Dwarf elephants are comparatively rare ( 3 individuals ).

Dwarf elephants are prehistoric members of the order Proboscidea, that through the process of allopatric speciation on islands evolved much smaller body sizes in comparison with their immediate ancestors.

Dwarf elephants are an example of Insular dwarfism, the phenomenon whereby large terrestrial vertebrates ( usually mammals ) which colonize islands evolve dwarf forms, a phenomenon attributed to adaptation to resource-poor environments and selection for early maturation and reproduction.

It is also stated in the pilot by Daniel Jackson that the pegasus galaxy is a dwarf galaxy in the local group, much like the real Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy.

Dwarf mistletoes facilitate this water gradient by having greater transpiration rates, thereby producing lower water potentials and allowing water to flow from the hosts to the dwarf mistletoes.

Dwarf mistletoes have both chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b and the necessary mechanisms for photosynthesis, but chlorophyll concentrations in dwarf mistletoes are approximately 1 / 5 to 1 / 10 of those found in their host ’ s foliage, and dwarf mistletoes have low photosynthetic rates as measured by the rate of carbon fixation.

Dwarf mistletoes are phloem deficient ; therefore, dwarf mistletoes draw carbohydrates from their hosts by connections to the host phloem and ray parenchyma.

In The Ungrateful Dwarf, the bear has no encounters with the girls except that in which it eats the dwarf ; it is not an enchanted prince.

In 2007, Naylor and Grant Naylor Productions were primarily focused on the production of the DVD releases of Red Dwarf and the postulated and much-hoped-for movie.

He was also the only British cast member originally to participate in the American version of Red Dwarf, though other actors such as Craig Charles and Chris Barrie were also approached to reprise their roles.

In 2003 with the aid of infrared telescopes and super computers, Steven Majewski, Michael Skrutskie, and Martin Weinberg were able to help create a new star map, picking out the full Sagittarius Dwarf presence, position, and looping shape from the mass of background stars and finding this smaller galaxy to be at a near right angle to the plane of the Milky Way.

After the end of the First Age, when the ancestral homes of the Broadbeams and Firebeards were ruined, many dwarves from these clans crossed Eriador and merged with Durin's Folk in Khazad-dûm, although remnants of these two western nations may well have survived as independent entities in the Ered Luin ; seven rings were given to ' the Dwarf Lords ' by Sauron in the Second Age, for example, and certainly the Blue Mountains remained permanently inhabited by dwarves of one clan or another throughout the history of Middle-earth: Thorin Oakenshield, for example, grew up there as an exile from his homeland Erebor, and several of his companions on his quest to reclaim that realm were not related to him ( Bifur, Bofur and Bombur ).
