Juvenile salmonid populations in a temperate river system track synoptic trends in climate

Climate change track in river floods in Europe

A holistic perspective on changing river flood risk in Europe is provided. Economic losses from floods have increased, principally driven by the expanding exposure of assets at risk. Climate change (i.e. observed increase in precipitation intensity, decrease of snowpack and other observed climate changes) might already have had an impact on floods. However, no gauge-based evidence had been foun...

third world intellectuals in v. s. naipaul’s fiction: the mimic men, a bend in the river, magic seeds

this thesis attempts to study the representations of the third-world intellectuals in three fictional works by the british-educated trinidadian nobel-winner v. s. naipaul: the mimic men, a bend in the river, and magic seeds. the first one recounts the story of ralph singh’s sense of alienation, his experiences as a colonial politician, and his struggle to give order to his disorderly world thro...

Uncertainty of Climate Change and Synoptic Parameters and modeling the trends

Divergent trends in anadromous salmonid populations in Norwegian and Scottish rivers.

The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a charismatic anadromous fish of high conservation and economic value. Concerns have been expressed regarding the long-term viability of fisheries throughout the species's distributional range because of abundance variations that cannot currently be explained or predicted. Here, we analyse long-term catch data obtained over a wide geographical range and acro...

Morphological differences among the Garra variabilis populations (Cyprinidae) in Tigris River system of South East Turkey

In this study, by examining the character of the morphometric and meristic characters of Garra variabilis samples which is obtained from different locality in Tigris River, morphometric characters which are transformed, subjected to discriminant analysis and depending on grouping model, number of discriminant functions and according to importance of these in terms of explaining total variance, ...
