Modeling Habitat Requirements of Leopard (Panthera pardus) Using Genetic Algorithm in Golestan National Park

Habitat potential modeling of Thymus kotschyanus Boiss. & Hohen. in the northern of Ardabil Province rangelands

This study aims at comparing the performance of MaxEnt and logistic regression in preparing the predictive habitat distribution map of Thymus kotschyanus and determining the factors affecting in the northern of Ardabil Province rangelands. 28 sites were selected and at each site, three transects with a length of 100 m and on each transect ten 1m2 plots were established. Soil samples were taken ...

Modeling the potential habitat of Ferula ovina (Boiss) using Generalized Linear Model in Semi-Steppe rangelands of Western Isfahan

This study was aimed to predict the potential distribution of Ferula ovina (Boiss) in Feridoonshar, in the western part of Isfahan province, and to produce species response curves in relation to the environmental variables using the Generalized Linear Model (GLM). The presence and absence of the species in 278 sites (including 138 presence sites & 140 absence sites) were collected using random ...

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) in the Great Lakes: playing with fire?

The Laurentian Great Lakes have been successfully invaded by at least 182 nonindigenous species. Here we report on two new species, water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes and water lettuce Pistia stratiotes, that were found at a number of locations in Lake St. Clair and Detroit River during autumn 2010. Both species are commonly sold in the water garden and aquarium trade in southern Ontario and e...

scour modeling piles of kambuzia industrial city bridge using hec-ras and artificial neural network

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...
