THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND INVASIVE ALIEN PREDATOR ON GENETIC AND PHENOTYPIC VARIATION IN THE DAMSELFLY ISCHNURA ELEGANS: CROSS-LATITUDE COMPARISON

Abstract Background Understanding and predicting how organisms respond to human-caused environmental changes has become a major concern in conservation biology.Here, we linked gene expression and phenotypic data to identify candidate genes underlying existing phenotypic trait differentiation under individual and combined environmental variables.For

This article argues that a more critical approach to innovation policy within planning is needed and offers recommendations for achieving this.These recommendations entail rethinking the values, focus, speed, and legitimacy of innovations.It takes a critical perspective on how contemporary societies treat rapid innovation as having necessarily posi

Harvest control rules are widely used by management agencies for decision-making and for promoting public awareness of the status of marine and freshwater fisheries.Many current control rules combine fishing mortality and biomass-based biological reference points.Control rules were introduced as a precaution against the influence of uncertainty and

Introduction: Satureja Khuzestanica (S.Khuzestanica) is one of the native plants of Iran that grows in areas such as Khuzestan and Lorestan.The current study was designed to evaluate the effects of S.Khuzestanica on lipid profile, especially on decreasing serum cholesterol, liver enzymes, and lipid peroxidation in Hatchets male hamsters with high f

A set of systematical optimum operational parameters for wind turbines under various wind directions is derived by using combined momentum-energy and blade-element-energy concepts.The derivations are solved numerically by fixing some parameters at practical values.Then, the interactions between the produced power and the influential factors of it a
