▼ This study used the process dissociation procedure to investigate the effects of three variables on conscious and unconscious influences of memory for object location. The purpose was not only to provide insight into conscious and unconscious influences of memory for object location, but also to obtain support for the assumption that the two influences operate independently. Such support can be obtained by demonstrating that a manipulation affects one component of memory but leaves the other invariant. The three variables used in the present study included dividing attention at study and test, the age of the participants, and habit strength. In the first experiment, when attention was divided at study, the conscious estimate was significantly reduced under conditions of divided attention. This result was also found when attention was divided at test, although the effect only approached significance. Moreover. when attention was divided at study, there was a tendency for the unconscious estimate to be greater under full attention than under divided attention. When attention was manipulated at test, however, the unconscious estimate did not vary across the two attention conditions. The results of Experiment 1, therefore, did not provide strong evidence for the assumption of independence. Such evidence, however, was obtained in Experiments 2 and 3 where a double dissociation between conscious and unconscious influences of memory for object location was observed. Specifically, in Experiment 2 it was found that age affected the conscious component but left the unconscious component invariant, whereas in Experiment 3 it was found that manipulating habit strength affected the unconscious influence of memory for spatial location but not the conscious influence. The results of these experiments are discussed in terms of their importance for research on memory and aging and systems theories of memory, as well as for the assumption that conscious and unconscious influences of memory operate independently.

▼ Benzodiazepine (BZ) drugs, such as diazepam (Valium®) and chlordiazepoxide (Librium®), are widely prescribed for their sedative/anxiolytic properties but also impair mnemonic processes in both humans and animals. In the Morris water maze, an aversively motivated spatial learning task, BZs impair spatial learning but spare retention/performance. This spatial learning deficit cannot be attributed to sedation, gross sensorimotor impairments, hypothermia, state-dependent learning, or reductions of escape motivation (anxiolysis). The following series of experiments sought to further characterize the neurochemical, neuroanatomical, and electrophysiological substrates of BZ-induced impairments of spatial learning. In Experiment I, the role of endogenous BZs in spatial learning was assessed. The BZ receptor antagonists flumazenil (Ro 15-1788) and CGS 8216, as well as the BZ receptor inverse-agonist β-carboline, enhanced spatial learning in an inverted-U dose-dependent manner, suggesting that endogenously released BZs impede optimal learning. In Experiment II, the role of the BZ ω1 receptor subtype in spatial learning was assessed. CL 218,872, a selective agonist for the BZ ω1 receptor subtype, impaired spatial learning in a dose-dependent and flumazenil-reversible manner, thereby implicating the ω1 receptor subtype in BZ-induced amnesia. Together these results suggest that endogenous BZs activity, like BZ drugs, is detrimental to spatial learning and that specific BZ receptors mediate this impairment. Several neurochemical systems are important for spatial learning in the MWM and arc influenced by BZs. The contributions of two of these neurochemical systems, the opioids and acetylcholine (ACh), to the spatial learning deficit produced by BZs were assessed. In Experiment III, a better understanding of the role of opioid systems in spatial learning was sought. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, impaired spatial learning in a dose-dependent and naloxone-reversible manner. However, morphine also impaired performance and escape to a visible platform and its effects on spatial learning could be attenuated by increasing the escape incentive (colder water). This impairment pattern suggests that morphine impairs spatial learning by reducing escape motivation. Because both BZs and cold water immersion increase endogenous opioid activity, it seemed possible that the combination of drug- and water-induced opioid release might mediate the spatial learning deficit produced by BZs. In Experiment IV, naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist, completely blocked the spatial learning deficit produced by morphine but failed, even at a higher dose, to block the spatial learning deficit produced by diazepam . Conversely, flumazenil, a BZ receptor antagonist, completely blocked the spatial learning deficit produced by diazepam but failed to affect the amnesic effects of morphine. Together, these findings strongly suggest that the spatial learning deficit produced by BZs is not due to enhanced opioid activity.… Advisors/Committee Members: Skelton, Ronald William (supervisor).

▼ The nervous system is a complex organ that functions in most metazoans to sense and respond to a constantly changing world. How the nervous system does this is a major focus of systems-level neuroscience. This dissertation investigates the neural basis of the sensorimotor transformation underlying a spatial orientation strategy in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Motile organisms rely on spatial orientation strategies to navigate to environments that are conducive to organismal fitness and comfort, e.g. environments with the correct temperature, light level, or access to food and mates. As such, spatial orientation strategies as a class represent a key behavior common to most forms of life on earth. To explore the behavioral mechanism used by C. elegans for spatial orientation, we designed and manufactured a microfluidic device that breaks the feedback loop between self-motion and environmental change by partially restraining the animal. The device takes advantage of laminar flow at small scale to provide distinct environments across the dorsoventral undulation that constitutes locomotion in this animal without using a physical barrier. This device allowed us to conclude that worms use the change in chemical concentration sensed between lateral extremes of the locomotion cycle to direct forward locomotion toward a favorable stimulus, an orientation strategy termed klinotaxis. We then investigated the neuronal basis of this behavior using laser ablation, calcium imaging, and optogenetic stimulation. We found a minimal neuronal network for klinotaxis to sodium chloride including the ASE, AIY, AIZ, and SMB neuron classes that displays left/right asymmetry across the sensory neuron, interneuron, and motor neuron levels. We extended these results by ablating other neurons that have been implicated in klinotaxis in other studies. Finally, we imaged the ASE neurons during klinotaxis in microfluidic device and found that these neurons are active on the timescale of individual head swings. Additionally, we found anecdotal evidence that photostimulation of ASE neurons expressing the light sensitive ion channel Channel Rhodopsin (CHR2) is sufficient to stimulate klinotaxis behavior. This dissertation includes previously published co-authored material. Advisors/Committee Members: Phillips, Patrick (advisor).

▼ Investigating large-scale patterns in ecology, biogeography and evolution is important to aid our knowledge of species diversity. With the current natural and anthropogenic environmental changes, it is necessary to gather information that can be used for developing models of global ecosystems to assist with conservation. To achieve this, we need to establish basic ecological theories and re-examine older theories to ensure that our current understanding—which is often based on small datasets consisting of a couple of individuals or species—is applicable when expanded across communities, populations and species. The aim of this thesis was to examine the driving influences behind macroecological patterns in mammals, including spatial behaviour and foraging ecology. The investigation of spatial behaviour and foraging ecology will provide useful information on the area required by species, trophic interactions and community structure. More specifically, I was interested in how behavioural changes that have occurred following the colonisation of the marine environment has influenced patterns in home range size, predator-prey relationships and trophic level position. Using published and empirical data and comparative methodologies, I examine the effect of body size, diet, energetics and environment upon home range size, predator-prey relationships and trophic position across mammals. I identify that body mass has been the key factor driving of home range size, prey size, energetics and trophic position in mammals, explaining between 46 and 85% of the variance. However, whether a species lives within the marine or terrestrial environment has also influenced macroecological patterns, with marine mammals having home ranges 1.2 times larger, sitting 1.3 trophic levels higher and have evolved two distinct feeding strategies compared to their terrestrial counterparts. I demonstrate the ability to utilise published data to re-examine ecological theories and highlights that when developing integrative models, we need to incorporate the possibility of phylogenetic effects, a range of ecological variables, and species representative of the diversity within a group. I identify the driving influences of macroecological patterns and show how living in different environments has impacted upon mammalian spatial behaviour, foraging, food web structure and energetics.

▼ As increasing competitiveness in a local broadband access market, stimulated by the explosive growing of the Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and the advances in technology in recent years, strategic location planning is important for a firm to increase the market share by expanding geographic coverage. Most previous competitive location studies have paid little attention to the broadband access market, and therefore those studies may not represent adequately the actual broadband market situations. Moreover, significant components and methodologies in competitive location modeling have not been addressed in an integrated view. With an emphasis on the characterizing features of the broadband market and competitive structure, this thesis seeks to address various spatial and non-spatial issues in competitive location modeling and provide an outline of methodological development in a single research framework. This research utilizes a wide variety of concepts and methods in many academic fields, such as customer behavioral theory, spatial economics, and computational geometry, as well as location theory and Geographic Information System (GIS). In particular, different customer choice rules indicative of behavioral complexity are mathematically incorporated and compared for capturing, spatial configuration, and computational difficulty. Also, strategically stable location pairs among firms, known as spatial equilibria, are explored in various market situations such as co-location, customer inertia, and different initial market share in a hypothetical environment. GIS and spatial optimization are used in a broadly coupled manner for implementation of the suggested models throughout the entire thesis. The geometric concepts and techniques supported by GIS functions are also utilized to enhance solution procedures. A hybrid approach combining exact and heuristic ways is also introduced for identifying spatial equilibria. Results empirically confirm the significance of the choice rule in estimating the capture by new entries, the positive relationship between behavioral complexity in a model and computational effort, and the spatial distribution of new entries, which follows density of economy in general and stresses the spatial niches among existing systems. Regarding spatial equilibria, the equilibrium points are significantly influenced by the firm’s entrance type, as well as by customer loyalty and the market presence initially defined.

The age-old dichotomy of nature versus nurture continues to spark debate in the context of plastic behaviour, and not just when it comes to humans. Every year there is further evidence illustrating how individual experience shapes personality, behaviour and cognitive ability, all of which are fundamental aspects of an individual’s phenotype. Ultimately, experience is intricately linked to an individual’s environment, and numerous studies have focused on population differences in behaviour. Key explanatory variables include variation in predation, competition and habitat stability/physical complexity. Despite their evolutionary history being embedded in ancient lineages, and the associated popularist idea that they are ‘simple and primitive,’ fishes demonstrate highly flexible behaviour. Moreover, they have become one of the leading vertebrate taxa in behavioural plasticity studies using comparative approaches, not least because of the wide range of aquatic habitats 20they occupy.

In marine coastal environments, the intertidal zone is a highly dynamic habitat and home to one of the largest and most successful groups of fishes (>2000 spp), the family Gobiidae. This family is well-adapted to the intertidal zone morphologically and behaviourally, both aspects of which differ widely in species occupying different micro-habitats. Their sheer diversity offers exciting opportunities for comparative studies which attempt to untangle the relative influence of genes versus experience in shaping behaviour.

Despite the diversity of intertidal gobies, niche overlap is common and competition for resources plays a vital role in behaviours such as foraging, suggesting that behavioural plasticity would be beneficial when securing resources. Furthermore, food resources in the intertidal zone vary on temporal and spatial scales, so that individuals with flexible behaviour can adjust to these changes and thus reap the fitness benefits. Chapter 2 of this thesis focuses on the niche overlap of two sympatric goby species, one rockpool specialist and one sand specialist, and how this overlap changes seasonally and ontogenetically. In addition, the trophic niche of a third allopatric species was investigated, to determine how diet changes seasonally and ontogenetically in the absence of interspecific…

▼ The New Zealand sea lion, Phocarctos hookeri, is endemic to New Zealand and has only three breeding colonies, all situated in the sub-Antarctic islands. This reduced breeding distribution is the result of human extirpation from most of its pristine range, which included the New Zealand mainland. In 1993, a female bred for the first time on mainland New Zealand, indicating the possible start of the recolonisation. The recolonisation of an urbanised coastline will create interactions between humans, infrastructures and sea lions. No study had however looked at how the New Zealand sea lion uses its terrestrial environment. This study thus aimed to characterise, in space and time, the terrestrial spatial ecology of the female New Zealand sea lions at a breeding colony. Intensive fieldwork at the Sandy Bay breeding colony, Enderby Island, in the Auckland Islands, during two breeding seasons (between December 2001 and March 2003), produced a large dataset of daily Global Positioning System (GPS) locations of branded females onshore (4252 locations) within the study area (0.7 km²). A habitat type map and a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the study area were produced. The analyses were conducted in ArcGIS at three scales: individual, population and habitat. A two-phase pattern, including a harem phase (aggregation of females, area used < 0.003 km²) and a dispersion phase (spread of females, area used > 0.550 km²), was revealed and characterised using Nearest Neighbour Indices. A dispersion model of an average female was produced based on cumulative Minimum Convex Polygons (MCP) and pup mortality was found to be affected by females’ movements on pupping day. The female population was found to move and shift areas used throughout the dispersion phase while the gregariousness of females was considerably modified between the harem phase and the end of the dispersion phase (80 versus 0.3 females per 100 m²). Temporal analyses of habitat use demonstrated a radical change in habitat preferences between the two phases and a gradual change during the dispersion phase. At the end of the season, females preferred sites in forest and at more than 1.1 km from shore. Male aggressiveness and disturbance, habitat properties and parasite infections are thought to be some of the main factors that drive the terrestrial ecology of the females P. hookeri. In conclusion, the presence and spatial extent of a female population at Sandy Bay, unusual for a pinniped species, was found to be predictable and thought to be species- specific rather than location-specific. The results of this study can thus be used as a basis for the management of the recolonisation. Human infrastructure and disturbance are likely to interfere with the establishment of new breeding colonies and the ecology of female New Zealand sea lions on mainland New Zealand. Some recommendations based on these results are immediate public awareness and education programs, the monitoring of the new population using a GIS database and the identification, protection against human… Advisors/Committee Members: Mathieu, Renaud (advisor).

▼ The population biology and socio-spatial organisation of the woodland dormouse, Graphiurus murinus (Desmarest, 1822), was investigated in a riverine forest at the Great Fish River Reserve (GFRR), South Africa. Data were collected by means of a monthly live trapping and nestbox monitoring programme. Between February 2006 and June 2007, 75 woodland dormice were trapped and/or found in nestboxes and marked: these were 39 adults (13 males, 21 females, five undetermined) and 36 juveniles (five males, 14 females, 17 undetermined). The population showed a steady increase from June 2006–November 2006 and a peak in December 2006–January 2007 as a result of the influx of juveniles. The minimum number of dormice known to be alive (MNA) varied between 40 in December 2006– January 2007 (summer), and a low of three in June 2007 (winter). The range in population density was therefore between 1.2 and 16 dormice per ha. Winter mortality and/or spring dispersal accounted for the disappearance of 55 percent of juveniles. The overall annual adult:juvenile ratio was 1.08. The overall sex ratio was 1.94 female per one male. In females, reproductive activity was observed from September 2006 to end January 2007. The pattern observed in males was similar, as dormice with descended testes were exclusively found from October to end January. Females gave birth during the second half of October to beginning of February. Litters (n = 11) consisted of an average (± SD) 3.73 ± 0.47 young. Over the study period, 27 dormice were trapped or found in nestboxes more than eight times, thus allowing me to estimate their home range size and the spatial overlap between these individuals. On average, dormouse home range size was 2,514 m2 (range: 319 – 4,863 m2). No difference was recorded between one-year old adults and older adults, or between all adults and juveniles. However, adult male dormice (3,989 m2, n = 5) had home ranges almost twice as large as females (2,091 m2, n = 9). No similar trend was found in juveniles. Intrasexual home range overlap was on average 62 percent in adult males, and 26 percent in adult females. However, females overlapped with more neighbouring female home ranges than did males with neighbouring male home ranges, so that, as for males, only small parts of female home ranges were really exclusive. On average, males overlapped a larger Abstract Ecology of woodland dormice M.Sc. Thesis 16 proportion (48 percent) of female home ranges than did females with neighbouring male home ranges (27 percent). In addition, males overlapped with significantly more female home ranges (7.8) than did females with male home ranges (4.9). Trapping success and nestbox data agree with the socio-ecological model. Females showed increased mobility during summer, more likely to find suitable nesting sites, and food for milk production during the reproductive season. The use of nestboxes, however, was constant throughout the year. In males, both the trapping success and nestbox use were higher during the mating season (spring), when an increased… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Do Linh San, E, Dr. Bertolino, B.

▼ Understanding the interaction between the environment and the brain and behavior is fundamental for the management of captive fish as well as for the conservation of wild populations. Anthropogenic disturbance and natural stressors in the environment influence how fish behave on a daily basis. Changes in the brain can help fish adjust their behavior and so cope with stressors in the environment. The way that fish respond to stressors, however, is a dynamic process and there are multiple mechanisms that can lead to changes in physiology, neuromodulation and behavior. Therefore, a more comprehensive understanding of how different environmental stressors affect fish is needed if we are to make informed management decisions for both captive and wild populations. The research described in this dissertation has used a comparative approach to investigate various types of stressors and how they affect the relationship between brain and behavior in different species of fish. The first study explored the effects of a natural stressor, predation pressure, on the learning ability of the Panamanian bishop (Brachyrhaphis episcopi). Cognitive ability of Panamanian bishops on a maze task has previously been shown to vary with respect to predation pressure; fish exposed to low predation were faster and more accurate at learning the location of a foraging patch than fish exposed to high predation. The areas of the brain involved in spatial learning and processing emotions such as fear are located in the telencephalon (the forebrain) of teleost fish. Thus a link between spatial learning and emotion, such as fear of predators, could be expected. Associative learning where much simpler relationships are acquired through conditioning, however, occurs in the cerebellum (the hindbrain) and thus may not be under the same influences that affect spatial learning. Temperament, on the other hand, is known to influence general aspects of learning ability, such that some individuals learn faster and retain information for longer than others regardless of their experience. Thus, the effect of temperament on conditioning ability of the Panamanian bishop was also investigated. Within a single population of Panamanian bishops there were differences in learning on a simple conditioning task; bolder individuals that explored more were faster to associate a light cue with a food reward (movement rate, lines/min; P < 0.001, R2 = 0.36, b1 = -0.20). The difference in learning was attributed to the fact that bolder individuals are more willing to take risks in novel situations. Across different Panamanian bishop populations, there were differences in conditioning ability; fish from low predation sites conditioned faster than high predation sites (P < 0.001; number of trials to condition: high predation = 18.85 ± 1.08, low predation = 13.12 ± 0.89) and there were differences between rivers (River Limbo fish were faster than River Quebrada Juan Grande fish). Thus, it is possible that predation pressure drives cognitive differences in tasks that are controlled…

▼ The purpose of this work is to explore the spatial lives of three adolescents in grade nine, between January and May, as they navigated their lives and anticipated their upcoming transition to high school (for students in Grades 10 – 12), with an interest in equitable access to International Baccalaureate programs. Researched in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a context where access to IB was a student choice, free of cost, and void of consideration regarding academic history, the students involved in this study came from neighborhoods that have been historically marginalized from participation in IB, regardless of this “open access” policy. Methodologically, this study is grounded in spatial theory (hooks 1989; Lefebvre, 1979, 1991; Soja, 1996, 2010) and draws on narrative (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; Naraian, 2017) and ethnographic techniques (Emerson, Fretz & Shaw, 1995; LeCompte & Schensul, 1999; Merriam, 2009), using an a/r/tographic stance, that is Artist, Researcher, Teacher positionality (Fendler, 2013; Irwin & Springgay, 2008) as a way to conceptualize the adolescents lives in and outside of school. The research questions address: how adolescents define, describe and map the spaces where they spend time; how they describe their identities, experiences and relationships across space and time; and, what connections they make between engaging in this process and their perceptions about high school. The findings suggest that the spatial stories of adolescents matter, are complex, and provide insight into the ways in which they navigate their worlds and make decisions about their academic futures. Methodologically, using a narrative and ethnographically inspired a/r/tographic approach to exploring the spatial lives of adolescents was useful and generative in terms of eliciting insight and understanding of their complex lives in and out of school. Finally, the findings suggest that for schools seeking to become more inclusive of historically marginalized adolescents, they may need to reconsider an approach that pulls marginalized youth into the “main body” (hooks, 1989), and, instead, travel to the “margin” (hooks, 1989) to re-conceptualize and design programs from there, the “space of radical openness” (hooks, 1989).

▼ Quantifying the biogeography of coastal marine species is difficult and requires innovative study designs. These challenges are the motivation behind this dissertation. The Sand Tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) is an important apex predator in the coastal oceans along the Eastern Coast of the United States. I conducted a study in the Delaware Bay and Mid-Atlantic coastal Ocean, which used historical species location records from acoustic telemetry matched to static and satellite-measured dynamic environmental predictor variables, to create a near-real time predictive species distribution model. Notably we found Sand Tigers were predicted by water temperature, water depth, day length and ocean color absorption in the near-infrared, which likely relates to turbidity in the coastal ocean. In this study I identified the timing and location of migratory corridors used by Sand Tigers, as well as how the timing and location of migration differed between juvenile, mature male and mature female Sand Tigers. ☐ In my second study, I investigated the timing and migration of Sand Tigers along the Delmarva Peninsula on much smaller spatiotemporal scales during their fall migration south, a time during which Sand Tigers are susceptible to anthropogenic threats. For the first time, I used an autonomous underwater vehicle to concurrently detect Sand Tigers carrying acoustic tags, and measure fine scale environmental properties of the sub-surface ocean to determine habitat selectivity. I found that Sand Tigers migrated rapidly and en masse through the coastal ocean off the Delmarva Peninsula and were selecting for waters near-shore, lower in salinity, and higher in color dissolved organic matter. These results support the larger scale patterns in environmental predictors I found in my first study, as well as prove that using autonomous underwater vehicles is an effective method for extending our capabilities of detecting acoustically tagged marine species. ☐ Finally, I developed a novel tagging method that implanted an archival acoustic receiver into the body cavity of Sand Tigers, which were released alive and continued to conduct their annual migration before they were recaptured and the tags were removed. This tagging method allowed me to record associations between Sand Tigers and other acoustically tagged species for one year of the Sand Tigers life. Analysis of that dataset revealed potential fission-fusion behavior, or the change in size and composition of groups, in the Sand Tiger population depending on where the Sand Tigers were along the East Coast, and what they were likely doing during that time (i.e. feeding, searching for mates, migrating, etc.). I observed Sand Tiger aggregations change from mixed groups of male and female juveniles and adults, to groups of only adult males, to solitary phases where Sand Tigers were completely dispersed for weeks at a time. This study is important because it suggests the potential for social behavior in a shark species, but also identifies the possibility of anthropogenic impacts…
