Trees in the genus Carya (from Ancient Greek for nut) are commonly known as hickory. The worldwide hickory genus includes 17â19 species of deciduous trees with pinnately compound leaves and large nuts. North America has the overwhelming edge on the number of native hickory species. A dozen or so species are native to North America (11â12 in the United States, 1 in Mexico), where there are between 5â6 species from China and Indochina. 1  The hickory tree, along with the oaks, dominates the hardwood forests of eastern North America.

In biology, moulting (British English), or molting (American English), also known as sloughing, shedding, or in many invertebrates, ecdysis, is the manner in which an animal routinely casts off a part of its body (often, but not always, an outer layer or covering), either at specific times of the year, or at specific points in its life cycle. Moulting can involve shedding the epidermis (skin), pelage (hair, feathers, fur, wool), or other external layer. In some groups, other body parts may be shed, for example, wings in some insects or the entire exoskeleton in arthropods.
