Ecological quality assessment of Kor River in Fars Province using macroinvertebrates indices
Modifications in the ecological structure of macroinvertebrate communities could reflect changes in environmental conditions. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to identify macroinvertebrate…

Examining the Research on Business Information-Entropy Correlation in the Accounting Process of Organizations
TLDR
Analysis of research trends at the international level on business information–entropy correlation in the accounting process of organizations presents an upward trend, which allows a growing interest in the subject to be deduced in the academic and scientific community worldwide.

Geographic patterns of biodiversity in European coastal marine benthos
TLDR
It is concluded that latitudinal trends and regional differences in diversity and densities are strongly influenced by particular sets and ranges of environmental factors and location characteristics specific to certain areas, such as the Baltic with typical salinity clines and the Mediterranean, with higher temperatures.
Biodiversity conservation in Mediterranean and Black Sea lagoons: a trait-oriented approach to benthic invertebrate guilds
TLDR
The results support the relevance of constraints imposed by individual body size on community organization in transitional water ecosystems and the adequacy of size patterns as an indicator for ecological conservation of these fragile ecosystems.
