(1985)Eight small Texas towns, Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Rockport, Hearne, Caldwell, Decatur, Pilot Point and Celina, were visited in order to observe their teenager's weekend night activities. These observations were used to ...
-
(2012-12-06)All complex organisms possess a nervous system which they use to monitor environmental and internal stimuli. In higher vertebrates, the nervous system is comprised of billions of cells which form highly plastic neural ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Photoidentification surveys of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) were conducted from December of 2002 through December of 2003 in Chocolate Bay, Texas, and the adjacent Gulf of Mexico area. The research represented ...
-
(2016-05-06)A behavioral ecology perspective on cetaceans in the Southern California Bight (SCB) can contribute to science-based adaptive management in the context of expanding anthropogenic activities. Objectives were to (1) identify ...
-
(2015-08-12)Organisms vary at the individual and population level in many ecologically relevant traits. This study documents and quantifies colony-level variation in ecologically important behaviors of a widespread invasive social ...
-
(2012-07-16)The nervous system coordinates a sequence of muscle movements to give rise to animal behaviors. In complex invertebrates or lab-studied vertebrates, due to the large number of cells in their nervous systems and the ...
-
(2010-07-14)The circuits that allow organisms to control behavioral timing need to be tightly regulated to ensure execution of appropriate environmental responses. Disrupting such regulation results in individuals unable to perform ...
-
(2018-08-05)This dissertation uses experimental economics methods and biometric tools to test for the consistency of individual preferences and analyze how such preferences are affected by states of cognitive impairment and resource ...
-
As the global human footprint increases, animals are forced to adapt biologically and behaviorally. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) show advanced early behavioral plasticity to their environment especially in ...
-
(2009-05-15)Post-release survival of hatchery fishes is imperative to the success of any supplemental stocking program. The purpose of this research was to identify differences between hatchery and wild red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) ...

(Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1977)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)Field work on the ecological and behavioral relationships or the tour species of skunks of Trans Pecos Texas was initiated in June 1968 and concluded in June 1973. The bulk of the research was conducted on a permanent study ...
-
(2019-03-29)Cattle display oral stereotypic behavior in the form of non-nutritive oral behaviors (NNOB). Stereotypic NNOBs, hypothesized to be caused by dietary challenges, include tongue rolling, bar licking, and ground licking. The ...
-
(2010-07-14)The Behavior Education Program was implemented with four students at a large sub-urban elementary school in central Texas. The elementary school has a diverse population of 750 students and was implementing Tier 1 interventions ...
-
(2012-10-19)Many factors affect the productivity of songbirds. Which vegetation types the birds inhabit, nest-site characteristics, and adult behavior at the nest may affect predation and parasitism frequencies, fecundity, and nest ...
-
(2018-05-29)This dissertation contributes to our understanding of anthropogenic effects on wildlife, a central question in the growing field of conservation behavior. I present three case studies of coastal delphinid species in diverse ...

-
(2015-05-08)Lighting is an important factor in raising poultry and has been shown to impact behavior as well as physical aspects of birds. To investigate how light may impact poultry embryos differently depending on egg shell color ...
-
(2010-07-14)The primary intention of this project is to determine the driving factors that would encourage environmental responsibility on a college campus. After observing increases in "global average air and ocean temperatures," the ...
