Extinction and Genetic Diversity
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper considers the question of whether extinction is a necessary part of the survival of the species. The question of whether extinction of certain species will inherently reduce genetic diversity has been at the center of recent debates. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Factors Affecting Stomatal Opening
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page paper looks at the different factors that influence stomatal opening and how these factors are seen as a biochemical level. The paper outlines the environmental factors that create or inhibit the stomatal opening and then examines the role of guard cells and the way they may open and close the aperture and the way that the actions of the guard cells may be adjusted. The bibliography cites 7 sources.

Feeding response in crosses between geographical races of the garter snake, Thamnophis elegans: A Critique of the Article by Stevan J. Arnold
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of this article exploring the geographic variance of food preference. Arnold’s article represents one of just a few studies which have explored geographic variation from a behavioral standpoint. Arnold chose to investigate the slug-eating behavior which typifies garter snake populations in mollusk-rich environments, asserting that his study “represents the most thorough documentation of geographic variation in behavior in the vertebrate literature”. Arnold crosses individuals from inland and coastal populations of garter snakes to test the food preference of the first generation offspring. He concludes that there is no perfect intermediacy in regard to the feeding preferences tested. No additional sources are listed.

Firefly study
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that looks into the topic of firefly flashing and its purposes. The writer focuses on the species Photinus Pyralis, the most common firefly in the Eastern US, but also discusses general behavior for the species, hypothesizing that the female flash response increases with the male flash duration. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Fish Evolution: Agnathans (jawless fish) to Gnathostomes (jawed fish)
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the evolutionary advancements which propelled fish from their primitive jawless forms to the more advanced jawed forms. Distinguishes between the lamphreys and hagfish and identifies the hagfish as the most primitive vertebrate known to have ever lived. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Food Colorings
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the use, origins and controversy of food color additives. The visual appeal of attractive food is too well established to believe that the FDA will make any real effort to remove food coloring agents from its list of approved additives. The product class can be expected to continue to be important, particularly in prepared foods. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Genetic Diversity and the Origin of Life
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page overview of three theories on the origin of life, the extraterrestrial theory, the heteroph theory and the autotroph theory. This paper explains how natural mechanisms such as mutations, sexual reproduction, and even such aspects of the natural behavior of various species as migration and population size work to maintain genetic diversity. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
