For here if anywhere in contemporary literature is a major effort to counterbalance Existentialism and restore some of its former lustre to the tarnished image of the species Man, or, as Malraux himself puts it, `` to make men conscious of the grandeur they ignore in themselves ''.

The misplaced modifier is another species more honored in the observance of obscurity than in the breach.

One species is restricted to statements which are neither explicit nor precise regarding a particular person, place, time or thing.

It seems to me that the first human being to reach one of these planets may well learn what it is to be a truly great and noble species ''.

If you really insist on knowing their names, an excellent book on the North American species is Bumblebees And Their Ways by O. E. Plath.

It is an amazing fact that in some species this will happen while the summer is still in full swing, for instance, in August.

One of my favorites is A. armata, a species very common in England, where it is sometimes referred to as the lawn bee.

Almost equal in size to a honeybee, A. armata is much more beautiful in color, at least in the female of the species: a rich, velvety, rusty red.

Its life history is much simpler than that of the truly colonial bumblebees and can serve as an example of the life cycle of many other species.

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.

Finally, it is suggested that in many respects the horse lung may be anatomically more comparable to that of the human than any other presently known species.

On chemical grounds it seems most likely that iodide is first converted to Af and then to Af as the active iodinating species.

There is a complete synonymy at the beginning of each species description.

There is Mijbil, an otter who travelled with Maxwell -- and gave Maxwell's name to a new species -- from the Tigris marshes to his London flat.

However, in contexts where " amoeboid " is defined more loosely, there are many amoeboid species that are in the Excavata clade.

The total number of known amphibian species is approximately 7, 000, of which nearly 90 % are frogs.

The numbers of species cited above follow Frost and the total number of known amphibian species is approximately 7, 000, of which nearly 90 % are frogs.

All modern amphibians are included in the subclass Lissamphibia, superorder Salientia, which is usually considered a clade, a group of species that have evolved from a common ancestor.

The suborder Neobatrachia is by far the largest group and includes the remaining families of modern frogs, including most common species.

Urodela is a name sometimes used for all the extant species of salamander.

The largest family in this group is Plethodontidae, the lungless salamanders, which includes sixty percent of all salamander species.

The colour change displayed by many species is initiated by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.

Some members of the genera Ambystoma and Dicamptodon have larvae that never fully develop into the adult form but this varies with species and with populations.

Von Baer ’ s laws state that general features of animals appear earlier in the embryo than special features, where less general features stem from the most general, each embryo of a species departs more and more from a predetermined passage through the stages of other animals, and there is never a complete morphological similarity between an embryo and a lower adult.

One example is the Siberian sturgeon ( Acipenser baerii ) which accidentally escaped from a fish farm into the Gironde Estuary ( Southwest France ) following a severe storm in December 1999 ( 5, 000 individual fish escaped into the estuary which had never hosted this species before ).

It is believed to spawn in bays in a similar manner to saltwater species, as their sperm were found to be motile only at full marine salinities, but actual wild breeding has never been observed.

In 2004, a tooth from a red panda species never before recorded in North America was discovered at the Gray Fossil Site in Tennessee.

When others of Odo's species ( the Founders ) are later introduced, they share a similar " unfinished " look, which they adopt to make Odo feel at ease around them as they are able to replicate humanoids exactly, whereas Odo, having grown up without others of his kind, never learned to master it.

Though the two species are never seen together, several references are made to the Rutan Host, an equally militaristic race with whom the Sontarans have been at war for more than 50, 000 years (" The Poison Sky ").

: From time to time a strange vehicle drew near to the place where they stood — such a vehicle as the lady at the window, in spite of a considerable acquaintance with human inventions, had never seen before: a huge, low, omnibus, painted in brilliant colours, and decorated apparently with jingling bells, attached to a species of groove in the pavement, through which it was dragged, with a great deal of rumbling, bouncing, and scratching, by a couple of remarkably small horses.

Furthermore, they noted that quill knobs are almost never found in flightless bird species today, and that their presence in Velociraptor ( presumed to have been flightless due to its relatively large size and short forelimbs ) is evidence that the ancestors of dromaeosaurids could fly, making Velociraptor and other large members of this family secondarily flightless, though it is possible the large wing feathers inferred in the ancestors of Velociraptor had a purpose other than flight.

The belief at the time was that lions could not mate with their own species, only with leopards ; thus Atalanta and Hippomenes would never be able to remain with one another.

These are encountered in various Salmonella species, most having never been linked to a specific host, but can also infect humans.

These became references for comparison of species and the ornithologists at these museums were able to compare species from different locations, often places that they themselves never visited.

Many ascomycetes cause food spoilage, and, therefore, the pellicles or moldy layers that develop on jams, juices, and other foods are the mycelia of these species or occasionally Mucoromycotina and almost never Basidiomycota.

There are some species, such as the medaka fish that evolved sex chromosomes separately, whose Y chromosome never inverted and can still swap genes with the X.

Most species that become extinct are never scientifically documented.

Numerous species are very poorly known, the Fiji Petrel has only been seen a handful of times since its discovery and the breeding colonies of the New Zealand Storm Petrel, Hornby's Storm Petrel and Heinroth's Shearwater have never been located.

Lions, hyenas, wolves, dholes, African wild dogs, and piranhas can kill large herbivores that single animals of the same species could never dispatch.

There are other species of the genus Loxosceles native to the southwestern part of the United States, including California, that may resemble the brown recluse, but these species have never been documented as medically significant.

Meanwhile, on Earth, an alternative version of Trillian, reporter Tricia McMillan, who never was able to take Zaphod Beeblebrox's offer to travel in space due to wanting to get her handbag, finds herself approached by an extraterrestrial species calling themselves the Grebulons.

Because of this it is not likely they emerged in freshwater ( unless they first migrated into freshwater habitats and then migrated onto land so shortly after that they still retained the ability to make urea ), although some species never left, or returned to, the water could of course have adapted to freshwater lakes and rivers.

They are likely descended from a full-sized species of European hippopotamus, and reached their small size through the evolutionary process of insular dwarfism which is common on islands ; the ancestors of pygmy hippopotami were also small and thus there was never a dwarfing process.

Other large plant species, which were never as numerous as the juniper, had also fared poorly in the presence of invasive species, but have become popular with gardeners and their numbers also have increased in managed areas.
