Thermal Imaging and Physiological Analysis of Cold-Climate Caribou-Skin Clothing
(Arctic Institute of North America, 2019-11-05)Protective clothing is essential for human existence in the Arctic, and caribou-skin clothing has played a pivotal role for millennia. Although people with northern experience often extol caribou-skin clothing, few scientific ... -
Thermoregulatory behavior and orientation preference in bearded dragons
(Elsevier, 2017)Animals commit time and energy to achieve and maintain thermally optimality, defined as the range of temperatures which maintains physiological processes operating at, or near, maximum conditions (Dewitt, 1967; Huey and ... -
Thermoregulatory windows in Darwin's finches
(Wiley, 2017-08-31)1. Darwin's finches have been the focus of intense study demonstrating how climatic fluctuations coupled with resource competition drive the evolution of a variety of bill sizes and shapes. The bill, as other peripheral ... -

To repeat or not to repeat a course
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)The difficult transition from high school to university means that many students need to repeat (retake) one or more of their university courses. This paper examines the performance of students who were repeating first-year ... -
Tortoises develop and overcome position biases in a reversal learning task
(Springer-Nature, 2019-02-01)The capability of animals to alter their behaviour in response to novel or familiar stimuli, or behavioural flexibility, is strongly associated with their ability to learn in novel environments. Reptiles are capable of ... -
Transposable Elements Are a Significant Contributor to Tandem Repeats in the Human Genome
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-04-11)Sequence repeats are an important phenomenon in the human genome, playing important roles in genomic alteration often with phenotypic consequences. The two major types of repeat elements in the human genome are tandem ... -
Trematode Parasite Infection Affects Temperature Selection in Aquatic Host Snails
(University of Chicago Press, 2019-01)Animals infected by parasites or pathogens can exhibit altered behaviors that may reduce the costs of infection to the host or represent manipulations that benefit the parasite. Given that temperature affects many critical ... -
