Zatoichi1337. Why some wasps are good with faces – and others aren't - life - 01 December 2011. You don't want to mess with Ms Big, so it's useful if you recognise her when you see her.
So useful that even wasps can do it. Despite having a brain less than a millionth the size of ours, queen paper wasps (Polistes fuscatus) can recognise each other's faces . Michael Sheehan and Elizabeth Tibbetts, both at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, think they know why. They suspected the wasps developed the skill to keep their home in harmony.

The Mail: Re: The Truth Wears Off. One development that Lehrer does not discuss, and that we believe has the potential to exacerbate the “decline effect,” is the trend toward the publication of brief reports in mainstream psychology journals.
Traditionally, an article in experimental psychology consisted of at least three experiments, the first demonstrating an important finding, and the others replicating it and establishing its boundary conditions. Today, there is a move away from such articles and toward one-experiment papers reporting a single unexpected result. Short reports demand less time of authors, reviewers, and readers, but an undesirable consequence is that findings are less likely to be replicated even by the investigators who first publish them.
This increases the likelihood that a result initially received as exciting and novel will turn out to be nothing but a fluke. Fernanda Ferreira Editor, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General John M. Ancient Species Show Their Resilience, Highlight Need For Conservation (PHOTOS) From Dr.
Piotr Naskrecki: What would you rather save from extinction: 3 different species of parrots, or a hummingbird, an owl, and a parrot? With an increasing frequency, such heartbreaking choices are becoming the reality of nature conservation. Given their limited resources, and the even more limited attention span of politicians and governments, conservation biologists face the need to select targets of their conservation campaigns very carefully. Traditionally, conservation actions have focused on areas that sheltered the highest numbers of species.
The Eyelab at Michigan State University. Adobe fights back with Flash 11. Long gone are the days when Adobe Systems could take its Flash Player's position on the Web for granted.
But Adobe, to counter a strong combination of opposition and alternatives to the browser plug-in, plans to ship Flash Player 11 in two weeks. The debut at its Max developer conference early next month is geared to send a message to programmers: Flash is still relevant, and Adobe is still investing in it. Flash 11's highlight, an interface called Molehill for hardware-accelerated 3D and 2D graphics, won't change the minds of those who would like to see Flash fade from the Web, nor will it reverse Apple and Microsoft's Flash opposition. But it is a powerful new feature for games, and games are one of the Flash strongholds Adobe is seeking to defend. "WIth direct access to the GPU [graphics processing unit], you'll see a thousand times faster rendering over prior versions of Flash," said Danny Winokur, Adobe's platform general manager.
