After many months of negotiations and planning, the ISN began a partnership with professional society managers, Panacea Associates (PA) of Tallahassee, Florida. PA is a small enterprise operated by Susan Lampman and Patricia Meredith, both of whom have had extensive experience in conference services, management of professional organizations, etc. PA has been managing the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS) for many years, and in that capacity they have earned a fine reputation for efficient and attentive service tailored to the needs of the organization. For a trial period of two years, most of the routine management operations of the ISN will be handled by PA. These services will be phased in over the next few months. For example, please notice that the membership form published in every issue of this Newsletter has changed. All completed membership forms, with payment as appropriate, should be mailed to the ISN at its new business address: International Society for Neuroethology, c/o Panacea Associates, 744 Duparc Circle, Tallahassee FL 32312, USA The ISN's new business phone/fax number is +001 (850) 894-3480, and its new business E-mail address is [email protected]. The URL of the ISN's Website will remain unchanged: www.neurobio.arizona.edu/isn/ I hope you have discovered by now that a searchable version of the ISN's Membership Directory is available at the Website. -

The body bees considerably accompanies variations in ambient temperature of an animal refers to the quantity of stored temperature, and the performance of most of its activity is thermal energy per unit of body mass. This energy can be largely affected by air temperature. When these individuals increased or decreased by thermolysis and thermogenesis are exposed to temperatures above or below the optimum processes, respectively (Silva 2000). In these processes are range for the species during its pupal stage, these, when they involved behavioral, autonomous and adaptive mechanisms survive, have morphological deficiencies, physiological or (Silva 2000). behavioral as adults.
