Detecting droughts as early as possible is important in avoiding negative impacts on economy, society, and environment. To improve drought monitoring, we studied drought propagation (i.e., the temporal manifestation of a...

There is considerable confusion in the literature regarding the systematic position and distribution of two pseudothelphusid crabs originally described as Potamocarcinus reflexifrons Ortmann, 1897 and Potamocarcinus refl...

The EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aims to incorporate environmental risk of combined exposure, stemming from unintentional chemical mixtures in the environment, into regulatory risk assessments. Within the E...

The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is an herbivorous rodent widely distributed throughout most of South American wetlands that lives closely associated with aquatic environments. In this work, we studied the geneti...

A construção de um Programa de Revitalização da bacia do Rio São Francisco está em curso. Um decreto presidencial de 2001 e os Planos de Recursos Hídricos das bacias dos rios São Francisco e Velhas introduziram c...

The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) is a promising flood-modelling tool available for most river basins worldwide. However, it contains inherent biases, notably linked to its spatial resolution. This study propose...

Macrobrachium surinamicum is an indigenous prawn distributed from the lower Amazon and Tocantins river basins to Venezuela in the Orinoco Delta region. It is common bycatch fauna of Macrobrachium amazonicum artisan fishi...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Downscaling is a critical step to bridge the gap between large-scale climate information and local-scale impact assessments. However, steep and complex mountainous terrain induces highly heterogeneous local-scale meteoro...

In recent years, the evolutionary history of the catfish genus Hypostomus has attracted much interest. However, the identification of species of this genus is challenging, given the complex taxonomy of the group and the ...

ABSTRACT Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia is the only turtle of the family Geoemydidae with part of its range in Brazil. The species is semi-aquatic and widely distributed across the Amazon basin but is still poorly ...

This paper attempts to design statistical models to forecast annual precipitation in the Neuquen and Limay river basins in the Comahue region of Argentina. These forecasts are especially useful as they are used to better...

Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) have been used in Argentina since pre-Columbian times as a source of hide, meat, and fat. Hide is the most valuable capybara by-product and, at present, represents the major hunting ...

O presente estudo tem por objetivo traçar um panorama das políticas públicas no Brasil frente aos desafios envolvendo a problemática dos desastres ambientais. Sob o prisma político e sociológico, e através do leva...

ABSTRACT: A conceptual, continuous time model called SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) was developed to assist water resource managers in assessing the impact of management on water supplies and nonpoint source pollu...

Droughts negatively affect basins by reducing the river streamflow and increasing ion concentrations due to lower dilution. This study examines the impact of droughts in the Colorado River basin in Argentina. For this pu...

The size, shape, and organization of depositional systems in endorheic basins are controlled by the tectonic and climatic history of the sedimentary basin and its boundaries. We evaluate the changes in the alluvial archi...

Abstract River water quality forecasting on directed river networks requires jointly modeling temporal dynamics and directional spatial dependencies among monitoring sites. Existing spatio-temporal models often emphasize...

Many developing countries have experienced rapid industrial and urban expansion over the last two decades, raising concerns about ecological degradation. However, quantitative assessments linking urbanization and ecologi...

Typical rivers of large continental masses flow into the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Colombia, and in turn, small streams of coastal mountains. In large rivers the diversity of species is high compared to coastal str...
