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.

The type species, A. sarcophagus, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named.

Due to his contributions to natural philosophy, the plant species Alberta magna and the asteroid 20006 Albertus Magnus were named after him.

During the quarter century 1826-1850, 41 species and 6 genera of Apicomplexa were named.

By 1987 a comprehensive survey of the phylum was completed: in all, 4516 species and 339 genera had been named.

* the gregarines ( subclass Gregarinasida ) with 1624 named species and 231 named genera

Carl Linnaeus, who named the species in his seminal Systema Naturae of 1758, would have known this and may have intended the ironic double meaning.

So far, only a single bird species, which has not been named, has been confidently identified from both above and below the K-Pg boundary ( it is present in the Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation and Danian Fort Union Formation ).

In New Guinea, Mayr collected several thousand bird skins ( he named 26 new bird species during his lifetime ) and, in the process also named 38 new orchid species.

also written von Haeckel, was an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista.

During a trip to the Mediterranean, Haeckel named nearly 150 new species of radiolarians.

Haeckel named thousands of new species from 1859 to 1887.

He even named the as-of-yet unfound species, Pithecanthropus alalus, and charged his students to go find it.

The Great Auk was one of the 4400 animal species originally described by Carolus Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, Systema Naturae, in which it was named Alca impennis.

* Missi Pyle as a Thermian crew member named Laliari ( though her real name is unpronounceable by our species ).

In 2010 it was announced that a new species of extinct giant sperm whale, Livyatan melvillei was named in honor of Melville.

Indigo is a color named after the blue dye derived from the plant Indigofera tinctoria and related species.

In 1995 Meave Leakey named a new species of hominid Australopithecus anamensis following a series of fossil discoveries near Lake Turkana in 1965, 1987 and 1994, and is around 4. 1 million years old.

Two dwarf species, named Orcinus nanus and Orcinus glacialis, were described during the 1980s by Soviet researchers, but most cetacean researchers are skeptical about their status, and linking these directly to the types described below is difficult.

In the early 1840s he named two fossil fish species after her — Acrodus anningiae, and Belenostomus anningiae — and another after her friend, Elizabeth Philpot.

In addition, several animal species are so named, including Apistogramma agassizi Steindachner, 1875 ( Agassiz's dwarf cichlid ); Isocapnia agassizi Ricker, 1943 ( a stonefly ); Publius agassizi ( Kaup ), 1871 ( a passalid beetle ); Xylocrius agassizi ( LeConte ), 1861 ( a longhorn beetle ); Exoprosopa agassizi Loew, 1869 ( a bee fly ); and the most well-known, Gopherus agassizii Cooper, 1863 ( the desert tortoise ).

A Martian named Tweel ( one of several species encountered ) is depicted as a sympathetic, intelligent being who thinks as well as or better than a human, but in a convincingly alien manner ( a rare feat at any time, but especially striking for pulp science fiction of that era ).
