The Effect of Sampling Bias on Evaluating the Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Iranian Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae)

Although spiders constitute a highly diversified group of animals, the knowledge regarding their geographic distribution (i.e., the so-called Wallacean shortfall) and diversity patterns is incipient on a global scale; while attempts to explore such patterns have been made for the highly diversified Neotropical fauna, several Old World regions Shell

Asymptotics solutions of a singularly perturbed integro-differential fractional order derivative equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients

In this paper, the regularization method of S.A.Lomov is generalized to the singularly perturbed integrodifferential fractional-order derivative equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients.The main goal of the work is to reveal the influence of the oscillating components on the structure of the asymptotics of the solution to this problem.The cas
