It is true that some biologists have urged certain technical objections to the employment of domesticated animals and their history as analogies to the processes and results in wild nature.
While a few years ago chemists and biologists were eagerly expecting to discover a method of manufacturing a bit of living matter by artificial means, that hope has now been practically abandoned.
The doctrine of cells and protoplasm appeared to offer to biologists no longer the complicated problems which were associated with animals and plants, but the same problems stripped of all side issues and reduced to their lowest terms.
One class of biologists adhere closely to the view already outlined, and insist for this reason that acquired variations can not under any conditions be inherited.
At one time it was believed that it was the key which would unlock all doors, and for a decade biologists eagerly pursued embryology with the expectation that it would solve all problems in connection with the history of animals.
Moreover, from the very first, some biologists thought protoplasm to be not one, but more likely a mixture of several substances.
The first answer which biologists gave to this question was that assimilation, growth, and reproduction were the simple properties of a complex chemical compound.
When this reign of protoplasm was at its height and biologists were seeking for even greater simplicity a most astounding discovery was announced.
The doctrine of protoplasm, however, so captivated the minds of biologists that for quite a number of years the nucleus was ignored, at least in all discussions connected with the nature of life.
For many years some biologists continued to believe that cells can have other origin than from pre-existing cells.
At one point the world’s only survivors were two males and a female, Rio Grande Villagers that biologists had removed to a laboratory aquarium at the University of Texas at Austin.

Indeed, the fact is acknowledged by all chemists and biologists who look beyond their immediate occupations.
This view was held by the great majority of the biologists of the eighteenth century, in spite of the fact that Wolff proved it in 1759 to be without foundation.
At once a number of biologists instituted fresh embryological inquiries, and began to confirm Wolff's theory of epigenesis.
Although by no means neglected, they have not received as much attention on the part of biologists as has been given to other phyla, or indeed to the other classes of this same phylum.
The tunicates are interesting to biologistsfrom the remarkable changes they undergo in their life-history, and (in some genera) the marked phase of alternation of generation.
Much of the popularity of the theory of natural selection is due to the fact that biologists have not yet been able to discover a substitute for it.
So vast is the field of biology, that now-a-days biologists are compelled to specialise to some extent.
The majority of the best biologists of his time did not attempt to oppose him.
The hope of solving them lies, not in the speculations in which biologists of to-day are so fond of indulging, but in observation and experiment, especially the last.
He thus stood head and shoulders above the biologists of his day.
The Theory of Warning Colouration All biologists admit that there exist some organisms which are not coloured so as to be inconspicuous.
Since Darwin's day the science has not made the progress that might reasonably have been expected, because the theory has so captivated the minds of the majority of biologists that they see everything through Darwinian spectacles.
Modern biologists are commonly supposed to fall into two schools of thought--the Neo-Darwinian and the Neo-Lamarckian.
Together as biologists they realized the greatness of Darwin's vision; together they bore the brunt of the battle of the Origin at Oxford.
Cultural differences cannot, biologists are generally agreed, be transmitted in the germs that pass from generation to generation.
Biologists would be just as much at a loss if there were only individuals and no species, and if heredity did not make sons like their fathers.
That eugenics has at least its theoretical possibilities with regard to physical traits, few biologists will question.
As a result of such observation, particularly by such biologists as Watson and Jennings,[1] instincts have come to be regarded not as general and purposive but as specific and automatic.
It is incumbent on biologists to devise new ways of presenting their knowledge so that it can be easily and effectively used by decision makers, who are often less informed.
Although a few field biologists vigorously dissented, "establishment" ecologists regarded fluctuations as a departure from the norm, and as such, a hazard to the population.
However, I believe that the proceedings will long be of importance to biologists and administrators alike in charting their respective courses to ultimately assure conservation of this valuable avian resource.
Use of General Principles in Solving Conservation Problems Game biologists have successfully maintained the populations of hunted animals by using a number of classical principles of game management.
It is the responsibility of biologists and politicians, without emotional biases, to find the balance between the requirements of the two spheres of interest.
These surveys have, however, enabledbiologists to delineate waterfowl habitats and make reasonable estimates of populations for some of the more abundant and conspicuous species (King and Lensink 1971; U.
A less obvious but important reason is that oceanographers and fishery biologists have overlooked seabirds as important members of marine ecosystems.
Of paramount importance, and one which biologists tend to neglect, is communication among all disciplines interested in seabirds.
It is realistic to assume that, until development-related problems occur in the North, biologists cannot estimate the magnitude or ecological dimensions of their effects.
In short, biologists must do for the environmental impact statement assessors what Roger Tory Peterson did for the bird watchers by giving them a simple and comprehensible system.
If game biologists in these countries could agree on proposed changes in the game acts, owing to the marked decline of a number of bird species, the parliamentary basis for such a legal step would be absolutely certain.
To geologists and biologists it is intended to give some intelligible explanation of the connection of the doctrines of revealed religion with the results of their respective sciences.
Biologists are generally agreed in holding the doctrine of "descent with modifications," but there is no agreement as to the method by which variations in species are brought about.
As he walks along the hallways he sees tacked on the doors the cards of biologists from all over the world, exposing names with which he has long been familiar.
We cannot explain the philosophy of heredity without being able to answer these questions; but difficult as is the problem, our biologists have made various attempts at an explanation.
But if it did not work in practice, it certainly worked on the intellects of biologists everywhere, exactly what Darwin wished; it set them to thinking.
The only other theory which I shall mention is that of Weismann, which has been before the public for more than a decade, and it is safe to say it has produced a more profound impression upon biologists than all others.

But not only does it seem that there is little appreciation among biologists for the scientific import of imagination, they also appear to have little sense for the significance of theory.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "biologists" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
