A study of behavior in the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus rubidus Osgood during its 24-hour cycle of activity in a simulated natural habitat

Creator:: Laban, Cornelis
Abstract:: With a growing emphasis on details of behavior comes an increasing need for knowledge of natural behavior patterns. Studies on the life history of Peromyscus maniculatus have long been available in the literature. More recently, investigators have turned to analyzing the behavior of some of the subspecies of P.m. in...

Analysis of the benthic Cumacea and Gammaridean Amphipoda from the western Beaufort Sea

Creator:: Castillo Alarcon, Jorge Gonzalo
Abstract:: A multidisciplinary western Beaufort Sea Ecological Cruise (WEBSEC) was conducted from August 15 to September 20, 1971. During the cruise, one hundred ninety-nine 0.1 m² Smith-McIntyre grabs samples were taken at forty stations located on the continental shelf and slope of the western Beaufort Sea. The Gammaridean Amphipoda and Cumacea...

The classification and structure of marine macrobenthic assemblages at Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Richardson, M. D. (Michael D.)
Abstract:: In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait. The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated into 282 taxa, including 108 species...

Distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E in fish, shellfish and the marine environment of the Pacific Northwest, and protein patterns of the toxigenic and non-toxigenic stains

Creator:: Craig, James Morrison
Abstract:: Interest in the distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E was heightened by the sudden outbreak of human botulism from smoked whitefish chubs and canned tuna fish in 1963. The question arose as to how widely the organism is distributed among fish and shellfish in the Northwest and what potential hazard...

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...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

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...

Chemical signaling and pheromone evolution in plethodontid salamanders

Creator:: Palmer, Catherine Anne
Abstract:: My dissertation focuses on the evolutionary forces that have shaped the chemical signaling system of plethodontid salamanders. Pheromones mediate two phases of plethodontid reproduction: mate attraction prior to courtship and female persuasion during courtship. Substrate-borne chemical signals are believed to play an important role in mate attraction for these animals....

Pheromone mechanisms and behavioral strategies for maximizing courtship success in a terrestrial salamander, Plethodon shermani

Creator:: Vaccaro, Elyse A.
Abstract:: Darwin devised the evolutionary theory of sexual selection to account for the manifold extravagances of courtship behaviors and displays. Mating interactions represent a major evolutionary process driving the elaboration, vibrancy, and peculiarity of these courtship traits. For my dissertation research, I strived to elucidate the dynamics that constitute the complex...
