- Tool-wielding chimps provide a glimpse of early human behavior
11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Chimpanzees inhabiting a harsh savanna environment and using bark and stick tools to exploit an underground food resource are giving scientists new insights to the behaviors of the earliest hominids who, millions of years ago, left the African forests to range the same kinds of environments and possibly utilize the same foods.

- 454 Sequencing uncovers a genetic basis for different social behaviors in wasp
09-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
The presence of workers that forgo reproduction and care for their siblings is a defining feature of eusociality and a major challenge for evolutionary theory. It has been proposed that worker behavior evolved from maternal care behavior. The researchers explored this idea by studying gene expression in wasps. Gene expression in workers was more similar to foundresses, which show maternal care, than to queens and gynes.

- Early academic skills, not behavior, best predict school success
11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
An educational study unprecedented in scope finds children who start school with elementary math and reading skills are the most likely to have later academic success -- whether or not they have social or emotional problems. While surprising, the seeming lack of association between social and emotional behaviors and future academic success held as true for boys as for girls and as true for children from affluent as for children from less affluent families.

- Spiteful soldiers and sex ratio conflict among parasitoid wasps
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
If sterile larvae are used by each sex to wage war against the other sex, then it should be primarily females who are interested in killing their brothers. This work explains the often strongly skewed sex ratios in these wasps, where females outnumber males, due to sex differences in killing behavior. More generally, it reveals how Darwinism can be used to explore the function of puzzling animal behaviors.

- Efforts for whites to appear colorblind may backfire
12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!
New research shows that whites often avoid using race to describe other people, particularly in interactions with blacks. However further research reveals that such efforts to appear colorblind and unprejudiced are associated with less-friendly nonverbal behaviors. "By their nonverbal behavior alone, the whites who are trying to appear colorblind to impress their black partners ironically come across as distant and unfriendly," said Samuel R. Sommers, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University.

- Sex on the brain
05-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
New evidence on sex differences in people's brains and behaviors emerges with the publication of results from the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) Sex ID Internet Survey. Survey questions and tests focused on participants' sex-linked cognitive abilities, personality traits, interests, sexual attitudes and behavior, as well as physical traits. The Archives of Sexual Behavior№ has devoted a special section in its April 2007 issue to research papers based on the BBC data.

- Nanoscale imaging reveals unexpected behaviors in high-temperature superconductors
05-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Recent discoveries regarding the physics of ceramic superconductors may help improve scientists' understanding of resistance-free electrical power. Tiny, isolated patches of superconductivity exist within these substances at higher temperatures than previously were known, according to a paper by Princeton scientists, who have developed new techniques to image superconducting behavior at the nanoscale.
