The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 2012 Reproductive Seasonality of the Reef Building Coral Platygyra Pini on Singapore’s Reefs

— The gametogenic cycle of Platygyra pini was investigated at three sites around Singapore’s southern islands from Mar.2001 to Apr.2002. Equatorial locations, such as Singapore, typically experience moderate annual environmental variation. This has lead to the suggestion that the amplitude of environmental variation at the equator is insuffi cient to provide reliable cues to synchronise reprodu...

Assessing environmental contamination of River Ganga using correlation and multivariate analysis

The aim of this study was to assess the environmental impact of socio-cultural practices on the water quality of River Ganga at the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand State, India. The physico-chemical parameters that contributed to the temporal variation and pollution in the river were identified in this study. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Cluster analysis (CA) were us...
