Fall 2018
A near miss is considered a special type of failure that approximates a goal. In skillful activities, near misses are indeed contingent on behaviour. Therefore, they can suggest how behaviour ought to be modified to achieve a desired end. However, near misses in games of chance do not share this...

Characterizing the role of the endocannabinoid system’s catabolic enzymes FAAH and MAGL in the development of functional sensorimotor activities in zebrafish
DownloadFall 2022
The endocannabinoid system (eCS) plays a critical role in a variety of homeostatic and developmental processes. Generally, the eCS relies on the naturally produced compounds known as endocannabinoids (eCBs), which are lipophilic signaling molecules that interact with cannabinoid receptors to...

Critical Swimming Speed and Metabolic Activity as Predictors of Ecologically Relevant Behaviour in Juvenile Rainbow Trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss)
DownloadSpring 2019
Swimming ability in fish is vital for survival since it relates to behaviours such as avoiding predators, capturing prey, migration, and reproduction. Critical swimming speed is the most commonly used measure to quantify swimming ability, and so it is often assumed to be a good indicator of...

Exploring above- and belowground behavioural responses to nutrients and neighbours in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2022
Taking in environmental information and responding in ways that maximize their ability to thrive and reproduce, plants exhibit behaviour through constant changes in biomass development and spatial distribution. Studies aiming to map this behaviour often use model plants like sunflowers and...

Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Since antiquity, fever has been documented as a physiological response to infection characterized by an increase in body temperature. Though fever is commonly regarded as a deleterious symptom of inflammation and is often suppressed using NSAID drugs, little is known about the effects that fever...

Ciriaco, Thayanne M. G., Wambura, Veronica, Wong, Stephen D.
A changing climate is placing significant strain on urban environments as communities are contending with intensifying and more frequent hazards. Communities are simultaneously facing ongoing and new societal challenges that centre around a need for critical services and resources. To help people...
