slip differentials—- clutch-style and gear style.
