This is our operant chamber. We begin with magazine training in which our students take data on whether the fish approaches and eats the food when a light is turned on. Magazine training refers to the training of the conditioned reinforcer (the red light) and the primary reinforcer (food delivery).
We observed members of J-Pod in a sleeping pattern. Unlike humans, Orca whales are voluntary breathers and must consciously rise to the water's surface to breathe. When sleeping, they shut down half of their brain to allow them both rest and control their breathing. Sleeping as a pod, their movements become synchronized as they submerge for long periods of time and periodically surface for air.

While I was waiting for my friend Adriana N to come out of the bathroom, my mind was quickly taken by these two zebras who seemed to be going through what I would call "mating behavior." I've honestly never seen anything like this. It was rather brilliant and fascinating!

Because Phoenix Pride tends to be tamer than parades at other cities, having your photo taken with guys in their underwear becomes an event in itself.

Interesting to note that in some flock configurations, the birds appear to also synchronize the beating of their wings. At dawn, over the ocean at Nazaré. See Flocking behavior for more info.
Behavior Study 1: this young Herring Gull repeated dropped and retrieved a stick in the water. Was it "play", skill training, or a mix of both?
Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

The male killdeer is seen perched on top of the female killdeer in order to appear as one large bird. The behavior is seldom witnessed and even more rarely photographed.
