Flying Fishes Glide or Fly In Mystery Studied
In Natural History and the New York Aquarium researchers J. T. Nichols and C. M. Breeder Jr. weigh whether flying fishes sustain flight by wing motion or by gliding. They find flight largely planning with occasional wing use, noting enlarged pectoral fins act as gliding planes and that size influences vibration and soaring. Observations from Beebe’s Arcturus expedition support wind-assisted liftoff to escape predators.

Hope for elk survives if care is studied
M. P. Skinner of Jamestown New York and field naturalist at the Roosevelt Wild Life Forest Experiment station in Syracuse spoke at the American Society of Mammalogists.
