Distribution, Temperature Selection, and Gonadal Development of Fishes In A Power Plant Cooling Reservoir
The distribution, temperature selection, and gonadal development of fishes in the Big Stone Power Plant cooling reservoir were examined from July 1982 through July 1983. A total of 46.8% of the fishes captured during this study were from the discharge area, while 31.8% and 21.4% of the fish …

Distribution, Movement, and Temperature Selection of Adult Walleye and Muskellunge in a Power Plant Cooling Reservoir
<p>Distribution and habitat selection of five adult walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) and one adult muskellunge (Esox masquinongy), in a power plant cooling reservoir, were determined using temperature-sensitive ultrasonic transmitters, A total of 342 locations were obtained during the …

Seasonal regulation of the circadian rhythms of behavioural temperature selection and locomotor activity in Australian sleepy lizards (Tiliqua rugosa, gray; reptilia: scincidae)
… in mediating seasonal adjustments in the body temperature and locomotoractivity patterns in the Australian sleepy lizard, Tiliqua rugosa (Gray 1827). The first component of this study investigated whether daily rhythms of behavioural thermoregulation and locomotor activity that T. rugosa …

DISPERSAL MECHANISMS OF EMBRYONIC AND LARVAL BURBOT (LOTA LOTA)
… changes and larval phototaxis, startle response, temperature selection, rheotaxis, and lateral line development. Embryos showed a significant increase in buoyancy as they approach hatching but are negatively buoyant. Larvae showed a 25% increase in startle responses from 30 to 75 days post …

Design, prototyping, and testing of an apparatus for establishing a linear temperature gradient in experimental fish tanks
… the ability to select their surrounding water temperature in order to react to a simulated viral infection with an optimized immune response. Although countless immunology studies have been performed with zebrafish to date, their validity came into question in early 2013 when it was …

Foraging, Feeding, Energetics, and Environment: Interactions Between Physiology and Ecology of Gila Monsters
… of Gila monsters, the effects of feeding on body temperature selection, and the ability of individuals to physiologically control heat exchange. These investigations set the stage for the ecological importance of body temperature regulation, and also provide a baseline by which to appropriately …

Behavior and habitat selection of largemouth bass in response to dynamic environmental variables with a focus on dissolved oxygen
… fish habitat. Additionally, high surface temperatures can also contribute to the loss of preferred habitat. Understanding how fish interact with and respond to their environment is a critical part of fisheries research and management. My research investigates the effects that low dissolved …
