Subcultures of Significance: Urbanity-Rurality, Tightness-Looseness, and Risk Perception

Creator:: Frydenlund, Nicole T. L.
Abstract:: Tightness-looseness (TL) is a cultural construct that measures the level of social norms present in a community, and the level of scrutiny of deviance from these norms. This construct offers a unique foundation for investigating how norms influence behavioral processes. Research in TL is relatively young, creating a frontier of...

Impact of Vitamin E Deficiency on Hepatic Gene Expression of CRAL_TRIO Family Proteins in a Premier Vertebrate Animal Model

Creator:: Watt, Alexander T.
Abstract:: Vitamin E (vitE) is a group of lipid-soluble antioxidants- of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active and only form considered to be an essential nutrient. Through preferential binding and trafficking, the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) regulates the concentration of vitE in the body. The impact of vitE deficiency on...

Evaluating the mixed species feeding opportunities provided by foraging humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) across ocean ecosystems

Creator:: Ellett, Lindsey G.
Abstract:: Group foraging occurs across many ecosystems and taxa, and benefits some or all individuals in the group by optimizing feeding efficiency. The beater theory describes when individual “beaters” benefit other group members by herding prey into more accessible areas. Humpback whales feed on a variety of small patchy prey, and...
