A fainting response pattern is not seen in all individuals with BII phobia, but is found in a majority. Up to 80% of those with BII phobia report either syncope or pre-syncope as a symptom when exposed to a trigger. Other symptoms that may evolve when exposed to phobic triggers include extreme chest discomfort, tunnel vision, becoming pale, shock, vertigo, diaphoresis (profuse sweating), nausea, and in very rare cases asystole (cardiac arrest) and death. Increase in stress hormone release (particularly of cortisol and corticotrophin) is typical.

Romagnola cattle are ivory-white, tending to grey on the foreparts, particularly in bulls; the skin and natural openings are black. The colour of the coat varies with the season, and is darker in winter. The horns are light, lyre-shaped in cows, half-moon-shaped in bulls; they are slate-grey in young animals, becoming pale at the base and dark at the tip with maturity. As with all Podolic cattle, the calves are born wheat-coloured but become white at about three months.

In 1868, the printings are becoming pale and dull, and without contrast, but the impression is fine. For a long period of time, one believed that it was due to the cleaning of the typographic plates as the named of these printings is referring to. In fact, it is not the case at all, as the typographic plates have been cleaned only in 1870. This pale/dull aspect is coming from the usage of a new blanket ("blanchet") much thicker as demonstrated by Louis Basel.

On 13 December 1784, Johnson met with two others: a young woman, Miss Morris, whom Johnson blessed, and Francesco Sastres, an Italian teacher, who was given some of Johnson's final words: "Iam Moriturus" ("I who am about to die"). Shortly afterwards he fell into a coma, and died at 7:00 p.m. Langton waited until 11:00 p.m. to tell the others, which led to John Hawkins' becoming pale and overcome with "an agony of mind", along with Seward and Hoole describing Johnson's death as "the most awful sight".

Cortinarius vanduzerensis is a species of mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae. Described as new to science in 1972, it is known only from the Pacific Northwest region of North America, where it grows under conifers such as spruce, hemlock, and Douglas-fir. The fruit bodies of the fungus, or mushrooms, have a slimy dark chestnut-brown cap that becomes deeply radially grooved or corrugated in maturity, and reaches diameters of up to . The gills on the underside of the cap are initially pinkish-buff before becoming pale brown when the spores mature.

In culture, colonies of P. obovatum begin as white or off-white in colour becoming pale green and centrally darkened with age. The green pigments diffuse into the growth medium ultimately becoming blackish-green in colour. Although the hyphae of the fungus are typically colourless (hyaline), the presence of these dark diffusible pigments has resulted in this species being considered one of the dematiaceous (aka filamentous, darkly-pigmented) fungi. This placement may be further justified by the confirmation of melanin pigments in hyphal walls and septa as demonstrated by Fontana-Masson's staining procedure.

A hillside in Big Sur, California, devastated by sudden oak death It was first discovered in California in 1995 when large numbers of tanoaks (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) died mysteriously, and was described as a new species of Phytophthora in 2000. It has subsequently been found in many other areas, including some other U.S. states, Britain, and Germany, either accidentally introduced in nursery stock, or already present undetected. In tanoaks, the disease is recognized by wilting new shoots, older leaves becoming pale green, and after a period of two to three weeks, foliage turning brown while clinging to the branches. Dark brown sap stains the lower trunk's bark.

From the perianth emerges a straight, thread-shaped style of 2½–3 mm (0.10–0.12 in) long, that tapers towards the tip, and is initially yellow, later becoming pale green. The thickened part at the tip of the style called pollen presenter is 1.0 mm long, cylinder-shaped with a pointy tip, hardly differentiated from the style, with a groove that functions as the stigma across the very tip. The ovary is subtended by four opaque, hoof-shaped scales of about 3 mm long. The subtribe Proteinae, to which the genus Leucospermum has been assigned, consistently has a basic chromosome number of twelve (2n=24).

The forewings are pale ochreous yellowish, with some scattered dark fuscous specks and a blackish mark on the base of the costa. There are small wedge-shaped blackish spots on the costa at one-fifth and two-fifths. A triangular blackish-grey blotch is found on the costa about two-thirds, reaching halfway across the wing and becoming pale brownish ochreous at the apex and a small blackish mark on the costa just beyond this, as well as a pale brownish-ochreous irregular transverse blotch crossing the fold at two- fifths of the wing, irregularly edged with dark fuscous specks. A small blackish-grey spot is found on the dorsum towards the tornus and there is an irregular dark fuscous streak along the termen.

In one unusual case, a first or second year plumaged male martial eagle was seen assisting an adult female in the way that an adult male would but it was not known if he had merely replaced a deceased male that had sired the young or had actually bred with the female, the following year the young male was verified to mate with the female. Cases of immature plumaged eagles breeding are often considered indicative of stress on a species’ regional population. Juveniles such as this one from Kruger National Park do not attain maturity until they are least six years of age. The newly hatched chick tends to have a two-tone down pattern which is dark grey above and white below, which lightens at about four weeks of age, with the down becoming pale-grey.

The forewings are white with dark fuscous markings. There is a line along the basal fourth of the costa, terminating in an irregular-edged blotch occupying the costal half of the wing to three-fourths, containing a very oblique white striga from the middle of the costa and a longitudinal white striga beneath it, and terminated by an oblique white dark-edged line from three-fourths of the costa to the middle of the termen, becoming pale metallic blue on the discal third and broken inwards beneath it. There is a subcostal line from the base almost reaching the costal blotch, one beneath this nearly from the base and one from the base above the fold, both running into the costal blotch. There are two oblique-triangular spots from the basal portion of the dorsum reaching the fold and there is a somewhat upcurved line from the middle of the dorsum to the tornus.
