Shared Habitats: the MoverWitness Paradigm
This practice-led research thesis analyses and visualises central components of Authentic Movement, with particular reference to the work of Dr Janet Adler. By contextualising and comparing this improvisation method with modern, post-modern and contemporary movement practices the author describes …

Larval dispersal between hydrothermal vent habitats
Hydrothermal vents are isolated, short-term habitats that support unique biotic assemblages with relatively high biomass utilizing an unusual energy source. How these communities establish themselves and maintain species identity despite their isolation and impermanence is a significant question in …

Habitats online: A collaborative telecommunications project
… collaborative telecommunications project called Habitats Online. Review of the literature indicates that collaborative telecomunication projects, like Habitats Online, engage students in rich learning experiences and establish a network of future citizens who have a greater understanding of our …

Marine parasites in island-like disturbed habitats
… diversity and abundance, especially in isolated habitats, which present challenges to introduction and establishment. In this thesis, I investigate habitat isolation and disturbance as drivers of parasite diversity, with an emphasis on parasite life history strategies related to colonization and …

Attraction and risk in urban bird habitats
… campuses, and cemeteries. In addition to managed habitats, birds may use abandoned property that has been reclaimed by vegetation and associated spontaneous, biological communities. Such urban habitats may provide valuable resources for birds and other wildlife; however, these sites often contain …

A Network Communications Strategy for Planetary Habitats
… have become key design constraints in planetary habitats. This thesis develops and evaluates a method for integrating communications infrastructure within the architectural design of planetary habitats. To lay the groundwork and baseline for required data and systems in a planetary habitat, …

Modelling South African cold-water coral habitats
… known about energy flows associated with these habitats. The degree to which the benthic ecosystems containing cold-water corals are linked to the overlying pelagic ecosystems is also poorly understood. Observational studies have indicated that fish abundance is greater in the waters surrounding …

Predator Behavior and Prey Demography in Patchy Habitats
… Florida scrub habitat and avoided wetland habitats. The negative effect of saurophagous snake abundance best explained differences in S. woodi survival rates among patches of Florida scrub. Further loss and fragmentation of Florida scrub habitat will likely have a strong negative impact …

A Power Scheduling Software Package for Planetary Habitats
… Space Station. The next step is building habitats on the Moon or Mars. However, these habitats will have to be nearly self-sustaining because replenishment from Earth will be costly. Power for life support and other electrical devices will be limited and must be monitored and allocated. …

Diversification of Antbirds Associated with Amazonian Flooded Forest Habitats
Rivers represent one of the few geographic barriers that bisect, and promote allopatric speciation, in an otherwise continuous landscape of the Amazon basin. In contrast to Amazonian understory forests birds, which replace each other across river barriers, a strong barrier effect has not been …

An assessment of Eddy Correlation technique in marine habitats
… and oxygen flux play an important role in marine habitats and ecosystems. The eddy correlation (EC) technique is a key aquatic flux measurement technique to measure and calculate vertical turbulent fluxes within aquatic boundary layers without disturbing environmental hydrodynamics. This method is …

Comparative analysis of meiobenthic diversity across habitats in ancient lakes
… meiofaunal communities across various lake habitats to reveal broader biodiversity patterns and identify the primary factors shaping community structure. To examine the environmental drivers influencing benthic communities at both local and broad scales, data from 23 studies across 129 sites …
