Density, mitotic index, Chlorophyll-a content and cell size of symbiotic dinoflagellates of dominant reef-building corals were measured at two different depths in Kish Island and from one depth of Larak Island in the Persian Gulf. The higher densities of symbionts were found in shallow waters of Kish Island. However, ANOVA analyses of the mitotic index yielded mixed results. The cell sizes of s...

Kish Island is a popular tourist destination in Iran, and tourism plays an important role in its economy. The volume of waste produced in the island has increased given the construction of numerous industrial projects over the past decade, as well as an increase in the tourist population. This expansion signals a need to create new methods of waste disposal. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA...

the economic importance of tick infestation on camels are important as they are important meat and milk producer animals in the less vegetation area of iran and their health and production are greatly affected by the high tick infestation. in this investigation, tick infestations on camels (camelus dromedarius) were determined in qeshm island, iran. a total number of 912 adult ticks (472 males ...

Mangrove forests are one of the world’s most threatened tropical ecosystems. The study aimed assessing composition and diversity species in Camotes Island, Philippines, as basis for its conservation protection. A Belt line transect method was used, with a minimum length 1000m maximum 2000m along landward, middle, seaward at an interval 100m. Quadrat 10 x 10m were established within 250m. All pl...

Klebsiella sp. cause a wide range of human infections, particularly nosocomial septicaemia, pneumonia and urinary tract infections. Like other Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella are likely to possess plastic genomes comprised of core regions interspersed with horizontally acquired genomic islands. As phenylalanine tRNA genes are known to be occupied by islands in other Enterobacteriaceae, we utiliz...

A basic kinetic model that incorporates a coupled dynamics of the carbon atoms and dimers on a copper surface is used to compute growth of a single-layer graphene island. The speed of the island’s edge advancement on Cu[111] and Cu[100] surfaces is computed as a function of the growth temperature and pressure. Spatially resolved concentration profiles of the atoms and dimers are determined, and...

Climate change and global warming lead to changes in the sea level shoreline, which pose a huge threat island regions. Therefore, it is important effectively detect shoreline changes. Taiwan typical island, located at junction of East China Sea South Pacific Northwest, deeply affected by In this research, was selected as study area. an efficient detection method proposed based on semantic segme...

Two new species of the family Enchelidiidae Filipjev, 1918 were collected from marine sediments near Maemul Island in South Korea: a new species of Abelbolla Huang & Zhang, 2004 and a new species of Ledovitia Filipjev, 1927. Abelbolla maemulensis sp. nov. is characterized by its small size (1,493 × 38 µm, body length × maximum body diameter); the presence of a circular amphid; the gubernacular ...

The external morphology of the fourth-instar larva Antarctic endemic chironomid midge Belgica antarctica is described. Larvae were collected from Jougla Point (Wiencke Island) and an un-named island close to Enterprise Island, off coast western Peninsula. Light microscopy was used examine document photographically structures mouthparts (mandible, mentum, premandible, labrum), antennae, pecten e...
