However, fish biodiversity has declined rapidly in this area as the result of human activities and the consequent environmental changes. Beta diversity was a key concept for understanding the ecosystem function and biodiversity conservation. Beta diversity patterns are evaluated and important information provided for protection and management of fish biodiversity in the Luoxiao Mountains.

We are especially grateful to organizations that follow an open policy and make their data available in an interactive form on their websites such as MINECO and EUROCAT. This facilitated the recalculation of some data for the present work. The authors would like to thank the members of the steering committee for their expert advice and critical comments. The authors Endocrine disrupters, Mahmoud et al 2005 for AMINAL 2 Summary Based on the evidence we gathered on the possible health impacts of endocrine disruption, we generated a list of pathologies possibly related to endocrine disruptors. The availability of medical data on the relevant pathologies in Flanders was then explored through contacts with many organizations and experts. A suggested strategy was developed for the retrieval of these data and linking them to data on environmental pollution. The relevant pathologies were then ranked according to the evidence available and the relevance to the Flemish situation in a descending order of priority (see below).

Methods: We analysed data from the Roma Regional Survey 2011 implemented in twelve countries of Central and South-East Europe with random samples of approximately 750 households in Roma settlements and 350 households in nearby non-Roma communities in each country. The overall sample comprises 11,373 individuals (8,234 Roma) with a proportion of women of 57% and an average age of 36 years.

  • Closing the Life Expectancy Gap of Roma in Europe Executive Summary
    CLOSING THE LIFE EXPECTANCY GAP OF ROMA IN EUROPE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) is currently undertaking an evidence-based literature review on the Roma life expectancy gap, based on the following indicators: 1. Life expectancy gap between Roma and non-Roma 2. Roma children and infant mortality 3. Determinants of life expectancy The poor state of health in Roma communities is prevalent—and largely ignored—across Europe. Some Roma are completely excluded from health care, while most face hostility and discrimination within healthcare settings. Available literature on Roma and health agrees that: • Roma people suffer from poorer health and unhealthier living conditions compared to majority populations; • better data is needed to explain the Roma health gap and design better interventions to reduce this gap; • the poor health of Roma is closely linked to the social determinants of health¹. Studies have consistently found that Roma health is worse than the health of the majority populations or other ethnic minority groups. Estimated life expectancy for Roma is consistently lower than corresponding national averages. Infant mortality among Roma is estimated to exceed national averages by several percentage points. Roma are less likely to be covered by health insurance. Roma do not appear to enjoy preventive health care on equal footing with non-Roma and instead are more likely to rely on emergency services. Academics and advocates identify inadequate living conditions, poverty, limited education, and pervasive discrimination against Roma by health care professionals and the public as the key reasons for the poor health of Roma². Like all Europeans, Roma represent patients, caregivers, and families.

    ECOLOGIA BALKANICA International Scientific Research Journal of Ecology Volume 4, Issue 1 June 2012 UNION OF SCIENTISTS IN BULGARIA – PLOVDIV UNIVERSITY OF PLOVDIV PUBLISHING HOUSE ii International Standard Serial Number Print ISSN 1314-0213; Online ISSN 1313-9940 Aim & Scope „Ecologia Balkanica” is an international scientific journal, in which original research articles in various fields of Ecology are published, including ecology and conservation of microorganisms, plants, aquatic and terrestrial animals, physiological ecology, behavioural ecology, population ecology, population genetics, community ecology, plant-animal interactions, ecosystem ecology, parasitology, animal evolution, ecological monitoring and bioindication, landscape and urban ecology, conservation ecology, as well as new methodical contributions in ecology. Studies conducted on the Balkans are a priority, but studies conducted in Europe or anywhere else in the World is accepted as well. Published by the Union of Scientists in Bulgaria – Plovdiv and the University of Plovdiv Publishing house – twice a year. Language: English. Peer review process All articles included in “Ecologia Balkanica” are peer reviewed. Submitted manuscripts are sent to two or three independent peer reviewers, unless they are either out of scope or below threshold for the journal. These manuscripts will generally be reviewed by experts with the aim of reaching a first decision as soon as possible. The journal uses the double anonymity standard for the peer-review process. Reviewers do not have to sign their reports and they do not know who the author(s) of the submitted manuscript are. We ask all authors to provide the contact details (including e-mail addresses) of at least four potential reviewers of their manuscript.

Zoological Studies 46(5): 547-560. Variations in nucleotide sequences within the mitochondrial control region were used to deter- mine the paleogeography of speciation and diversification of 2 balitorids endemic to Taiwan. Examination of 11 populations of Hemimyzon formosanus and 5 populations of H. taitungensis respectively revealed 23 and 11 haplotypes within the mitochondrial control regions. Utilizing the neighbor-joining method and maximum-parsi- mony trees, we showed the presence of 3 groups and 2 subgroups in H. formosanus, and 1 group in H. taitun- gensis. The nested clade analysis, a method with a higher resolution, revealed that the 1 group of H. taitun- gensis could be further divided into 2 subgroups on the minimum spanning network. The nested clade analysis predicted the evolutionary divergence of populations in H. formosanus due to past fragmentation; furthermore, dispersion among populations of H.
