Species
Bing and Ruth is the ever-evolving project helmed by New York composer David Moore. While on a surface level, 'Species' is an exploration of the sonic possibilities of the Farfisa organ, aided only by a clarinet and double bass (played respectively by founding members Jeremy Viner and Jeff Ratner), the title 'Species' is a nod to both humanity and humility - a devotion to the godly intuition with which we are all endowed, and the humbleness required of us to perceive it. It's also about suspended time and trance; not just a steady movement from A to B, but as something that flows, meanders and eddies, like water.

On the Origin of Species : The Science Classic
A new, deluxe hardcover edition of one of the most important scientific works ever written In December 1831, Charles Darwin boarded the HMS Beagle, accompanying her crew on a five-year journey that crossed the Atlantic Ocean to survey the coasts of South America.As the expedition’s geologist and naturalist, Darwin collected evidence from the Galapagos Islands and other locations which prompted him to speculate that species evolve over generations through a process of natural selection.In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, a work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.His revolutionary work presented evidence from the Beagle expedition as well as from years of subsequent research and experimentation. Written for non-specialists, Darwin’s book gained widespread interest from the scientific community, religious leaders, politicians and the general public.The theory Darwin presented in his book quickly became the subject of heated debate and discussion.Now accepted by the scientific community, Darwin’s concepts of evolutionary adaptation via natural selection are central to modern evolutionary theory and form the foundation of modern life sciences.Perhaps the most transformative scientific volume ever published, this volume of the first edition of On the Origin of Species: Outlines Darwin’s ideas, scientific influences and the core of his theoryDetails natural selection and address possible objections to the theoryExamines the fossil record and biogeography to support evolutionary adaptationFeatures a "Recapitulation and Conclusion" which reviews key concepts and considers the future relevance of Darwin’s theory On the Origin of Species: The Science Classic is an important addition to the bestselling Capstone Classics series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon.It includes an insightful Introduction from leading Darwin scholar Dr John van Wyhe of the University of Singapore, which presents new research and an offers an original perspective on Darwin and his famous work. This high-quality, hardcover volume is a must-have for readers interested in science and scientific literature, particularly evolutionary theory and life sciences.

Kangaroo species
Kangaroos are marsupials native to Australia and are known for their powerful hind legs, large feet, and long tails. There are four main species of kangaroos: the red kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, western grey kangaroo, and antilopine kangaroo. Each species has its own unique characteristics and can be found in different regions of Australia. Kangaroos are herbivores and primarily feed on grasses, leaves, and shrubs.

'Unicellular species'
Unicellular species are organisms that consist of only a single cell. These organisms carry out all of the necessary functions for life within this single cell, including obtaining nutrients, reproducing, and responding to their environment. Examples of unicellular species include bacteria, archaea, and protists. Despite being simple in structure, unicellular species can be highly diverse and have adapted to thrive in a wide range of environments.

Kangaroos are marsupials native to Australia and are known for their powerful hind legs, large feet, and long tails. There are four main species of kangaroos: the red kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, western grey kangaroo, and antilopine kangaroo. These species vary in size, with the red kangaroo being the largest and the antilopine kangaroo being the smallest. Kangaroos are herbivores and are well adapted to the Australian outback, using their strong legs to hop long distances and their tails for balance.

Sheep species
There are several species of sheep, including the domestic sheep (Ovis aries), which is the most common species raised for its wool, meat, and milk. Other species of sheep include the bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) and the mouflon (Ovis orientalis), among others.

Understanding Species
Are species worth saving? Can they be resurrected by technology? What is the use of species in biomedicine? These questions all depend on a clear definition of the concept of 'species', yet biologists have long struggled to define this term.In this accessible book, John S. Wilkins provides an introduction to the concept of 'species' in biology, philosophy, ethics, policymaking and conservation.Using clear language and easy-to-understand examples throughout, the book provides a history of species and why we use them.It encourages readers to appreciate the philosophical depth of the concept as well as its connections to logic and science.For any interested reader, this short text highlights the complexities of a single idea in biology, the problems with the concept of 'species' and the benefits of it in helping us to answer the bigger questions and understand our living world.

Species, Science and Society : The Role of Systematic Biology
This book presents an engaging and accessible examination of the role of systematic biology in species exploration and biodiversity conservation. Our planet and systematic biology are at a crossroads.Millions of species face an imminent threat of extinction, and, with knowledge of only a fraction of earth’s species we are unprepared to respond.Species, Science and Society explains what is at stake if we continue to ignore the traditional mission of systematics.Rejecting claims that it is too late to document earth’s species, that molecular evidence is sufficient and that comparative morphology and the grand traditions of systematics are outdated, this book makes a compelling argument for a taxonomic renaissance.The book challenges readers to rethink assumptions about systematics.Shattering myths and misconceptions and clarifying the role of systematics in confronting mass extinction, it hopes to inspire a new generation of systematists.Readers are given a deeply personal view of the mission, motivations and rewards of systematic biology.Written in narrative style with passion, wit and optimism, it is the first book to question the growing dominance of molecular data, defend descriptive taxonomy and propose a mission to discover, describe and classify all species.Our evolutionary heritage, the fate of society and the future of the planet depend on what we do next. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and professionals working in systematics, taxonomy and biodiversity conservation, as well as students with a basic background in biology.

'Ara species'
Ara species are a group of large, colorful parrots native to Central and South America. They are known for their vibrant plumage, long tails, and strong beaks. Ara species are highly intelligent and social birds, often forming strong bonds with their human caretakers. Unfortunately, many Ara species are threatened by habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.

Unicellular species
Unicellular species are organisms that consist of a single cell, as opposed to multicellular organisms that are made up of multiple cells. These single-celled organisms can carry out all the necessary functions for life within that one cell, including obtaining nutrients, reproducing, and responding to their environment. Examples of unicellular species include bacteria, archaea, protists, and some types of algae. Despite their simple structure, unicellular species play important roles in various ecosystems and can have significant impacts on the environment.

Which animal species drink milk from other species?
Several animal species drink milk from other species, including humans, cats, dogs, and some birds. For example, humans consume cow's milk, while cats and dogs are often fed milk from cows or goats. Additionally, some bird species, such as cuckoos, lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species and rely on the host bird to feed their chicks with their own milk-like substance. This behavior is known as brood parasitism.
