Welcome to my Annotated Bibliography page. Here you will find a compilation of just a few of the annotated sources I used throughout Writing 39C. My research starts with my HCP where I have annotated sources on scientific studies about animal intelligence, killer whale social structure, and killer whale call types. Then I have three sections of sources for my AP which include scientific sources, define the problem sources, and lastly, solution sources. These three sources are a mixture of scientific studies, scholarly articles, and scientific reviews.

Colin's research focuses mainly in in the general area of philosophy of biology and cognitive science, with particular interests in animal behavior and cognition. Marc Bekoff is a former Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado. Bekoff's main area of research includes animal behavior, cognitive ethology, behavioral ecology, and compassionate conservation, and he has also published extensively on human-animal interactions and animal protection. In this scholarly article, Allen and Bekoff explain the origins of cognitive ethology and the controversy behind this topic. The goal of the article is to show ethicists a better understanding of animal minds for when they are communicating with scientists.

Peter Carruthers is a member of the organizing committee for the University of Maryland Cognitive Science Colloquium. Carruthers' primary research interests are in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, and cognitive science. He was worked specifically on theories of consciousness, knowledge of our own propositional attitudes, the role of natural language in human cognition, and modularity of mind. In this text, Carruthers explains that the divide between a conscious human and unconscious non-human is mistaken.
