Thirteen species of megachiropteran bats were captured in primary forest at 830-1000 m on Negros Island in the central Phillippines; 1229 individuals were marked and released. Individuals of six species were recaptured, for an overall recapture rate of 13%. For these six species, mean movement distance ranged from 0.16 to 0.75 km. For the two species with larger sample sizes, HaplonycterisJisch...

For the monitoring and management of forest resources, main index is stand volume, which determined on basis tree diameter, height, number trees per hectare three-dimensional distribution. The development in dynamic driven by random phenomena. In this study, potentially available area, height are described mixed-effect parameters Gompertz-type diffusion process. A normal copula function used to...

in this paper, the energy demand of transport sector from 1385 to 1400 is forecasted based on fuzzy linear regression (flr) approach considering economic and social indicators. in order to analyze the influence of economic and social indicators on energy demand of transport sector, gross domestic product (gdp), population and the total number of vehicles in 1372-1384 were regarded. in this rese...

Although it is difficult, many countries are attempting to balance economic development and cultivated land preservation for various reasons. China’s experience is a good illustration of such challenges during rapid economic development and urbanization. The central government of China emphasized the high self-sufficiency ratio of grain and therefore set a bottom-line for the area of cultivated...

Mangroves of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are matter of concern in climate change scenario. Present area under mangroves was about 617 sq.km. which has been decreasing over the years(Forest Department A and N Islands 2009). The qualitative assessment indicates that mangroves are 10 folds superior to manmade defense systems in dealing with climate associated disasters (subhash etal. 2012). The to...

—We made estimates of annual production of stream trout in two Lake Superior tributaries in northeastern Minnesota in 1977-1978. The Caribou River (total alkalinity, 34 mg/L as CaCO3) drains pan of the north shore of Lake Superior in an igneous rock geology. The Blackhoof River (total alkalinity, 83 mg/L) drains glacial drift and lake clay at the western end of Lake Superior. Annual production ...
