Movement patterns in the unstable total knee replacement
… should be applied to investigate biomechanical patterns to investigate functional characteristics underpinning TKA instability. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether movement characteristics associated with TKA instability could be detected and quantified within a clinical setting. …

Optimal Movement Patterns of the Lower Extremity in Running
In order to search for the optimal control necessary to minimize energy expenditure in running, there needs to be conducted a comprehensive dynamic analysis and the application of optimal system control theory. The procedures of this research comprised of two main parts, theoretical and …

Environmental influences on tuna movement patterns in the Indian Ocean
… to ocean environment, survival estimates, movement patterns, size-groups and school-type: Free Schools (FS) and Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs). Using a multivariate approach, it was found that the years 2005 to 2007 were most abundant in recoveries of skipjack adults (77.45%) while …

Structure, Dynamics, and Movement Patterns for Crappies in South Dakota Waters
… telemetry was used to determine monthly and diel movements of white crappies Pomoxis annularis in a South Dakota glacial lake. Sonic transmitters were surgically implanted in 37 adult white crappies (265-327 mm, total length; 315-530g). From 15 April to 15 October, 1, 712 locations were recorded …

Resource selection, movement patterns, and survival of post-fledging grassland birds in Missouri
… requirements. I described resource selection, movement patterns, and survival of dickcissels (Spiza americana) and eastern meadowlarks (Sturnella magna) in southwestern Missouri, from 2002 to 2004 using radio telemetry. Across species at the micro-scale, there was support for the predation …

Tracking Toads: Movement Patterns of Gulf Coast Toads (Incilius nebulifer) and the Urban Environment
… Coast Toad may be expanding its range. Studying movement behavior can reveal how invasive a species may be and is a key factor in understanding the ecology of a species. This study used standardized movement trials in the field to gather behavioral data from toads in two different urban …

Navigating in a Rainforest: Movement Patterns in a Neotropical Primate. The Black Howler Monkey
… To incorporate such information into movement decisions, animals have evolved different cognitive mechanisms that enhance their spatial performance and foraging effort across heterogeneous landscapes. While sophisticated spatial skills are agued to underly flexible and efficient …

Incorporating Migration and Local Movement Patterns into Management Strategies for Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias)
… is to increase understanding of migration and movement behaviors associated with a highly migratory elasmobranch species. In particular, I seek to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to warrant the separation of the northwest Atlantic Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) into separate …

Movement patterns and phenology of the tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), in Virginia peanuts
… immigration, population dynamics and intra-field movement patterns of the tobacco thrips, Frankliniel/a fusca (Hinds), in peanuts were studied in 1990 and 1991 in the City of Suffolk, Virginia. The long-term goal was to improve our understanding of the role of tobacco thrips in the epidemiology of …

Landscape heterogeneity at multiple scales: effects on movement patterns and habitat selection of eleodid beetles
… I examined correlations in spatio-temporal patterns of habitat occupancy, population density, and community structure in eleodids with spatial and abiotic features of the landscape; I then explored how variations in spatial structure could affect how animals move through a landscape, …
