H abitat change and invasions of alien species are usually listed as the two biggest causes of biodiversity loss. When the two coincide, the results can be devastating, because altered habitat often favors alien species adapted to the changed conditions. This is particularly true in streams and rivers of North America, where homogenization of fish faunas through extinction of native species and...

in this paper we introduce two-wavelet constants for square integrable representations of homogeneous spaces. we establishthe orthogonality relations for square integrable representationsof homogeneous spaces which give rise to the existence of aunique self adjoint positive operator on the set of admissiblewavelets. finally, we show that this operator is a constant multiple of identity operator...

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...
