Title: Elucidating the evolutionary origins of collective animal behavior
Creator: Olson, Randal S.
Date: 2015
Collection: Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Description: Despite over a century of research, the evolutionary origins of collective animal behavior remain unclear. Dozens of hypotheses explaining the evolution of collective behavior have risen and fallen in the past century, but until recently it has been difficult to perform controlled behavioral evolution experiments to isolate these various hypotheses and test their individual effects.

Dozens of hypotheses explaining the evolution of collective behavior have risen and fallen in the past century, but until recently it has been difficult to perform controlled behavioral evolution experiments to isolate these various hypotheses and test their individual effects. In this dissertation, I outline a relatively new method using digital models of evolution to perform controlled behavioral evolution experiments. In particular, I use these models to directly explore the evolutionary consequence of the selfish herd, predator confusion, and the many eyes hypotheses, and demonstrate how the models can lend key insights useful to behavioral biologists, computer scientists, and robotics researchers. This dissertation lays the groundwork for the experimental study of the hypotheses surrounding the evolution of collective animal behavior, and establishes a path for future experiments to explore and disentangle how the various hypothesized benefits of collective behavior interact over evolutionary time.

Title: The transition to industrial farming landscapes and methods in western lower Michigan and the resulting community awareness
Creator: Jacques, Michelle Lynne-Larkins
Date: 2011
Collection: Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Description: Using an Environmental Justice Framework (EJF) and risk perception theory this research investigates the perceptions of residents of one West Michigan agricultural community regarding the density of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) in their area. Using a case study approach, semi-structured interviews (n=11) with operational stakeholders and orally administered surveys (n=296) with the community at large were conducted. Hispanic community members and farmworkers were purposively...
Show moreUsing an Environmental Justice Framework (EJF) and risk perception theory this research investigates the perceptions of residents of one West Michigan agricultural community regarding the density of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) in their area. Using a case study approach, semi-structured interviews (n=11) with operational stakeholders and orally administered surveys (n=296) with the community at large were conducted. Hispanic community members and farmworkers were purposively sampled due to their unique status in the community. Results indicate that community perceptions of risk differ significantly among demographic groups. Hispanic community members were more likely to perceive the employment benefits of CAFOS as being more important and the likelihood of environmental pollution or human health effects to be lower in importance than non-Hispanic community members. In contrast, women were more likely to perceive the potential of environmental pollution effects of CAFOs to be more significant and the economic benefits to be less important than men. Our findings support risk perception theory and also suggest directions for future research regarding educational attainment and perception.
