INTRODUCTION A. Project Background and Purpose of Report 1. The Republic of Armeni a is a landlocked count ry between the Black and the Cas pian Seas, bordered on the n orth by Georgia, to the east by Aze rbaijan, on the south by Iran, and to the west by Turkey as shown in Figure 1. Yerevan covers an area of 260km2 extending 18km north-south and 16km east-west with the centre and the south of the City at a lower geographic level. 1. Project Background 2. Like other New Independent States of the former Soviet Uni on, Armenia's economy still suffers from the lega cy of a centrally planned economy and the brea kdown of fo rmer Sovie t trading net works. Investment from these states in support of Armenian industry h as virtually disappeared, and consequently few major enterprises are st ill able to function. The structure of Armenia's economy has changed substantially since 1991 , with sector s such as construction and services replacing agriculture and industry as the main contributors to the economic growth. Other industrial se ctors driving industrial gr owth includ e energy, metallurgy, and food processing. 3. Steady economic progr ess ha s ear ned Armenia increa sing support from international institutions. The International Monetary Fu nd (IMF), World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), as well as other internation al financia l institutions (IFIs) and foreign countries are extending con siderable gr ants and loans. These loans are targeted at reducing t he budget deficit; stabilizing the l ocal curren cy; developing private businesses related to energy, a griculture, f ood processing, transp ortation, and health and education sectors. In D ecember 2005, the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation approved a 5-year $235 million contract with the Governm ent of Armenia, which was t o focus on rehabilitation of irrigation networks and upgrading of rural transport infrastructure. 4. There has been little traffic forecasting, with the last study conducted in 2007 through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, by engineering consultancy SWECO. That study used gross domestic product (GDP) per capita to forecast the future growth in car ownership. This is ba sed on car ownership of 80 per 1,000 of population in 2007, projected to incr ease to 344 per 1,00 0 by 2026. The carbon dioxide emissions related to passenger transport are expected to increase by 160% o ver this period resulting in increased greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to climate change. Other adverse effects of passenger transport such as air pollu tion, traffic congestion, and noise are also likely to increasingly affect t he environment and qua lity of life in a negative way. 5. Yerevan has seen increasing and rapid economic development, resulting in: (i) Growing car ownership and increasing congestion; (ii) Outdated public transport; (iii) Safety issues; and (iv) Decreased air quality linked to vehicle emissions. 6. Yerevan ha s a high ro ad traffic accident rate with the number of recorded accid ents increasing 65% from 2001 to 2006, with steady increases over these years. Approximately one- fifth of these accidents are fatal. 2 2. The Project 7. During 2007, The Mun icipality of Yerevan worked with th e World Ba nk on the p ublic transport network, traffic management, parking, and ticketing systems, and has s et relevant objectives. The Asian Developme nt Bank (ADB) is now working with Govern ment of Arme nia and the Municipality to address some of the objectives by improving municipal infrastructure and reducing ro ad transport ation constr aints on e conomic activity. The program aims to promote efficient an d effective urban transport service s with in centives and capacity to improve the quality, reliability, accessibility, affordability, integration, and coverage of transport services. The Yerevan Sustainable Urban Transport Program has been d eveloped and is to be fu nded by the ADB under a Multi-tranche Financi ng Facility (MFF) Investment Program. The fo ur proposed engineering projects under Tranche 1 of the Program, as shown in Figure 2, are: (i) Project 1 - Davitashen Bridge to Ashtarak Highway Road Link; (ii) Project 2 - Argavand Highway to Shirak Street Road Link; (iii) Project 3 - Shirak Street to Artashat Highway Road Link; and (iv) Project 4 - Metro Opera House Entrance Upgrade (Yeritasardakan). 8. The three road projects will complete the missing road links of the Yerevan west byp ass

  • Feature Saltation and the Evolution of Mimicry
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2011.01482.x FEATURE SALTATION AND THE EVOLUTION OF MIMICRY Gabriella Gamberale-Stille,1,2 Alexandra C. V. Balogh,1,3 Birgitta S. Tullberg,1 and Olof Leimar1,4 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, 10691 Stockholm, Sweden 2E-mail: [email protected] 3Environmental & Marine Biology, Abo˚ Akademi University, FIN-20520 Turku, Finland 4Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, Wallotstrasse 19, 14193 Berlin, Germany Received May 27, 2011 Accepted September 26, 2011 In Batesian mimicry, a harmless prey species imitates the warning coloration of an unpalatable model species. A traditional suggestion is that mimicry evolves in a two-step process, in which a large mutation first achieves approximate similarity to the model, after which smaller changes improve the likeness. However, it is not known which aspects of predator psychology cause the initial mutant to be perceived by predators as being similar to the model, leaving open the question of how the crucial first step of mimicry evolution occurs. Using theoretical evolutionary simulations and reconstruction of examples of mimicry evolution, we show that the evolution of Batesian mimicry can be initiated by a mutation that causes prey to acquire a trait that is used by predators as a feature to categorize potential prey as unsuitable. The theory that species gain entry to mimicry through feature saltation allows us to formulate scenarios of the sequence of events during mimicry evolution and to reconstruct an initial mimetic appearance for important examples of Batesian mimicry. Because feature-based categorization by predators entails a qualitative distinction between nonmimics and passable mimics, the theory can explain the occurrence of imperfect mimicry.

Iskanderov, S.B. Ahmedov and G.A. Qasymova Institute of Zoology of the NAS of Azerbaijan AZ-1073, A. Abasov street, travel 1128, block 504, Baku city, Azerbaijan Abstract: The article deals with the distribution, number and morphological features and specifies new places for finding the Transcaucasian rat snake in Azerbaijan. Due to these findings, the distribution borders of the species in Azerbaijan along the slopes of the Greater Caucasus widened in the northeast direction (Guba region, Hashi village). The population size is established, which varies in the range of 0.02-0.03 individuals per hectare of biotope area. Locations of the main localities are shown. Morphological characteristics of the species and the main indicators of morphometry and folidosis are given. Morphometric indicators of both sexes indicate the presence of sexual dimorphism. Body length in females is greater (72.9 ± 4.6 cm) than in males (61.5 ± 2.3). Compared to males, the female has a longer body than the tail. Key words: Transcaucasian Rat Snake Distribution Density Morphometric Parameters INTRODUCTION numbers. Special studies on the study of biology, ecology and the state of populations of the The Transcaucasian rat snake (Zamenis Transcaucasian rat snake in Azerbaijan were not hohenackeri Strauch, 1873, synonyms: Coluber carried out.

  • Hyles Hippophaes
    Report under the Article 17 of the Habitats Directive European Environment Period 2007-2012 Agency European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Hyles hippophaes Annex IV Priority No Species group Arthropods Regions Alpine, Black Sea, Continental, Mediterranean, Steppic The seathorn hawk-moth (Hyles hippophaes) is a species of moth which is found in nearly all countries in between Spain and France on the one side and China on the other side. This species occurs in three different geographical regions. In the Continental, Black Sea and Mediterranean bioregion the status has been assessed as ‘unknown’ due to a lack of data from France, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria. In the Alpine and Steppic bioregion its status has been assessed as unfavourable-inadequate (improving from unfavourable-bad and Romania - new country and new bioregion). A huge lack of data from the three countries makes a proper assessment of this species’ status hardly possible. The same accounts for the IUCN which has labeled this species’ conservation status with ‘Data Deficient’.
