Directeur ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have come into existence if not for the assistance of faculty, friends, and family. I would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Matthieu Le Bailly, for his guidance, advice and critique throughout all stages of this project. He has continually provided considerate comments on my work and made time to discuss my research. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Dr. Marjan Mashkour for her invaluable support, understanding and encouragement. I would like to extend special thanks to Prof. Hervé Richard, Prof. Adauto Jose Goncalves de Araujo, Dr. Piers D. Mitchell, Prof. Wim Van Neer and Dr. Françoise Le Mort for their valuable and constructive suggestions and for serving as members on my committee. The Cultural Services of the French Embassy in Iran, the doctoral school of University of Franche-Comté, Campus France, CROUS, CNRS and the Natural History Museum in Paris deserve my gratitude for setting me on this path and financial support. I also gratefully acknowledge the institutional support that I have received while working on this project. In particular, I thank Dr. Fereidoun Biglari from the National Museum of Iran, Abolfazl Aali from the Museum of Zanjan (Iran), and Prof. Thomas Stöllner from Anthropology Department of Ruhr University at Bochum. I owe sincere thankfulness to the members of the paleoparasitology research group: Benjamin Dufour, Céline Maicher, Cecilia Villemin, Alizé Hoffmann, Nathalie Côté and Kévin Roche and also to all members and employees of the laboratory of Chrono- Environment in the University of Franche-Comté for their friendship and assistance. Finally, I would like to thank my family members, my mom, my sisters and my friends in Iran and France who provided me with moral support, encouragement, motivation and inspiration throughout the course of my study. And my beloved wife, Elham, thank you for everything.

    1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial. INTRODUCTION Article 10b of the CBD calls for signatories to ‘Adopt The original brief for this chapter was to review New Zealand’s measures relating to the use of biological resources [i.e. genetic genetic resources.

    Dr. Donald L. Price Center For Parasite Repository and Education College of Public Health, University of South Florida PRESENTS Sources of Infective Stages and Modes of Transmission of Endoparasites Epidemiology is the branch of science that deals with the distribution and spread of disease. How diseases are transmitted, i.e. how they are passed from an infected individual to a susceptible one is a major consideration. Classifying and developing terminology for what takes place has been approached in a variety of ways usually related to specific disease entities such as viruses, bacteria, etc. The definitions that follow apply to those disease entities usually classified as endoparasites i.e. those parasites that reside in a body passage or tissue of the definitive host or in some cases the intermediate host. When the definition of terms for the “Source of Infection” or “Mode of Infection” relate to prevention and/or control of an endoparasitic disease, they should be clearly described. For the source of infection, the medium (water, soil, utensils, etc.) or the host organism (vector, or intermediate host) on which or in which the infective stage can be found should be precisely identified. For the mode of transmission, the precise circumstances and means by which the infective stage is able to come in contact with, enter, and initiate an infection in the host should be described. SOURCE OF INFECTION There are three quite distinct and importantly different kinds of sources of the infective stage of parasites: Contaminated Sources, Infested Sources, and Infected Sources. CONTAMINATE SOURCES Contaminated Source, in parasitology, implies something that has come in contact with raw feces and is thereby polluted with feces or organisms that were present in it.

    236 НОВИНИ СВІТОВОЇ НАУКИ .. ˆ Erdemir Gundogmus,1 ENERGY USE PATTERNS AND ECONOMETRIC MODELS OF QUINCE PRODUCTION This study was conducted to determine the balance between the inputs of energy and the ener getic yield for quince production in Turkey. The data for the study were collected from 34 quince plantations. The total energy input of 49,698.33 MJ ha1 was required for quince production. Chemical fertilizers, the single highest source of energy input, accounted for 52.86% of the total energy input. The two next highest energy sources were diesel fuel (16.27%) and electricity (12.85%). The values of energy efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy, and net energy were 1.07, 0.45 kg MJ1, 2.24 MJ kg1 and 3,510.50 MJ ha1, respectively. Estimates made using econo metric models showed that machinery, pesticides, diesel fuel, electricity and water used for irriga tion energy inputs have significantly positive effects on energy yield. The results of the sensitivity analysis of the energy inputs show that the marginal physical productivity (MPP) value of water for irrigation is the highest, followed by electricity and diesel fuel. Keywords: energy efficiency, econometric model, benefit/cost ratio, quince plantations, Turkey.

Paleoparasitological Diagnosis 15 Paleoparasitological Diagnosis Martín H. Fugassa aleoparasitology emerged in the early 20th century using light microscopy studies. Although numerous tools have Pbeen added since then, light microscopy is still the most widely used method for paleoparasitological examination and study of microfossils. Paleoparasitology has made significant progress in nearly a hundred years, partly through the adoption and adaptation of methodologies developed in other fields such as clinical parasitology and biology molecular. However, the inherent difficulties of archaeological materials require on-going improvement of methods and the introduction of new ones. In the coming years, the extent to which paleoparasitology contributes to paleoecological and anthropological studies will depend largely on increasing the number of samples for examination.
