Genetic variability, demography, and habitat selection in a reintroduced elk (Cervus elaphus) population
… demographic vital rates, and habitat use for a reintroduced elk (Cervus elaphus) population at Fort Riley, Kansas based on data collected from 2003 – 2007. Levels of allelic richness, observed heterozygosity, and expected heterozygosity for the Fort Riley population were intermediate to other …

Survival, Movement, and Fine-Scale Habitat Selection of Reintroduced Texas Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum)
The historical range of the Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) spans most of Texas, and some surrounding states. However, the species has experienced range contraction and population declines throughout much of the range. There is no substantial evidence to specify a single cause, so it is …

Red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) Habitat Use in an Urban System; Behavior of Reintroduced Fish in Bayou St. John, New Orleans
… of restoration efforts. I tested the ability of reintroduced red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) to survive in this system and assessed their habitat use and behavior. I tracked 29 red drum fitted with external acoustic radio transmitters to determine if they could survive the degraded habitats and …

Reintroduction ecology of mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus) and merrnine (Lagostrophus fasciatus) at Shark Bay, Western Australia
… and merrnine (Lagostrophus fasciatus), were reintroduced in August 2001 onto Peron Peninsula in Western Australia. These threatened species were reintroduced using two release strategies (soft versus hard release), and their subsequent movements and body condition were monitored using …

The search for a novel toxicant in Gastrolobium (Fabaceae : Mirbelieae) seed historically associated with toxic native fauna / David E. Peacock.
… deal with this predation would be to provide the reintroduced animals with a chemical defence, making them toxic to the predating fox or cat. This thesis describes the analysis of Gastrolobium seed for possible toxicants which could potentially provide chemical defence compounds for reintroduced …

Population Viability Analysis of Swift fox (Vulpes velox) at the Badlands National Park
… To determine the age-specific survival of the reintroduced swift fox population at BNP and surrounding area, (2) to determine the genetic diversity of the reintroduced population at BNP and (3) to determine habitat selection of female swift fox during the pup-rearing period (May – July), and …

Assessment of a freshwater turtle reintroduction
… evaluated behavior, health, and demography of a reintroduced population of Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macrochelys temminckii) with reference to the suitability of this species for reintroduction and the prognosis of the reintroduction. Using radio telemetry, I found dispersal was size-dependent, …

Ranches with Wolves: How straight talk is the salvation of open range in the Northern Rockies
Since U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reintroduced gray wolves into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in 1995 and 1996, conflicts between wolves and livestock have increased as the wolf population has grown and expanded. Ranchers in wolf country face a changing ecology that now includes …

The effects of wall inertia and axial bending on instabilities in flow through an elastic-walled tube
… forces. Whittaker (2015, IMA J. Appl. Math.) reintroduced in-plane shearing and found a shear-relaxation boundary layer at the tube ends. In this thesis,wall inertia and axial bending are reintroduced into these models. In Chapter 2, wall inertia terms are added to the governing equations for …

Food–web implications of reintroducing anadromous salmonids in reservoirs on the North Fork Lewis River, Washington
… whether the Lewis River Reservoirs can support reintroduced populations of juvenile salmonids, we evaluated prey supply and consumption demand of resident fishes to estimate the carrying capacity for planktivores. We also evaluated the potential predation impact of Northern Pikeminnow …

Did The Pandemic Lockdowns Affect The Welfare of The Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii) At The Toronto Zoo?
… (Pongo abelii) changed when visitors were reintroduced after the lockdowns were lifted. I compared behavioural and physiological measures of stress between the lockdown and visitor introduction phases. Specifically, I studied changes in aversive behaviour by measuring the equality of …

Conflicts surrounding the establishment of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in the Forest of Dean, UK
… the most accurate classification is an illegally reintroduced invasive native species. To reduce conflicts with wild boar and other reintroduced species conscientious conservation should be used; equal weighting of social impact is given in decision making as biological and ecological impacts.

Performance and economics of monovalent selective electrodialysis desalination for irrigation
… of ions. These beneficial ions must then be reintroduced to the desalinated water through the addition of fertilizer. Monovalent selective electrodialysis (MSED) demonstrates greater potential to align with the needs of the agriculture sector. MSED is a variant of conventional electrodialysis …

An Evaluation Of One School District's GED Instructional And Assessment Program Following The Revised GED 2014 Test
<p>In 2014 the GED<sup>®</sup> test was reintroduced for the fifth time in its history. Despite aligning its adult education program content to the Common Core State Standards, one school district still found exceptionally low initial success rates by students. By obtaining quantitative and …

The effect of reaction on compressor performance
… force effects. The centrifugal effects are then reintroduced as a body force. This allows the velocity triangle effect and centrifugal effect to be decoupled. The ability to accurately decouple these two asymmetries has led to a number of major findings. The thesis shows the surprising result …
