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.

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.

As the largest and most spectacular forest antelope, the western / lowland bongo is both an important flagship species for protected areas such as national parks, and a major trophy species which has been taken in increasing numbers in Central Africa by sport hunters during the 1990s.

Only one species protected by CITES, the Spix's Macaw, has possibly become extinct in the wild as a result of trade since the Convention entered into force ( but see case studies in Hutton and Dickinson and Stiles for further discussion of the role CITES has played in the fate of particular species ).

Roughly 5, 000 species of animals and 29, 000 species of plants are protected by CITES against over-exploitation through international trade.

Each protected species or population is included in one of three lists, called Appendices ( explained below ).

; Lists of species included in Appendices I, II and III ( i. e. species protected by CITES )

All plants, wildlife, and aquatic species are protected to one degree or another.

Currently, most species are protected and hunting is mostly limited to subsistence harvest.

In the gradual process of families improving their immediate environment, useful tree and vine species were identified, protected and improved whilst undesirable species were eliminated.

The giraffe is a protected species in most of its range.

Most Protea species can be placed in one of two broad groups according to their response to fire: reseeders are killed by fire, but fire also triggers the release of their canopy seed bank, thus promoting recruitment of the next generation ; resprouters survive fire, resprouting from a lignotuber or, more rarely, epicormic buds protected by thick bark.

All species have been adversely affected by historic deforestation but currently large areas of their forest habitat are well protected in reserves and national parks.

The narrow, deeply incised valleys of the north also provide a habitat for rare plants and animals, especially the European Otter, a protected species.

Local timber merchants are harvesting scarce species of rosewood trees from protected rainforests within Marojejy National Park and exporting the wood to China for the production of luxury furniture and musical instruments.

Wilderness areas and protected parks are considered important for the survival of certain species, ecological studies, conservation, solitude, and recreation.

A total of 415 animal species have been included in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation as of 1997 and are now protected.

The smallest protected wildlife species include Cloude Apolle butterflies and Roman snails.

Many species of the Tetraodontidae, Triodontidae and Diodontidae are further protected from predation by tetrodotoxin, a powerful neurotoxin concentrated in the animals ' internal organs.

All Coregonus species are protected under appendix III of the Bern Convention.

Many species of duck are temporarily flightless while moulting ; they seek out protected habitat with good food supplies during this period.

Some states make a distinction between protected species and unprotected species ( often vermin or varmints for which there are no hunting regulations ).
