Responses of Python regius to animal chemosensory stimuli: Implications of foraging ecology
… homeothermic and poikilothermic animals. Prey Searching Behavior (amount of locomotion) and Information Gathering Behavior (tongue flicking) were observed. Habituation to odors resulted in decreased behaviors. Odors of homeothermic animals elicited greater behavioral responses than did odors of …

Optimal contracting with predecision information: Communication problems under pure asymmetry of information
… model that involves the agent's information-searching behavior, the choice of information system, in the economic setting of pure asymmetric information where the principal cannot observe either the agent's information system or information-searching effort.

Contributions of Task-Representation in Attentional Inhibition
… experiences produce dramatic changes in future searching behavior. This dissertation includes five experiments designed to determine the extent to which an observer's knowledge and intentions may modulate the influence of recent events on future behavior. Experiment 1 provided evidence that …

Photo searching on small screen devices
… screens. However, they lack the tools for searching through large collections of photographs. This is particularly important as users have expressed a desire to store images on mobile devices in the long term. No substantial research has looked at addressing users searching needs. Few …

NEOICHNOLOGY OF BATS: MORPHOLOGICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND PHYLOGENETIC INFLUENCES ON TERRESTRIAL BEHAVIOR AND TRACKMAKING ABILITY WITHIN THE CHIROPTERA
… 1 bats also frequently performed a nonambulatory behavior, termed the searching behavior, which produced distinctive tracks. Type 2 bats in this study performed terrestrial behaviors more similar to those of Type 1 bats than to Type 3. The searching behavior produces distinct radial pes track …

Release and monitoring of Laricobius nigrinus (Coleoptera: Derodontidae) for biological control of the hemlock woolly adelgid in the eastern US
… or branch clipping for immatures, and the host searching behavior of L. nigrinus was studied to understand how it locates a tree and HWA. In the Appalachians, beat sheet sampling resulted in false negatives as larvae were collected by branch clipping. Adults orientated to a tree visually, fed …

Learning and Olfactory Processing by the Parasitic Wasp, Cotesia Congregata, In Response to Concentration of Herbivore Related Tomato Volatiles
… volatiles, in a manner that may allow host searching behavior to use continuous concentration differences, and the concentration a parasitic wasp encounters during learning and host searching seems to be an independent and important factor in understanding parasitoid behavior in tri-trophic …
