Average size
of coastal limpets getting smaller, study shows
San Diego Union-Tribune, Apr. 3 –
Kaustuv Roy, a University of California,
San Diego associate professor of biology, with other
researchers and graduate students, is leading research into
the lives of limpets and snails, trying to pin down how the
creatures are doing compared to centuries past. In the March
issue of the scientific journal Ecology Letters, they report
that the average size of the coastal invertebrates is declining,
because the largest members of the species often fall victim
to human collectors.

Are Phasing Out Use of Dogs in Training Doctors
Newhouse News Service, Apr. 2 –
America's medical schools are phasing out the use of dogs in
classroom training as they trim costs, revise course requirements
and embrace more bloodless instructional methods like high-tech
manikins, plasticized organs, and other technologies that offer
effective teaching alternatives to animal use. According to
Dr. Lawrence A. Hansen, a neurosciences and
pathology professor at the University of California,
San Diego, pressure from animal rights groups has been
another factor for the change.
