Investigating the Role of Long Distance Dispersal in the Response of Stream Fishes to Urbanization
… and February 2017 with a portable PIT antenna. Movement data was analyzed with R package Mclust to estimate the proportion of mobile and stationary components for each population as well as parameter estimates (mean, variance) for each component. <em>L. auritus</em> in the urban site exhibited a …

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Driven Origami-Inspired Large-Elongation Soft Robot Modules
… robots while also being able to perform a wide range of tasks based on their configuration. Such characteristics make them especially applicable for operations near humans. Though soft robots and reconfigurable soft robots have come a long way, they still cannot achieve motion over large ranges …

Population Ecology of Rocky Mountain Elk in the Black Hills, South Dakota and Wyoming
… to collect 167,707 locations to determine home range, movement ecology, and macroscale resource selection of 48 adult cow elk. We documented elk using a variety of migration strategies (obligate migrator, resident, conditional migrator, disperser); the majority of the population (58%) was …

Movement Patterns of White-Tailed Deer in East Central South Dakota Relative to Winter Ranges and Management Unit Boundaires
Knowledge of movement patterns, both migratory and daily, cause-specific mortality, spatial and temporal survival rates, and resource use patterns are crucial in understanding white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population dynamics. In the agricultural Midwest, survival and cause-specific …

Visualisation of dynein complexes in vitro and inside cells
… How multiple dynein/dynactin complexes are arranged on cargo for long range transport in cells is also not clear. To understand this, I used cryo-electron microscopy (EM) combined with biochemical analysis and fluorescence microscopy to study dynein in vitro and in cells. In Chapter 2, I …

Factors Influencing Ectoparasitism on Western Fence Lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis): Host Sex, Testosterone, Reproductive Condition, and Behavior
… and the second involving behavioral patterns and movement. However, another potential reason for why male lizards, particularly those with high circulating testosterone, have higher ectoparasite intensities than female and low testosterone male lizards is that the parasites preferentially choose …

Population dynamics and demography of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) on the East Iceland highland plateau 1940–2015 A comparative study of two herds
… in area 2 in 2009–2011 were used to define home ranges, analyse movements and utilization of different habitats. Monitoring of population dynamics with various annual counts and data on physical condition collected by hunters were used to compare the herds. Apart from hunting, car accidents were …

Relationship of Ruffed Grouse Home Range Size and Movement to Landscape Characteristics in Southwestern Virginia
… on ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) home range size and movement, and examined grouse selection for specific landscape characteristics and cover types. Grouse home ranges and movement patterns derived from telemetry data gathered from fall 1996 through fall 1998 were overlaid onto a GIS …
