February 2005 Issue Dear Educators, we've heard comments from many of you about how you enjoy our emails. Some of you have had some great ideas and we've incorporated them into the redesign of this newsletter.  NEW RESOURCES BioBulletin: Species and Sprawl: A Road Runs Through It http://sciencebulletins.amnh.org/ As urban and suburban sprawl continue to spread across the country, road mortality has been found to be a major factor in the decline of turtle populations throughout the Northeast. Through online essays, videos, and interactives, this BioBulletin story explores how researchers are radio-tracking wood turtles to better quantify their movement patterns and habitat needs in hopes of informing future development.  COMING SOON Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/dinosalive/ Opening in May 2005, this groundbreaking exhibition will present the most up-to-date look at how scientists are reinterpreting many of the most persistent and puzzling mysteries of the dinosaurs--how they looked, how they behaved, how they moved--and ultimately, the complex and hotly debated theories of why they became extinct. Take a sneak peak at this exhibition through a behind-the-scenes image gallery and scientific papers of new dinosaur discoveries. Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with the following institutions to which the exhibition will travel after it closes in New York: the Houston Museum of Natural Science (July 2006); the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco (October 2006); The Field Museum, Chicago (May 2007); and the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh (December 2007).
