    • The effects of insect visitation on floral colour change 

      Nuttman, Clive (University of St Andrews, 2003) - Thesis
      This study investigated the effects of flower visitation on floral colour change and the subsequent influence of such change on insect foraging behaviour. Colour change was examined in six plant species; Myosotis sylvatica, ...

    • Development of foraging in wild chimpanzees 

      Assersohn, Clea (University of St Andrews, 2000) - Thesis
      Recent work on social learning in primates has primarily been approached from a perspective that focuses on demonstrating human-like learning abilities rather than the efficacy of social learning within natural and ...

    • The role of the intestine in the osmoregulation of the European eel 

      Phillips, Claire (University of St Andrews, 2006) - Thesis
      European silver eels 378g ± 11 (SEM) were transferred freshwater - freshwater and freshwater - seawater, their blood sampled and plasma ions, osmolality and circulating concentrations of Cortisol and ANG-II measured to ...

    • Appetitive associative conditioning in the basolateral amygdala 

      Birch, Claire Stirling (University of St Andrews, 2005) - Thesis
      This thesis is concerned with the neural basis of appetitive associative conditioning or 'reward learning' in rats. Research has implicated several brain structures within what is known as the cortico-striato-pallido-thalamic ...

    • In situ' analysis of the biomass and distribution of microphytobenthos 

      Honeywill, Claire (University of St Andrews, 2001) - Thesis
      This thesis investigates the use of fluorescence techniques for the remote sensing of microphytobenthic biomass and distribution. Firstly, hardware was developed to facilitate the use of fluorometry for measuring ...
