<description><![CDATA[&quot;In the quest for alternative energy, there's a source many may have overlooked. Not Narberth resident Bill McHugh, though. He's been exploring it ever since he built and moved into his Sabine Avenue home 46 years ago. You could call it &quot;squirrel power.&quot;&quot;<br/><br/>11 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;When Oscar the cat lost both his hind paws in a farming accident, it was feared he'd have to trundle around in one of those wheeled-cat apparatuses. But Noel Fitzpatrick, a neuro-orthopedic veterinary surgeon in Surrey, pioneered a groundbreaking technique instead, installing weight-bearing bone implants to create a bionic kitty.&quot;<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;Mice make dramatic faces when they're in pain, and now their expressions have been cataloged scientifically on a &quot;mouse grimace scale&quot; (pictured below). A paper published in Nature Methods yesterday explains the ways researchers hurt mice, and why.Just to be clear, the reason why this group of researchers studied mouse pain is not to get their jollies. Mice are often used in studies of pain management and pain relief, which means researchers need to be able to recognize what mice look like when they hurt - and when they don't. Unfortunately, that means hurting mice to create this un<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;Young has been researching the albatrosses on Oahu since 2003; the colony was the focus of her doctoral dissertation at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, which she completed last spring. (She now works on conservation projects as a biologist for hire.) In the course of her doctoral work, Young and a colleague discovered, almost incidentally, that a third of the pairs at Kaena Point actually consisted of two female birds, not one male and one female. Laysan albatrosses are one of countless species in which the two sexes look basically identical. It turned out that many of the female-female pa<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;Reintroducing wolves into native habitats, researchers from the National Park Service write in the latest issue of BioScience, can help restore damaged ecosystems. Doing so in national parks and other areas, they say, would foster greater biodiversity and could even encourage tourism. But there is a caveat: The initial populations would have to be small and carefully managed, not self-sustaining.&quot;<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;'In 1959, Soviet scientist Dmitri Belyaev set out to breed a tamer fox that would be easier for their handlers in the Russian fur industry to work with. Much to the scientist's shock, changes no one had expected emerged after just 10 generations. The foxes began behaving playfully, were smaller in size, and even changed color - much like dogs.'  Belyaev died in 1985, but the experiment continued in his absence, and to this day provides strong evidence to parts of evolutionary theory. The experiment eventually branched out to involve other species as well (rats).&quot;<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Reposted from Wikifur:&quot;After two years since it first began asking for participants, The Furry Sociological Survey was published online on October 23rd, 2008. The study was based one of the earliest surveys of the furry community: The Sociology of Furry Fandom by David Rust, which was published online in 2001. Rust's survey is arguably one of the most known and referenced study of the furry community.&quot;You can compare this to earlier fandom-wide surveys:http://www.klisoura.com/furrypoll.phphttp://studyf3.livejournal.com/1383.html<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>
