Wild thing Animal behaviourists have started studying other
animal behaviourists! At a recent conference in Massachusetts, USA,
researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory watched 42
presentations and examined how the presenters ‘doodled’
shapes with laser pointers. They found that bird behaviourists used
4 kinds of different doodles, scientists studying other vertebrates
used 2.3 kinds of doodles and scientists studying invertebrates
used only 1.5 different kinds of shapes during their
talks. 7 SEPTEMBER 2000
