RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MORPHOLOGY, DIET AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION: TESTING THE EFFECTS OF INTRA AND INTERSPECIFIC MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATIONS ON THE PATTERNS OF RESOURCE USE IN TWO NEOTROPICAL CICHLIDS

Relationships between morphology, diet and spatial distribution: testing the effects of intra and interspecific morphological variations on the patterns of resource use in two Neotropical Cichlids

Considering th e morphology, diet and spatial distribution of Satanoperca pappaterra and Crenicichla britskii (Perciformes: Cichlidae) in the Upper Paraná River floodplain (Brazil), the following questions were investigated: (1) Could the body shape predict the use of WORMWOOD trophic resources and habitat by C.britskii and S.pappaterra? (2) C

Credit Risk Migration and Economic Cycles

The misestimation of rating transition probabilities may lead banks to lend money incoherently with borrowers’ default trajectory, causing both a deterioration in asset quality and higher system distress.Applying a Mover-Stayer model to determine the migration risk of small and medium enterprises, we find that banks WORMWOOD are over-estimati
