We describe one new species of Acanthodasys (Gastrotricha, Macrodasyida, Thaumastodermatidae) collected from sublittoral sites around Carrie Bow Cay, Belize and Isla Colón in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, Panama. Though eight species of Acanthodasys are currently recognized, no species has yet been reported from the Caribbean. Acanthodasys caribbeanensissp. n. is characterized by the lack of ...

While the genetic basis to plate morph evolution of the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is well described, the environmental variables that select for different plate and spine morphs are incompletely understood. Using replicate populations of three-spined sticklebacks on North Uist, Scotland, we previously investigated the role of predation pressure and calcium limitation on ...

After around a hundred years of being without any record of occurrence of Paracobitis rhadinaea, a species of Nemacheiline loach, in Sistan basin, southeast of Iran, the year 2012 was the turning point of wild life in this area. Twenty-five specimens were caught from Chahnimeh Reservoir, a water body adjacent to the Hamoun Wetland in Sistan basin. Morphometric and meristic characteristics were ...

Aquatic animals play an important role in the energy flow and matter cycling in the wetland ecosystem. However, little is known about their effects on pollutant removal performance and microbial community in constructed wetlands. This work presents an initial attempt to investigate the effects of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (loach) and Cipangopaludina cathayensis (snail) on nutrient removal perf...

Average age and maximum life span of breeding adult three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were determined in eight Fennoscandian localities with the aid of skeletochronology. The average age varied from 1.8 to 3.6 years, and maximum life span from three to six years depending on the locality. On average, fish from marine populations were significantly older than those from freshwat...

paracobitis rhadinaea , a member of the family nemacheiliidae, originally described by regan in 1906 from sistan basin, is poorely known by the rare materials. the inadequately studied species is redescribed on the base of freshly collected materials. the species differs from all other paracobitis species by combination of the following characters: stout and elongated body; large size, up to 28...

Bu çalışma gerçekliğin yeniden üretimini, sinemadaki anlatı kavramı ekseninde ele alarak, Ken Loach’un I, Daniel Blake (Ben, Blake, 2016) filmi örneğinde tartışmaya çalışmıştır. Çalışmada, sinemasal anlatıların, siyasi ya da ideolojik fikirler doğrultusunda biçimlenişi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Loach sinemasının bu çalışmaya konu edilmesinde, dünyanın en zengin ülkelerinden biri olan İngiltere va...
