Declining Occurrence and Low Colonization Probability in Freshwater Mussel Assemblages: A Dynamic Occurrence Modeling Approach

Dynamic Scenes and Appearance Modeling for Robust Object Detection and Matching Based on Co-occurrence Probability

Effects of Severe Drought on Freshwater Mussel Assemblages

-We examined changes in freshwater mussel abundance and species composition at eight sites in Alabama and Mississippi in response to a severe drought in 2000. Five small-stream sites in Bankhead National Forest were heavily impacted by drought; one site dried almost completely, and four sites experienced total or near cessation of flow but retained water in their channels to a large extent. In ...

Occurrence of Salmonella in Freshwater Fishes: a Review

Fishes account for approximately 17% of the global animal protein intake. Fish and fishery products, however, have been documented as a carrier of food-borne pathogens. Fishes serve as a host to a variety of parasites including Salmonella.Salmonella, usually, is not a fish pathogen, rather the consumption of Salmonella contaminated feed and water causes this infection. Smoked fishes serves as a...

Occurrence and Distribution of Primary Freshwater Molluscs in Singapore

Freshwater molluscs are important components of the fauna of Singapore. However, a perusal of local literature has shown a paucity of information on these animals. A survey was conducted to investigate the occurrence and distribution of the primary (non-brackish) freshwater molluscs of Singapore. Six different types of habitats were sampled from around the island. Four localities were chosen to...

Modeling the Occurrence or Non-occurrence of Belief-based “runs”

“Runs” on banks and on similar financial intermediaries have been a recurrent phenomenon. In some cases, a run has occurred when depositors or investors have received information that the intermediary lacks sufficent resources to honor all of its claims. Then there is a race to present claims to the intermediary before those resources run out. But many people—including market participants and e...
