a marvelous arrangement, for it provides exactly what the bee queens need to make their beebread, a combination of honey and pollen with which the young of all species are fed.

he was working with species of Java, so perhaps some tropical snakes are unusual in this respect.

It is, however, highly suggestive and agrees well with our own findings in which we also failed to demonstrate normally occurring bronchial artery-pulmonary artery shunts in certain species, especially the dog.

Although most species are associated with water and damp habitats, some are specialised to live in trees and in deserts.

A few species give birth to live young, nourishing them with glandular secretions while they are in the oviduct.

Amphibians swallow their prey whole, with some chewing done in the oral cavities of some species, so they possess voluminous stomachs.

A linkage map is a genetic map of a species or experimental population that shows the position of its known genes or genetic markers relative to each other in terms of recombination frequency, rather than a specific physical distance along each chromosome.

No direct linkage of the species can so far be determined.

CR 557 splits from Route 50 by heading northwest on Buena Tuckahoe Road and Route 50 heads through some agricultural clearings concurrent with CR 557 Truck, passing to the west of the MacNamara Wildlife Area, which is known as a breeding ground for several species of birds.

The conditions necessary for, and the physiological mechanisms that govern, eyeblink CR learning have been studied across many mammalian species, including mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, cats, and humans.

CR without malnutrition is one of the few dietary interventions shown to increase both median and maximum lifespan in a variety of species, among them yeast, fish, rodents and dogs.

Pacifastacus is a genus of crayfish native to western North America, containing the following six species ( DD = Data Deficient ; CR = Critically Endangered ; LC = Least Concern ; EX = Extinct ):

The system divides threatened species into three categories: Critically Endangered ( CR ), Endangered ( EN ), and Vulnerable ( VU ).

Polymers with two or three blocks of two distinct chemical species ( e. g., A and B ) are called diblock copolymers and triblock copolymers, respectively.

Two species, P. orogensis and P. orientalis, are not pteranodontids and have been renamed Bennettazhia oregonensis and Bogolubovia orientalis respectively.

Its explanation is in terms of statistics that rest on the fact the system is composed of several species of particles or collective motions, the members of each species respectively being in some sense all alike.

To the north and west are the Great Lakes of respectively Lake Victoria ( Africa's largest lake ) and Lake Tanganyika ( the continent's deepest lake, known for its unique species of fish ) – and to the southwest lies Lake Nyasa.

Maxillae and a lacrimal ( the main tooth-bearing bones of the upper jaw, and the bone that forms the anterior margin of the eye socket, respectively ) recovered in 1999 by the Sino-Belgian Dinosaur Expeditions were found to pertain to Velociraptor, but not to the type species V. mongoliensis.

Some people use " duck " specifically for adult females and " drake " for adult males, for the species described here ; others use " hen " and " drake ", respectively.

In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the term crayfish or cray generally refers to a saltwater spiny lobster, of the genus Jasus that is indigenous to much of southern Oceania, while the freshwater species are usually called yabby or, from the indigenous Australian and Māori names for the animal respectively, or by other names specific to each species.

Good examples of species common to more than one genus are the stratiformis and lenticularis types, each of which is common to mostly stable stratocumuliform genera in the high -, middle -, and low-height ranges ( cirrocumulus, altocumulus, and stratocumulus, respectively ).

The full technical name of a cloud in this configuration would be altocumulus stratiformis opacus radiatus, which would identify respectively its genus, species, and two combined varieties.

There are a number of insular species ; these include a number of species found in the Greater Sundas, one species in the Philippines as well as two monophyletic genera endemic to Cuba and Hispaniola respectively.

Sexual and asexual isolates of the same species commonly carry different binomial species names, as, for example, Aspergillus nidulans and Emericella nidulans, for asexual and sexual isolates, respectively, of the same species.

The " wild garlic ", " crow garlic ", and " field garlic " of Britain are members of the species Allium ursinum, Allium vineale, and Allium oleraceum, respectively.

Ancient Greek and Latin used the same word, kedros and cedrus respectively, for different species of plants now classified in the genera Cedrus and Juniperus ( juniper ).

While sea lions are generally larger than fur seals and lack the dense underfur of the latter, the long-standing division into subfamilies ( Arctocephalinae and Otariinae for fur seals and sea lions, respectively ) is unjustified in light of genetic evidence suggesting several fur seal species are more closely related to some sea lions than other fur seals.

Many species of oak, chestnut, and beech ( genera Quercus, Castanea, and Fagus respectively ) are commonly used as timber for floors, furniture, cabinets, and wine barrels.
