Less so abundance, and not mean crowding, c. correlates the expression ' a .unoccupancy + (1? ) c where > 0.8. Patchiness-unoccupancy relationship unaffected by assemblage composition. The macroecological abundance-occupancy is well known; potential one either or bo...

Guilan province is located in south and south-west of the Caspian Sea. Guilan is one of the richest and the most humid region in the country due to suitable climate, ample rainfall and many water sources (springs, rivers, creeks,..),. Despite the prevailing favorable conditions, limnological studies, especially in the mountainous regions of this province are limited. A limnological study was co...

Hypoxia in Chesapeake Bay has substantially increased in recent decades, with detrimental effects on macrobenthic production; the production of these fauna link energy transfer from primary consumers to epibenthic and demersal predators. As such, the development of accurate predictive models that determine the impact of hypoxia on macrobenthic production is important. A continuous-time, biomass...
