Phase planes in the universe : chaotic cyclic universes and kicking Chameleons
This thesis consists of two main sections: chaotic cyclic cosmology and Chameleon gravity in the early universe. Both sections invoke a phase plane analysis as their commonality. The first explores a cyclic model, proposed by Ellis et al, that is in keeping with current observations. No exotic nor …

Chameleons in the city: An institutional analysis of sales agents in Sydney’s new apartment market
Multi-unit dwelling (MUD) development is complex and involves multiple relationships, introducing market risks. Following the Global Financial Crisis, a ‘boom-bust’ MUD market cycle eventuated in Sydney against a contrasting political and economic backdrop. The 2017-19 supply peak was crucially …

The effects of environment and niche on the distributions of dwarf chameleons, present and future
The niche and niche breadth of Dwarf Chameleons, Bradypodion, was assessed in terms of broad scale climatic factors. A niche-based modelling method was then used to construct present and future habitat suitability maps for 2050 and 2080, for species in the genus. Additionally, the relationship …

Demographic and genetic variability in Cape Dwarf Chameleons, Bradypodion pumilum, withink a fragmented, urban habitat
Habitat fragmentation is recognized as a primary cause of biodiversity loss. To maximize biodiversity maintenance, researchers in the field of conservation biology often investigate population demography and genetic variability for species inhabiting fragmented landscapes. Findings from such work …

Movement of the Cape dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion pumilum): are they vulnerable to habitat fragmentation?
… Africa. Radio-telemetry was used to track adult chameleons (N=11) over 10 days during March 2010 and April 2014. Data were analysed using linear mixed effects models including relevant predictor variables. The chameleon habitat use, such as perch height, thickness and vegetation cover, including …

Can Chameleons Lead Change? The Effect of Resistance to Change on High Self-Monitoring Leaders' Strength of Purpose
The evidence linking self-monitoring (Snyder, 1974) and leadership suggests that it is better to be high than low in self-monitoring regarding leader effectiveness (Day et al., 2002); however, social responsiveness could be a double-edged sword when it comes to leading organization change. It was …

Sex-specific Habitat Use and Responses to Fragmentation in an Endemic Chameleon Fauna
Chameleons are an understudied taxon facing many threats, including collection for the international pet trade and habitat loss and fragmentation. A recent field study reports a highly female-biased sex ratio in the Eastern Arc Endemic Usambara three horned chameleon, Trioceros deremensis, a large, …

TRANSITION METAL CATALYZED CROSS-COUPLINGS OF ALKYL SULFONE ELECTROPHILES
… reason, they have been described as chemical chameleons. While their use as Csp2 electrophiles in cross-coupling dates to the early 1970’s, their potential as competent Csp3 electrophiles has not been recognized until recently. Our group has made significant contributions to the development of …
