Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection. ↗

We observe closely related species in sympatry and infer how they evolved from a common ancestor. ↗

It had an enormous impact to the point of the United Nations passing a resolution against the killing and hunting of these whales as they are an endangered species. This was a documentary on the plight of the whales. ↗

Why is it not just as likely that there were as many small general nearly at first as now, and as great a disproportion in the number of their species? ↗

I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families. ↗

We are a complex species to observe. ↗

I've had a love of animals from birth. I love getting to know other species. We should all be aware that there is not one thing we can give a wild animal in captivity that they need. ↗

As I like to say, the entire collective memory of the species - that means all known and recorded information - is going to be just a few keystrokes away in a matter of years. ↗

With the advent of genetic engineering the time required for the evolution of new species may literally collapse. ↗
