OBJECTIVES 1) To study how pumas recognize kin and the general mechanisms of inbreeding avoidance in a non-threatened population and to address how this information might inform studies in threatened populations. 2) To measure the link between population size and inbreeding rates in puma concolor in the 4 Southern California locations. 3) To identify whether the kin recognition mechanism is faulty in Southern California population, and if they had to genetically change in order to allow…

The process of mourning is something that is not exclusive to any time or society, but there is great variation in the actual practices that this process creates. In particular, the specific material goods utilized to create an outward show of of this process of mourning is one that not only fluctuates, but is constantly shaped by the surrounding culture. This is particularly evident when examining the system of grief within nineteenth century England. Eventually becoming a society that was…

Summary Antisocial activities, such as aggression, psychoticism, and the tendency to rape and murder, is a severe problem in society. Although researchers still relate this activity to one’s personality and environmental factors, geneticists are taking a closer look at the correlation between these types of behaviors and the length of AR-CAG repeat lengths in males. From a geneticist view, it is hypothesized that the shorter the CAG repeat length, the more AR activity there will be. The androgen…

This past summer I had been working on the oncology floor as a nursing extern. There is one patient I will never forget. This patient had come in with stage four brain cancer. I remember the other nurses talking to me about how they remembered the same patient coming in two years earlier. She was diagnosed with stage two cancer on that day. Her husband, her two children, and her five grandchildren came into visit her often. She was getting radiation and steroids to see if that would help with…

From TABLE 7- 24, more observed than expected respondents who walked to visit neighbors reported availability of crosswalks and pedestrians signs as well as short spacing between intersections in their neighborhoods. Intuitively, providing safe locations for pedestrian-vehicular interaction should reduce instances of jaywalking. However studies have shown more pedestrian injuries at intersections and marked crosswalks compared to jay walking. This could be due to risky pedestrian and driver…

in both focal subjects having similar activity patterns despite both being of different genders. Research was also conducted on how daily climate changes would have an effect on the capuchin’s overall activity patterns. Results showed that there was a difference between male and female turfed capuchins in terms of activity patterns. Researchers also noted that changes in the local climate of the San Diego Zoo had little effect on the activity patterns of any of the focal subjects. Total…

John Endler conducted two studies documenting the relationship between guppy coloration patterns in correlation to predation and sexual selection. Endler (1980) references his previous field study (Endler, 1978) in regards to coloration patterns present in the presence and absence of different predators. The relationship that was found there (Endler, 1978) was that in areas of high predation, coloring was less conspicuous and more closely blended to their background, whereas in areas of low…

what the textbook defines a Bridge Learner. “Jack of all trades, a master of none” is a phrase I would use to describe myself. I use my Learning Patterns almost seamlessly. My Learning Patterns scores are Sequence 32, Precision 25, Technical Reasoning 31, and Confluence 28.I use my Sequence and Precision together very well. I…

Case Two: Wal-Mart Arianna Greenwood Texas A&M University—Central Texas Case Two: Wal-Mart Pattern of Discrimination In 1964, Title VII of the United States Civil Rights Act was passed in order to stop classes to be discriminated against (Hartman, DesJardins, & MacDonald, 2018, p. 254). The act was designed to prevent against discrimination against individuals based on age, religion, race, disability, gender, national origin, color, and sometimes sexual orientation (Hartman et…

The three research studies, Kelley and Mirer’s The Simple Act of Voting (1974), Clausen’s Response Validity: Vote Report (1968), and Flannelly, Flannelly, and McLeod’s Comparison of Election Predictions, Voter Certainty and Candidate Choice on Political Polls (1998), all work to improve the explanation of how voters make their decisions when voting. The studies prove that voting predictions are forced to take many other factors into consideration, including time, personal connection, and the…
