  • Ecological aspects of kin discriminating behavior with implications of functional value

    Creator:
    Hokit, D. Grant
    Abstract:
    To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results suggest that...
