Power-law versus exponential distributions of animal group sizes [PDF]
There has been some confusion concerning the animal group-size: an exponential distribution was deduced by maximizing the entropy; lognormal distributions were practically used; a power-law decay with exponent {3/2} was proposed in physical analogy to ...

Genetic study of populations of two species of genus <i>Trachurus: T. lathami and T. symmetricus</i>
We conducted a population genetics study of two species of the genus Trachurus: T. symmetricus and T. lathami by analyzing the genetic structure of each species. This was performed by enzymes and mitochondrial DNA electrophoresis in starch, polyacrylamide and agarose respectively to establish the degree of relationship between species. The results show
