producing two morphologically distinct types of zoospores.
Having two different sizes and/or shapes within the same species.
of two different sorts of plumage (the Eastern Screech Owl is dimorphic, since it may have red feathers or gray feathers)
occurring or existing in two different forms; "dimorphic crystals"; "dimorphous organisms"
Occuring in two distinct forms.
having two forms; often referring to differences in sexes.
A butterfly having two different forms of the sexes or two forms of one sex. See also polymorphic.
When the male and female of a species look different. For example, a male Northern Cardinal is bright red, while the female is mostly dull brown.
Having two different forms, commonly applied to the juvenile and adult forms of Turbinicarpus spines.
Dissimilar in appearance. Adult males have colored gorgets and look different from females and young males that have white throats, so they are said to be "dimorphic." See monomorphic.
A species is said to be dimorphic when there are distinct visual characteristics between the sexes. Gray Cockatiels are an example of this; the male bird has a bright yellow head. Eclectus are also dimorphic, the male bird is green, and the female, red. Eclectus are unusual in that the female is more colorful than the male. This is called "Reverse Dimorphism". (See MONOMORPHIC)
Having two different morphologic forms.
Corals with two different kinds of polyps are called dimorphic. The polyps themselves can also be referred to as dimorphic. The two polyp types are autozooids and siphonozooids.
flowers that appear in two forms such as the Primrose, in which one form has a short style with anthers near the mouth of the corolla-tube, and the other form has a long style and anthers midway down the tube.
having two different forms, especially of fronds. cf. monomorphic.
(Dye- mor-fic): having two distinct forms; example: major and minor workers.
occurring in two distinct forms
having two distinct forms. Usually grow filamentously under environmental conditions and convert to special parasitic form (often yeast) in vivo.
Having two distinct morphological forms. In this guide, it refers to temperature-dependent changes in the organism on artificial culture media, i.e., fungi having a mold phase when cultured at 25-30 C and a yeast phase when cultured at 35-37C.
Having two distinct forms.—Dimorphism is the condition of the appearance of the same species under two dissimilar forms. 55
