The Bottle-Nosed Dolphin - A 4 PAGE PAPER about the lifespan and individual differences between bottle nose dolphins and other animals of the same species/kingdom etc. A well written paper and interesting, written with a true love for the animal! - " The Bottle-nosed Dolphin is the most studied and generally the best-known species of dolphin. Bottle-nosed dolphins are classified "Tursiops truncates" in scientific name, and belong to the family Delphinidae, in the suborder Odontoceti, order Cetacea. This animal is a very intelligent individual. Bottle-nosed dolphins are commonly found in zoos or marine parks because of their capability to perform tricks"

Communication Method of the Bottlenose Dolphin - A 7 PAGE PAPER WITH ALMOST A PAGE OF RESOURCES! A very thorough paper which describes the communication methods and extreme intelligence of the bottlenose dolphin. - "Bottlenose dolphins are among the most vocal of the nonhuman animals and exhibit remarkable development of the sound production and auditory mechanisms. This can be seen in audition, which is shown in the animal`s highly refined echolocation ability, and in tightly organized schools in which they live that are made up by sound communication. In testing the communication skills of dolphins, extensive studies have been done on vocal mimicry, in which the animal imitates computer-generated sounds in order to test motor control in terms of cognitive ability. Language comprehension on the other hand has been tested through labeling of objects, which has proven to be successful regarding the association of sound and object stimulus. "

Education and Evolution - A 4 PAGE 4 RESOURCE PAPER! Discussing th ehugely controversial debate of eductaion and the idea of evolution as opposed to the theory of creation! - "Throughout recent history creationists and evolutionists have argued whether evolution should be a part of America's public education. Whether evolution is science fact, or science fiction. Evolution being a science based on statistics has some faults, although many concepts in science or math do. The process of learning about evolution is a necessary part of a well-rounded student's education due to the fact that it is a statistically proven science and removing it in turn revokes certain student's rights. In a student's academic career that a student is most likely at one time or another going to have to take a science class. "

Dyslexia - An 11 page paper with a page of resources, written on the science of dyslexia as it affects individuals. - "Whether we graduate from highschool or college we all hope to find a challenging career that will propel us forward in today`s society. For those suffering from dyslexia this only adds to the frustration and fears associated with seeking employment. Many adults with dyslexia or other forms of learning disabilities never disclose their disability in interviews or once employed for fear of being discriminated against. "

The Wild Salmon - A 7 page paper with 3 resources. This paper discusses the history of migration among wild salmon. - "What species would travel over 2000 miles just to have young and then die? It has been said that anyone who has not seen a wild salmon has not seen what a fish should be. Salmon was the common name applied to fish characterized by an elongated body covered with small, rounded scales and a fleshy fin between the dorsal fin and tail. In this paper I will be discussing history of studying salmon, the life cycle, spawning and mating behaviors; which has much to do with the total reproduction of salmon. "

Wolf Predation - An 8 page paper with a page of resources written on the 4 proposed theories of wolf predation. - "The four proposed hypotheses examined are the predation limiting hypothesis, the predation regulating hypothesis, the predator pit hypothesis, and the stable limit cycle hypothesis. There is much research literature that discusses how these hypotheses can be used to interpret various data sets obtained from field studies. It was concluded that the predation limiting hypothesis fit most study cases, but that more research is necessary to account for multiple predator - multiple prey relationships."

Anthropology - A 4 page 3 resource paper on the interest of Eric Wolf in Anthropology. A well written informative paper. - "Transcending the Barriers "My primary interest is to explain something out there that impinges me, and I would sell my soul to the devil if I thought it would help." Eric Wolf, 1987. Eric Wolf's interest into the realm of anthropology emerged upon recognition of the theorist- imposed boundaries, encompassing both theories and subjects, which current and past anthropological scholars had constructed. These boundaries, Wolf believed, were a result of theorist tending to societies and cultures as fixed entities-static, bounded and autonomous, rather then describing and interpreting societies within a state of constant change, ceaselessly vulnerable to external influence, and always interconnected with other societies."

Mysticism - A 23 page paper with a page and a half of resources this well written paper explores the idea of non scientifically proven phenomena, also known as Mysticism. - "In this article I would like to bring the findings of my somewhat unusual but increasingly accepted field - mysticism- to the discussion, for I think they may offer some helpful insights about consciousness. Why? When a biologist seeks to understand a complex phenomenon, one key strategy is to look to at it in its simplest form. Probably the most famous is the humble bacterium E. coli. Its simple gene structure has allowed us to understand much of the gene functioning of complex species. Similarly many biologists have turned to the 'memory' of the simple sea slug to understand our own more kaleidoscopic memory."
