Coregonus albula
Coregonus albula, the vendace or Baltic cisco, is a small planktivorous salmonid fish of northern European lakes and the brackish Baltic Sea, spawning in late autumn, supporting major Finnish and Swedish roe fisheries, and forming a taxonomically debated complex with the least cisco.

Coregonus clupeaformis, the lake whitefish (grand corégone), is a North American salmonid of large cold lakes and rivers, a major Canadian commercial fish with subterminal mouth, fall shoal spawning, and reproductively isolated lake species pairs.
Coregonus lavaretus
Coregonus lavaretus, the European whitefish (powan, schelly, gwyniad), is a salmonid fish of a taxonomically disputed species complex spanning Siberia to the Alps, with three mtDNA lineages, seven native British populations, and Vulnerable IUCN status.
Coreidae
Coreidae, commonly called leaf-footed bugs and squash bugs, is a large family of sap-sucking true bugs, with about 3,100 species worldwide, many of them crop pests.
Coreopsis
Coreopsis (tickseed) is a genus of Asteraceae flowering plants native to North America, Hispaniola, and Peru, first published by Linnaeus in 1753. Species counts vary by treatment (39 accepted by Kew; about 120 in older floras); C. lanceolata is invasive in Japan.
Corepressor (genetics)
Corepressor (genetics): proteins or metabolites that help repressors shut off transcription. Eukaryotic examples NCoR/SMRT (1995) recruit HDAC complexes; bacterial corepressors like tryptophan activate repressors.
Corewell Health
Corewell Health is Michigan's not-for-profit health system formed February 1, 2022 from the Beaumont Health and Spectrum Health merger, renamed from BHSH in October 2022, with 21 hospitals, 60,000+ team members, and the Priority Health plan.
Corey Goodman
Corey S. Goodman (born 1951) is an American neurobiologist known for discovering how axons find their targets in fruit flies, and later a biotech venture capitalist.
Cori Bargmann
Cori Bargmann, born Cornelia I. Bargmann, is an American neurobiologist at Rockefeller University known for studying how genes and neural circuits generate behavior in the roundworm C. elegans.
Cori cycle
Cori cycle (lactic acid cycle): metabolic pathway in which muscle lactate is converted to glucose in the liver and returned to muscle; proposed by Carl and Gerty Cori in 1929, honored by the 1947 Nobel Prize.
Coriander
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum, cilantro, Chinese parsley, dhaniya) is an annual Apiaceae herb grown for fresh leaves and dried fruits; seed oil is linalool-rich, leaf oil aldehyde-rich, and OR6A2 variants make the leaf taste soapy to some.
Coriaria
Coriaria, sole genus of Coriariaceae in Cucurbitales, is a shrub genus with a strikingly disjunct Mediterranean, Himalayan, Australasian, and American distribution, nitrogen-fixing root nodules, and picrotoxin-like toxins (tutin, coriamyrtin).
Corifollitropin alfa
Corifollitropin alfa (Elonva) is a long-acting recombinant FSH analogue with an hCG C-terminal peptide fusion, half-life about 70 hours; one injection replaces seven daily FSH injections in IVF ovarian stimulation; EU-approved 2010, not FDA-approved.
Corinnidae
Corinnidae (antmimic spiders, corinnid sac spiders) is a spider family described by Karsch in 1880, with 77 genera and 902 species worldwide; many Castianeirinae species mimic ants, and phylogenomics shows the family is not monophyletic.
Coriolopsis gallica
Coriolopsis gallica (Brownflesh Bracket), a white-rot Polyporaceae fungus (basionym Polyporus gallicus Fr. 1821), studied for laccases and peroxidases used in decolorizing tannin, olive-mill, and textile wastewaters and degrading fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
Corixidae
Corixidae (water boatmen), family Leach 1815 of aquatic Hemiptera in Corixoidea; about 450 species in 32 genera, five subfamilies; scoop-shaped front tarsi, dorsal-side-up swimming, mostly zoophagous diet, late Triassic Gondwanan origin.
Corm
Corm: a short, solid, swollen underground stem with a basal plate, terminal bud, and papery tunic that stores food for plants such as crocus, gladiolus, crocosmia, and cyclamen; unlike a bulb it is stem tissue, and each corm is annually replaced.
Cormorant
A cormorant is a large fish-eating waterbird of the family Phalacrocoracidae, about 40 species that dive from the surface to catch fish in both marine and fresh waters.
Cormus domestica
Cormus domestica, the true service tree (syn. Sorbus domestica L.), is a monospecific Rosaceae genus and wild fruit tree of southern Europe and northwest Africa, with bletted sorb-apple fruits, fissured bark, and a disputed taxonomy between Cormus, Sorbus, and Pyrus.
Corn Belt
Corn Belt (Zona de maíz): Midwestern U.S. region of large-scale maize farming, core states Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio. Named by USDA in 1906; dominates U.S. corn, soybean, ethanol production.
Corn bran arabinoxylan
Corn bran arabinoxylan, a highly branched cereal hemicellulose from maize bran (soluble corn fiber, AgriFiber SFC), with 74–90% dietary fiber, GRAS status via GRN 1073, and slow-fermenting prebiotic properties.
Corn dog
Corn dog: American hot dog on a stick coated in sweet cornmeal batter and deep fried; term from 1949. Fletcher's Corny Dog (Texas, 1942) and Pronto Pup (Minnesota, 1947) are signature versions; Korean corn dogs use rice or wheat batter.
Corn dolly
