Harland, Alexandra J.

This study encompasses the evaluation of Nofence virtual fencing (VF) technology for managing grazing cattle in western Canada, addressing both technical performance and animal behavior. Two key investigations were conducted: one focusing on the technical efficacy of VF collars during summer and...

Individual organisms mediate their relationship with their environment through behaviour, which can have consequences at higher levels of biological organization such as populations and communities. Plants express diverse behaviours in response to their environments, but many aspects of behaviour...

Animals of many species demonstrate movement behaviour in which decisions are based on a variety of information. Effects of resources have been studied widely, often under the assumption that the environment is constant over the course of the study. Much less understood is the role of dynamic...

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating human perception, cognition, and behavior. The ability to create immersive and interactive environments provides researchers with the opportunity to study human behavior in controlled and repeatable conditions. In recent years,...

This field study addressed a number of natural history parameters of Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) in the Mekong River of Laos that were not well-documented, including diving behaviour, foraging ecology, habitat use, social behaviour, group size, and diurnal movements. Irrawaddy...

Nosema ceranae and Lotmaria passim are two commonly encountered digestive tract parasites of the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) that have been associated with colony losses in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Though honey bees can be co-infected with these parasites, little is known...

Sponges perceive and respond to a range of stimuli. How they do this is still difficult to pin down despite now having transcriptomes and genomes of an array of species. Here we evaluate the current understanding of sponge behavior and present new observations on sponge activity in situ. We also...
