The results suggest that the potential factors which influence the maintenance of amphibian biodiversity are multi-faceted and thus, attempts to understand these factors must reflect these complexities. I investigated factors that influenced the susceptibility of western toad...

Abstract:: Children's early self-regulation skills have long-term implications for a variety of academic, social, and health outcomes. Unfortunately, children facing multiple family risk factors (e.g., harsh parenting, economic disadvantage) are more likely to struggle with early self-regulation. Despite early disparities in self-regulation, promising intervention evidence suggests that high quality prekindergarten experiences...
