Affective responses to environmental influences in immature rats
<p>The purpose of the present investigation is to add to the growing body of knowledge about the behavioral development of rats. It is an enlargement of a study by Roberts (1966) who investigated the effects of quantitative reward shifts on the behavior of immature rats. Roberts' experiment was in …

Environmental Influences On Dwarf Galaxy Evolution: The Group Environment
Galaxy groups are a rich source of information concerning galaxy evolution as they represent a fundamental link between individual galaxies and large scale structures. Nearby groups probe the low end of the galaxy mass function for the dwarf systems that constitute the most numerous extragalactic …

Environmental Influences on Tree-driven Karst Bedrock Physical Weathering
… in addition to root forces to examine the environmental controls on diurnal cycles of forces exerted on the bedrock and to identify how roots responded to wind gusts and rainfall events. Roots of both species exerted higher daily forces between the hours of 10:30 and 23:00, reaching daily …

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Cognitive and Neural Development
… methodological approach, I highlight compounding environmental factors which longitudinally interact to predict developmental outcomes, generate meaningful and valid measures of polygenic propensity, and consider the ways the early environment and polygenic heritability influence and interact to …

Environmental influences on tuna movement patterns in the Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission conducted a small-scale tagging programme (2002-2009) and also a large-scale tagging programme: the Regional Tuna Tagging Programme of the Indian Ocean (RTTP-IO, 2005-2009). Both tagging programmes known as the Indian Ocean Tuna Tagging Project (IOTTP), targeted …

Environmental Influences on Subterranean Termite Foraging Behavior and Bait Acceptance
Reticulitermids were significantly more likely to discover subterranean baits connected by physical guidelines than freestanding baits under both laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory, subterranean termites built significantly longer tunnels adjacent to cellulosic guidelines than …

Environmental influences on banana shrimps of the Sofala Bank, Mozambique Channel
… has been declining, which has been attributed to environmental changes, but no conclusive evidence has been found. This PhD thesis aims to understand the interactive roles of biophysical processes on recruitment of banana shrimps, par ticularly their larvae on the Sofala Bank. It is hypothesized …

Environmental influences on moult and movement strategies in southern African waterfowl
… variable in timing and intensity. I studied the environmental influences on flight-feather moult and movement strategies of southern African waterfowl. Six duck species that are fairly common in most parts of South Africa were selected for the study, namely; Egyptian Geese, Alopochen aegyptiaca, …

Environmental influences on the development of the female honeybee brain Apis mellifera
Für die Honigbiene spielt der Geruchssinn eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Kommunikation innerhalb des Sozialstaates. Kastenspezifische, auf uweltbedingten Einflüssen basierende sowie altersbedingte Unterschiede im olfaktorisch gesteuerten Verhalten liefern ein hervorragendes Modellsystem für diese …

Hormonal regulation and environmental influences in the reproduction of the butterfly Bicyclus anynana
Regarding hormonal control of reproduction, the butterfly Bicyclus anynana belongs to a group of the Lepidoptera, in which egg maturation starts after eclosion, and thus vitellogenesis and choriogenesis seem to depend exclusively on juvenile hormones (JH). Using a JH mimic (pyriproxyfen) and an …

Understanding environmental influences on bioaccumulation of contaminants of emerging concern among fish species.
… and potential to negatively affect human and environmental health. These chemicals have physicochemical properties which make traditional tools for assessing bioaccumulation, like log KOW, difficult, as both groups can be ionized at environmentally relevant pHs. Therefore, I aim to better …

Environmental Influences on Exercise Self-Efficacy, Social Physique Anxiety, and Physical Self-Esteem
The findings of the present have theoretical implications such that evidence was provided demonstrating the influence of evaluative environments on social cognitive constructs. Although several hypotheses were unsubstantiated, the unique approach adopted here suggests several avenues for future …
