Understanding drivers of wild oyster population persistence

Population Genomics for Understanding Adaptation in Wild Plant Species.

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is the foundation of modern biology. However, it has proven remarkably difficult to demonstrate at the genetic, genomic, and population level exactly how wild species adapt to their natural environments. We discuss how one can use large sets of multiple genome sequences from wild populations to understand adaptation, with an emphasis on the smal...

Understanding the Persistence Properties

This paper evaluates the ability of a two-country model of growth and cycles to explain the persistence properties of output and consumption across countries. Simulated output and consumption levels replicate the observed appearance of non-cointegration across countries. Simulated output growth rates, however, do not explain the observed positive serial correlation of output growth rates. The r...

Population dynamic of pearl oyster pinctada radiata in 2 habitats of Lavan Island, Persian Gulf

As pearling has been banned since 2006 in Persian Gulf, growth and mortality rate of Mohar pearl oyster in its old habitats was surveyed in present research. For early survey and identification of habitats of Mohar pearl oyster Pinctada radiata, primary sea tours in coastal waters of Lavan Island, were done. Two habitats were identified and sampled seasonally from autumn 2011 to summer 2012, to...
