Studies suggest that, unlike the situation in temperate lakes, high biomasses of omnivorous fish are maintained in subtropical and tropical lakes when they shift from a turbid phytoplankton-dominated state to a clear water macrophyte-dominated state, and the predation pressure on large-bodied zooplankton therefore remains high. Whether this reflects a higher degree of herbivory in warm lakes th...

Several commercial single-beam acoustic seabed mapping systems have come to market in the last decade, but the potential for mapping coral reef habitats with these systems has not been systematically documented. Three datasets from the Florida Keys, USA, and the Bahamas, all acquired by a Quester Tangent Series V (QTCV), revealed that rock and sediment were reliably distinguished across multipl...

Introduction: In the current study, we compared h5-index provided by Google Scholar (GS), impact factor (IF) provided by web of sciences (WOS), and SCImago journal rank indicator (SJR) provided by SCOPUS for quality assessment of nuclear medicine journals. Methods: 2013 h5-index, 2012 IF, and 2011 SJR of nuclear medicine journals were extracted from their publishers namely GS, WOS, and SCOPUS....

Benthic components of tropical mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are home to diverse fish assemblages, but the effect multiscale spatial benthic characteristics on MCE is not well understood. To investigate influence fine-scale seascape structure and broad-scale environmental fish, we surveyed assemblages in Seychelles at 30, 60 120 m depth using submersible video transects. Spatial pattern me...

Chromosomal microarrays (CMAs) are routinely used in both research and clinical laboratories; yet, little attention has been given to the estimation of genome-wide true and false negatives during the assessment of these assays and how such information could be used to calibrate various algorithmic metrics to improve performance. Low-throughput, locus-specific methods such as fluorescence in sit...
