Buck's wives seemed another sort of specimen collection.
The entire building serves as a sort of specimen case, a framework for pondering the natural world while straining to disturb it as little as possible.
Stanford studied me for a moment, as if I were an odd sort of specimen, and then replied, "I just hope they don't squeeze the life out of the last engine in the economy that's got any gas left".
He worked with all sorts of specimens, from protozoa, to fireflies to amino acids.
EEB and XZ carried out the collection and sorting of specimens.
Two factors that influenced sampling effectiveness were whether morphospecies-based or liberal sorting of specimens was used, and whether microcrustaceans were the main goal of a collection.
Through an analysis of observed species richness and complementarity, accumulation curves, and richness estimators, we conduct an a posteriori analysis of five bioblitz-style collection strategies that differed in terms of total duration, number of sites, protocol flexibility to heterogeneous habitats, sorting of specimens for analysis, and primary purpose of collection.
We found differential sampling efficiency among the five strategies, with liberal sorting of specimens for molecular analysis, protocol flexibility (and particularly a focus on covering diverse microhabitats), and a taxon-specific focus to collection having strong influences on garnering more accurate species richness estimates.
Canada lost Tyler Ardron, their captain, at the end of the first quarter – just the sort of physical specimen they needed in the face of this onslaught.
Levi rings the bell even for himself, who in some way disappeared into his tattooed number: "At a distance of thirty years, I find it difficult to reconstruct what sort of human specimen, in November of 1944, corresponded to my name, or, rather, my number: 174517".
When photographs of plants first became common in the late 19th century, botanists saw them as a form of botanical illustration rather than as a sort of herbarium specimen and so stored them in botanical libraries rather than as part of the formal herbaria (Simpson and Barnes, 2008).
