Creator Transcript
  • If the sex cycle is broken by loss of nest or eggs the new cycle will restart with the minimum or no amorous courtship. A [male symbol] may regularly copulate one female + regularly court another. In #2. Courtship is self stimulatory The more actively a bird courts the sooner the various sequences of love phases are passed through even with a sluggish partner. Mutual defence of a nest territory, mutual nest building + the existence of close contact with a nest raiding fight all act as stimulation to shortening the period between advertising + marriage. Thus it is total energy expended toward or together with the partner that is important. 3. From 5-6 weeks young cormorants develop a lot of sexual behaviour that is spontaneous + not directed - the vacuum phase - These gradually become a form of greeting between siblings - the bond expressing phase. Siblings who roost together continue this greeting + spend more + more time at home together. Those that are alone or lose their siblings cease coming home very early in their growth. Close contact with amorous greeting is essential. Sibling birds that roost 6 ft [feet] apart do not form or maintain pairs. A separation of 6 days results in failure to recognize a former sibling associate. _______ A very interesting display of living + dead foraminifera by [space left blank] of U. [university] of Col. [Colorado] Dept [Department] of Palaeontology. Moving discs that pass slowly under the microscope is an excellent idea. The protoplasmic streaming of the pseudopods of living Algromia laticollaris [underlined] was most obvious + interesting as also were the magnificent micro x ray photos of the internal structure of shells. There were some beautiful demonstrations of mitosis + meiosis with figures beautifully clear.
