(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Efforts to breed the endangered Asian elephant in captivity have historically been difficult because of our primitive understanding of musth. Long-term endocrinological studies of musth are needed; however, it is often ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Analysis of the meterological data showed a high degree of accuracy was obtained from microclimate data for predicting biological events of Amblyomma maculatum Koch. The main factor affecting developmental and survival ...
-
(2022-08-15)As duck production becomes more prevalent on a global scale, modern duck housing systems must maximize duck productivity. The welfare of an animal influences its productivity, and is therefore useful in evaluating which ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Domestic goats (Capra hircus) form lasting social relationships from bonds formed in early life. Mother/infant relationships have been most extensively explored from the standpoint of the mother. This study investigated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The main purpose of this study was to determine if a non-clinical Adult Children of Alcoholic (ACOA) group was different from a nonACOA group on personality traits (measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator-MBTI), and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Breeding chronology and habitat selection by mottled ducks (Anas f. fulvigula) were studied at San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR), TX, 1985-87. The Habitat Suitability Index (HST) model for the mottled duck also ...
-
(2018-04-02)This mixed methods study addressed the need for common area expectations that serve to create a positive school culture and climate. An embedded research design was used during which information from teacher interviews ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Research was conducted to quantify volatile compounds emanating from the flower buds of seven cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. ) cultivars at two planting location, to determine the influence of the volatiles on boll weevil ...
-
(2015-12-08)The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a life-defining place for premature infants and other newborns with serious health conditions. The demand for newborn intensive care has been increasing in the recent years, but ...
-
(2020-11-25)Parasites have diverse impacts on the vector hosts they infect. This includes alterations to host behavior, survivorship, and fecundity. One group of parasites frequently consumed by mosquitoes are avian malaria parasites ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The parasitoid Campoletis sonorensis (Cameron) was used in studies to determine the influence of plants (the potential host habitat) on parasitoid searching behavior. Inferences regarding general host habitat location by ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This dissertation introduces two advancements in the treatment of random components within insect pest population models. Part one of the dissertation develops a model for predicting the mean and variance of a population ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The development of behavior patterns of the white-tailed deer fawns were observed from the time of birth until approximately four months of age. Animals in both free range and captive conditions were utilized. Parturition ...
-
(2020-11-09)Hybridization, or interbreeding between two distinct species, can result in a variety of evolutionary consequences. To understand genetic introgression and stability of a hybrid zone, it is crucial to investigate multiple ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Behavioral criteria, involving locomotor activity, were used to analyze the response of two species of shark, (Negaprion brevirosteris and Ginglymostoma cirratum), with respect to decreasing flow rates. Behavior was monitored ...
-
(2018-08-26)Pheromones play an important role in conspecific mate preference across taxa. While the mechanisms underlying the pheromonal basis of reproductive isolation are well characterized in insects, we know far less about the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Free ranging nilgai on the Norias Division of King Ranch, Inc., were studied during the period of 1971-1974 to derive information about the dynamics of population processes and their interaction with behavior and range ...
-
Population Genetics and Colony Breeding Structure of the Invasive Tawny Crazy Ant, Nylanderia fulva (2019-04-12)Insects that have evolved to live socially are some of the most invasive species on the planet. Of these invaders, many are ant species whose overwhelming success in non-native habitats is possible due to several favorable ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A new bioassay for assessing the behavioral responses of aquatic animals to chemical stimulants is described. The assay combines an octagonal fluviarium, capable of providing up to eight discrete plumes of treated water, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)A series of six experiments involving a total of 1627 birds from four genetic lines known to differ in their resistance to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) were conducted. In experiment one, the relationship between transplantation ...
