Colour alone matters : no predator generalization among morphs of an aposematic moth

2018

Local warning colour polymorphism, frequently observed in aposematic organisms, is evolutionarily puzzling. This is because variation in aposematic signals is expected to be selected against due to predators' difficulties associating several signals with a given unprofitable prey. One possible explanation for the existence of such variation is predator generalization, which occurs when predators learn to avoid one form and consequently avoid other sufficiently similar forms, relaxing selection for monomorphic signals. We tested this hypothesis by exposing the three different colour morphs of the aposematic wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis, existing in Finland to local wild-caught predato…

The Effect of Predator Population Dynamics on Batesian Mimicry Complexes.

2022

Understanding Batesian mimicry is a classic problem in evolutionary biology. In Batesian mimicry, a defended species (the model) is mimicked by an undefended species (the mimic). Prior theories have emphasized the role of predator behavior and learning as well as evolution in model-mimic complexes but have not examined the role of population dynamics in potentially governing the relative abundances and even persistence of model-mimic systems. Here, we examined the effect of the population dynamics of predators and alternative prey on the prevalence of warning-signaling prey composed of models and mimics. Using optimal foraging theory and signal detection theory, we found that the inclusion …

Linguistic, Contextual, and Experiential Equivalence Issues in the Adaptation of a Performance-Based Assessment of Generic Skills in Higher Education

2022

This qualitative study investigated the various linguistic, contextual, and experiential equivalence issues embedded in a performance-based instrument aimed at assessing generic skills in higher education. A rigorous translation and adaptation process (American English to Finnish) was conducted on one instrument, namely Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International. The data were obtained from cognitive laboratories (n = 13), with think-alouds and follow-up interviews conducted among Finnish undergraduate students. Content logs were created, and the data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that linguistic and contextual equivalence issues were more prominent than experie…

Izmantoto disciplinēšanas tehniku saistība ar vecāku kompetences izjūtu pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu vecākiem

2021

Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt saistības starp vecāku izmantotajām disciplinēšanas tehnikām un vecāku kompetences izjūtu pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu vecākiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 50 vecāki (44 mātes un 6 tēvi), kuriem vismaz viens bērns ir vecumā no 3 līdz 5 gadiem (25 meitas un 25 dēli: 23 bija 3 gadīgi, 16 bija 4 gadīgi un 11 bija 5 gadīgi). Tika veikts korelatīvs pētījums, izmantojot instrumentus: “Vecāku kompetences izjūtas skala” (Parenting sense of competence scale, Johnston & Mash, 1989). Latviešu valodā skalu adaptējušas I. Skreitule – Pikše, S. Sebre (Skreitule-Pikše, I., Sebre, S., 2008) un “Aptauja par disciplinēšanas tehnikām”, kas ir izveidota šī pētījuma vajadzībām.…

Vecāku attieksmes un kompetences rādītāju izmaiņas pusaudžu māšu intervences grupā

2018

Maģistra darba tēma ir: vecāku attieksmes un kompetences rādītāju izmaiņas pusaudžu māšu intervences grupā. Maģistra darba mērķis ir novērtēt vecāku kompetences izjūtas, vecāku attieksmes rādītāju izmaiņas pirms un pēc intervences programmas īstenošanas. Kvalitatīvajā pētījuma daļā tika veikta vecāku interviju satura vienību kontentanalīze, lai izpētītu vecāku kompetences izjūtas un attieksmes īpatnības. Teorētiskajā daļā apskatītas vecāku kompetences izjūtas galvenās komponentes un ietekmējošie faktori, vecāku kompetences izjūtas un attieksmes ietekme uz pusaudžu uzvedību, pusaudžu vecumposma psiho sociālas attīstības aspekti, vecāku kompetences un attieksmes jēdziens mūsdienu psiholoģijā,…
