this study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a twenty20 match. based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. the developed measure is called ‘prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of the teams dur...

football participation requires considerable utilization of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to match the high energetic demands of the sport. the consequent stresses imposed on the physiological and metabolic systems carries players to the threshold of exhaustion during match-play, from which they are required to recover in preparation for the subsequent game. a high number of players...

Genealogy-based species-delimitation approaches resting upon multilocus sequence data aim at arranging organisms into species taxa (the “grouping” step in a classification procedure), but provide no criteria for the subsequent decision of whether these should be acknowledged as Linnaean system “ranking” step). By integration genealogical, morphological, ecological, and geographical patterns pro...

Editor: Franc ois Guilhaumon Abstract Aim: Current geographical distributions in conjunction with species-level phylogenies have been viewed as offering an enormous potential for investigating the causes of speciation. However, many authors have concluded that species ranges are too dynamic to retain the historical signal of the speciation processes. We develop an approach to explore the extent...
