Describes three experiments which investigated the behavior of "Colisa fasciata" males in full breeding condition subjected to competition for nest sites and a single female. Concludes that for these fish territorial dominance is established in a relatively short time, the period varying with the intensity of competition. (MLH)

Describes laboratory procedures for culturing drosophila and for observing their behavior. Outlines drosophila response to stimuli and explains the courtship sequence. (GS)

Describes animal behavior experiments that can be easily performed by secondary school students. The experiments illustrate territorial behavior, social order, and exploratory behavior in Mongolian gerbils. (JR)

Describes sources and housing of laboratory rats for use in investigating behavior. (LS)

Included is information regarding: student construction of Newton's Discs to demonstrate color and of paper helicopters to encourage inquiry; improvising an apparatus demonstrating pressure between two bubbles; animal behavior experiments involving woodlice; two experiments using electronics freezer spray; chromatography of dyes; leaf keys; an…

Discusses topics to aid in understanding animal behavior, including the value of the biological approach to psychology, functional systems, optimality and fitness, universality of environmental effects on behavior, and evolution of social behavior. (DS)
