Brood Parasitism Among the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus): Genetic or Behavioral?
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page literature review of brood parasitism among the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). Explores the concept of whether genetic makeup determines host preference or if this phenomena is really a result of the mature bird seeking out habitat in which it was raised and consequently encountering more nests of a specific species in that habitat than would be present in others (i.e. natal philopatry). Includes a 1 page Roman numeral outline. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Canine Oral Spirochetes
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of canine oral spirochetes, concentrating on Treponema denticola, Treponemapectinovorum, and Treponema maltophilum. Notes that although oral microflora cannot be held solely responsible for the presence or absence of periodontal disease and associated conditions, thesemicroflora do manifest differently in healthy verses diseased tissue. This observation is true both in the species which are present and in what concentrations they are present. Suggests laboratory methodologyfor qualifying and quantifying their presence, as well as linking thatpresence to periodontal disease. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Copyright And Genome Databases
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. The antagonistic issue of ownership is one that transcends virtually all boundaries of what might otherwise be considered a civilized society. From ancient Rome to contemporary times, the fight for lawful claim upon a certain entity has always been ensnared within the confines of man's contempt for fair distribution of any given commodity. The concern over the absence of any copyright protection laws for human genomics databases is but one of myriad issues surrounding the entire precarious research program; with sensitive and pertinent information being discovered in relation to human genomics research, and the fact that anyone is fully capable of securing that information without prior permission by only slightly modifying the existing database, original creators and critics are up in arms about the unethical and inequitable nature of such unprotected actions, a bone of contention that has existed in various forms for hundreds of years. Bibliography lists 30 sources.
