Males normally exhibit such behaviour though in some species, females and even juveniles are also involved.

One seed-to-seed life cycle for an annual can occur in as little as a month in some species, though most last several months.

Loyalty requires affection also to the office of the Sovereign, attachment to royalty, attachment to the law and to the constitution of the realm, and he who would, by force or by fraud, endeavour to prostrate that law and constitution, though he may retain his affection for its head, can boast but an imperfect and spurious species of loyalty ( R v O ' Connell ( 1844 ) 7 ILR 261 ).

Even though this element is not abundant, it is found in over 100 mineral species.

; from Montevideo comes a different species of sandwich called the chivito, even though it contains no goat meat. A Picada, the Italian-influenced between-meals standby.

Currently about 1, 200 species of birds are threatened with extinction by human activities, though efforts are underway to protect them.

All primates possess some bipedal ability, though most species primarily use quadrupedal locomotion on land.

The species entered Alaska 100, 000 years ago, though they did not move south until 13, 000 years ago.

There are nearly 20, 000 known species of bees in seven to nine recognized families, though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher.

The theory asserts that all currently living organisms on Earth share a common genetic heritage with each being the descendant from a single original species, though the suggestion of substantial horizontal gene transfer during early evolution has led to questions about monophyly of life.

Despite the failure of this derivation, the equilibrium constant for a reaction is indeed a constant, independent of the activities of the various species involved, though it does depend on temperature as observed by the van't Hoff equation.

The only bird group known for certain to have survived the K – T boundary is the Neornithines ( though one Paleogene species, Qinornis paleocenica, may represent a surviving non-neornithine bird ).

The earthworm species ( or composting worms ) most often used are red wigglers ( Eisenia fetida or Eisenia andrei ), though European nightcrawlers ( Eisenia hortensis or Dendrobaena Veneta ) could also be used.

* Some crustaceans, such as the coconut crab, though mainly omnivorous, will prey on turtle hatchlings, smaller crabs species, rats, and carrion

It is rare for these two similarly sized species to physically confront one another, though bobcat populations tend to diminish in areas with high coyote densities.

In the early days of European settlement in North Dakota, American beavers were the most valued and sought after furbearers, though other species were also taken, including coyotes.

The capybara is not a threatened species, though it is hunted for its meat and skin.

Capybaras are on the IUCN list, but are not considered a threatened species ; their population is stable through most of their South American range, though in some areas, hunting has reduced their numbers.

Thanks to Magneto, though, this re-imagined world is a place where a much more numerous mutant-kind are the dominant species, humans a disenfranchised and oppressed ' silent majority ', and Magneto himself rules supreme.

Colloquially, the common chimpanzee is often called the chimpanzee ( or " chimp "), though technically this term refers to both species in the genus Pan: the common chimpanzee and the closely related bonobo, formerly called the pygmy chimpanzee.

It is the sole species of the genus Anethum, though classified by some botanists in a related genus as Peucedanum graveolens ( L .) C. B. Clarke.

Many of the rivers and streams support the fish species commonly to be found in Britain and Ireland ; salmon and trout are also to be found in some, though less frequently than in previous times.

Orcas and some closely related species belong to the Delphinidae family and therefore qualify as dolphins, even though they are called whales in common language.

One can check one's calculation by employing both approaches, though it is important to be aware that most chemical species exist between the purely covalent and ionic extremes.

William James in his lecture ' Great Men and Their Environment ' underlined the importance of the Great Man's congruence with the surroundings ( in the broad sense ), though his ultimate point was that environments and individuals shape each other reciprocally, just as environments and individual members of animal species do according to Darwinian theory.

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.

Almost all species have a tight cluster of leaves ( a rosette ), either at the base of the plant or at the end of a more-or-less woody stem ; the leaves are less often produced along the stem.

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 remaining families count together for less than 500 species.

The fully neutral form ( structure ( 1 ) on the right ) is a very minor species in aqueous solution throughout the pH range ( less than 1 part in 10 < sup > 7 </ sup >).

Antibacterials such as penicillin and erythromycin, which used to have high efficacy against many bacterial species and strains, have become less effective, because of increased resistance of many bacterial strains.

Despite several differences in definitions, their importance becomes apparent as different methods of analysis when applied to acid – base reactions for gaseous or liquid species, or when acid or base character may be somewhat less apparent.

Whilst captive breeding programmes can be viewed as having been successful in ensuring survival of this species in Europe and North America, the situation in the wild has been less promising.

DNA evidence suggests the bonobo and common chimpanzee species separated from each other less than one million years ago ( similar in relation between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals ).

It is less toxic to mammals, but may be moderately toxic to some amphibian species, especially in the larval stage.

Ecosystem goods include the " tangible, material products " of ecosystem processes — food, construction material, medicinal plants — in addition to less tangible items like tourism and recreation, and genes from wild plants and animals that can be used to improve domestic species.

Von Baer ’ s laws state that general features of animals appear earlier in the embryo than special features, where less general features stem from the most general, each embryo of a species departs more and more from a predetermined passage through the stages of other animals, and there is never a complete morphological similarity between an embryo and a lower adult.

Paleontologist Donald Prothero noted that this is illustrated by the fact that the number of species known through the fossil record is less than 5 % of the number of known living species, suggesting that the number of species known through fossils must be far less than 1 % of all the species that have ever lived.

However, under some conditions, e. g. less fertile soils or less predictable drought regimes, the proportion of evergreen species increases and the forests are characterised as " sclerophyllous ".

These differences grow larger between less closely related species.

While primate species have communal sleeping arrangements, these groups are always on the move and thus are less likely to harbor ectoparasites.
