main environmental factors that structure fish assemblages among European tidal estuaries. The present paper focuses on the influence of large-scale environmental gradients on estuarine fish species richness. The environment of 135 North-eastern Atlantic estuaries from Portugal to Scotland was characterised by various descriptors especially related to hydromorphology. Major environmental trends among estuaries were underlined using multivariate techniques and cluster analyses applied to abiotic

black slaves to be sold to plantation owners. From America to Europe: ships carried sugar to be sold in Europe From Europe to Africa: ships carried guns, metal goods and textiles to exchange for the slaves. By the mid-1700s, 70 000 slaves a year were being taken across the Atlantic. About 4 million African were sold into slavery by British traders.

number vary greatly. Mistaking the place where he landed -- San Salvador in the Bahamas -- for the Indies, Columbus called the Native Americans "Indians." During the next 200 years, people from several European countries followed Columbus across the Atlantic Ocean to explore America and set up trading posts and colonies. Native Americans suffered greatly from the influx of Europeans. The transfer of land from Indian to European -- and later American -- hands was accomplished through treaties, wars, and

a handful of large mature companies such as Genentech, Amgen and Celgene. The fortunes of smaller companies were not quite as rosy, and the impact of the crisis fell disproportionately on the industry’s smallest firms. The aggregate market value of mid-cap biotech companies (defined as those with market valuations between US$2 billion and US$10 billion as of 1 January) fell 30% during 2008, while that of small-cap firms (those with market caps between US$200 million and US$2 billion) fell 30 In

In the rainy sections of the northeast, barley, wheat, and other cereals can be raised without irrigation. On the Atlantic coast, where there are extensive plains, olives, citrus fruits, and wine grapes are grown, largely with water supplied by artesian wells. Morocco also produces a significant amount of illicit hashish, much of which is shipped to Western Europe. Livestock

particularly outside the resource sectors. Near term, we are seeing many trading similarities with last year, but with one key difference. The recent strength in equities has, in our view, largely been the result of money flows from bond funds. Since mid November, $20 billion has been withdrawn from U.S. mutual bond funds, following two years of continuous purchases. Last year, it was money market fund redemptions that provided the market with liquidity. This trend is clearly a positive in the near

descendent of Norman or Breton pilgrims who populated the island in the 17th century. Due to its unfavourable access and rather dry climate, Saint Barth never delved in natural resources, which probably accounts for its feeble population levels until the mid-1980s. Immigration here was scarce, as the cost of living was high, as were tickets to and from the island, and the island’s social structure remained family and tradition-based. Today still, more than half of Saint Barth’s inhabitants are issued from

pushehas. The most beautiful is the Byelovezhskaya. The climate in the Belarus is moderately continental. The climate is mild and one can travel comfortably here at any time of year. The moderately continental climate of Belarus is a gift from the Atlantic ocean, and the winds that blow from the ocean make Belarus a zone of stable harvest. Today Belarusian industry produces tractors, big lorries, automatic lines, computers, television sets, bicycles, and else. Agriculture specializes in milk and meat
