Kinetic parameters were obtained after holding the samples at open-circuit potential for 20 min. The open-circuit potential of all specimens decreases with inmersion time, and a shift of stationary potential in the anodic direction was observed with the Cr addition.
At least in the temperate and polar zones, the cyclic climate changes caused a shift of biomes in a North-South direction and repeatedly produced the situation that different populations belonging to the same species were separated by geographic barriers [ 4].
