Biologists discovered three rare orchid species.

Biologists have recently begun relocating some Key deer from Big Pine Key to other islands, since Big Pine Key's population has reached its sustainable limit.

Biologists refer to this misconception as teleology, the idea of intrinsic finality that things are " supposed " to be and behave a certain way, and naturally tend to act that way to pursue their own good.

Biologists and anthropologists have accepted the theory of evolution as demonstrating that animals adapt to their environments.

Biologists also monitor prairie dog towns, though the park only controls their population in instances where they pose a threat to buildings or human health.

Biologists have raised concerns that the movie is misleading and could potentially confuse people, as it suggests lemurs ( in their present evolved state ) co-existed with dinosaurs over 65 million years ago.

Biologists have suggested that the layers of the ornate plumage of males provide a means of demonstrating body symmetry, such that peahens are " trying " to discover the health of the male or the quality of his genes.

Biologists have identified factors that may unconsciously influence the expression of jealousy.

Biologists have used the term " ape " to mean a member of the superfamily Hominoidea other than humans, or more recently to mean all members of the superfamily Hominoidea, so that " ape " becomes another word for " hominoid ".

Biologists frequently examine these pellets to determine the quantity and types of prey the birds have eaten.

Biologists, for example, do not always have enough data to make a clear determination of the population ’ s size and growth rate.
