For male breeding songbirds, song rate varies throughout the breeding season and tends to be correlated with breeding-cycle stages. Although these patterns have been well documented, to our knowledge, this relationship has not been used to predict a bird’s breeding status through acoustic...

Predictive Mapping of Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) Density and Abundance in the Western Boreal Forest via Ground and Satellite Remote Sensors
DownloadFall 2019
The Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) is a small, secretive, wetland bird, which is apparently rare throughout most of its range. Almost nothing is known about its abundance and density in the wetlands of the western boreal forest. Emerging technologies have enabled us to effectively...

Relationships among diverse root foraging behaviours: understanding plant behavioural types
DownloadSpring 2014
Behaviours capture the functional response of plants to environmental factors. I explore behaviours for twenty co-occurring grassland species in response to common belowground environmental factors (competition, mycorrhizae, heterogeneous and high nutrients) and their relationship to plant...

Sponges (Porifera) are abundant in most marine and freshwater ecosystems, and as suspension feeders they play a crucial role in filtering the water column. Their active pumping enables them to filter up to 900 times their body volume of water per hour, recycling nutrients and coupling the benthic...

The calm carrel: a relaxation technique for students with emotional and behavioural disorders
DownloadSpring 2011
The present study examined the implementation of a self-management strategy, termed the calm carrel, as a potential means of bringing about behavioural improvement (as reflected, primarily, in global behavioural ratings, extent of isolation time-out assignments, and student and teacher feedback)...

This work stands as an example of “synthetic methodology” in psychological research. Synthetic methodology involves building a model, seeing what it can and cannot do when placed in interesting environments, comparing this behaviour to real-world subjects for parallels and discrepancies, and then...

The traditional approach to the study of consumer behaviour is to regard them as isolated islands of preferences, needs, motives, and goals; however, this approach neglects the impact of ‘others’ on consumers’ judgments and preferences. For this reason, the theme of this thesis is the ‘connected...

Anthropogenic noise is increasingly widespread as human development continues. Noise can negatively affect humans and wildlife, but the most deleterious effects are incurred by species that rely on vocal communication for mating, territory defence, and other vital functions. Songbirds are...

Fifty-three cross-bred bulls, aged 5–7 mo, were divided at random into a nonimplanted control group of 26 bulls and a treatment group of 27 bulls, which were each implanted with 36 mg of zeranol on the 1st, 81st, and 155th day of the experiment. They were fed a high energy diet ad libitum for 168...
