In this study, we compiled existing records of fouling marine non-native species in Scotland, and created a national checklist of these species. We then targeted a selection of these species (excluding those that could not be reliably identified) in a rapid assessment survey of 27 harbours in the north of Scotland. Collation of existing records revealed that 23 fouling marine non-native species...

Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Lam.) Spach., a relict tree species of the Juglandaceae family, is native to the Great Caucasus, Anatolia, and to the Hyrcanian forests of the southern Azerbaijan and Northern Iran. In this study, the phylogenetic relationship of the species, sampled in selected Iranian populations, and the global biogeography of the genus Pterocarya were addressed. Leaves were collecte...

The 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act requires universities, museums, and federal agencies to inventory their archeological collections to prepare for the repatriation of skeletons to their Native American descendants. The loss of these collections will be a detriment to the study of North American osteology, but the inventory and repatriation process has increased the...

this study aimed to identify genes that show signatures of selection for mutations in iranian native cattle breeds. the data consisted of genotypes for ~777962 snp markers of 90 animals from eight iranian native cattle breeds distributing over the country. therefore, the aim was to identifying divergently selected regions of the genome. study of population differentiation across the genome usin...

Through programming tasks, the skills and abilities used to solve mathematical problems are developed improved. In this article we present a teaching trajectory using solutions presented throughout history of “hundred fowls” problem. The proposed itinerary is graduated, meaning that it can be for different educational stages.

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly used to project the potential distribution of introduced species outside their native range. Such studies rarely explicitly evaluate potential conflicts with native species should the range of introduced species expand. Two snake species native to eastern North America, Nerodia fasciata and Nerodia sipedon, have been introduced to California w...
