Animal Behavior Studies Save Endangered Species Armed with this information, the National Zoo began leaving younger marmosets with their parents until an appropriate age. The result? The number of golden marmosets in captivity has grown from 69 in 1972 to over 100 worldwide. Most of these new additions were born at the National Zoo. The work on golden marmosest also taught researchers another invaluable lesson. “Behavioral and social studies of animals are absolutely necessary for breeding and raising rare and endangered animals successfully in captivity,’ Kleiman says. “Of course, we mustalso know ananimal’s diet and nutritional requirements, what diseases it gets and what kind of environmentit needs.

ST. LOUIS — There is a good chancethat may of the flowers andplants you'll see tigte holidays will be grown in greenhouses that are better at conserving heat than your own home. That's because greenhouse growers — like many American homeowners who have discovered energy savings from winterizing their homes — have found they can cut energy needsin half by winterizing their greenhouses. Greenhouse growers — even those who originally built with glass — have begun to take advantage of the insulating capacity of air-inflated double-layered polyethylenefilm, and report dramatic reductionsin the amount of heat normally required during the coldest months December to March.
