CATCHMENT-SCALE CONSERVATION UNITS IDENTIFIED FOR THE THREATENED YARRA PYGMY PERCH (NANNOPERCA OBSCURA) IN HIGHLY MODIFIED RIVER SYSTEMS.

Catchment-scale conservation units identified for the threatened Yarra pygmy perch (Nannoperca obscura) in highly modified river systems.

Habitat fragmentation caused by human activities alters metapopulation dynamics and decreases biological connectivity through reduced migration and gene flow, leading to lowered levels of population genetic diversity M Bags and to local extinctions.The threatened Yarra pygmy perch, Nannoperca obscura, is a poor disperser found in small, isolated po

Feasibility of the Medial Temporal lobe Atrophy index (MTAi) and derived methods for measuring atrophy of the medial temporal lobe

Introduction: the Medial Temporal-lobe Atrophy index (MTAi), 2D-Medial Temporal Atrophy (2D-MTA), yearly rate of MTA (yrRMTA) and yearly rate of relative MTA (yrRMTA) are simple protocols for measuring the relative extent of atrophy in the MTL in relation to the global brain atrophy.Albeit PINK GRAPEFRUIT preliminary studies showed interest of thes
