The ship on which Charles Darwin made the voyage which provided much of the inspiration for On the Origin of Species was named HMS Beagle after the breed, and, in turn, lent its name to the ill-fated British Martian lander Beagle 2.

In 2000, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums ( AZA ) upgraded the bongo to a Species Survival Plan ( SSP ) Participant, which works to improve the genetic diversity of managed animal populations.

Species which depended on photosynthesis declined or became extinct because of the reduction in solar energy reaching the Earth's surface due to atmospheric particles blocking the sunlight.

Species are proposed for inclusion in or deletion from the Appendices at meetings of the Conference of the Parties ( CoP ), which are held approximately once every three years, the most recent of which ( CoP 15 ) was held in Qatar in March 2010.

During his time at the museum he produced numerous publications on bird taxonomy, and in 1942 his first book, Systematics and the Origin of Species, which completed the evolutionary synthesis started by Darwin.

Darwin did not use the term in Origin of Species until its sixth edition in 1872, ( though earlier editions did use the word " evolved ") by which time Herbert Spencer had given it scientific currency with a broad definition of progression in complexity in 1862.

Other legislation included National Environmental Policy Act ( NEPA ), signed into law in 1970, which established a United States Environmental Protection Agency and a Council on Environmental Quality ; the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 ; the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 1974 ), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ( 1976 ), the Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1977, which became known as the Clean Water Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly known as the Superfund Act ( 1980 ).

Gray whales are protected under Canada's Species at Risk Act which obligates Canadian governments to prepare management plans for the whales and consider the interests of the whales when permitting development.

In 1975 the Asian elephant was placed on Appendix One of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species ( CITES ) which prevents international trade between member countries.

In The Origin of Species, he wrote, " If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.

Studies of Charles Darwin's notebooks have shown that Darwin arrived separately at the idea of natural selection which he set out in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, but it has been speculated that he may have had some half-forgotten memory from his time as a student in Edinburgh of ideas of selection in nature as set out by Hutton, and by William Charles Wells and Patrick Matthew who had both been associated with the city before publishing their ideas on the topic early in the 19th century.

Species for which the reserve is important include Pale-bellied Brent Goose, Wigeon, Teal, Pintail, Merlin, Dunlin, Bar-tailed Godwit and many others.

The term was introduced by Darwin in his groundbreaking 1859 book On the Origin of Species, in which natural selection was described by analogy to artificial selection, a process by which animals and plants with traits considered desirable by human breeders are systematically favored for reproduction.

* 1859 – Charles Darwin publishes On the Origin of Species, the anniversary of which is sometimes called " Evolution Day "

In the fourth edition ( 1866 ) of On the Origin of Species Darwin wrote that " the periods during which species have undergone modification, though long as measured in years, have probably been short in comparison with the periods during which they retain the same form.

In his 1859 The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin recalls seeing coloured drawings of zebra-donkey hybrids, and mentions " Lord Moreton's famous hybrid from a chesnut mare and male quagga ..." Darwin mentioned this particular hybrid again in 1868 in The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, and provides a citation to the journal in which Lord Morton first described the breeding.

On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.

However, he later developed his theory of evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, which offers an alternate explanation of biological order.

Species may be split-listed meaning that some populations of a species are on one Appendix, while some are on another.

Species in the Appendices may be proposed for addition, change of Appendix, or de-listing ( i. e., deletion ) by any Party, whether or not it is a range State and changes may be made despite objections by range States if there is sufficient ( 2 / 3 majority ) support for the listing.

Species close to the last common ancestor of gorillas, chimpanzees and humans may be represented by Nakalipithecus fossils found in Kenya and Ouranopithecus found in Greece.

Species of Velociraptor, have also been reported from the slightly younger Barun Goyot Formation of Mongolia, though these are indeterminate and may belong to a related genus instead.

Species of yeast found in the tea can vary, and may include: Brettanomyces bruxellensis, Candida stellata, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Torulaspora delbrueckii and Zygosaccharomyces bailii.

Species in this genus may be part of the heath complex in oak-heath forests in eastern North America.

Species often have different mating or courtship patterns or behaviors, the breeding seasons may be distinct and even if mating does occur antigenic reactions to the sperm of other species prevent fertilization or embryo development.

Species of sea cucumbers with specialized care for their offspring may also nurse the young in body cavities or on their surfaces.

Species of both genera are native to the area where Greek language and culture originated, though as the word " kedros " does not seem to be derived from any of the languages of the Middle East, it has been suggested the word may originally have applied to Greek species of juniper and was later adopted for species now classified in the genus Cedrus because of the similarity of their aromatic woods.

Species that grow into a shrubby habit may be either deciduous or evergreen.

Species may be succulent or not.

Species that move short distances, however, may not need such a timing mechanism, and may move in response to local weather conditions.

Species that have multiple queens may have a queen leaving the nest along with some workers to found a colony at a new site, a process akin to swarming in honeybees.

Species may also be partly migratory, with northern populations being migratory but more temperate populations being resident ( like the Meadow Pipit in Europe ).

Species may interact once in a generation ( e. g. pollination ) or live completely within another ( e. g. endosymbiosis ).

Species in the Crithagra clade could conceivably be split further into several more ( sub ) genera and may well be once relationships within the clade are better resolved.

Darwin also noted, in On the Origin of Species, that a vestigial structure could be useless for its primary function, but still retain secondary anatomical roles: " An organ serving for two purposes, may become rudimentary or utterly aborted for one, even the more important purpose, and remain perfectly efficient for the other .... n organ may become rudimentary for its proper purpose, and be used for a distinct object.

All but five species of monitor lizard are classified by CITES ( the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ) under Appendix II, which is loosely defined as species that are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but may become so unless trade in such species is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilization incompatible with the survival of the species in the wild.

The Barbados Golden Warbler ( D. p. petechia ) is listed as " Endangered Foreign Wildlife " by the United States ' Endangered Species Act ( ESA ) since 1970 ; other than for scientific, educational or conservation purposes ( for which a permit may be available ) importing it into the USA is illegal.

The goal of the recovery program is to conserve and recover the species to the extent that it may be down-listed from endangered to threatened in the near future, and ultimately, that the population be healthy enough to no longer require federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Species can be recognized by their rosettes of more or less folded leaves with persistent bases and quite prominent nonglandular hairs.

Radford revealed that Tolentino " believed that the creatures and events she saw in Species were actually happening in reality in Puerto Rico at the time ," and therefore concludes that " the most important chupacabra description cannot be trusted.

Species can be identified at a distance using this characteristic.

When Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, the oldest animal fossils were those from the Cambrian Period, now known to be about 540 million years old.

Species can be placed in a ranked hierarchy, starting with either domains or kingdoms.

Species ( often dubious ones now known to be based on sexual variation or juvenile characters ) have been reclassified a number of times, and several sub-genera have in the 1970s been erected by Halsey Wilkinson Miller to hold them in various combinations, further confusing the taxonomy ( subgenera include Longicepia, Occidentalia, and Geosternbergia ).

It is often incorrectly assumed that he insisted that the rate of change must be constant, or nearly so, but even the first edition of On the Origin of Species states that " Species of different genera and classes have not changed at the same rate, or in the same degree.

Lyell and Hooker agreed that a joint paper should be presented at the Linnean Society, and on 1 July 1858, the papers entitled On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties ; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection, by Wallace and Darwin respectively, were read out but drew little reaction.

His subject matter was central to Victorian anxieties, which might be one reason Natural Theology continued to appeal to the reading public, making his book a best seller for most of the 19th century, even after the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species.

An isolated population in the Laptev Sea is considered by some authorities, including many Russian biologists and the canonical Mammal Species of the World, to be a third subspecies, O. r. laptevi ( Chapskii, 1940 ), and is managed as such in Russia.

* The starting points, the time from which these codes are in effect ( retroactively ), vary from group to group. In botany the starting point will often be in 1753 ( the year Carl Linnaeus first published Species Plantarum ).

Cellular necrosis can be induced by a number of external sources, including injury, infection, cancer, infarction, poisons, ROS ( Reactive Oxygen Species ), and inflammation.

Later on, Darwin would be influenced by Herschel's writings in developing his theory advanced in The Origin of Species.

By the time " Endangered Species " was unleashed in April 2002, Psyche was already booked to be halfway around the world again with two more " first times ": The Hague, Netherlands, and in the UK at INFEST.

Species living in forests, woodland, or bush tend to be sedentary, but many of the plains species undertake long migrations.
