In order to evaluate the possible correlation between the tree density and the human population density, the forested area in Nav Asalem district located in Guilan Province was selected. The descriptors of tree number and basal area per hectare as well as the stand density index were used to determine the tree density, which was conducted from a 2014 forest inventory including 62 cluster (558 p...

The genetic polymorphism and phenotypic variation are key in ecology evolution. morphological variability of the contour fish otoliths has been extensively used for delimitation stocks. These studies conventionally based on average phenotype using elliptic Fourier analysis lineal discriminant as classifier. Considering new analytical options, such wavelet transform non-parametric algorithms, we...

abstract purpose - the aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...

applying a precise forecasting method is necessary to achieve acceptable results in ipm programs. performances of the wing and delta pheromone traps for forecasting the codling moth phenology were compared with physiological time data based on degree-hours. six pheromone traps (three wing and three delta style) were applied for the monitoring of the codling moth population. traps were placed in...

six highly variable microsatellite loci were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the garra rufa in kermanshah and bushehr provinces, iran. all of the 6 microsatellite loci screened in this study showed polymorphism. a total of 90 individual fish from 3 populations were genotyped and 60 alleles were observed in all loci. the number of alleles per locus ranged fr...

i agree entirely with nir eyal’s perspective that denying treatment to obese patients is morally wrong. however, the reasons for this belief differ in some ways from eyal’s analysis. in this commentary, i will try to explain the similarities and differences in our perspectives. my primary claim is that the denial of treatment to obese patients is wrong principally because (i) it eschews a whole...
