Indirect effects of climate change and forest fragmentation on breeding bird abundance in Ontario
(2022)From data on forest breeding bird species in the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Ontario, this thesis summarizes population changes from 1981 to 2005 and all the direct and indirect reasons that may lead to the decline of these ... -
Indirect key derivation schemes for key management of access hierarchies
(2004)In this thesis, we study the problem of key management within an access hierarchy. Our contribution to the key management problem is an indirect key derivation approach we call the HMAC-method. It is called the HMAC-method, ... -
Individual differences in flirting and attractivity mating strategies: sex, gender, and the menstrual cycle
(2014-01-22)Previous research suggests sex differences in mate preferences and mating strategies based on reproductive constraints (Buss, 2005). Furthermore, research has suggested that women's mating behaviours change across the ... -
