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.

Grampus is a former name for the species, but is now seldom used.

A few species of shrike are forest dwellers, seldom occurring in open habitats.

Bamboos seldom and unpredictably flower, and the frequency of flowering varies greatly from species to species.

Grazing organisms may also kill their prey species, but this is seldom the case.

Cankers caused by Strumella and Nectria species damage the holes of black oak but seldom kill trees.

The Common House Martin returns to the breeding grounds a few days after the first Barn Swallows ; like that species, particularly when the weather is poor, it seldom goes straight to the nesting sites, but hunts for food over large fresh water bodies.

The similar plumage of many species can make them hard to identify, particularly in winter when they seldom emerge from their grasses.

Other species can be very skittish and sometimes aggressive but bites are seldom serious.

Note the glossy cap, smaller bib and uniform wings which help distinguish it from the Willow Tit. In mixed winter tit flocks, seldom more than one or two Marsh Tits are present, and parties of this species alone are infrequent.

In general there are seldom more than three species occurring in the same area, although five species co-occur in the submontane forests of Sumatra.

In Malinalco there are very few dangerous animals: among snakes only account: coral snake, rattlesnake ( at least four species ) and the cliff, and despite its many spiders only one is really dangerous: the black widow and the Twelve species of scorpion registered in the municipality is really only a problem for human health, however one must consider that these species are not aggressive and do not attack if they are not causes, as well as their presence is so small that we seldom have reported serious cases.

Other species seldom do anything of that kind ; their corms simply grow larger in most seasons.

Native to Central America and South America, this arboreal mammal is not an endangered species, though it is seldom seen by people because of its strict nocturnal habits.

The species was introduced into North America in the late 19th century, and subsequently escaped cultivation, because its fruits, which seldom ripen in England, are relished by birds which disperse the seeds.

These polyploid species produce seeds that are often parthenogenetic triploid or diploids, lack vigour and seldom grow to mature plants.

As one of the most sought after food fish species in South America, it is often captured primarily by handheld nets for export, by spearfishing for local consumption, and, consequently, large arapaima of more than 2 m are seldom found in the wild today.

By comparison, scientific collectors were relatively few in number and seldom took large numbers of specimens of any one species, but competition between museums and private collectors to acquire the rarest of the rare put disproportionate collecting pressure on species whose populations were teetering on the brink.

Latrodectus bishopi is believed to be venomous like the other Latrodectus members, though no bites by this spider are recorded in the medical literature ; unlike cosmopolitan species such as the black and brown widows, it seldom comes into contact with humans.

Other species that are less rare, but still seldom seen in backyards and urban parks also are residents of the park.
