We present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of caenophidian (advanced) snakes using
sequences from two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S rRNA) and one nuclear (c-mos) gene (…

We assessed the extinction risks of Malagasy amphibians by evaluating their distribution,
occurrence in protected areas, population trends, habitat quality, and prevalence in …

Value-at-risk (VaR) measures are generated using extreme value theory by modelling the
tails of the return distributions of six Asian financial markets during the recent volatile market …
