Scope theory revisited : lessons from pied-piping in wh-questions
… This thesis argues that a closer study of pied-piping in wh-questions reveals the true power of already-existing tools in grammar. Building on the important insight that more complex scope-takers can be recursively built (Dayal, 1994; Charlow, 2017), I advance the idea that grammar makes …

Pied crow in South Africa: integrating ecological and social dimensions for effective management
The Pied Crow (Corvus albus) has experienced a significant increase in abundance and distribution in recent decades in South Africa, mainly attributed to human-driven factors such as agriculture, climate change, and urbanization. This growth is particularly notable in the arid regions of the …

Understanding predation of tortoises by nesting Pied Crows (Corvus albus) in western South Africa
… last two decades in western South Africa is the Pied Crow (Corvus albus). In conjunction with this expansion have come observed accounts of large numbers of tortoises being found depredated under Pied Crow nests, raising concerns over their impact on tortoises in these areas. Southern Africa has …

Using Conditioned Food Aversion (CFA) to reduce Pied Crow (Corbus albus) predation of plover nests
… Plover (Charadrius pecuarius) are high due to Pied Crow (Corvus albus) nest predation. I used this common plover as a model species to test whether CFA can be used as a conservation management tool to reduce nest predation. I used a field experiment to assess whether provisioning quail eggs …

Heat tolerance of Southern Pied Babblers in the Kalahari Desert : how will they respond to climate change?
An increasing incidence of mass mortalities of birds in hot deserts suggests that birds may be appropriate candidates for assessing how natural selection, under the influence of climate change, drives adaptation. ... The effects of ambient temperature on daily weight gain, foraging effort and …

Can sociality buffer the impacts of climate change on a cooperatively-breeding bird, the southern pied babbler Turdoides bicolor?
… for a cooperatively-breeding bird, the southern pied babbler Turdoides bicolor. I investigate the impacts of temperature, rainfall, and group size on interannual survival, behaviour, physiology, growth, and reproduction in southern pied babblers, taking a multidisciplinary approach combining …

An exploration of evolving forms of access to performance and image enhancing drugs (PIED), and body image, on Gold Coast, Australia, with particular emphasis on how users reconcile their drift into criminality
… countries, Performance and Image Enhancing Drug (PIED) use is also becoming increasingly prevalent among gym attendees in mainstream society. This investigation attempts to understand, and situate growing PIED use and to explore the extent to which theoretical explanations such as drift, …

Les effets des orthèses plantaires personnalisées sur la douleur, la fonction du pied et sur la marche des patients atteints de l’arthrite psoriasique
Introduction : Les atteintes du pied chez les patients atteints de l’arthrite psoriasique (APso) sont une source de douleur importante. Celles-ci peuvent affecter la marche des patients et leurs activités ambulatoires et avoir ainsi un impact important sur leur qualité de vie. L’orthèse plantaire …

The grammar of Q : Q-particles and the nature of Wh-fronting, as revealed by the Wh-questions of Tlingit
… reveals that the phenomenon known as 'pied-piping' does not exist, and that all putative examples of it are actually instances of normal phrasal movement of the Q-particle. This thesis starts from the demonstration that wh-fronting in Tlingit (Na-Dene; Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon) …

The Impacts of Corvids on Biodiversity
… in South Africa, as one indigenous species, the pied crow (Corvus albus) seems to be increasing. The aim was to explore whether changes in pied crow abundance in South Africa correlate with certain covariates which have been suggested to be involved in their increase. These covariates include …
