An overflow of magnitude 0.25 Sv (Sv 10 m 3 s ) has been predicted to enter the Makarov Basin (part of the Canadian Basin in the Arctic Ocean) from the Eurasian Basin via a deep gap in the dividing Lomonosov ridge. The authors argue that this overflow does not ventilate the deep Makarov Basin (below 2400 m) where the water is too warm and salty to be compatible with such a large cold fresh infl...

We study the evolutionary robustness of strategies in in nitely repeated prisoners' dilemma games in which players make mistakes with a small probability and are patient. The evolutionary process we consider is given by the replicator dynamics. We show that there are strategies with a uniformly large basin of attraction independent of the size of the population. Moreover, we show that those str...

The structural and subsidence history of the Neogene Transylvanian basin is reviewed in order to analyse its relation to the tectonic and erosional history of the surrounding Carpathian mountains that has been defined by apatite fission track data from previous studies. The main processes studied are redistribution of mass by erosion, and tectonic loading. A mass balance is calculated between m...

Lenitic and lotic aquatic environments were studied in the Middle Paraná River basin, one of the largest rivers of the world (basin: 1,510,000 km2, length: 2,570 km). The Paraná River (S 31 degrees 42' 04"; W 60 degrees 29' 39"), during El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) (1997-1998), registered maximum flows of 29,962 m3 s(-1) (more than twice the mean flow) and also positive pluvial anomalies...

In conditions characterized by energetic constraints, such as in periods of low food availability, some trade-offs between reproduction and self-maintenance may be necessary; even year-round breeders may then be forced to exhibit some reproductive seasonality. Prior research has largely focused on female reproduction and physiology, and few studies have evaluated the impact of environmental fac...
