### species:

Plant specie
* Many plant species are especially sensitive to certain pollutants
  - polyploid or contain polyploid taxa
  - salt sensitive
  - suitable for landscaping in defensible space
  - tolerant of fire
* Many plant species can differ genetically even throughout one state
  - grow back from even tiny fragments, thereby infesting new water bodies
  - depend almost entirely on bats for pollination
* Many plant species depend on insects for pollination
  - the effects of fire for growth and reproduction
* Many plant species grow along the shores of the waterway and in the adjacent pine forest
  - epiphytically on the tree ferns
* Many plant species have distinct ecotypes on the sea coast, in the desert, or in the mountains
  - morphological adaptations for occurrence in wetlands
  - occur on large archeological site , often with above the ground structures
  - reach the top of the forest by climbing the tall trees
  - require fire as a part of their life cycle
* Most plant species are hermaphrodites
  - vascular plants with well-developed root and shoot systems
* Some plant species contain chemicals that are unique and can only be found in the rainforests
  - exhibit vivid coloration in the form of iridescence
  - grow excessively and others disappear
* Some plant species have a lower tolerance to cold temperature than others
  - male and female organs on separate plants
  - roots above ground that provide support for the entire plant
  - integrate other environmental parameters into the decision to flower
  - occur only in serpentine areas
* become rare for several reasons.
* exhibit different types of emergence.
* have a remarkable ability of filling in the blanks
  - salinity tolerance rating and maximum tolerable quantities are known
* vary from banksias and eucalypts to tropical plants common throughout South-East Asia
  - in resistance to trifluralin
* vary in their ability to accumulate nitrate
  - tolerance of wetland conditions

Poisonous specie
* Some poisonous species have many species that mimic it in an attempt to avoid predation.
* are almost non-existent in northeastern Illinois
  - quite rare

### species:

Precocial specie
* leave the nest shortly after birth or hatching.
+ Precocial, Birds: Developmental biology :: Birds :: Mammals
  * The contrast between the two extremes is seen most clearly in birds. Precocial species leave the nest shortly after birth or hatching. Megapodes are a family of birds found in Australasia. Their eggs are not incubated by the parents. They are buried in compost, covered with sand and left, though the males test the temperature of the heap and make small adjustments. The eggs, which have a large yolk, hatch with full wing feathers. The hatchlings can run and purse prey, and many species can fly on their first day.

Primate specie
* Many primate species consume diversified, omnivorous diets.
* Most primate species remain at least partly arboreal.

Rare specie
* Many rare species require large contiguous blocks of habitat to survive.
* live and hunt in small packs.

Related specie
* do often have the same number of chromosomes.
* have secretions that are more similar than distantly related species.
* provide timber for construction and charcoal.
* share embryological development.

Ring specie
* are species with a geographic distribution that forms a ring and overlaps at the ends.
* show that reproductive isolation can evolve without any genetic revolutions.

Seabird specie
* Many seabird species migrate here by the millions to feed on the Bay's rich food sources.
* Most seabird species killed by longline vessels are active during the day.
* Some seabird species are sedentary, while others migrate over extreme distances.
