1	Experimentální studie vlivu páření s více samci na reprodukční úspěch samice u gekončíků Eublepharis macularius / The effects of mating with multiple males on reproductive success of a female: An experimental study in leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) Ševčíková, Pavlína January 2010 (has links) The aim of the project was to test female advantages of promiscuous and/or polyandrous mating. Although, previous studies reported improved reproductive success of females copulating with multiple males in many model species, including Eublepharis macularius, this study failed to demonstrate such a benefit of polyandry. Traits reflecting female reproductive success, i.e. the number of produced eggs, egg mass, hatchability, hatchling mass, growth and survival were not influenced by copulation with multiple partners, but some of them were dependent on female condition. Only initial stages of juvenile growth were influenced by female identity and/or investment.
2	RESETTLEMENT CHALLENGES AND GENDER: A CASE STUDY OF LIBERIAN REFUGEES IN NOVA SCOTIA Claveau, Steven 08 December 2010 (has links) This Master’s level research project investigates how gender shapes the resettlement challenges that liberian refugees have faced in Nova Scotia. The study investigates the impact of the reframing of gender relations during resettlement processes in both material and symbolic domains of life in Halifax. While male Liberian refugees are found to have a comparative advantage over their female counterparts, due in large part to the priority given to educating young men in rural Liberia, they also have higher expectations of education and employment once settled. Women seem to benefit symbolically if not materially from the reframing of gender relations in Canada, as compared to Liberia.
