I can remember reading the article,but am unable to recall the
details
Essentially, comparative psych had been overrun by behaviorism, with the
result that the only animal we had any substantial amount of information
on was the white rat.
And while on the subject of Comparative,how did the Worm Runners
Digest
rank among the Comparative literature?
It was McConnell's personal project, and while it published some
important pieces, it was decidedly "alt."
Listen to my interview with Larry Stern about McConnell
(http://www.yorku.ca/christo/podcasts/ for Oct 23).
It seemed to me that most of the studies comparing and contrasting
species behavior were published in the British journal
Nature.Publishing in Nature was seen as the last resort when
American Publications would turn down articles.Publishing in
Nature was analagous to publishing in the Journal of Popular Culture.
I'm not sure where you got this idea. Nature is just about the most
prestigious scientific journal in the English language. It is the
British equivalent of /Science /(and older, to boot). Any scientist
worth his or her salt would rather have a publication in /Nature/ than
in ANY of the American psychology journals.

Chris
