Wild life: The elusive fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is the top predator in the dry deciduous forests of Madagascar, but very little was known about its biology until the 1990s. The presence of volunteer groups studying its role in the forest’s ecology has also helped to protect its habitat. (Photo: Earthwatch/ Luke Dollar.) The world’s latest national park has just been created in the east of Russ...

Dena Biosphere Reserve located in Iran and is a 550 Biosphere Reserve in the worlds. This research was investigated in the two protected and non-protected areas, in a Dena Biosphere Reserve, Kohkeloye va Boyrahmad province, and central zagros forest, southwest of Iran. Inventory methods designed by systemetic-randomaiz method by use the rectangular plots that were 15×30 meters in the 100×100 m ...

efficiency of the existing protected areas network in conservation of biodiversity is one of the most important challenges of protected areas custodians. despite there are numerous articles on evaluating the efficiency of the protected areas for conserving the habitat and species on national and international scales, in iran this subject has not been studied yet. the aim of the present study is...

Observations of the Sun with the LOWL instrument provide a homogeneous set of solar p-mode frequencies from low to intermediate degree which allows one to determine the structure of much of the solar interior avoiding systematic errors that are introduced when diierent data sets are combined, i.e., principally the eeects of solar cycle changes on the frequencies. Unfortunately, the LOWL data se...

The eeect on p-mode frequencies of changing the near-surface structure of solar models is investigated. As is well known, changes connned to the near-surface region have little eeect on the low-frequency p modes: this is as one would expect from a simple asymp-totic description which shows that these modes have upper turning points located well beneath the photosphere. However, some examples of...

x So far, we have substantially failed to demonstrate that SPT is useful. Also organizations still hesitate to adopt SPI methods.
