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.

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.

An environmental switch mechanism controls seasonal dimorphism observed in bivoltine species, or species having two broods per year.

They've got a big vulture from Tanganika at the zoo here, with a wife for him, too, very rare birds, both of them, the only Vulturidae of their species outside Africa.

We are concerned not with the genus communism nor with other species of the genus: Platonic, Stoic, early Christian, monastic, canonist or theological communism ; ;

In another study chromium-substituted aluminum oxyhydroxides and related species, prepared homogeneously by high-temperature hydrolysis, are being characterized and investigated spectrally in the ultraviolet region with a view to identification and semiquantitative estimation of the phases formed under varying preparative conditions.

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.

Larvae and most aquatic adult amphibians excrete the nitrogen as ammonia in large quantities of dilute urine while terrestrial species, with a greater need to conserve water, excrete the less toxic product urea.

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.

However, some species with hairy seeds ( e. g. Eriospermum, family Asparagaceae s. l.

Blandfordia is the only genus in the family Blandfordiaceae, with four species distributed in eastern Australia.

A more or less typical monocotyledon, the species can be recognized by its shortly branched inflorescence covered with branched hairs ( giving rise to the common name of Lamb's-tail ).

The family includes some 150 species with a worldwide distribution, excluding Europe and northern Asia.
