Fictitious Ecology
… these terms, I navigate the idea of a fictitious ecology, an encapsulated anthropomorphic world governed by the creator’s personal experience with nature. This essay seeks to understand how the Primary and Secondary world inform W.H Auden’s idea of the “historian” and “poet,” using the evolution …

Behavioural Ecology of Lake Trout: From Movement Ecology to Bioenergetics
The movement patterns of most organisms are directed to maximizing the success of habitat exploitation, which can be quantified by examining population-level parameters such as size and age at maturity, and the population bioenergetics. Similarly, the behavioural decisions of organisms are …

What is Ecology?
… many ways to try to make sense of that which is. Ecology, which deals with organisms in relation to their environments, makes sense of that which is through the study of relations among and between organisms and their environments. Modern ecology is predominantly understood as a scientific …

Ecology of Manayunkia speciosa
… and Canada. Relatively little is known about the ecology of this species. However, the discovery that <italic>M. speciosa</italic> plays an obligate role in the life cycle of two parasites (<italic>Ceratomyxa shasta</italic> Noble and <italic>Parvicapsula minibicornis</italic> Kent) that can cause …

Kentucky Bluegrass Blend Ecology
Seed size and germination differed between varieties and seedlots within varieties. Blending seed using seed weight resulted in an actual composition similar to the intended composition. Including a susceptible variety in a blend resulted in more severe rust and powdery mildew than when not …

The ecology of Patella
The present thesis is aimed principally at the population dynamics and biological interactions of Patella species. Most of the work is based on all eleven of the South African species, although volume of work necessitated the omission of the less common species from parts of the work. The research …

Pollination ecology of Mesembs
… biome of South Africa. While its pollination ecology still remains largely unstudied, the system is thought to be overall generalised. This study sought to verify whether Mesemb species flowering during September and October in Vrolijkheit Nature Reserve have generalised or specialised …

Printing a glass ecology
In this thesis, I explore relationships between form generation, material properties, and design constraints in search of a new framework for designing with unpredictable or unstable material systems using glass 3D printing as a case study. Molten glass forming has always been difficult to …

The ecology of truth
… designers and architects like to imagine. The Ecology of Truth investigates these weak effects as a mesoscope; a device designed to interrogate the spaces and relationships between the microscopic-the lab, and the macroscopic-the Institute. The work draws on the aesthetic of the laboratory at …

Behavioural Ecology of Large Tuna
Animal behaviour operates at the intersection of physiological capacity and ecological constraints, making it a sensitive biomarker for stressor impacts. However, understanding behavioural responses requires monitoring at temporal resolutions matching the biological processes of interest, from …

The ecology of Brassica napus
Volunteer canola (Brassica napus L.) has become an abundant weed in western Canadian cropping systems. Modern canola cultivars are strong competitors and produce large seed yields, however seed shattering during harvest creates large volunteer seedbanks. The segregation of hybrid trait and changes …

Migratory Ecology of Sea Turtles
… imperative to understanding their behavior and ecology, and is often necessary for designing effective conservation-strategies. This is especially true for migratory species, such as sea turtles, whose long-distance movements form a major component of their life history. In this thesis, I …
