Item #1: An extensive review of fossil evidence finds that when North and South America became connected by a land bridge, migrations of mammals occurred in both directions, but South American species experienced a much higher extinction rate.[7]
Item #2: A study of nursing home residents finds that tuned lighting (brighter hallway lighting during the day and dimmer at night) resulted in a halving of nighttime sleep disturbance events over traditional static lighting.[8]
Item #3: A new study finds that dog brains have a similar response to faces as do humans and other primates.[9]
