The Underlying Mechanisms Linking Self-Objectification to Subjective Well-Being: Testing Two Moderated Mediation Models

Creator:: Tran, Sydney J.

Does the Matrix Matter? Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology to Examine Hummingbird Movements in Fragmented Tropical Landscapes

Creator:: Jackson, Evan R.
Abstract:: There is increasing evidence that the type of land cover surrounding remnant patches of native habitats (the ‘matrix’) can modify effects of landscape change on biodiversity; thus the traditional idea of dichotomous habitat and non-habitat following island biogeography theory is insufficient in complex landscapes. Matrix type can have dramatic influences...
