All those who care about proper nutrition must look at the developing science, which may suggest that diet should be customized: some may need to decrease their consumption of grains and increase their consumption of meat. Raising livestock is the best use of most pasture land, not growing crops. Brian O’Reilly Montclair, N.J.,

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’s all good advice from the point of view of doing better by animals.

But Mars’s character is less about being an eagle and more about the fact that he was stolen from his nest, raised in captivity, and now considers almost all of mankind – except Luna – to be his enemy. It was when Hélène says to Ned, “And when the stakes were the highest, you raised an eagle on your glove.”.

In the former, a female lays her fertilized egg in the nest of another species, in the hopes that her offspring will be raised by the unwitting hosts. In the latter, three or more adult individuals contribute to the raising of offspring. Science (New York, N.Y.), doi:10.1126/science.1240039. Somveille, M., Heinsohn, R.,

Between staying warm/cool, finding food, avoiding predators, migrating thousands of miles every year, finding mates, raising chicks and doing all this at the mercy of the elements, it makes sense that they have more brainpower than just simple instinct to run on. I believe in science. Science, for many years, has done no better.

My friend Vickie Henderson , who has some serious long-range vision, looked at the science behind Tennessee’s crane hunting proposal and found it badly wanting.

One strategy that varies among birds (and other animals) is the number of offspring. The species readily takes to nesting in small artificial boxes, and the scientists of PRBO Conservation Science have over 450 such boxes scattered across the island to monitor the species. So why do it?

Her writing is based on keen observation of animal and human behavior, and she likes to interweave solid natural history information with larger philosophical themes to challenge and inspire the reader. we allow limited (by season and bag limits) hunting on populations of game animals that can sustain it. I am inclined to believe so.

Birds, because they fly, don’t store fat without paying a huge cost, which might in turn make them more vulnerable to variations in both food supply and thermal stress than ground dwelling animals. Another question this raises has to do with migration itself. Did birds repeatedly evolve migration because they can? 2 PIERSMA, T.,

It is mostly a question of economics – raising just one is troublesome enough given the resources required to feed and educate the chick. Some examples of animal names working the other way around – with the Latin name sounding naughty – can be found here. Fortunately, they are quite common in Shanghai.

This statement is mainly motivated by a recent conversation with someone who has a science degree (I think it's biology), but who actually works for a clinical testing company. One of the issues raised by a member was that we need to listen to "science" more and that science will save us. Are those hands good or evil?

As far as atheism goes, I'd rather my child have a healthy skepticism that is fact driven and science driven. My parents did their best to raise my sister and me. We were presented with animals to eat and wear. We were presented with animal bodies to celebrate over at holidays. Animal skin to wear on our feet.

I have written about the interesting sex life of these jacanas a few times already (short version: female mates with male, lays a bunch of eggs for him to incubate and raise the chicks, leaves him, finds another male, repeat). But it is all for science, I hear them say.
