Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management (2003)
Thesis
Thompson, K. Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

Whilst transport has repeatedly been identified as an integral component in the tourism system, the relationship between urban public transport networks and visitor behaviour at urban destinations remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, tourist tran... Read More about Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management.

Male mating behavior and ejaculate expenditure under sperm competition risk in the eastern mosquitofish (2003)
Journal Article

Theory predicts that males should tailor the size of their ejaculates according to temporal changes in the risk of sperm competition. Specifically, males are predicted to allocate more sperm to each mating event with increasing risk (i.e., the probab...
