basins leading to tabriz plain are part of the sub-basins of urmia lake basin, which is located in the east azerbaijan province and in the north-western part of iran. the area of this basin is 5397 km2, and agriculture is one of the main sources of income for the people, which is dependent on groundwater and surface water resources. in this study, an attempt was made to investigate the basins l...

Social resilience is an essential need for societies faced with adverse events such as pandemics. The recent COVID-19 outbreak has affected many communities around the globe. In fact, in addition to unprecedented mortality and infection rates, it also caused major anxieties social problems. Iran been one of hardest-hit countries among those that have experienced multiple waves outbreak. this st...

Molecular microbial ecology studies have revealed remarkable prokaryotic diversity in extreme hydrothermal marine environments. There are no comparable reports of culture-independent surveys of eukaryotic life in warm, anoxic marine sediments. By using sequence comparisons of PCR-amplified small subunit ribosomal RNAs, we characterized eukaryotic diversity in hydrothermal vent environments of G...

In this study, we estimate life history parameters and abundance for a protected jaguar population using camera-trap data from a 14-year monitoring program (2002-2015) in Belize, Central America. We investigated the dynamics of this jaguar population using 3,075 detection events of 105 individual adult jaguars. Using robust design open population models, we estimated apparent survival and tempo...

There are 22 species of Hamacantha registered from all over the world, and frequently from deep-waters, only two of which had previously been reported from the SW Atlantic. Here we describe a third species for this area, Hamacantha (H.) boomerang sp. nov., collected from deep-sea coral mounds at Campos Basin (off Rio de Janeiro state). We found oxeas 271-630 µm long, diancistras in three size c...

In recent years, remote sensing technology has enabled researchers to fill the existing statistics and research gaps on evapotranspiration in different land use classes. Thus, a remotely sensed-based approach was employed investigate how rates changed use/cover classes across Lake Urmia Basin from 2016 2020. This accomplished by applying Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) maximum likelihood a...

groundwater quality has a direct impact on human life. the main objective of this research is to investigate changes in groundwater quality and levels in lake urmia basin. tasoj and shiramin plains are selected as a study area. the suitability of groundwater quality for drinking and agricultural purposes were assessed using schoeller and wilcox diagram. according to the wilcox classification, t...
