123. Phylogeny And Comparative Biology Of Wrens Summarizes the phylogeny of these birds, discusses the evolution of their social and vocal behavior, and provides photos. Includes related links. http://www.tc.umn.edu/~barke042/Wren.html

A Brief Guide to Wren Relationships Why are the phylogenetic relationships among wrens of interest? Many species of wrens exhibit a social system termed cooperative breeding, in which offspring remain with their parents for one or more breeding seasons after reaching sexual maturity, often helping to feed and care for their new siblings. The evolutionary origins and selective pressures maintaining (or constraining) this behavior remain an area of controversy and active research. One way of getting at the factors which might be important is to look at multiple, independently-derived cases of cooperative breeding, to seek common underlying ecological, behavioral, and demographic correlates. At least three genera of wrens ( Campylorhynchus Cinnycerthia , and Cyphorhinus ; follow this link for a summary of evidence for cooperative breeding in wrens) show good evidence for the occurrence of cooperative breeding in one or more species, but relationships among these genera were unknown. Another species, the black-capped donacobius ( Donacobius atricapillus ) of Central and South America, is also a cooperative breeder, and was recently reclassified as wren. Thus, wrens could represent as many as four origins of cooperative breeding (and thus four independent chances to test potential correlates), or as few as one, depending on their interrelationships.

The founding Indenture of Duke University directed the members of the university to "develop our resources, increase our wisdom and promote human happiness." To these ends, the mission of the Duke University Primate Center is to promote research and understanding of prosimians and their natural habitat as a means of advancing the frontiers of knowledge, to contribute to the educational development of future leaders in international scholarship and conservation and to enhance the human condition by stimulating intellectual growth and sustaining global biodiversity. Lesser bushbaby Galago moholi Adopt a Lemur When you decide to adopt a lemur, you will be providing support in the name of a featured member of any of the species of lemurs we have here at the Primate Center. Each year one animal from each species will be highlighted. For example, if you wish to adopt a ringtail lemur you will receive information on the ringtail species in general as well as a life history of the highlighted individual. All adopted animals remain in the care and custody of the Duke University Primate Center and no ownership rights are granted through adoption.

The ecology and evolutionary biology faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln began a initiative (IEEA) in 1999 to foster research and graduate education in both basic and applied ecology, evolution, and behavior. The UNL faculty in these areas constitute one of the strongest research groups on campus, with faculty from biological sciences, natural resource sciences, geosciences, agronomy, the State Museum, plant pathology, entomology, psychology, and anthropology. The goal has been to develop stronger linkages between applied and basic scientists across academic units into an integrated, highly competitive program.

A Marquesas Island lorikeet moves through the forest canopy. Steve Jordan, photo) Ecology and Evolution at B u cknell In recent years, the Bucknell University Department of Biology has established a dynamic group of professors and postdoctoral researchers with teaching and research interests in ecology, evolution, botany, behavior, conservation, and other aspects of organismal biology. This is a young group of professors, with internationally recognized research programs spanning a wide range of ecological, behavioral, and evolutionary questions. Particular strengths include botany, vertebrate and invertebrate behavior, aquatic ecology, plant/animal interactions, systematics, and entomology. Some of our field sites shown in red. Each of these professors is a teacher/scholar with active research projects involving undergraduate and possibly masters-level students. The geographical and intellectual breadth of these research programs is impressive, ranging from studies on the effects of acid mine drainage in Pennsylvania streams to the mating system of frigate birds on northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

Talk.Origins Archive: Exploring The Creation/Evolution Controversy Archives and FAQs from Usenet newsgroup devoted to the discussion and debate of creation, evolution, and related topics on the origin of life, geology, biology, catastrophism, cosmology and theology. http://www.talkorigins.org/

In warm memory of Tero Sand and Bob Schadewald Talk.origins is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to the discussion and debate of biological and physical origins. Most discussions in the newsgroup center on the creation/evolution controversy, but other topics of discussion include the origin of life, geology, biology, catastrophism, cosmology and theology. The Talk.Origins Archive is a collection of articles and essays, most of which have appeared in talk.origins at one time or another. The primary reason for this archive's existence is to provide mainstream scientific responses to the many frequently asked questions ( FAQ s) that appear in the talk.origins newsgroup and the frequently rebutted assertions of those advocating intelligent design or other creationist pseudosciences.

Young 'Evolution, Biology and Psychology from a Marxist Point of View' I was asked to contribute this chapter to a volume to be entitle Psychology and Marxism: Coexistence and Contradiction , edited by Ian Parker and Russell Spears, to be published by Pluto Press. It transpired that they could not get an American co-publisher if 'Marxism' was in the title, so the final title was a rather insipid one: Psychology and Society: Radical Theory and Practice (1996, pp. 35-49). In preparing the essay I found myself re-reading writings (some of them by me) which re-evoked the convictions which drew so many of us to libertarian marxism. Now that there is no place, party or subculture which identifies itself with any version of marxism to which we could adhere, we are believers without a locus and largely without practices which feel congruent with these beliefs.

Introduction to Evolutionary Biology Version 2 Chris Colby [Last Update: January 7, 1996] volution is the cornerstone of modern biology. It unites all the fields of biology under one theoretical umbrella. It is not a difficult concept, but very few people the majority of biologists included have a satisfactory grasp of it. One common mistake is believing that species can be arranged on an evolutionary ladder from bacteria through "lower" animals, to "higher" animals and, finally, up to man. Mistakes permeate popular science expositions of evolutionary biology. Mistakes even filter into biology journals and texts. For example, Lodish, et. al., in their cell biology text, proclaim, "It was Charles Darwin's great insight that organisms are all related in a great chain of being..." In fact, the idea of a great chain of being, which traces to Linnaeus, was overturned by Darwin's idea of common descent. Misunderstandings about evolution are damaging to the study of evolution and biology as a whole. People who have a general interest in science are likely to dismiss evolution as a soft science after absorbing the pop science nonsense that abounds. The impression of it being a soft science is reinforced when biologists in unrelated fields speculate publicly about evolution. This is a brief introduction to evolutionary biology. I attempt to explain basics of the theory of evolution and correct many of the misconceptions.
