Dobbing, John – Nutritio et Dieta, 1972
Discusses evidence for a permanent, measurable effect of early restriction on the physical growth of the brain, arguing that undernutrition has been considered for too long in adult terms as a series of deficiency diseases whose main consequences can be reversed on restoration of the deficient component. (Author/JM)

Spain, James D.; Soldan, Theodore – Pipeline, 1983
Describes two computer simulations of the predator-prey interaction in which students explore theories and mathematical equations involved in this biological process. The programs (for Apple II), designed for college level ecology, may be used in lecture/demonstrations or as a basis for laboratory assignments. A list of student objectives is…

Carpenter, Charles C. – American Biology Teacher, 1983
Discusses mechanisms and functional intent of visual communication signals in iguanid/agamid lizards. Demonstrated that lizards communicate with each other by using pushups and head nods and that each species does this in its own way, conveying different types of information. (JN)

Kandel, Eric R.; Schwartz, James H. – Science, 1982
Describes how a behavioral system in Aplysia (marine snail) can be used to examine mechanisms of several forms of learning at different levels of analysis: behavioral, cell-physiological, ultrastructural, and molecular. Focusing on short-term sensitization, suggests how molecular mechanisms can be extended to explain long-term memory and classical…

Herbert, M.; And Others – Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 1982
Critically reviews the concept of "bonding," exploring its empirical basis and the implications that follow from its application in practice. Among the conclusions reached are that there is a tendency to oversimplify attachment phenomena and that the notion of a sensitive period for attachment has no direct empirical support. (RH)

Malcolm, Paul – Journal of Biological Education, 1980
Describes a study using two genera of aquatic insects that demonstrates how nonlethal falls in oxygen concentration affect the rate of surfacing of bottom-feeding Coroxidae and how this affects their survival by increasing their proneness to attacks by surface-feeding Notonectidae. (CS)

Gennaro, Eugene D.; And Others – Science Education, 1980
Describes a five-week course in animal behavior for parents and their middle-school-aged children offered at the Minnesota Zoological Garden. Course activities included discussions, film viewing, demonstrations, zoo observations, and home studies of gerbils or zebra finches. Results of the course are discussed. (CS)
