band

In the evening this station changes frequency and broadcasts on another band.

Almost all hospitals use a wrist-band of some kind with your name and details on it.

Like a bracelet, segmented watch band, or a ring maybe.

The rapid colonization of such sites after disturbance is undoubtedly in part a reflection of the large seed band on the forest floor.

The proposed areas of the domestication of African crops lie in a band that extends from Ethiopia across southern Sudan to West Africa.

A bird has a band attached to its foot so we can learn about things like migration patterns.

Dinosaurs rapidly became extinct about 65 million years ago as part of a mass extinction known as the K-T event, because it is associated with a geological signature known as the K-T boundary, usually a thin band of sedimentation found in various parts of the world (K is the traditional abbreviation for the Cretaceous, derived from the German name Kreidezeit).

Now, visible light consists of different colors or wavelengths, which together make up what's called spectrum, a band of colors, like you see in a rainbow.

And then we place an extremely lightweight band on one of its legs, well, what looks like a leg, although technically it’s considered part of the bird’s foot.

The band is labeled with a tracking number, oh, and there is a phone number on the band for people to call for free, to report a banded bird they’ve found or recaptured.

You all know how when you take a crystal prism and pass a beam of sunlight through it, you get a spectrum, which looks like a continuous band of rainbow colors.

The light that we see with our human eyes as a band of rainbow color falls in a range of what’s called visible light.

There are no interruptions, just a band flowing from violet to green, to yellow, to… you get the idea.

Anyway, these bands are perfectly safe, and some humming birds have worn them for years with no evidence of any problems.

The band gave an electrifying performance.

"A band of old-time plantation darkies performing songs."

Oh, you see, I have joined this group, the University Jazz Band, and the band’s practice time is right around dinner time.

The rapid colonization of such sites after disturbance is undoubtedly in part a reflection of the large seed band on the forest floor.

A good research method, a good way to learn more, is by running a banding study.

Ah, you know what bird banding is right?

Banding the birds allows us to track them over their lifetime.

In fact, most of what we known about humming birds comes from banding studies, where we capture a humming bird and make sure all the information about it, like its weight and age and length, are all recorded and put into an international information database.
