Abstract:

Hector's dolphins are threatened with local extinction by entanglement in coastal gillnets. This thesis provides data on population biology, social organization and behaviour of Hector's dolphins that help assess human impacts on their populations. To estimate population growth, I integrated anatomical studies which estimated longevity and age at first reproduction, with photographic field studies which estimated reproductive rate and survival rate. Sixty incidentally caught and beach-cast dolphins were aged from the growth layers in their teeth. Maximum age was 19 years for females and 20 for

I studied the behaviour and ecology of social organization in a Caribbean surgeonfish, the blue tang (Acanthurus coeruleus). In chapter 1,1 identify and describe the social modes exhibited by adult blue tangs and include the first description of adult territoriality in this species. Adults in the population were either territorial or nonterritorial. Non-territorial fish formed schools and wandered, while territorial fish never schooled but sometimes wandered from their territory. In chapter 2,1 explore potential determinants of the variation in the social organization in an attempt to explain

The aim of the thesis is to discuss the key driving factors influencing the success of innovation in high-tech firms based in Sweden. The thesis will discuss key determinant factors and how those factors are connecting with each other. Organizational innovation and Organizational culture relationship have been under research for many years. The success of organizational innovation can be captured by various factors. Similarly, the organizational culture can be captured by different factors. During the research process, we came across various theories and this thesis is based on Rao and Weintra

Abstract:

Mionectes oleagineus (Aves, Tyrannidae) is a small, sexually monomorphic, lek breeding bird. The behaviour and mating system of this species were studied on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula over two years. In this thesis I ask three questions: 1) What kind of social organization does M. oleagineus exhibit? 2) Does habitat influence male display dispersion? and 3) What is the function of song in attracting mates and in male-male interactions? In Chapter 2, I describe M. oleagineus' social organization. There were three categories of males: territory owners, satellites and floaters. The latter 2 cate

Abstract:

The breeding ecology, social organization and communicatory behaviour of the brown creeper (Finschia novaeseelandiae) were studied. Brown creepers lay large eggs, young develop slowly and incubation and nestling periods are long. Mortality in adults is low but high in juveniles. I suggest that the species' breeding strategy is an adaptation to the mild coastal climate of New Zealand. Members of breeding pairs remain together and defend territories throughout the winter. Juveniles form sibling flocks and this association of close relatives may help explain winter mobbing behaviour in the spec

Abstract:

Workplace misbehaviour is seen to be a neglected feature of organizational study (Ackroyd and Thompson; Vardi and Weitz, 2004). Where research has been undertaken into misbehaviour the emphasis tends fall into two broad categories. First of all, organizational behaviour theorists use the term misbehaviour as a means to highlight how the ‘negative’ behaviour of employees gets in the way of formal organizational goals. Secondly, radical sociologists tend to use the term misbehaviour as a means to critique Foucauldian labour process theory. Here an argument is made that suggests the disciplinary

Dissertação de Mestrado em Comportamento Organizacional<br>Tendo como intenção definir um modelo causal explicativo da génese dos acidentes organizacionais, Reason (1997) defendeu um modelo considerando que a normal trajectória do acidente dentro de uma organização pressupõe que um perigo ou ameaça atravesse as defesas existentes, devido à conjugação de falhas manifestas -ou actos inseguros- praticados pelos indivíduos e falhas latentes- relacionadas com factores organizacionais ou factores inerentes ao local de trabalho.
