Abstract:

The social structure of animal societies can be instrumental to the evolution and maintenance of animal behaviour. Animal social networks (ASNs) provide a framework with which to visualise, quantify and analyse animals' social structure. The work in this thesis incorporates two areas of ASN research. The first area is the analysis of sparse group-derived data. Observation of group memberships is a widely used method to uncover social preferences. Here this method is used to probe the social structure of a population of Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata). The network is analysed to ascer

Abstract:

Synthetic biomedical implants are used to replace diseased tissues and organs. Unfortunately, these implants often fail due to a lack of biocompatibility and poor integration by the recipient. This implant failure is associated with the formation of an avascular fibrous capsule and chronic inflammatory response. Additionally, small diameter vascular grafts have complications associated with surface thrombogenenicity and intimal hyperplasia. Porous polymers are often incorporated in the construction of biomedical devices because they permit tissue integration and improved biocompatibility. Whil

Abstract:

Building on the theoretical/methodological approach to history and historical investigation evident in the work of Michel Foucault, the thesis takes the form of an archaeology/genealogy of human/nonhuman animal association, placing a particular focus on the practice of vivisection. The first chapter examines the theoretical/methodological approach taken by Foucault in his archaeological and genealogical analyses. It outlines the theoretical and methodological tools that Foucault provides, and locates the research within a coherent analytical framework consistent with a Foucauldian analysis. Ch

Abstract:

BB rats spontaneously develop an insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus strikingly similar to the syndrome observed in man. The disorder requires the presence of multiple susceptibility genes and unknown environmental factors. At least one susceptibility gene resides within the u haplotype of the rat major histocompatibility complex (RT1). Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of genomic DNA from rats generated from a series of intercrosses between diabetic BB rats and Buffalo rats (RT1$ sp{ rm b})$ demonstrated that animals heterozygous throughout the RT1 developed IDDM.

The human neuromuscular system undergoes substantial reorganization after the age of 60 years. Many of these processes have significant functional consequences on the ability of old adults to perform normal activities of daily living. This thesis focuses on the function of an intrinsic hand muscle, the first dorsal interosseous, which is located between the thumb and index finger and is solely responsible for abduction of the index finger about the first metacarpophalangeal joint. The first dorsal interosseous also contributes to flexion of the index finger, and is especially important to the

Abstract:

Predation risk strongly influences the ecology and evolution of animal behaviors. However, anti-predator responses differ among species. Tradeoffs between anti-predator abilities and foraging efficiencies across habitats can promote the coexistence of ecologically similar species. In general, larger animals may better exploit riskier habitats; smaller animals, resources at low densities. I studied two montane ground squirrels Spermophilus lateralis and Tamias minimus in Colorado. Using food trays, I determined that the smaller T. minimus foraged more efficiently near meadow edges and was compe

Abstract:

Body condition scoring is a technique used to noninvasively assess fat reserves. It provides an objective estimate to describe the current and past nutritional status of the dairy cow and has been associated with increased disease risk and breeding success. Traditionally body condition scores are taken manually by visual appraisal on a 1 to 5 scale, in one-quarter increments. However, recent studies have shown the potential of automating the body condition scoring of cows using images. The first objective was to estimate the likelihood of disease development and breeding success, using odds ra

Abstract:

Telomeres form protective caps at the ends of linear chromosomes. They consist of repetitive DNA nucleotides and associated proteins of the shelterin complex. In vitro telomeres become shorter during cell division and when a critical shortness is reached they trigger a DNA damage response that leads to replicative senescence or apoptosis. Telomere shortening is a recognised hallmark of cellular ageing and seems to be also associated with organismal ageing. Telomere length (TL) and the rate of shortening vary across individuals and several studies have found that short telomeres and fast telome

Les relations entre plantes et herbivores occupent une part importante des travaux concernant le rôle de la biodiversité dans le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Les effets de la diversité des plantes sur les herbivores et la phytophagie se répartissent le long d’un continuum entre résistance et susceptibilité par association, ces deux concepts décrivant respectivement la réduction ou au contraire l’augmentation des dégâts causés par les herbivores avec la diversité des plantes dans les communautés végétales. Si de nombreux travaux menés dans différents écosystèmes suggèrent que la résistance p

Abstract:

Cervical stenotic myelopathy (CSM) is an important musculoskeletal and neurologic disease of the horse. Clinical disease occurs due to malformations of the vertebrae in the neck causing stenosis of the cervical vertebral canal and subsequent spinal cord compression. The disease is multifactorial in nature, therefore a clearer understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of CSM will allow for improved management and therapeutic practices. This thesis examines issues of equine CSM diagnosis, skeletal tissue pathology, and inherited genetic determinants utilizing advances in biomedical imaging

Cette thèse propose une analyse des associations de protection et de défense animale dans les pays occidentaux (Europe et Amérique du Nord) à travers l'étude de certaines d'entre elles, sélectionnées pour leur particularité, et de l'évolution de leurs combats dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. La première partie est consacrée aux sources théoriques de la protection animale contemporaine à travers les textes religieux, les écrits philosophiques consacrés aux animaux - avec l'émergence du concept de droits des animaux - et les lois de protection animale depuis leur instauration, la première é

L'étude bio-écologique des peuplements acridiens du Bas-Languedoc est envisagée sous deux angles complémentaires, l'un synchronique, l'autre diachronique. Au cours de la campagne extensive de relevés, cent trois biotopes, prospectés selon un plan d'échantillonnage stratifié, font l'objet d'inventaires floristiques, mésologiques et acridologiques. L'interprétation des observations de terrain soumises à l'analyse des données permet la description des principaux types de milieu du Bas-Languedoc par le biais de leurs associations végétales ou de leurs caractéristiques mésologiques.

Abstract:

Learning allows organisms to predict and prepare for events in the environment that are not sufficiently regular that responses to each situation could be genetically hardwired. A possible categorization of what can be learned is as follows: First, an animal may learn <I>that </I>an event is likely to happen. This means learning predictive relations between events, or the probability that an event A occurs with an event B, rather than independently. Second, they may form a representation of the magnitude of the event. Third, animals may learn <I>when</I> an event is likely to happen, the tempo

Abstract:

While it's clear that the objectification of women is a prominent feature of Western society, it is far less clear what it actually means to be objectified. Philosophers, feminist scholars and psychologist agree that objectification involves a denial of humanity, however, the nature of this dehumanization has yet to be explained. Although existing research provides evidence that objectified women are associated both with objects and animals, no research has examined the conditions under which women are likely to be dehumanized by one form or another. Here, I propose that animalization, chara

Abstract:

Chickens are ideal model organism to improve understanding of several research areas as phylogenetic, embryology, biomedicine, livestock, and have recently been suggested as a promising model for epigenetic studies. In the livestock area, chickens are source of protein to humans and had been selected to achieve a high production standards based on genetic breeding by the traditional selection. We are now in the genomics and epigenomics era and it is time be concern about the use of new tools to improve selection not only thinking about production, but also in the health and welfare of animals.

Abstract:

One basic requisite for rationality is that choices are consistent across situations. Animals commonly violate rationality premises as evidenced, for example, by context-dependent choices, and such apparent irrationalities stand as paradoxes that instigate re-examination of some assumptions in behaviour ecological modelling. The goal of the present thesis was to study the psychological mechanisms underlying apparent irrationalities in order to assess the functional implications of general processes of valuation and choice. A common thread through the different studies is the hypothesis that mo
