One hundred and forty-six previously detected mutations were more precisely positioned in the human Y chromosome phylogeny by the analysis of 51 representative Y chromosome haplogroups and the use of 59 mutations from literature. Twenty-two new mutations were also described and incorporated in the revised phylogeny. This analysis made it possible to identify new haplogroups and to resolve a dee...

The Northern Demersal Working Group (NDWG) prepared the assessment. The working group (Appendix 1) held three different meetings over a three month period. The meeting dates and locations are listed below. Working group participation differed by meeting. A complete summary of working group participants by meeting and day are presented in Appendix 1.

This research evaluated fisheries reference points and stock status to assess the sustainability of croaker fishery (Sciaenidae) from Bay Bengal (BoB), Bangladesh. Sixteen years (2001–2016) catch-effort data were analyzed using two surplus production models (Schaefer Fox), Monte Carlo method (CMSY) Bayesian state-space Schaefer model (BSM) method. applies a Stock–Production Model Incorporating ...

The primary objective of the paper is to quantify the mass scattering and absorption efficiencies (MSE and MAE) of different aerosol source types observed at urban (Barcelona-BCN; MAE only), regional background (Montseny-MSY), and remote background (Montsec-MSA) sites in the northwestern (NW) Mediterranean region. To accomplish this, the authors applied a multi-linear regression model (MLR; Eqs...

With increasing fishing pressures having brought several stocks to the brink of collapse, there is a need for developing efficient harvesting methods that account for factors beyond merely yield or profit. We consider the dynamics and management of a stage-structured fish stock. Our work is based on a consumer-resource model which De Roos et al. (in Theor. Popul. Biol. 73, 47-62, 2008) have der...
