2105 examples of Species in a sentence

And so we used this instrument for several years to study our phytoplankton cultures, species like those charismatic ones that I showed you, just studying their basic cell biology.

How can a single species be so abundant across so many different habitats?

And wasn't it reason that gave us the means to despoil the planet and threaten our species with weapons of mass destruction?

And that's certainly true of our gregarious and loquatious species, well endowed with the instinct for language.

SP: Still, I have become convinced that reason is a better angel that deserves the greatest credit for the moral progress our species has enjoyed and that holds out the greatest hope for continuing moral progress in the future.

We've also described another species of bipedal octopus.

But it turns out that E. coli is outnumbered in your gut about a thousand to one by other species, many of which you probably haven't heard of.

We tracked two different species in the jungle, one in Vietnam, one in Costa Rica, and then we sequenced the DNA from their stool.

And what we found in the DNA is that in the wild, these two species had totally different sets of microbes.

It was like a fingerprint for the species.

Picture a rainforest that's been burned to the ground and taken over by a few invasive species.

Now, of course, we were very interested to find out what are these so-called invasive species that are taking over in the zoo.

And then the same two species of monkey in the zoo are converging, so their microbiomes change and they become much more similar to each other, even though these are zoos on different continents, different geographical regions, and they're eating different diets.

Now, we did study some other species of primate.

What species of primate do you think is even more divergent from the wild primates than the captive primates?

But given the widespread nature of such manipulations, it would be completely implausible for humans to be the only species that weren't similarly affected.

At the end of "On the Origin of Species," Charles Darwin writes about the grandeur of life, and of endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful, and I like to think he could easily have been talking about a tapeworm that makes shrimp sociable or a wasp that takes cockroaches for walks.

We think we know most of the animal kingdom, but there may be millions of tiny species waiting to be discovered.

What animal species creates this civilization?

But to come back, where I am at the animal species, there is things to see.

Through a lot of trial and error, we developed a procedure where we could reprogram cells and even convert one bacterial species into another, by replacing the genome of one cell with that of another.

Our synthetic cell work was the proof of concept that we could reverse this process: pull a complete bacterial genome sequence out of the computer and convert that information into a free-living, self-replicating cell, with all of the expected characteristics of the species that we constructed.

He said, "Take a black wetsuit, band it in yellow stripes like a bumblebee, and you'll be mimicking the warning systems of most marine species."

So biologically, there are plenty of species that display banding or patterns, warning patterns, to either be cryptical in the water or warn against being attacked, not the least of which is the pilot fish which spends a big slab of its life around the business end of a shark.

Now we all have this feeling that we're somehow just getting better as a human race, inexorably progressing, but it's not like we've evolved into a new species in a century.

While indeed we haven't evolved into a new species in a century, the gene pool within competitive sports most certainly has changed.

There are more than 12,000 species of ants, in every conceivable environment, and they're using interactions differently to meet different environmental challenges.

It's interesting that the ants are using an algorithm that's so similar to the one that we recently invented, but this is only one of a handful of ant algorithms that we know about, and ants have had 130 million years to evolve a lot of good ones, and I think it's very likely that some of the other 12,000 species are going to have interesting algorithms for data networks that we haven't even thought of yet.

Whatever resource one species is using, another species is likely to be using that at the same time.

The system keeps going unless something negative happens, and one species that I study makes circuits in the trees of foraging ants going from the nest to a food source and back, just round and round, unless something negative happens, like an interaction with ants of another species.
