Olfaction use in avian species Odors are broadly used for individual, sexual and species recognition in vertebrates and may be reliable signals of quality and compatibility when selecting mates. Yet, chemical signals in birds have rarely been investigated. In fact, birds exhibit a wide array of communication mechanisms, such as colors and songs, but rarely display obvious olfactory-driven behaviors. This discrepancy seen in the amount of information regarding olfactory use is due to the belief

Rhetoric in the Digital Age: Memetics and Truth Shelby Stepp University of Maryland CLASSICAL RHETORIC In an ideal society, the art of rhetoric - the utilization of effective argumentation and persuasion through communication - is an important tool that makes use of language in order to participate in valuable discourse. The study of rhetoric elevates the influence you have on others, shields you from intellectual despotism and vastly enhances the power we possess

The effects of age-specific breeding and matriarch presence on elephant reproduction Introduction Although Robinson et al. was not able to determine the overall the long-term effects of early-life reproduction, they provided results that show the immediate effects of age-specific reproduction. The impact of reproduction on younger females is an important part of elephant survival, however, it is the impact of reproduction over time that provides understanding of the future of elephant populations

environmental stimuli. Some common behavioral differences between genders (e.g., regarding aggression) also appear to have a genetic basis, as does sexual orientation. See also behaviour genetics; Homo sapiens; personality; philosophical anthropology; sociobiology human nature includes the core

Pollination Report By – Eduardo Sifuentes Jr March 11, 2016 Introduction: About 13 years ago an animated (in my opinion stupid) movie called Bee Movie came out. Put simply, the movie is about a bee, voiced by Jerry Seinfeld, who can’t figure out his role in his hive, and through a ridiculous set of circumstances sets off a chain reaction were bees no longer have to pollinate. In the final act of the movie all the flowers of the world begin to die off, and in a last ditch effort to “save the world”

behavior is normally associated with deviance, which is the violation of norms (Henslin, 2017). The factors which influence the criminal behavior is often debated by researchers, whether they are acquired or inborn. Specifically, scientists who study sociobiology believe that genetic predispositions lead people to engage in deviant or criminal acts (Henslin, 2017). As the study of genetics advance, more biological explanations are utilized to illustrate the variety of crime by race, sex, age, and social

By the year 2050, the human population will reach 9.0 billion (United Nations 1). According to a professor of sociobiology at Harvard University, Edward O. Wilson, this is a number that humans do not want to reach. Dr. Wilson, along with many other accredited scientists, estimate that the Earth’s maximum carrying capacity is somewhere between 9 and 10 billion people

1. Once you have identified supporting claims, the "grounds" of an argument, then you need to be able to evaluate the evidence that will be used to prove these claims. Evidence is the most important part of any inductive argument. But it is important to recognize that not all evidence is reliable. Some types of evidence can 't be trusted at all. And even when good evidence is used, it might not be appropriate for certain types of claims. Thus, evidence has to be both reliable and logically appropriate
