Sharp-Tailed Grouse Nesting and Brooding Habitat in Southwestern North Dakota
The habitat of nesting and brooding sharp-tailed grouse (Pedioecetes phasianellus) was studied 1 April to 25 August 1973 and 1974. The objective of the study was to determine the quality and quantity of vegetation at nest and brood locations of sharp-tailed grouse in relation to available …

Proposed Subtypes of Anger Rumination: Brooding and Reflection and Their Associations with Aggression
… as two distinct subtypes, reflection and brooding (Treynor, Gonzalez, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2003). Brooding is considered maladaptive because feelings and situations are viewed through a negativistic lens and reflection is viewed as adaptive and uses a problem-solving approach (Lopez, 2010; …

Brooding behaviour in Ophioderma wahlbergii, a shallow-water brittle star from South Africa
The brooding behaviour and brooded young are described for Ophioderma wahlbergii Müller & Troschel 1842, a large, common brittle star from the coastal waters of South Africa. Twenty specimens were collected each month from June 2013 – May 2014 (n = 240). The species was found to be gonochoric.

Breeding Biology Of Chuck-Will's-Widows: Incubation, Brooding, And Provisioning Behavior And Characteristics Of Nest Sites
… roles of males and females, (2) quantify the brooding and provisioning behavior of males and females, and, (3) compare the characteristics of nest sites and randomly selected unused sites to determine those features important in nest site selection. </p> <p>My study was conducted at the …

Productivity, Movements, and Habitat Use of Nesting and Brooding Wild Turkey Hens in Gregory County, South Dakota
Radio-equipped wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hens (n=53) were monitored in a prairie river breaks environment in south-central South Dakota during 1986 and 1987. Seventy percent (36 of 47 adults and 1 of 6 juveniles) of the monitored hens nested. Hens that nested prior to 7 May selected nest …

Stress and Suicidal Behavior: A Cognitive, Behavioral, and Biological Integrative Approach
… The first study found a relationship between the brooding subtype of rumination and trait impulsivity in the forms of negative urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance. Further, lack of premeditation and lack of perseverance mediated the relationship between brooding and suicide …

Rumination and Avoidance as Mediators of the Relationship Between Self-Compassion and Depression in Adolescents
… symptomatology, rumination (reflection and brooding subtypes) and cognitive-behavioural avoidance. Results Results showed that for the relationship between self-compassion and depression, brooding rumination, reflective rumination and total cognitive-behavioural avoidance emerged as …

The neurobiology of central dopamine and progesterone in the reproductive cycle of the ring dove (Streptopelia risoria)
… increased TFJ-ir cells, in male and female brooding doves, in the nuclei periventricularis magnocellularis, dorsomedialis anterior thalami, pretectalis medialis; and in the nucleus dorsomedialis posterior thalami in female brooding birds. This confirms that increases in dopamine activity …

Behavioral ecology of juvenile brown-headed cowbirds: implications for the evolution and maintenance of avian brood parasitism
… second brood within the same season (i.e. double-brooding). I established that non-parasitized warblers respond to natural fecundity reduction (i.e. hatching failure and nestling death) with increased frequency of double-brooding. Then, I showed that raising a brood parasite induces compensatory …

Embryological development of Cucumaria curata
Almost no work has been done on the brooding habits of Cucumaria curata Cowles 1902 from the Pacific Coast of North America. Most of the embryological investigations of holothurians on this coast have been with species having free swimming larval forms (Johnson and Johnson, 1950). Since the …

Factors controlling the expression of central progesterone receptors
… and one of low plasma estrogen concentration (brooding). Cell nuclei containing progesterone receptor were largely restricted to the medial and basal hypothalamic area with the highest density occurring in the preoptic area and the lateral hypothalamus. The distribution of cells containing …

Partitioning along reproductive niche dimensions in sympatric New Zealand freshwater bivalve species
… species elsewhere. For the first time, the brooding phenology of E. aucklandica is reported, filling an important data gap on the basic biology of this poorly known and threatened species. Though E. aucklandica began brooding earlier and remained gravid for longer than E. menziesii, the …

Ebonyshell Host Identification and Reproductive Biology
… restoration. Ebonyshell have been observed brooding embryos from May to September. The long brooding season of ebonyshell might be explained if 1) individuals reproduce once annually but asynchronously, or if 2) individuals produce multiple broods annually. I examined ebonyshell in the Lower …

Central mechanisms involved in the reproductive cycle of the ring dove (Streptopelia Risoria)
… In addition, this region was devoid of PR in brooding birds. In contrast, PR expression in the POA, PPM and PLH was increased in brooding birds, compared to E 2-treated doves and those at other stages of the reproductive cycle. High numbers of PR were localized in the developed oviduct in E …

THE RELATIONS BETWEEN RUMINATION, THOUGHT CONTROL, AND SUICIDAL THINKING

The efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in cultivating mindfulness-skills and self-compassion and the association with rumination in people with history of recurrent depression: A randomized controlled trial
… MBCT would be associated with reduced depressive brooding and reflective pondering and to examine whether MBCT reduces current anxiety and depression symptoms. Method: Participants were people with a history of at least three major depressive episodes (N = 69). Stratified randomization was used to …

Effects of Grazing Systems on Sharp-tailed Grouse Habitat
… (Pedioecetes phasianellus jamesi) nesting and brooding habitats in the Little Missouri National Grasslands of southwestern North Dakota were evaluated. Three grazing allotments with deferred-rotation grazing systems and three allotments with season-long grazing systems were randomly selected …

Hypoxia and Ventilation of the Marsupium in the Amphipod, Gammarus Pseudolimnaeus Bousfield
