Abstract:

Sauger Sander canadensis are a native top level predator and popular sport fish. They are native to large, turbid midwestern rivers and are a highly migratory species that relies on unrestricted access to specific habitats throughout their lifespan. Due to specific habitat requirements and popularity as a sport fish, Sauger are in decline across much of their range. Habitat alterations including barriers, channelization and sedimentation, as well as overharvest, have resulted in population declines. Sauger are often subject to relatively high levels of exploitation because of their tendency to

Abstract:

This research investigated the effects of coordinating rodent control across areas up to 400 ha, using conventional and alternative strategies, to see if it was possible to reduce rat numbers and to keep them at a lower level compared with uncoordinated control. The aims were to reduce the rat numbers, reduce the amount of rodenticide used over time and to reduce the risk of secondary poisoning of non-target animals. Rodenticide loads in rat carcasses were investigated using historical and new samples from Berkshire, Leicestershire and Yorkshire in order to quantify risk to non-target predator

Abstract:

Sharks are particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. Although catsharks are an important component of the near-shore marine biodiversity in South Africa and most of the species are endemic, little is known about their movement patterns, home range and population size. With an increasing number of recreational fishers this information is crucial for their conservation. The aims of this study were threefold. Firstly, to identify and analyze existing data sources on movement patterns and population dynamics for four catshark species: pyjama (Poroderma africanum), leopard (P. pantherinum), puf

Abstract:

This was 53 mm longer (p < 0.001) than the mean length of spawning fish taken from this same location in 1981 (425 mm, TL, n = 286). Sub adult flannelmouth were common in the Paria in 1981 but no post-larval fish < 379 mm, TL were caught in 1992 or 1993. There is no evidence that juvenile flannelmouth have reared in the Paria River/Glen Canyon Area in the last 12 years. However, some adult fish appear to enter the population from downstream locations. In 1992 and 1993, spawning

Abstract:

This thesis examines the origins and impact of fascist population policy. The 'battle for the birthrate' inspired major social and institutional reforms under the dictatorship. Yet the question of why the regime should embark upon a pronatalist campaign remains largely unexplored. The study traces the origins of Mussolini's demographic campaign to the eugenics movement. This thesis begins with an analysis of the meaning of race in Italian scientific culture. A central concern is to show how the debates of prewar science shaped the agenda set by the fascist regime.

Abstract:

The maintenance of function in an ageing population is essential to ensure current and future health in older people. The ability to walk independently in a range of situations and environments is key to successful ageing. Age-related gait adaptations including spatial-temporal parameters, joint kinematics and kinetics have been identified to be a consequence of the ageing process. For example, reduced walking speed and increased pelvic tilt are suggestive of compensation strategies to minimise falls. The majority of research has compared young adults (20-40 yrs) to older adults (≥ 50 yrs), ca

Abstract:

The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is an imperiled shorebird that inhabits sandy beaches along the North American Atlantic Coast.

On the coast of North Carolina, Piping Plovers breed in areas with large amounts of recreational and tourism use. Beach recreation is known to reduce nest success, chick survival, and potentially fitness in other parts of the species' range. To redu

Despite the growing importance of both destination image and event tourism, a research gap exists when the two fields are combined. Destination image and event tourism have been subject to separate research efforts in the tourism field, however there has been little evidence of research in how events can affect destination image. The thesis attempts to address the research gap that currently exists by using Canberra, the National Capital of Australia and two annual events in the Capital - Stegbar Canberra 400 and Floriade 2002 as case studies. The thesis illustrates the importance of destinati

Abstract:

Amphibians, because of their semi-permeable skin, sensitivity to changing microclimates, and important role in ecosystems, are often viewed as indicators of ecosystem health. They make excellent organisms for studies on the effects of silvicultural practices. My goal was to provide recommendations for forest management in the southern Appalachians so that harvesting operations are compatible with maintaining healthy populations of forest amphibians. I tested previously created habitat models that determined the most important habitat characteristics for salamanders. I counted salamanders

Abstract:

The Staunton River is a high gradient, second order stream approximately 6 km in length located on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park, VA. In June 1995, a catastrophic flood and debris flow altered the instream habitat and <i>Salvelinus fontinalis</i> population of the Staunton River. The debris flow scoured the streambed, deposited new substrate materials, removed trees from the riparian zone, and eliminated fish from a 1.9km section of the stream. By June 1998, both young-of-year (YOY) and age 1+ <i>S. fontinalis</i> had recolonized the debris flow af
