Qanat native fish species of Iran for introduction to ornamental fishes industry
The inlandwater resourses are including;lakes,wetlands,rivers ,springs and qanats. The qanat is the water or channel through which water flows from the depths of the earth to its surface. Over the past two decades, studies have been done on the inlandwater resources by writers of this article and other reseachers. The results of the studies showed that 22 fish species belonging to 5 family com...
متن کاملGenetic control of invasive plants species using selfish genetic elements
Invasive plants cause substantial environmental damage and economic loss. Here, we explore the possibility that a selfish genetic element found in plants called cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) could be exploited for weed control. CMS is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial genome that sterilize male reproductive organs. We developed an analytical model and a spatial simulation to assess th...
متن کاملReduced genetic variation and the success of an invasive species.
Despite the severe ecological and economic damage caused by introduced species, factors that allow invaders to become successful often remain elusive. Of invasive taxa, ants are among the most widespread and harmful. Highly invasive ants are often unicolonial, forming supercolonies in which workers and queens mix freely among physically separate nests. By reducing costs associated with territor...
متن کاملGenetic differences in growth of an invasive tree species
Evan Siemann and William E. Rogers Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, U.S.A. Correspondence: Evan Siemann. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Invasive plants are often more vigorous in their introduced ranges than in their native ranges. This may re ̄ect an innate superiority of plants from some habitats or an escape from their enemies. Another hyp...
