To investigate the extent and causes of recent quaking aspen (Populus
tremuloides) recruitment in northern Yellowstone National Park, we measured browsing
intensity and height of young aspen in 87 randomly selected aspen stands in 2012, and
compared our results to similar data collected in 1997–1998. We also examined the
relationship...

Small-scale shrimp farmers have contributed significantly to the increasing of shrimp production in Indonesia. In line with increasing production, they have also faced with various risks, thus resulting in high fluctuation of their income. Risk management strategies are needed to cope the risks and to increase their sustainability in shrimp...
Due to establishment of five international organizations for tuna fisheries, tuna fishing in high seas are consequentially transformed from a time of free competition to a time of cooperative competition on the platforms created by those international organizations. The paper explores the openness, procedures of decision-making, allocation of fishing quotas...

Large numbers of hatchery salmon spawn in wild populations each year. Hatchery
fish with multiple generations of hatchery ancestry often have heritably lower
reproductive success than wild fish and may reduce the fitness of an entire population.
Whether this reduced fitness also occurs for hatchery fish created with
local- and...

Background:
Very few closed genomes of the cyanobacteria that commonly produce toxic blooms in lakes and reservoirs are available, limiting our understanding of the properties of these organisms. A new anatoxin-a-producing member of the Nostocaceae, Anabaena sp. WA102, was isolated from a freshwater lake in Washington State, USA, in 2013...

In transboundary river basins, political borders oftentimes trace shared rivers across a basin. A border between territories can be seen as a space that is separated; however, it is actually one with the potential to unite populations and environments. A river basin is generally defined by its topography and hydrology....
Four multicyclic complex calderas and smaller ignimbrite shields located within the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex of the Central Andes (APVC) erupted 13000 km³ of magma within the last 11 Ma. One of the largest and most complex of these is the Cerro Guacha Caldera. Ar-Ar age determinations and paleomagnetic directions...
