Headwater species and peripheral populations that occupy habitat at the edge of a species range may hold an increased conservation value to managers due to their potential to maximize intraspecies diversity and species' adaptive capabilities in the context of rapid environmental change. The southern Appalachian Mountains are the southern extent of the geographic range of native Salvelinus fonti...

CAUSES AND FUNCTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF DENITRIFYING BACTERIA COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN STREAMS AFFECTED TO VARYING DEGREES BY WATERSHED URBANIZATION by

Urban stream environments have been significantly altered through processes of colonisation and urbanisation. In Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, there is growing interest in peeling back layers the city to reconnect with waterways. More-than-human geographies can play a critical role contributing these efforts, guiding understandings what it means restore live alongside ur...

The inability of central banks to attain their target inflation rates in recent years has raised questions about the extent which can control process. This paper discusses evolution thought and evidence since 1960s on determinants role that should be played by banks. highlights roles two streams associated with Milton Friedman: monetarist theories predicting a key for monetary aggregates determ...

The removal of conifers through commercial timber harvesting has been successful in restoring aspen, however many aspen stands are located near streams, and there are concerns about potential aquatic ecosystem impairment. We examined the effects of management-scale conifer removal from aspen stands located adjacent to streams on water quality, solar radiation, canopy cover, temperature, aquatic...

The ecology of viruses has been studied only in a limited number of rivers and streams. In light of a recent re-appraisal of the global fluvial surface area, issues such as abundance and production, host mortality and the influence of suspended particles and biofilms are addressed. Viral life cycles, potential impacts of viruses on water biochemistry and carbon flow, and viral diversity are con...

We conduct and analyze two large surveys of hypothetical annuitization choices. We find that allowing individuals to annuitize a fraction of their wealth increases annuitization relative to a situation where annuitization is an "all or nothing" decision. Very few respondents choose declining real payout streams over flat or increasing real payout streams of equivalent expected present value. Hi...
