… existed and some data have been secured upon the relative influence of sire and dam in the production of offspring. From the limited data collected various conclusions have been drawn, but as yet there is needed more accurate information before the problem will have been solved. This work then is …

The relative influence of competition and coevolution on the community structure of insectivorous bats in Southern Africa
Biotic filters rather than abiotic filters should influence the community structure of animals such as insectivorous bats with life histories characterized by low fecundity. low predation risk. long life expectancy, and stable populations. I investigated the relative influence of biotic filters on …

Relative influence of temperature and disturbance on vegetation dynamics in the Low Arctic : an investigation at multiple scales.
… Since the structure of northern vegetation influences global climate, understanding both temperature and disturbance effects on vegetation is critical. Here, I investigate the influence of temperature and disturbance on Low Arctic vegetation at several spatio-temporal scales in the Mackenzie …

The Relative Influence of a Model of Selected Physiological, Morphological and Running Parameters on Middle Distance Running Performance
This study was conducted to assess the relative influence of a model of selected physiological, morphological and mechanical parameters on running performance at 800, 1500 and 3000 meters (m). The hypothesis examined was that the relative contribution and priority of importance of the parameters …

Individual Differences in Trait Motivation: An Exploration of the Relative Influence of Motivational Traits and Goal Orientation on Goal Setting Processes
Very little empirical evidence exists linking the motivational traits portion of the motivational traits and skills framework to goal setting processes. The present study explored relationships between motivational traits, task-specific self-efficacy and self-set goal level during a computer-based …

Investigating the relative influence of genetic drift and natural selection in shaping patterns of population structure in Delphinids (Delphinus delphis; Tursiops spp.)
Speciation models relying on geographic barriers to limit gene flow gather widespread consensus, but are insufficient to explain diversification in highly mobile marine organisms. Adaptation to different environments has been suggested as an alternative driver for differentiation, particularly in …

Behavioral Evidence for "Contextual Decision Hierarchies" In the Hermit Crab, Pagurus samuelis
… how motivation and sensory cue perception influence the behavioral choices of hermit crabs. I began by reviewing behavioral experiments that have demonstrated the underlying sensory processing of visual, chemical, and tactile information in crustaceans and propose a novel behavior model …
