Home Range and Nocturnal Activity of the Ozark Hellbender
… methods were used to determine home ranges and nocturnal activity of seven Ozark hellbenders, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishipi, in the North Fork of the White River, Ozark County, Missouri, during a 14 day period in August, 1979.

A Hydrodynamic Sensory Antenna Used By Killifish for Nocturnal Hunting
<p>The perception of sensory stimuli by an animal requires several steps, commencing with the capture of stimulus energy by an antenna. As the interface between the physical world and sensory transduction, the antenna modifies the stimulus in ways that enhance the animal's perception. For example, …

Nocturnal Flights of TRIATOMA (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Sabino Canyon, Arizona
<p>Three species of Triatorna were studied in this investigation: T. rubida uhleri (Neiva), _T. protracta protracta (Uhler), and T. recurva (Stal) (Hemiptera:Reduviidae). These blood-sucking bugs are ectoparasites of vertebrate animals. Triatoma rubida uhleri (Neiva) is the most common conenose bug …

Effects of Artificial Light at Night on Zebra Finch Nocturnal Behavior
… recording to test how ALAN affects specific nocturnal behaviors. I recorded body movement, hopping, grooming, eating, and drinking at four timepoints in the night (17:00, 21:00, 2:00, and 6:00). After 4 days of ALAN exposure, activity significantly increased for all ALAN-exposed individuals, …

Determination, Treatment, and Prevention of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in a Diabetes Camp Setting
… the determination, treatment, and prevention of nocturnal hypoglycemia in a camp setting. Subjects were 57 campers at a week long summer diabetes camp. Age of the subjects ranged from 8 to 15 years with a mean age of 11.7 years. The conceptual framework reflected the review of literature and the …

ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF A WILD NOCTURNAL PRIMATE, THE JAVAN SLOW LORIS (NYCTICEBUS JAVANICUS)
The goal of this dissertation thesis was to bridge the gaps in knowledge and understanding of ecophysiology of a Critically Endangered primate, which can then be applied to conservation management and planning. I studied a population of wild Javan slow lorises (N. javanicus) ranging in a submontane …

Extrapair mating behaviors in the field sparrow: nocturnal singing and extraterritorial forays
… the role of more subtle behaviors, particularly nocturnal signing by diurnal birds and extra-territorial forays (movements off territory). My research explored the function of nocturnal singing and extra-territorial forays in the Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla). I determined that nocturnal …
