REPRODUCTIVE PATTERN OF AN EXPLOITED DUSKY GROUPER EPINEPHELUS MARGINATUS (COPYRIGHT 1834) (PISCES: SERRANIDAE) POPULATION IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN

The reproductive parameters of the dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus, in the Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean) were studied with a histological analysis of specimens caught by artisanal and recreational spear fisheries.The histological examination of the gonads showed that the dusky grouper spawning season extends from late spring to the

Examples of current research into systematic errors in climate models are used to demonstrate the importance of scale interactions on diurnal,intraseasonal and seasonal timescales for the mean and variability of the tropical climate system.It has enabled some conclusions to be drawn about possible processes that may need to be represented

We use German KiGGS data to add to existing knowledge about trends in vaccination-related attitudes and behavior.Looking at vaccinations against measles, we assess whether a low confidence in vaccination and vaccination complacency is particularly prevalent among parents whose children were born somewhat recently, as compared to parents whose child

With the advances in high-throughput technologies, millions of somatic mutations have been reported in the past decade.Identifying driver genes with oncogenic mutations from these data is a critical and challenging problem.Many computational methods have been proposed to predict driver genes.Among them, machine learning-based methods usually train
