It appears that there is a significant relationship between cognitive ability and social status, at least for birds. Boogert, Reader, and Laland (2006) measured social status and individual learning ability for a group of starlings. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in th

New Sellwood Bridge? Consider the issue of replacing the Sellwood Bridge in Portland, Oregon. The existing bridge has a free-fl ow capacity of 600 vehicles, and the private trip cost at this traffi c volume is $2. Given the equilibrium volume of 1,000 vehicles per hour, the private trip cost is $3. T
