Exposure to strangers does not cause pregnancy distribution or infanticide in the gray-tailed vole

Creator:: De la Maza, Helen M.
Abstract:: Numerous laboratory studies with at least 12 species of rodents have reported that exposure of females to strange males results in pregnancy disruption or infanticide. The proximate causes and ultimate benefits of these behaviors have been proposed from an evolutionary perspective. To determine if exposure to strange males or females...

Utilization of dietary protein by the mussel, Mytilus edulis trossulus (Linnaeus 1758)

Creator:: Kreeger, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Protein microcapsules (PM) were developed as a tool for investigating aspects of dietary protein utilization by mussels, Mytilus edulis trossulus. Digestion of PM in vitro by protease, trypsin, amylase and extracts from the gut of mussels varied significantly depending on the type of protein encapsulated or whether carbohydrates were added...

Allogrooming behavior of European honey bees Apis melliferal L.

Creator:: Kuswadi, Achmad Nasroh
Abstract:: Workers in colonies of European honey bees Apis mellifera L. clean their nestmate's body by allogrooming behavior. This behavior may be initiated by either grooming dancers or by the allogroomers themselves. The first occurs less frequently (ca. 17 %) than the later (83 %). By using the inner edge of...

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...

Selenoprotein W : distribution and function in rat tissue and cultured cells

Creator:: Sun, Yu, 1963-
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to further determine the distribution of selenoprotein W (SeW) in tissues from rats and sheep fed different selenium levels and to search for the possible functions of this protein. In the rat study a total of 28 rat tissues were examined and SeW was...

Pheromonal mediation of reproductive behavior in the brown tree snake

Creator:: Greene, Michael John
Abstract:: In animals, reproductive behaviors serve to attract individuals together during the breeding season and to coordinate the behavioral and physiological states of individuals so that mating can successfully occur. In snakes, the various reproductive behaviors including courtship, mating, courtship inhibition, male combat and trailing are mediated primarily by pheromones. Pheromones...

Studies of fiber utilization in poultry

Creator:: Hollister, Albert Gene, 1945-
Abstract:: The high quality feedstuffs which are used in poultry feeds are costly and could be used directly for human food. There is less competition for fibrous feedstuffs which are less digestible by humans and other nonruminants. Feedstuffs containing crude and refined dietary fiber were examined for their effects on performance,...
