## Abstract The effects of randomness of food supply on the composition of a model community with a single trophic level was studied by the use of a Monte Carlo model. Many of the features of benthic communities, including coβexistence of many species in apparent species mosaics, can be seen to be

On November 9, 1919, The New York Times reported solar eclipse observations confirming a prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity: rays of starlight bend near the sun. It also reported that when Einstein sent his theory to the publishers, "he warned them that there were not more than tw
## Abstract A Monte Carlo model for the growth of phytoplankton in a regenerative system has been constructed. This model assumes that nutrients are regenerated randomly in time and space at the scale which is important to the individual organisms. Under such a regime, organisms originally arrayed
## Abstract Knowledge of plankton biogeography for the Indian and adjacent seas is necessary for an understanding of the regional characteristics and changes in the plankton composition. Some of the plankters will serve as good biogeographical indicator species. Some phytoplankters and tintinnids a
Although heterochromatin has been studied for 80 years, its genetic function and molecular organization have remained elusive. In almost all organisms, heterochromatin has been regarded as genetically inactive chromosome regions. However, from genetic and genomic studies in Drosophila melanogaster a
