### species:

Ant specie
* Many ant species have a fondness for honeydew that aphids produce from feeding on plants
  - produce large dendritic networks of trails around their nest
* Most ant species are social insects, living in large cooperative groups called colonies.
* Most ant species have a system in which only the queen and breeding females can mate
  - only one queen per nest
  - live in the soil
  - make homes where they always live
* Some ant species feed predominantly on sweets, whereas others prefer meat and grease.
* Some ant species have more than one queen in the nest
  - several queens in a nest, some have only one
  - live on fungi which they plant, grow, and take care of in underground galleries
  - make slaves out of another ant species
+ Ant, Development and reproduction, Mating:
  * Most ant species have a system in which only the queen and breeding females can mate. Contrary to popular belief, some ant nests have multiple queens while others can exist without queens.
+ Army ant: Ants
  * Most ant species make homes where they always live. Army ants do not. They keep moving. All  army ant species are members of the ant family, Formicidae, but there are several kinds that have evolved on their own the same behavior.

Aphid specie
* Many aphid species are efficient vectors of plum pox
  - undergo sexual reproduction and deposit eggs
* Some aphid species depend heavily on ants for survival and dispersal.

### species:

Aquatic specie
* Many aquatic species have a fierce bite and are aggressive
  - different levels of tolerance to stream quality
* Most aquatic species require oxygen to survive, only less of it than land dwellers
  - survive better in waters with low turbidity
* Some aquatic species are rather large
  - can survive more than two weeks out of water
* Some aquatic species have fur, such as in beavers
  - protuberances on the chin in the form of tubercles and papillae
  - survive well in highly turbid water
* are excellent indicators of ecosystem health
  - far less consequential to man
  - often the first to suffer from contaminated water
  - proportionately more threatened than terrestrial species
* can serve as indicators of the health of a stream.
* require varied habitat created by a dynamic river system.
* use either internal or external fertilization.

Australian specie
* Many Australian species are unlike any other plants and animals elsewhere
  - look superficially like popular edible European species
* are small and the sting causes only local pain and swelling.

Avian specie
* are less likely to become extinct if they are common across large ranges.
* respond faster to the providing of food once physical condition has been affected.

### species:

Bat specie
* All bat species have eyes and are capable of sight.
* Many bat species are in decline as a direct or indirect result of human activity
  - eat insects that damage crops and spread disease
  - mark their territory using scent glands on their neck and chin
  - suffer from small populations
* Most bat species leave in winter, permitting exclusion in their absence.
* Some bat species eat a lot of harmful insects
  - fruit, nectar, pollen, smaller bats, birds and fish
  - live in caves only during the summer, some during the winter
* Some bat species migrate south
  - to warmer areas
+ Common misconceptions, Science, Biology: Society :: Lists :: Knowledge

Candida specie
* adhere to the denture surface and infect the area.
* are frequent causes of hospital acquired infection.
* are the most common cause of opportunistic fungal infection worldwide
  - primary cause of opportunistic yeast infections
* is now the fourth leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections.

Carp specie
* are the most widely cultivated family of freshwater fish.
* predominate but tilapias are also present.
