L’épreuve unique ministérielle en histoire (ÉUM) reposant en grande partie sur la mobilisation d’un savoir-lire et d’un savoir-écrire pour démontrer ses compétences en histoire, nous nous sommes intéressée à la relation entre l’échec à l’ÉUM et les difficultés éprouvées par l’apprenant dans le domaine du français (DF). Les dires de 102 participants inscrits à des cours de rattrapage d’été en histoire furent analysés : la majorité déclare éprouver des difficultés avec la compétence « compréhen...
Maternal defensive behavior against predators may appear risky but is common in many species. Herein we describe maternal defensive behavior of mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) against Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) predatory attempts. We found that Golden Eagles attacked goats in 1.9% of sightings (n = 311 sightings of active Golden Eagles over 12 years) but were never successful. Mothers always defended their young against Golden Eagle attacks. Predation by Golden Eagles on young-of-t...
We tested for cross-species amplification of microsatellite loci located throughout the domestic sheep (Ovis aries) genome in two north American mountain ungulates (bighorn sheep, Ovis canadensis, and mountain goats, Oreamnos americanus). We identified 247 new polymorphic markers in bighorn sheep (≥ 3 alleles in one of two study populations) and 149 in mountain goats (≥ 2 alleles in a single study population) using 648 and 576 primer pairs, respectively. Our efforts increased the number of av...
