متن کاملLimits on the Global Distribution of Horseshoe Crabs (Limulacea): Lessons Learned from Two Lifetimes of Observations: Asia and America
This paper is based on the premise that understanding the natural history and ecology of the horseshoe crabs (Limulacea) is paramount to conservation of the species. Our objective has been to select those large-scale, global parameters that help to define the opportunities for, and the limits on, their distribution. Essentially, we have selected the big-picture type of conditions pertinent to c...
متن کاملStudy on the variation of plant species diversity components along elevation gradient using additive partitioning (case study: protected area of Geno, Hormozgan province)
Conservation of vegetation is one of most important tools for conservation of soil and decreasing erosion. Therefore, knowledge about vegetation characteristics, such as diversity, is the first and most important biological tools for soil conservation. One of the methods in which we can collect useful data about plant diversity, is additive partitioning. In the current study, plant species dive...
