A New and Quantitative Approach to Weighting and Ecological Capability Evaluation and Comparison with the Current Method of Multi-Criteria Evaluation in Agriculture and Rangeland Uses, Sepidan County

Land-use planning is a science that specifies the optimized land-use based on ecological and socioeconomic characteristics.This study investigated ecological capability evaluation for agriculture and rangeland uses using the GIS in the Sepidan County, Fars Province.There are different methods for weighting of parameters.A proposed quantitative meth

Molecular and morphological analysis of the developing nemertean brain indicates convergent evolution of complex brains in Spiralia

Abstract Background The brain anatomy in the clade Spiralia can vary from simple, commissural brains (e.g., gastrotrichs, rotifers) to rather complex, partitioned structures (e.g., in cephalopods and annelids).How often and in which lineages complex brains evolved still remains unclear.Nemerteans are a clade of worm-like spiralians, which possess a
