    Notes: Abstract Towards Justice and Peace is a splendid title for a symposium and book to honour Professor Sunderland. It is also a very difficult title for a biological anthropologist. I make the distinction from social anthropology with some apology. There are of course many subdisciplines and traditions within Anthropology and I most associate Professor Sunderland's support of my university and myself with our attempts to foster cross-disciplinary discussion, towards a “Biosocial Anthropology”, as it were. So, while for specialists in fossilization of bones, sequences of DNA molecules or analysis of urine, the title, Towards Justice and Peace might cause problems, I should like to discuss some biosocial anthropology on an international frontier, which, after centuries of military aggression and defence, is now a peaceful line on a map within the European Community.

    Notes: Abstract Welfare biology is the study of living things and their environment with respect to their welfare (defined as net happiness, or enjoyment minus suffering). Despite difficulties of ascertaining and measuring welfare and relevancy to normative issues, welfare biology is a positive science. Evolutionary economics and population dynamics are used to help answer basic questions in welfare biology: Which species are affective sentients capable of welfare? Do they enjoy positive or negative welfare? Can their welfare be dramatically increased? Under plausible axioms, all conscious species are plastic and all plastic species are conscious (and, with a stronger axiom, capable of welfare). More complex niches favour the evolution of more rational species. Evolutionary economics also supports the common-sense view that individual sentients failing to survive to mate suffer negative welfare. A kind of God-made (or evolution-created) fairness between species is also unexpectedly found. The contrast between growth maximization (as may be favoured by natural selection), average welfare, and total welfare maximization is discussed. It is shown that welfare could be increased without even sacrificing numbers (at equilibrium). Since the long-term reduction in animal suffering depends on scientific advances, strict restrictions on animal experimentation may be counter-productive to animal welfare.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Methode zur Langzeitmessung der lokomotorischen Aktivität vonBiomphalaria glabrata entwickelt. Eine mit einer Co57-Quelle markierte Schnecke bewegt sich in einer Kreisbahn. Unter dem Versuchsbehälter rotiert eine Bleischeibe mit Schlitz (1 Umdrehung/min) über einem Großflächenzählrohr. Einmal pro Minute fällt die emittierte Radioaktivität durch den Schlitz auf das Zählrohr. Über die Impulsabstände wird die Position und daraus die lokomotorische Aktivität der Schnecke bestimmt. Unter konstanten Bedingungen ergibt sich in den anschließenden Versuchen sowohl bei mitSchistosoma mansoni infizierten als auch bei nicht infizierten Versuchstieren eine periodische Verteilung der Laufaktivität über den Tag. Die Schnecken zeigen tagsüber mehr lokomotorische Aktivität als nachts — mit einem deutlichen Maximum in der zweiten Stunde nach Lichtbeginn. Fütterungsexperimente mit J125-Fibrinogen-markiertem Futter ergeben nachts dreimal höhere Freßaktivität als am Tage. Durch eigene Versuche kann bestätigt werden, daß auch die Eiablage beiB. glabrata bevorzugt nachts stattfindet. Die Ergebnisse werden mit anderen bereits bekannten periodischen Phänomenen beiB. glabrata in einer Phasenkarte zusammengefaßt.
    Notes: Abstract A method was developed to measure the locomotive activity ofBiomphalaria glabrata over long periods of time. A snail, radioactively marked with a Co57-source, moves on a circular path. Beneath the experimental vessel a lead disc with a slit revolves (one revolution per minute) over a counter tube. Once every minute the amount of radioactivity emitted falls through the slit onto the counter tube. The position and thence the locomotive activity of the snail is determined from the intervals between the impulses. Under constant conditions the experiments show a distribution of crawling activity over the whole day that is the same for animals infected withSchistosoma mansoni and non-infected molluscs. The snails have more locomotive activity by day than by night, with a distinct maximum in the second hour after exposure to light. Experiments using food marked with I125-labelled fibrinogen revealed that feeding activity is three times as high at night as by day. The experiments also show thatBiomphalaria glabrata tends to prefer night-time for egg laying. The results are compared with other known periodic phenomena inB. glabrata in a phase-chart.
