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.

* Atlas Cedar, a cedar tree sometimes included in Cedrus libani, sometimes treated as species C. atlantica

* Atlas Flycatcher ( Ficedula speculigera ), a songbird species sometimes included in the Eurasian Pied Flycatcher

The two large families are cosmopolitan, with many of their species found in the northern hemisphere, and the smaller families are usually confined to Australia and the adjacent areas, or sometimes South America.

He was considered the 19th century's leading expert on the geographical distribution of animal species and is sometimes called the " father of biogeography ".

Antibacterial-resistant strains and species, sometimes referred to as " superbugs ", now contribute to the emergence of diseases that were for a while well controlled.

The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous, usually for one breeding season at a time, sometimes for years, but rarely for life.

A third species, B. thuringiensis, is an important insect pathogen, and is sometimes used to control insect pests.

) Before a major fire, typical chaparral plant communities are dominated by manzanita, chamise ( also called greasewood or Adenostoma fasciculatum ) and Ceanothus species, Toyon ( which can sometimes be interspersed with scrub oaks ), and other drought-resistant shrubs with hard ( sclerophyllous ) leaves ; these plants resprout ( see resprouter ) from underground burls after a fire.

They are also sometimes called Moonflowers, one of several plant species to be so.

Biotope and habitat are sometimes used interchangeably, but the former applies to a community's environment, whereas the latter applies to a species ' environment.

Equidae ( sometimes known as the horse family ) is the taxonomic family of horses and related animals, including the extant horses, donkeys, and zebras, and many other species known only from fossils.

They formerly were assigned to the genus Hyracotherium ( sometimes known as Eohippus ), but the type species of that genus now is regarded to be not a member of this family ( see Hyracotherium ).

Although the early embryos of different species exhibit similarities, Haeckel apparently exaggerated these similarities in support of his Recapitulation theory, sometimes known as the Biogenetic Law or " Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny ".

One population of H. erectus, also sometimes classified as a separate species Homo ergaster, stayed in Africa and evolved into Homo sapiens.

Forests sometimes contain many tree species only within a small area ( as in tropical rain and temperate deciduous forests ), or relatively few species over large areas ( e. g., taiga and arid montane coniferous forests ).

It is the only species classified in the genus Callimico, and the monkeys are sometimes referred to as " callimicos ".

Campbell's dwarf hamster ( Phodopus campbelli ) is the most common — they are also sometimes called " Russian dwarfs "; however, many hamsters are from Russia, so this ambiguous name does not distinguish them from other species appropriately.

They are sometimes referred to as blackfish, a name used for some whale species, as well.

* The Okarito Kiwi, also known as the Rowi or Okarito Brown Kiwi, Apteryx rowi, first identified as a new species in 1994, is slightly smaller, with a greyish tinge to the plumage and sometimes white facial feathers.

They are simple in some commonly cultivated species ; in others they are pinnately toothed, or pinnate, sometimes multiple pinnate and dissected.

* Subgenus Sabaudia constitutes two species in the southwest Arabian peninsula and Eritrea, which are rather distinct from the other species, and are sometimes placed in their own genus Sabaudia.
