Bird communication is a complex and evolving science. Knowing that female birds sing presents a challenge to signaling theory, in which it’s assumed that male songbirds send the signal and female songbirds receive it.

Kitten Rescue is a wonderful animal rescue organization! Founded in 1997, it has become one of the largest animal rescue groups in Los Angeles.

Steve Best's verbal presentation of his ideas sometimes irks me. But " Minding the Animals: Ethology and the Obsolescence of Left Humanism " is a great look back at how we humans have managed to always find a way to consider ourselves unique, despite what the reality of the nonhuman world tells us.

Although fossil feathers do not retain the coloration that would have been visible in life, a microscopic examination of the size, shape, and distribution of melanosomes (and other aspects of the feathers) allows us to infer what the extinct animal would have looked like while still alive.

If we judge this moral elite by its adherence to something like the Golden Rule of the New Testament, there is not all that much room for its improvement, except, as I suggested earlier, for the extension of our moral sympathies to nonhuman animals. I eat eggs though they may come from battery hens.

Moreover, we are prone to extrapolate; extrapolation was always intrinsic to induction, that primitive propensity that is at the root of all science. Extrapolation in science, however, is under the welcome restraint of stubborn fact: failures of prediction. We recognize no present unactualized possibilities.

To the Editor: Re “ Animal, Vegetable, Miserable ,” by Gary Steiner (Op-Ed, Nov. In fact, a whole lot of semi-vegans can do much more for animals than the tiny number of people who are willing to give up all animal products and scrupulously read labels.

It turns out that there are new things that can be learned about extinct birds, and that even if the conclusion is obvious–the bird is gone, there is no time machine and we can’t change that–the way in which it is presented can differ as well. “Winter Sports in Northern Louisiana: Shooting Wild Pigeons.”

And if you look into it enough, it presents a classic case where science can fail us. I believe in science. Science is based on logic and evidence, which I think is a very respectable way to look at the world. But what many people fail to realize, and too often scientists themselves, is that science is elastic.
