species 1. (Biology) biology. a. any of the taxonomic groups into which a genus is divided, the members of which are capable of interbreeding: often containing subspecies, varieties, or races. A species is designated in italics by the genus name followed by the specific name, for example Felis domesticus (the domestic cat).

- VARIETY A Variety is a plant that is only slightly different from the species plant, but the differences are not so insignificant as the differences in a form. The Latin is varietas, which is usually abbreviated to var. The name follows the Genus and species name, with var. before the individual variety name.ogether, the Genus and species name refer to only one plant, and they are used to identify that particular plant. Sometimes, the species is further divided into sub-species that contain plants not quite so distinct that they are classified as Varieties.

- noun (plural same). 1 (abbreviation: sp., spp.) Biology A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g. Homo sapiens. Most writers deny thinking of a specific reader, or of a species called readers when writing. 2  In an industry where song writers are a rare species, Louie X has come to stand-out as one of the most song writers of note.

- OBJECTIVE: To recognize the fact that a species is not genetically homogeneous and to consider the influence of that fact on the ecology of a species. 1. A morphological definition: A species is a population of organisms whose members, within a considerable range of natural variations are structurally different from all other organisms.

Species and Subspecies (Biological) species and subspecies are populational concepts in the sense that gene flow is at least potentially possible among members of the taxon. With the subspecies concept, there is a defined geographic component to the definition.

species In biology, a species (abbreviated sp. , with the plural form species abbreviated spp. ) is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. usable definition of the word species and reliable methods of identifying particular species are essential for stating and testing biological theories and for measuring biodiversity, though other taxonomic levels such as families may be considered in broad-scale studies.

- In my own field of evolutionary biology, races of animals (also called “subspecies” or “ecotypes”) are morphologically distinguishable populations that live in allopatry (i.e. are geographically separated). There is no firm criterion on how much morphological difference it takes to delimit a race.

- 1 (abbreviation: sp., spp.) Biology A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g.Homo sapiens.ore. The connection may not be immediately obvious, but species is based on Latin specere ‘to look’. The Latin root is reflected in some of the early uses of the word, such as ‘the outward look or appearance of something’, or ‘an image or reflection’.

Wildlife Related subspecies are less distinct than species of the same genus. Generally speaking, two related subspecies can successfully interbreed but two species cannot. If a subspecies can be shown to be different enough, it can be elevated to species status.

variety a group of organisms that differs in some way from other groups of the same species. Botanically this is often below the level of subspecies, but in zoology the term is often synonymous with subspecies or race. However, it is also often used for a morphological variant, for example forms displaying MELANISM.
