i am looking for references for a term paper on the benefits/problems of
captivity in animal behavior studies.  for example, i remember reading 
SOMEWHERE of recent findings that female preying mantises devour their mate
ONLY in captivity, apparently an aberrant behavior due to stress of captivity.
hopefully, i would like to demonstrate that both captive and wild populations
are necessary.  the implications for human populations might also be of 
interest.  
thanks in advance.          -debbie
