Social Context Affects Response to an Acute Stressor in Captive Red Crossbills, Loxia curvirostra

Creator:: Tsuchihashi, Natsumi
Abstract:: Sociality relies upon mechanisms that permit group living through a balance of costs and benefits. However, it is not fully known how specific social contexts influence behavioral and physiological outcomes, and more broadly, how responses to social situations contribute to social organization. A recent experiment investigating the relationship between social...

Changing stories and moving bones : correlation of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships in Kingston's The Woman Warrior and Ng's Bone

Creator:: Fujii, So
Abstract:: This thesis argues for significant correlations in the politics of representation of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships in two literary texts by Maxine Hong Kingston and Fae Myenne Ng. The two novels do not follow traditional representations of Chinatown and provide critical representations of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships. First, Kingston's The...

Supplemental feeding influences reproductive success of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) at Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawai'i

Creator:: Tamayose, Joy
Abstract:: Low reproductive success has been typical of high elevation populations of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) or nēnē. Researchers identified predation and inadequate nutrition as limiting factors. Reproductive success remained low in most years despite on-going predator control programs. I used a supplemental feeding program over two breeding seasons in...

Life history variables of Dicamptodon salamanders

Creator:: Wagner, Lisa A.
Abstract:: It is good practice to fully understand components of an ecosystem if we hope to preserve its biodiversity. A problem is that we know very little about some organisms and nothing of others. Studies that investigate an organism’s basic biological, ecological and physiological life history variables advance our knowledge of...

Patterns and mechanisms : postcopulatory sexual selection and sexual conflict in a novel mating system

Creator:: Friesen, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Postcopulatory sexual selection—sperm competition and cryptic female choice—has become a major area of research over the past 40 years. Within this field there are many outstanding questions at every level of analysis, from proximate to ultimate. The fitness consequences for both sexes in the period after copulation and before fertilization...

Health Barriers and Associated Individual and Healthcare Professional Interventions

Creator:: Fun, Sara Ellie

The immunomodulatory role of canine mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles

Creator:: Phelps, Shannon M.
Abstract:: Immune-mediated diseases are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in canine patients. Treatments currently involve generalized suppression of the immune system, and corticosteroids are often used as a first-line agent. While often effective, corticosteroids are unlikely to induce remission without substantial side effects. Second-line immunosuppressive agents may be effective...

Canine LH Receptors Expression in Non-neoplastic and Neoplastic Tissues

Creator:: Zwida, Khawla
Abstract:: Throughout most of the developed world, surgical sterilization via gonadectomy has become a common tool for combating the overpopulation of unwanted dogs as well as to eliminate the risk of reproductive diseases in pet dogs. In the dog as in other normal adult mammal, the hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH),...

Role of IL-8 and TIMP-2 on term canine trophoblast migration, invasion, and proliferation

Creator:: Gullaba, Justine Marie
Abstract:: Placental pathologies are not uncommon in dogs. For example, in primiparous bitches, the reported incidence of subinvolution of placental sites is 21% - 100%. Despite years of research in multiple species, the mechanisms regulating late gestation trophoblast behavior in the dog remain unexamined. Therefore, the objective of this study was...
