Abstract Seismic anisotropy is observed in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of the mantle. This anisotropy likely signifies strong deformation, possibly caused by mantle flow interacting with the edges of Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) or by the ascent of mantle plumes originating near these regions.

Determining karyotype of sturgeons
Karyotype of sturgeons Huso huso, Acipenser stellatus, and Acipenser persicus from southern region of- the Caspian Sea, has been examined by use of blood tissue culture. By counting fifty completely extended metaphase plates, the number of chromosomes in Huso huso, and Acipenser stellatus, were determined to be 2n=115±1, NF=356, and 2n=114±1, NF=372 ...

Measuring critical thermal maximum in aquatic ectotherms: A practical guide
Abstract Critical thermal limits, commonly quantified as CTmax (maximum) or CTmin (minimum), are core metrics in the thermal biology of aquatic ectotherms. CTmax, in particular, has recently surged in popularity due to its various applications, including understanding and predicting the responses of animals to climate warming.

Changing Lanes? Exploring Mergers and Acquisitions in the Global Auto Sector Through GPN 2.0
ABSTRACT There has been an increase in the volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) throughout the global auto sector, but there is strikingly little empirical detail surrounding the nature, evolution and geographies of this activity. This article addresses this gap by analysing intra‐ and inter‐sectoral M&A deals throughout the period of 2001–2020 to

Abstract Hepato‐somatic index (HSI) is widely used to indicate fish body condition and level of energy reserves related to feeding/physiology and reproduction. HSI is traditionally obtained by dissection and measurement of liver mass versus body mass, but ultrasound technology may provide a minor invasive method to obtain liver dimensions to estimate ...

Abstract Understanding fish life history is essential for effective management of fisheries, but continuous tracking over lifetime temporal scales can be difficult. Fish otoliths contain a natural biogeochemical record of ambient environmental conditions and habitat use over such scales.
