—The June sucker (Chasmistes liorus) is an endangered lake sucker endemic to Utah Lake, Utah. As part of recovery actions, June suckers were introduced into Red Butte Reservoir, Utah, as a wild grow-out site. Since their introduction, June suckers have successfully reproduced in Red Butte Reservoir, producing a large population in this refuge. I used passive egg collectors (egg traps and nets) ...

Late Quaternary separation of Britain from mainland Europe is considered to be a consequence of spillover of a large proglacial lake in the Southern North Sea basin. Lake spillover is inferred to have caused breaching of a rock ridge at the Dover Strait, although this hypothesis remains untested. Here we show that opening of the Strait involved at least two major episodes of erosion. Sub-bottom...

Algal bioassay tests were conducted with Selenastrum capricornutum and natural algae on inner Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada, from December 1992 through September 1993, to identify any nutrient limitation in an area of the reservoir that has experienced problems associated with severe nutrient enrichment. Three areas were sampled based on a gradient of water quality conditions that existed in...

The study included 144 fishes in Lake of 16 Tishreen Dam for detecting the infection with parasitic Protozoans, and determine distribution rate. Fishes were collected randomly once a month, during period from 22/12/2011 until 22/12/2012. Collected samples belonged to following species: Cyprinus carpio L., Varicorhinus damascinus, Garra rufa, Tilapia zillii, Liza abu. T. zillii was most prevalen...

Harmful algal blooms are increasingly common in aquatic ecosystems and have been linked to runoff from agricultural land. This study investigated the internal nutrient (i.e., phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N)) dynamics of a eutrophic reservoir in the Midwestern United States to constrain the potential for sedimentary nutrients to stimulate harmful algal blooms. The spatial distribution of nutrien...

Few studies have focused on the post-eruption evolution of maar craters and associated lake level changes, although breaching crater rim poses mass-flow flood hazards long after initial eruption. Lake Pavin is a in French Massif central formed by an eruption c. 6700 years ago. The perched edge glacially-shaped valley overlooks surrounding subdued landscape. breached to north overflow channel, s...

• Authors focus on An. arabiensis as the major malaria vector in the area. However, no data is provided regarding other potential malaria vectors that could play an important role on malaria transmission at the Gilgel-Gibe dam site, as An. funestus and An. nili species complex. Were these species collected during the two years entomological survey at all? In the conclusions, it is stated that t...
