Recent reports suggest that host-seeking nymphs in southern populations of Ixodes scapularis remain below the leaf litter surface, while northern nymphs seek hosts on leaves and twigs above the litter surface. This behavioral difference potentially results in decreased tick contact with humans in the south, and fewer cases of Lyme disease. We studied whether north-south differences in tick surv...

Northern white-cheeked gibbon (N. leucogenys/ Nomascus leucogenys) is one of 18 gibbon species with currently status of Endangered Threat in the world. Northern white-cheeked gibbon is mainly distributed in tropical Asia. In Vietnam, Nomascus lecogenys is mostly concentrated in the north of the country. In recent years, Vietnam more and more is clearly confirmed distribution of the largest popu...

We develop a two-good model of North-South trade where middlemen mediate trade in the good exported by the South to overcome quality assurance problems. Middleman margins and entry into intermediation are endogenously determined by underlying distribution of entrepreneurial ability. Trade liberalization increases inequality in the Southern export sector, as middleman margins increase more than ...

The European “Slope Current” provides a shelfedge conduit for Atlantic Water, a substantial fraction of which is destined for the northern North Sea, with implications for regional hydrography and ecosystems. Drifters drogued at 50 m in the European Slope Current at the Hebridean shelf break follow a wide range of pathways, indicating highly variable Atlantic inflow to the North Sea. Slope Curr...

thinner towards the north-east and on the northern side of Rakino Island is about 7 in. thick-'--probably a thin dusting of it has influenced' soil fertility on the Noisies Is. further north. On both islands, it covers fossil yellow-brown earths which,' on Motutapu, appear' to have been podzolised in places, indicating that at some stage prior to the eruption kauri had been a component of the v...

The paper examines the gains from North-South trade and their distribution. In a `new growth, new trade' framework, we examine the factors that determine four phases or stages of development in the South as equilibria: specialisation in a traditional good; the South in addition copies Northern innovative manufactured goods; the South begins to innovate in its own right and nally a stage in whic...
