Experiments and demonstrations are presented which have been used in a high school course on animal behavior. Animals used include spiders, fish, birds, and mammals. (BB)

Through the use of learned symbols, two chimpanzees accurately specified 11 foods by name to one another when the food item's identity was known by only one and requested specific food of one another by name. Requests resulted in cooperative and reciprocal symbolically mediated food exchange. (Author/MA)

Presents guidelines for the construction and maintenance of a life science culture center with mobile and stationary units. (CP)

Discusses recent incidences of mammal strandings and relates the hypotheses that have been made to explain such occurrences. (MA)

Radio tags to track wildlife have been used for years. However, such tagging of whales has been more complicated and less successful. This article explores the latest technology that is designed to give information over a long period of time. (MA)

This article examines the mechanisms of adaptation and acclimatization of animals to cold temperatures. The differences between the two processes are explained and terms are defined. Graphs and drawings illustrate the article. (MA)

An elementary analysis of a common textbook airplane problem is given, and then, as an illustrative example, the possibilities of this mechanism for animal navigation are briefly considered. (Author/MA)

These experiments are addressed specifically to the question of whether transituational transfer of immunizing and therapeutic effects will occur when these procedures involve responses and settings which are very different from those used in final testing. (Author/RK)

Papier-mache has traditionally been thought of as a quick, inexpensive and rough-finish type of activity for young children. At Lincoln Junior High, Wisconsin, papier-mache has evolved into a rather sophisticated form of sculpture. (Author/RK)

The case study examines the work of a coalition between certain women's groups in India and a nongovernmental charitable trust. The mission of the coalition is to empower Indian women, who generally possess neither land nor power, to care for their livestock. (CH)

Outlines the range of activities that a wildlife study of the coyote offers in biology, history, evolution, ecology, economics, and field work. Lists five sources of detailed information on coyotes. (NEC)

Discusses a single pattern formation mechanism that could underlie the wide variety of animal coat markings found in nature. Presents the results of a mathematical model for how these patterns may be generated in the course of embryonic development. (CW)

A discussion of the relationship of politics and the welfare of research animals looks at the nineteenth-century history of the issue, current activism in Europe, recent legislative and political action in the United States, and the position of the biomedical community, and provides guidelines for political action.

Describes a game involving spelling words about animals. Provides a sample of 59 sentences from which words could be used as their letters are held by individual students and they move to form the words. (TW)

Discusses use of computer simulation as an archeological tool for research and teaching involving the remains of prehistoric game animals to aid in understanding effects of various strategies of prehistoric hunters on populations of game animals. A simulation involving possible vicuna hunting strategies is described. (MBR)
