متن کاملFish trypanosomes from the Okavango Delta, Botswana.

These trypanosomes displayed differing staining properties, were morphometrically variable, and ranged in total length from 29.5 to 80.8 microm. Mixed populations of the smaller and larger trypanosomes were found in most fish exa...

متن کاملWelfare Measurement under Threats of Environmental Catastrophes
Welfare measures under threats of environmental catastrophes are studied using the ”parable” apparatus of Weitzman and Löfgren [28]. The occurrence probability of the catastrophic events is driven (at least partly) by anthropogenic activities such as natural resource exploitation. Without external effects, the green NNP is a genuine welfare measure vis-à-vis a particular parable economy. Often,...
متن کاملEnvironmental hydro-refugia demonstrated by vegetation vigour in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
Climate shifts at decadal scales can have environmental consequences, and therefore, identifying areas that act as environmental refugia is valuable in understanding future climate variability. Here we illustrate how, given appropriate geohydrology, a rift basin and its catchment can buffer vegetation response to climate signals on decadal time-scales, therefore exerting strong local environmen...
