Abstract Scomberoides commersonnianus is one of the commercially important fishes of the family Carangidae. In this study, 563 specimens (292 males, 247 females, and 24 sexually unknown ones) were collected from the north-west of the Persian Gulf. Length-weight relationships and condition factors were determined for each sex in four length classes within different seasons. In general, the growt...

The present study characterizes the relations among maternal condition, litter size, birth condition, and growth in body weight for a population of common marmosets. The subjects of the study were marmosets born into a single colony between 1994 and 2001. Three sets of analyses were conducted to answer the following questions: 1) Is there a relationship between litter size, maternal condition, ...

In this paper, we obtain a sucient condition for boundedness of composition operators betweenweighted spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane whenever our weights are standardanalytic weights, but they don't necessarily satisfy any growth condition.

Many observers have conceptualised the link between rural poverty and environment as a ‘downward spiral’ with population growth and economic marginalisation leading to environmental degradation. Recent micro-scale empirical research challenges this model, showing striking heterogeneity in environmental management by the rural poor, their success in adapting to environmental change and the effic...
