Social Biology Of Wolves : A 25 page research paper on
wolves, their social biology, etc; The writer discusses
various types of wolves, how they travel in packs, survive
as predators, and so froth. Canis Lupis (Common wolf),
gray wolves, and red wolves are among the many types
discussed. The writer is also concerned with the
evolutionary biology of wolves and other relevant issues.
Bibliography lists 9 sources. Wolves.wps

Zebra Mussels / Biological & Ecological Issues : This 7
page research paper describes the arrival of zebra mussels
on the North American continent as well as some projected
figures for their spread. The writer describes the biology of
these small, inedible shell fish and then explains some of the
negative effects they can have on aquatic systems. Since
phytoplankton and detritus consumed by tiny animals called
zooplankton which in turn are eaten by small fish and these
small fish by larger fish, biologists seem concerned that
zebra mussels' tendency to eat the same items could damage
established food chains by removing needed energy from its
bottom level. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Zebramus.wps

The Bernese Mountain Dog : A 5 page discussion of the
breed of dog known as the Bernese Mountain dog. This dog
is a fairly large dog which requires some special
knowledge, as is often the case with any pure bred dog. In
illustrating some of the facts regarding this breed, we
implement a hypothetical interview with a man named
Kleiman, who has a special fondness for this breed.

Evolution / Plant & Animal : A 5 page overview of the
evolution of plants and animals. Compares and contrasts the
evolutionary paths of the first plant and the first animal and
traces those paths back to the primordial soup from which
that very first organism emerged. Discusses differences in
anaerobic and aerobic organisms and details the evolution of
mitochondria and chloroplasts. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Mesozoic Evolution of Mammals : A 7 page overview of
the differing morphological characteristics which arose
during the Mesozoic Era and separated the mammals from
their predecessors the reptiles. Discusses differences in the
inner ear, the jaw, and the brain and provides possible
reasons for the divergent evolutionary paths. Bibliography
lists 10 sources. Evolmeso.wps

Mammalian Reproductive Systems/ Phylogenetic &
Ontogenetic Development : An 8 page paper discussing
the concept of ontogeny in relation to the human reproductive
system. Dispells the belief propagated in the ninetenth
century that the embryonic stages of development are an
exact mirror of the evolutionary history of an organism.
Bibliography lists seven sources. Mammal.wps

Insects As Intelligent Animals With The Ability to Learn :
A 10 page paper describing the intelligence and learning
capabilities of insects. Emphasis is put on social insects.
Studies are described that support the statements of an
insect’s abilities. The main insect in focus is the ant as it is
the most thoroughly studied. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Retrospective & Perspective Memory In Rats : A 10 page
examination of the phenomena of memory and how it is
evidenced in rats. Emphasizes the role experimental design
can have on the results and conclusions of an experiment.

Gorillas Learning Sign Language / Is it Feasible? : A 6 page
paper on the possibility that gorillas can learn sign language
for communicating. Koko the gorilla is the main subject
behind the theory that gorillas can learn to sign. While other
primates have been studied the main subject of concern is
the gorilla. It is maintained that gorillas do learn and
comprehend sign language. A bibliography including 10
references follows. Gsigning.wps

Self-Recognition in Chimpanzees and Gorillas : A 10 page
comparative paper that discusses the differences relative to
self-recognition in chimpanzee and gorilla population.
Gallup, Povinelli and Patterson, as well as many other
prominent researchers, have recognized a marked difference
in the cognition of these two primate species in relation to
their abilities to self-recognize in the presence of mirror
images. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Chimps.wps
