Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Colocasia coryli (Nut-tree Tussock; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 768.61 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.73%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.31 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
