This study applied statistical approaches to the discrimination of spatial variations between sites and between forest types in the upper area of the Liukuei Experimental Forest of Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taiwan. The main purpose was to compare the effectiveness of various statistical approaches and then present the best strategy for discriminating the spatial variations of species ...

The study was carried out to compare the biodiversity parameters of insect species in natural and un-natural habitats Gölcük Nature Park (Isparta Province) between 2018 2019. Two two unnatural (impact tourism) were selected realize mentioned aim. Totally 40 pitfall traps (10 for each habitat) set up sample Coleoptera species. Species richness found higher than ones. Diversity index (both Shanno...

We quantified the diversity of oxygenic phototrophic microorganisms present in eight hypersaline microbial mats on the basis of three cultivation-independent approaches. Morphological diversity was studied by microscopy. The diversity of carotenoids was examined by extraction from mat samples and high-pressure liquid chromatography analysis. The diversity of 16S rRNA genes from oxygenic phototr...

due to the lack of specified linage and parentage information from exotic broodstocks of litopenaeus vannamei shrimp, in iran and multiple breeding of closed broodstock populations, also concern about the low level of genetic diversity and accumulated inbreeding and in order to comparison of the genetic variability indices and analysis of the genetic differentiation, total of 30 samples from bo...

The basin of the Sinos River, located in the northeastern part of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, has been highly impacted by industrial and urban activities. Water quality is low because of domestic and industrial sewage discharges. Most of the tributaries have suffered drastic structural interventions like canalisations and the removal of riparian vegetation. The aims of this study were to: ...

Grasslands play important roles in ecosystem production and support a large farming and grazing industry. An accurate and efficient way is needed to estimate grassland health and production for monitoring and adjusting management to get sustainable products and other ecosystem services. Previous studies of grasslands have shown varying relationships between productivity and biodiversity, with m...
