Analysis of landings and environmental variables time series from the Caspian Sea
In the present study, the time series encompassing the years 1950-2011 of commercial landings from the Caspian Sea were analyzed using min/max autocorrelation factor analysis (MAFA) and dynamic factor analysis (DFA). These aim was to identify trends and explore the relationships between the response variables (annual landings of 10 species/groups such as kilkas, kutum, common carp, pike perch, ...

Drought is one of the most serious problems arising for human societies and ecosystems from climatevariability. This phenomenon causes billions of dollars in global damages annually and affects morepeople than any other form of natural disasters.In this study, the trends of rainfall and meteorological drought time series were investigated at tenstations located in the east of Iran for the perio...
متن کاملDistribution patterns of Convolvulaceae in Iran: priorities for conservation
Assessing priorities is the most important action in conservation programs. Rudimentary, mapping of diversity, and distribution patterns have been used to set priorities on diverse scales. The distribution patterns of plant taxa, largely reflect an actual ecological niche. Convolvulaceae s.str exhibits cosmopolitan dispersal of diverse life forms and includes 50–60 genera comprising 1600–1700 s...
متن کاملTemporal Variation in Rocky Intertidal Gastropods of the Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf
Gastropod assemblages were investigated along intertidal rocky shore in the Qeshm Island in the northern Persian Gulf. Monthly sampling was undertaken from May 2007 to April 2008. Environmental factors were also measured in each site. A total of 28 gastropod taxa belonging to 15 families were identified and Cerithiidae was the most abundant family and Cerithium caeruleum was the most abundant...
