Understanding the patterns of gene flow of an endangered species metapopulation occupying a fragmented habitat is crucial for landscape-level conservation planning and devising effective conservation strategies. Tigers (Panthera tigris) are globally endangered and their populations are highly fragmented and exist in a few isolated metapopulations across their range. We used multi-locus genotypi...

Gauging the discharge of theTigris River in Baiji is very important, as it reflects final accumulated flows from Mosul Dam, upper and lower Zab tributaries, which send downstream to control system Samarra. The current study aimed evaluate performance gauging station for measuring water levels discharge, thus suggest alternative locations. Large disagreement was found between manually measured t...

In this article, the bankruptcy theory and bargaining games are used to construct a two-stage water resources allocation negotiation model (TSANM). A Nash-bargaining game is for initial allocation, followed by an adjustment stage which considers factors such as circumstances, satisfaction, risk, efficiency. The TSANM systematically multi-dimensional attributes of in process may likely increase ...

Precise streamflow forecasting is crucial when designing water resource planning and management, predicting flooding, reducing flood threats. This study invented a novel approach for the monthly of Tigris River in Amarah City, Iraq, by integrating an artificial neural network (ANN) with particle swarm optimisation algorithm (PSO), depending on data preprocessing. Historical were utilised from (...

Reproductive characteristics of Mossul bleak, Alburnus mossulensis, a native species of Cyprinidae family in Bibi-Sayyedan River of Semirom, Isfahan, were investigated by monthly sampling during December 2010 to December 2011. Five hundred and fourty three specimens (256 females, 159 males and 31 immature) were caught by a sein net (5 mm mesh size). The collected sampeles were anesthesized in 1...

Abstract The Euphrates-Tigris basin in Turkey suffers from sedimentation and erosion problems. purpose of this study was to estimate streamflow, sediment yield, identification soil erosion-prone areas for the Murat River Basin which is headwater Euphrates River, with Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). model calibrated validated observed streamflow yield data obtained two gauging stations. stati...
