extinction

1 It would be tragic to lose the elms, but it would be doubly tragic if, in vain efforts to save them, we plunge vast segments of our bird populations into the night of extinction.

2 The errors caused by prism extinction ratio variation are investigated.

研究了棱镜消光比变化引起的误差.

3 But here’s the thing: All that dying, all those extinctions?

4 In Europe, untold numbers of native species were crushed against the impassable barrier of the Alps and its smaller cousins and fell into extinction.

5 A rare wild rhinoceros on the brink of extinction is probably more satisfied than a calf who spends its short life inside a tiny box, fattened to produce juicy steaks.

6 The extinction of the Australian megafauna was probably the first significant mark Homo sapiens left on our planet.

7 Second, they also serve as a way of protecting some species from extinction.

其次, 动物园也具备保护某些动物免于绝种的功能.

8 The animals were ruthlessly hunted to the verge of extinction.

这些动物由于遭到无情的捕猎而濒于灭绝。

9 There are three pieces of evidence that weaken the climate alibi, and implicate our ancestors in the extinction of the Australian megafauna.

10 "And remember," added Anderson, "this was a relatively minor event. Do you know how many extinctions were associated with the Manson impact?"

11 Once the wild were on the verge of extinction, the natural ecology be ruined.

一旦野生动物趋进灭亡, 大自然的生态环境也将随之毁灭.

12 I’d rather trust a bunch of humans not to hunt a species to extinction than trust an LEP consultant, thought Mulch.

13 Though it will make survival possible for only a select portion of our population, unless we take extreme measures, we face the eventual extinction of the human race.

14 One theory is that they were hunted to extinction by humans.

一种理论是，它们是由于人类的猎杀而灭绝的。

15 And why does extinction run in families and groups, as if bad genes may be responsible?

为什么灭绝发生在同一族群, 仿佛是劣质基因的责任?

16 What chance, if any, existed at that propitious moment to put slavery on the road to extinction?

17 Researchers had previously noted the temporal coincidence between the paleo-Indians’ arrival and the mass extinction, but they didn’t believe that small bands of hunters could wreak such ecological havoc.

18 This period of extinction wasn't comprehensive.

这一时期的灭绝并不彻底。

19 “But our numbers are not a fraction of what they were. We have fallen into near extinction. Do any of you know what became of the peculiar animals that once roamed the world?”

20 By now it's a truism that we live at a time of almost unparalleled species extinction.

目前的事实是,我们生活在一个几乎前所未有的物种灭绝年代.
