A total of 43 scaled chrysophyte taxa were observed in plankton collections made from 60 lakes and ponds on the peninsula known as Cape Cod, a peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean along the northeastern coast of the United States between 41 °30' and 42°00' North latitude. The waterbodies, primarily seepage lakes of glacial origin, are characterized as largely acidic, poorly buffered and ...

A major discrepancy between the Late Quatemary sea level changes derived from raised coral reef terraces at the Huon Peninsula in Papua New Guinea and from oxygen isotopes in deep sea cores is resolved. The two methods agree closely from 120 ka to 80 ka and from 20 ka to 0 ka (ka = 1000 yr before present), but between 70 and 30 ka the isotopic sea levels are 20-40 m lower than the Huon Peninsul...

Herein we assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of geckos of the genus Phyllodactylus inhabiting the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico using five mitochondrial and two nuclear genes. Phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) recovered three distinct peninsular clades with high statistical support. Sequence divergence estimates between peninsu...

The Delmarva Peninsula is located on the East Coast of the United States, between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Industrial farming in the Delmarva Peninsula leads to levels of nutrients, in particular nitrogen, which grossly exceed natural levels. Excess nitrogen reaches the freshwater streams of the peninsula, which then flows to the Chesapeake Bay. The presence of extreme levels of n...

Northern wild rice is of great dietary and cultural importance to the Native American population in Upper Peninsula Michigan. Millions tons mine tailings were discharged into Lake Superior other inland lakes during copper mining boom early 20th century this area. This includes L’Anse Bay, located within Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) reservation. Since restoration being encouraged by KBIC...

In this study, we investigate the variation of characteristics summer precipitation with different magnitudes and water vapor budget in key areas Sichuan-Tibet Railway by using daily data from meteorological stations monthly mean ERA-Interim reanalysis 1979 to 2018. The results show that heavy anomaly Brahmaputra valley mountain (BVM) area is generated multi-scale interactions between unique to...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Polyploidy in plants has been studied extensively. In many groups, two or more cytotypes represent separate biological entities with distinct distributions, histories and ecology. This study examines the distribution and origins of cytotypes of Alnus glutinosa in Europe, North Africa and western Asia. METHODS A combined approach was used involving flow cytometry and micros...

Phylogenetic relationships among Malaysia's long-tailed macaques have yet to be established, despite abundant genetic studies of the species worldwide. The aims of this study are to examine the phylogenetic relationships of Macaca fascicularis in Malaysia and to test its classification as a morphological subspecies. A total of 25 genetic samples of M. fascicularis yielding 383 bp of Cytochrome ...

Electronics industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. In India also, there are high turnovers and growing demand of electronics product especially after post liberalization in early nineties. These products generate e-waste which has become big environmental issue. Industries can handle these e-waste and product returns efficiently by developing reverse logistics (RL) syst...
