tubercles on other creatures

[edit]

It seems this article should include a mention of tubercles on other organisms..I'm only aware of 'breeding tubercles' that some species of cyprinids get, but it probably should be in here. Does anyone know tubercles being present on other organisms besides cacti and fish?--Terrapin83 01:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tubercles also occur on Rumex species' flower parts. The Jepson Manual, Higher Plants of California defines it as, "tubercle. Small, wart-like projection. (example, Plagiobothrys hystriculus nutlet)"

[edit]

As far as I can tell, Tubercle and Tubercle (anatomy) describe the exact same broad concept, with slightly different focus (the "anatomy" article more on tubercles in humans, this one on tubercles in plants and dinosaurs). All dictionaries I consulted agree (M-W, Dictionary.com, wikt:tubercle) that the term applies to normal or pathological surface or organ outgrowths both in plants and animals. The two articles together make a fair material for a WP:BROADCONCEPT article, and would be best merged. Even now, their scope is profoundly unclear.

In absence of objections, I went ahead and merged the articles. No such user (talk) 12:43, 22 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
