Scientists are searching dirt in the Palouse region of Washington and Idaho hoping to find more specimens of the giant Palouse earthworm, which is rarely seen. Researchers are using methods like digging, irritating worms with vinegar and mustard, and delivering electric shocks to try and find living worms. While the worm was once common, massive agricultural development destroyed much of its habitat. Conservation groups want the worm protected as an endangered species, but the government needs more scientific data before making that designation. Farmers are concerned an endangered listing could restrict farming activities in the region.

Jane Goodall is an English primatologist and anthropologist known for her 60-year study of chimpanzees in Tanzania. She began observing chimpanzees in 1960 in Gombe Stream National Park and made several important discoveries, including that chimpanzees make and use tools, eat meat, and wage war. Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to promote conservation of chimpanzees and their habitats. She has received many honors for her work, including the Medal of Freedom from President Obama in 2010.

Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934 and has devoted most of her life to studying chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. Her research revealed that chimpanzees display affectionate behaviors like hugging and kissing to bond, and that they are omnivorous and sometimes practice cannibalism. These findings changed the understanding of animal intelligence and behavior. Over her career, Goodall has received many honors for her scientific work and rehabilitation of chimpanzees, including a Ph.D. from Cambridge University.

The document discusses the evolution and characteristics of panda bears. It notes that pandas have evolved separately from other bears for over 3 million years. Due to food shortages, pandas became almost entirely dependent on bamboo. They are generally solitary, except when females care for cubs. Pandas do not hibernate and shelter in trees and caves rather than dens. The document also contains unrelated sections about crayons and fonts.

Tigers

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose. It occurs in chloroplasts in plant leaves. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which captures light energy and drives the photosynthetic process. Photosynthesis splits water molecules to produce oxygen gas and electrons that are used to reduce carbon dioxide into sugars. It is a redox process consisting of two stages - the light-dependent reactions where ATP and NADPH are produced, and the Calvin cycle where sugars are assembled from carbon dioxide.

ART CART Artists

ARTCART

Art Cart is an intergenerational arts legacy project that will connect aging professional artists with teams of graduate students to undertake the preparation and documentation of their creative work, offering both groups an educational experience that will help shape the future of our cultural legacy. The RCAC's recent study, Above Ground: Information on Artists III: Special Focus New York City Aging Artists, revealed that artists are in many respects a model for society, maintaining strong social networks and an astonishing resilience as they age. Yet 61% of professional visual artists age 62+ have made no preparation for their work after their death; 95% have not archived their work; 97% have no estate plan; 3 out of every 4 artists have no will and 1 in 5 have no documentation of their work at all.

This study explored the furry identity by surveying 217 furries, 29 non-furries attending a furry convention, and 68 college students. The study aimed to test the furry stereotype which portrays furries as predominantly male, enjoying science fiction and cartoons, and identifying with animals like wolves and foxes. It also examined whether furries see themselves as less than 100% human and whether they exhibit traits of mental health issues like gender identity disorder. Dragons and canine/feline species were commonly reported as alternate identities. One-quarter of furries saw themselves as distorted and unattained in their species identity, paralleling some characteristics of gender identity disorder. Further research is needed on the proposed

Rifkin, A Change of Heart about Animals”They are more like us t.docx

malbert5

Rifkin, “A Change of Heart about Animals” They are more like us than we imagined, scientists are finding Jeremy Rifkin, Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2003. Rifkin is an American economist whose work explores the way science and technological change influence the economy, jobs, culture, and the environment. In a 1989 interview published in Time Magazine, Rifkin argues against some technologies, claiming that in America,[w]e’re so skewed toward efficiency that we’ve lost our sense of humanity. What we need to do is to bring back a sense of the sacred.” [1] Though much of big science has centered on breakthroughs in biotechnology, nanotechnology and more esoteric questions like the age of our universe, a quieter story has been unfolding behind the scenes in laboratories around the world — one whose effect on human perception and our understanding of life is likely to be profound. [2] What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined. They feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love — and these findings are changing how we view animals. [3] Strangely enough, some of the research sponsors are fast food purveyors, such as McDonald's, Burger King and KFC. Pressured by animal rights activists and by growing public support for the humane treatment of animals, these companies have financed research into, among other things, the emotional, mental and behavioral states of our fellow creatures. [4] Studies on pigs' social behavior funded by McDonald's at Purdue University, for example, have found that they crave affection and are easily depressed if isolated or denied playtime with each other. The lack of mental and physical stimuli can result in deterioration of health. [5] The European Union has taken such studies to heart and outlawed the use of isolating pig stalls by 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact each day and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting. [6] Other funding sources have fueled the growing field of study into animal emotions and cognitive abilities. [7] Researchers were stunned recently by findings (published in the journal Science) on the conceptual abilities of New Caledonian crows. In controlled experiments, scientists at Oxford University reported that two birds named Betty and Abel were given a choice between using two tools, one a straight wire, the other a hooked wire, to snag a piece of meat from inside a tube. Both chose the hooked wire. Abel, the more dominant male, then stole Betty's hook, leaving her with only a straight wire. Betty then used her beak to wedge the straight wire in a crack and bent it with her beak to produce a hook. She then snagged the food from inside the tube. Researchers repeated the experiment and she fashioned a hook out of the wire nine of out of 10 times. [8] Equally impressive is Koko, the 300-p.

The document summarizes research on the growth and development of chimpanzees. It discusses how chimpanzees learn necessary survival skills through social and cultural contexts, passing traits from mother to offspring. Chimpanzees demonstrate tool use behaviors like nut cracking which are transferred culturally between communities over generations. One study showed chimpanzees in one community learning to crack a new type of nut from an adult who had experience with that nut in a different community, providing evidence of cultural transmission between groups.
