Beebe's first book, titled Two Bird Lovers in Mexico, was an account of this expedition.

Beebe's observations of sexual dimorphism in pheasants during this expedition led him to become the first biologist to correctly understand the mechanism by which this aspect of sexual selection operates.

The first volume of Beebe's pheasant monograph was published that fall, although the ongoing war made it unclear when the remaining three volumes would be published.

During the two Zaca expeditions Beebe was accompanied by his longtime assistant John Tee-Van as well as Jocelyn Crane, a young carcinologist who had first worked for Beebe at Nonsuch Island in 1932, and who would subsequently be among Beebe's most cherished associates for the rest of his life.

The American Museum of Natural History, which opened the year that Beebe was born, fostered Beebe's love of nature and was an early influence on him.

While Beebe's flying cage was criticized as being based on an inaccurate understanding of birds ' needs, it ultimately proved very successful.

This expedition was Beebe's introduction to the tropics, with which he developed a long-standing fascination.

Beebe's second book, The Bird, Its Form and Function, was published in 1906.

Although this evolutionary model is now taken for granted, in William Beebe's time it was a novel idea.

By the end of 1914, Beebe's pheasant monograph was essentially complete in manuscript.

Beebe's position in the Zoological Society underwent a change in 1918: He was given the title of Honorary Curator of Birds, and was made the director of the newly created Department of Tropical Research.

The Arcturus was outfitted with Beebe's pulpit and boom walk from the Noma, as well as cages and tanks for live animals, chemicals and vials to preserve dead ones, and a darkroom for developing film and studying the bioluminescent animals they hoped to encounter.

Although Riders of the Wind was partially based on Beebe's pheasant expedition, Elswyth did not enjoy Beebe's current research.

Bermuda's governor Louis Bols introduced Beebe to Prince George, who was fascinated by Beebe's books, and Prince George persuaded Beebe to take him helmet diving.

However, Beebe's ability to research the deep ocean using these methods was constrained by the inherent limitations of dredging, which could only provide an incomplete picture of the animals living there.

Barton was convinced that Beebe's design for a diving vessel would never be capable of withstanding the extreme pressure of the deep ocean, and with the help of a friend who arranged a meeting with Beebe, proposed an alternative design to him.

Beebe's observations were relayed up the phone line to be recorded by Gloria Hollister, his chief technical associate who was also in charge of preparing specimens obtained from dredging.

An additional difficulty in 1931 was the death of Beebe's father, and Beebe left Nonsuch Island for a week in order to attend his father's funeral.

Beebe and Barton also obtained publicity for their dives from several articles Beebe wrote describing them for National Geographic, and from an NBC radio broadcast in which Beebe's voice transmitted up the phone line from inside the Bathysphere was broadcast nationally over the radio.

Elswyth explained in a magazine interview that she was uncomfortable on Beebe's expeditions, so the two of them had agreed that they would keep their careers separate from their private lives.

Although Beebe's research at Caripito was productive, he felt that the extremity of its wet-dry cycle made it impractical as a research station, and the expanding oil operations in the region were in danger of destroying the local environment.

William Beebe, Jocelyn Crane, and Beebe's physician A. E. Hill at Simla in 1959 In 1952, on his seventy-fifth birthday, Beebe retired from his position as the director of the NYZS's Department of Zoological Society and became Director Emeritus, while Jocelyn Crane was promoted to Assistant Director.

However, Beebe's prolific writing for a popular audience had a downside, in that other scientists of his time were reluctant to hold him in high accord because they regarded him as a popularizer.

While many of Beebe's observations from the Bathysphere have since been confirmed by advances in undersea photography, it is unclear whether others fit the description of any known sea animal.

" This animal's discovery has had the effect of resurrecting Beebe's theory that leg feathers played an important role in the origin of bird flight.

The New York Times carried articles describing Beebe's plans, which called for a diving bell with the shape of a cylinder.

Beebe's campaign centered on what his campaign called his " Believe in Arkansas Plan ," which outlined his plans for improving access to affordable healthcare, improving education, and stimulating economic development and job growth.

He founded Beebe's Corners, which in 1878 agreed to join with the two nearest neighboring communities of Ridgeway and Cooper Town to form the Village of Richmond.

William Beebe with a Japanese Long-tailed fowl ( Red Junglefowl ) The last portion of Beebe's journey took him to China, from which they made an unplanned visit to Japan in order to escape a riot as well as a surge of bubonic plague.

With the help of Beebe's friend the physician Henry Lloyd, Beebe conducted an expedition in the West Indies examining the stomach contents of tuna, which uncovered previously unknown larval forms of several species of fish.

Unlike Beebe's other tropical research stations, which had been located in lowland regions, Rancho Grande was located on a mountainside in what Beebe described as " the ultimate cloud jungle ".

Beebe described his experiences at Rancho Grande in his 1949 book High Jungle, which was the last of Beebe's major books.

However, Beebe's personal physician A. E. Hill provides a differing account, stating that Beebe remained lucid and able to move about without assistance almost until his last day, apart from the periods of time during which his " mango mouth " temporarily slurred his speech.

One particular point of disagreement was Beebe's forgetfulness about returning books which he had borrowed from the Zoological Society's Library, which would occasionally go missing for years as a result.

In 2003, Beebe's Tetrapteryx hypothesis was supported by the discovery of Microraptor gui, a small feathered dinosaur which possessed asymmetrical flight feathers on both its front and hind limbs.

Beebe's Tetrapteryx hypothesis is now regarded as prescient for its prediction of both the anatomy and likely gliding posture of Microraptor gui, which Richard O. Prum has described as " as if it could have glided straight out of the pages of Beebe ’ s notebooks.

Christie then recovered his own onside kick and the Bills scored on the fourth play of their ensuing drive with Reich's 38-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Don Beebe ( on a play in which one of Beebe's feet went partially out of bounds during the run before he made the catch — an illegal touching of the football ; this was pointed out on ESPN's " NFL Primetime " postgame recap as well as by Todd Christensen on the NBC broadcast ).

Beebe's field work also resulted in the creation of the Society ’ s Department of Tropical Research, which Beebe directed from 1922 until his retirement in 1948.

In January 1950, the New York Zoological Society held a celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Beebe's work for them.
