Brachylophus gibbonsi is an extinct species of large (~1.2 m long) iguanid lizard from Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean. Its remains have been found associated with cultural sites on Lifuka, four other islands in the Haʻapai group, and Tongatapu. It was consumed by the early Tongans and probably became extinct within a century of human colonization of the archipelago 2800 years ago.The four extant members of Brachylophus are much smaller, and are found in nearby Fiji.

Brachyloma daphnoides, commonly known as daphne heath, is a small shrub in the heather family, Ericaceae. The species has an upright habit, growing to between 0.4 and 1.5 metres (1 ft 4 in and 4 ft 11 in) in height. The leaves are 4 to 15 millimetres (0.16 to 0.59 in) long and 1.7 to 3.6 millimetres (0.067 to 0.142 in) wide. These are glossy green above and paler underneath. White flowers appear in the leaf axils between August and December in the species native range. These are tubular with a wider base. The rounded fruits are about 4 mm in diameter and are green or yellow brown. The species occurs in heath, woodland and forest in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. It was first described by James Edward Smith, before being given its current binomial name by George Bentham in 1868.

Brachypelma vagans is a species of tarantula known commonly as the Mexican red rump or Mexican black velvet. It ranges predominantly in Mexico (including the Yucatán Peninsula), but is also found in Central America. They are terrestrial, burrowing spiders. The reason for the name red rump is because of its distinctive red hairs on its abdomen. Like most tarantulas, they will eat anything they can overpower, which is usually insects, but small lizards and rodents may also be consumed. They can grow up to a solid 6.5 inch leg span, with males typically being smaller and thinner than the females. They prefer scrubland habitats.In 1996, Brachypelma vagans was discovered in the wild in St. Lucie County, Florida. It is now considered an established non-native species in that state, where it is thought to have been introduced through either accidental or intentional releases of specimens imported via the pet trade, although their numbers have been dwindling due to many B. vagans eating insects poisoned by pesticides.

Brachyopomorpha is a clade of stereospondyl temnospondyls within the infraorder Trematosauria. It was constructed in 2000 to include Bothriceps australis and the superfamily Brachyopoidea. It is phylogenetically defined as a stem-based taxon including Pelorocephalus and all taxa closer to it than to Rhytidosteus. In contrast, Brachyopoidea is defined as a node-based taxon including Brachyops and Pelorocephalus and all descendants of their most recent common ancestor. Because Bothriceps is not thought to be a descendant of that recent common ancestor and would be more basal than it, the genus is placed just outside Brachyopoidea and is considered to be a sister taxon to the clade.Bothriceps was once considered to be a brachyopid within Brachyopoidea, but is now placed on the brachyopoid stem closer to Brachyopoidea than to Rhytidosteidae due to the presence of several plesiomorphies (ancestral characters). The probable presence of a tabular horn in Bothriceps also suggests that it is a basal brachyopomorph rather than a brachyopid.Keratobrachyops, once assigned to Chigutisauridae, is now thought to be a basal brachyopomorph closely related to Bothriceps.

In some regions, such as the Amur Basin, the range may overlap with that of B. lenok.

Brachylophosaurini is a tribe of saurolophine hadrosaurs with known material being from N. America and potentially Asia. It contains at least four taxa; Acristavus (from Montana and Utah), Brachylophosaurus (from Montana and Alberta), Maiasaura (also from Montana), and Probrachylophosaurus (also from Montana). A hadrosaur from the Amur river, Wulagasaurus, might be a member of this tribe, but this is disputed. The group was defined by Terry A. Gates and colleagues in 2011.The clade Brachylophosaurini was defined as "Hadrosaurine ornithopods more closely related to Brachylophosaurus, Maiasaura, or Acristavus than to Gryposaurus or Saurolophus".

Brachypareion is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Tournaisian stage of the Mississippian epoch.

Brachypodosaurus (meaning "short-footed lizard") is a dubious genus of possibly thyreophoran dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Lameta Formation (Maastrichtian) in India.The only remains discovered so far for this animal consist of a single fossil bone, excavated at the Chota Simla Hill near Jabalpur. In 1934, geologist Dhirendra Kishore Chakravarti, of the Geological Museum of the Banaras Hindu University, considered it a humerus, of a stegosaurian. He named it as the type species Brachypodosaurus gravis. The generic name is derived from Greek βραχύς, brachys, "short", and πούς, pous, "foot". The specific name gravis means "heavy" in Latin. Chakravarti hereby became the first local scientist to name a dinosaur.The holotype is IM V9. The bone is over a foot long. Chakravarti based his identification of the element as a humerus on the presence of a large crest on the shaft, which he took for the deltopectoral crest. The status as a (dinosaurian) humerus is problematic. The bone is flat, has a crest on the other side of the shaft also, is not twisted around its longitudinal axis, is strongly constricted above and below the crests and lacks a clear caput or condyles. In any case, it lacks stegosaurian synapomorphies. On the assumption it might at least be some member of the Thyreophora, it has been considered a possible ankylosaurian, the ankylosaurs being a sister group of the Stegosauria that survived into the Late Cretaceous. Even then, however, it was considered a nomen dubium as so few remains of the animal have been found. In 2004, Matthew Lamanna e.a. considered it unlikely that any Ornithischia were present in the Maastrichtian of India. The other Late Cretaceous genus from India originally described as a stegosaur, Dravidosaurus, is also a nomen dubium based on plesiosaurian remains.

Brachypelma is a genus of spiders in the family Theraphosidae (tarantulas), found in Mexico and Central America. They may have bodies up to 6 cm (2 1⁄4 in) long with legs of similar or greater lengths. Some species have brightly colored legs, with red or orange marks and rings. The taxonomy of the genus and its species has been the subject of considerable debate. As of October 2017, the genus contained 18 species, which fall into two groups: "red leg" tarantulas (Brachypelma sensu stricto) and "red rump" tarantulas (which may need to be transferred to another genus). Many species are popular with tarantula keepers as pets; the females in particular are long lived. All species of Brachypelma are protected, and trade is regulated under CITES. Although they are bred in captivity, they continue to be exported in large numbers. Members of the "red leg" group are considered to be in most urgent need of further conservation efforts.

Brachylogus (from Greek brachys, short, and Greek logos, word), is a title applied in the middle of the 16th century to a work containing a systematic exposition of the Roman law. Some writers have assigned to the reign of the emperor Justinian I, and others have treated as an apocryphal work of the 16th century.The earliest extant edition of this work was published at Lyon in 1549, under the title of Corpus Legum per modum Institutionum; and the title Brachylogus totius Juris Civilis appears for the first time in an edition published at Lyon in 1553. The origin of the work may be referred with great probability to the 12th century. There is internal evidence that it was composed subsequently to the reign of Louis le Débonnaire (778–840), as it contains a Lombard law of that king's, which forbids the testimony of a clerk to be received against a layman. On the other hand, its style and reasoning is far superior to that of the law writers of the 10th and 11th centuries; while the circumstance that the method of its author has not been in the slightest degree influenced by the school of the Gloss-writers (Glossatores) leads fairly to the conclusion that he wrote before that school became dominant at Bologna. Savigny, who traced the history of the Brachylogus with great care, is disposed to think that it is the work of Irnerius himself (Geschichte des röm. Rechts im Mittelalter). Its value is chiefly historical, as it furnishes evidence that a knowledge of Justinian's legislation was always maintained in northern Italy. The author of the work has adopted the Institutes of Justinian as the basis of it, and draws largely on the Digest, the Code and the Novels; while certain passages, evidently taken from the Sententiae Receptae of Julius Paulus, imply that the author was also acquainted with the Visigothic code of Roman law compiled by order of Alaric II.

Brachylomia rectifascia is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found from British Columbia to central California, east to Colorado.The wingspan is about 32 mm. The moth flies from August to September depending on the location.The larvae feed on the leaves of various flowering trees and shrubs.

Brachynemata restricta is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1920. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are pale ochreuus-grey, the extreme costal edge tinged with whitish. The markings are blackish. There is a minute dot on the costa near the base, a dot towards the costa near the base and the stigmata is moderate, with the plical rather beyond the first diseal spot. There is a more or less developed strongly curved series of minute irregular dots from beneath the costa at one-third, traversing the second discal stigma to above the dorsum at two-third. There is also a series of somewhat larger dots from beneath the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards to a point nearer to the apex than to the second discal stigma, then angulated and slightly curved to the dorsum before the tornus. A marginal row of dots is found round the apical third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey, towards the base paler and tinged whitish-ochreous.

Brachypelma vagans is a species of tarantula known commonly as the Mexican red rump or Mexican black velvet. It ranges predominantly in Mexico (including the Yucatán Peninsula), but is also found in Central America. They are terrestrial, burrowing spiders. The reason for the name red rump is because of its distinctive red hairs on its abdomen. Like most tarantulas, they will eat anything they can overpower, which is usually insects, but small lizards and rodents may also be consumed.

Brachylophus gibbonsi is an extinct species of large (~1.2 m long) iguanid lizard from Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean. Its remains have been found associated with cultural sites on Lifuka, four other islands in the Haʻapai group, and Tongatapu. It was consumed by the early Tongans and probably became extinct within a century of human colonization of the archipelago 2800 years ago.The four extant members of Brachylophus are much smaller, and are found in nearby Fiji. B. fasciatus is now present on Tonga as well, but was probably brought there from Fiji by humans about 800 years ago. B. gibbonsi is estimated to have been about 1.8 times the length of its living relatives. An even larger Fijian iguana of the genus Lapitiguana was also formerly present, and also became extinct shortly after the arrival of humans.The genus Brachylophus is thought to have reached the South Pacific by rafting on the South Equatorial Current 9000 km westward from the Americas, where their closest extant relatives remain. Another theory is that the South Pacific iguanas descend from a more widespread lineage of (now extinct) Old World iguanids that diverged from their New World relatives in the Paleogene, migrated to either Australia or Southeast Asia, and then somehow made their way to the Fijian and Tongan archipelagos. However, no living or fossil members of the putative lineage have been found outside Fiji and Tonga.

Most species are black with limited yellow markings, and like most chalcidid wasps, they have enlarged hind femora. The female typically lays eggs inside the larva of a lepidopteran using its ovipositor. Although mostly parasitic on Lepidoptera, a few are hyperparasites (parasites of parasitic Hymenoptera and Diptera), or attack other types of insect larvae (such as Polistes erythrocephalus). The adult parasites emerge typically from the host pupa. Some species have been used in biological control.
