Hydroclimatology of the Upper Madeira River basin: spatio-temporal variability and trends
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01-17)
Rising in the Andes, the Madeira River drains the southwestern part of the Amazon basin, which is characterized by high geographical, biological and climatic diversity. This study uses daily records to assess the spatio-temporal ...
Use of native macrophytes for recovery of the habitat structure and complexity of a lowland stream affected by river engineering works: Implications for management
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-07)
Macrophytes were transplanted into a lowland stream affected by river engineering works. The aim was to analyse the feasibility of their reintroduction and potential to be used for the recovery of the structure and complexity ...
The stands of Copernicia tectorum (Arecaceae) in the Caribbean lowlands of Colombia: a managed pioneer palm facing river dynamics
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2015)
A new species of Tetragonopterus (Characiformes: Characidae) from central Amazon Lowlands, Brazil
(2018-01-01)
A new species of Tetragonopterus is described from lowland rivers of Central Amazon. It differs from congeners by having a vertically-oriented patch of dark pigmentation limited to posterior portion of the caudal peduncle ...
A study of flow dynamics and implications for benthic fauna in a meander bend of a lowland river
(Int Assoc Hydraulic Research, 2015-07)
Channel curvature and riffle-pool bathymetry in meandering streams control complex hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. This study investigates how spatial and temporal heterogeneities in flow hydraulics influence ...
Ichthyoarcheological investigation at Los Bananos site, alluvial plain of Middle Paraná River (Goya, Corrientes, Argentina)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-01)
This paper presents the analysis of the ichtyoarchaeological record from Los Bananos site (Goya, Corrientes, Argentine). The aim of this study is to render a first evaluation to the role played by fish in subsistence during ...
Phytoplankton of the middle and lower stretches of the Uruguay River
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2014-07)
The Uruguay River is one of the largest lowland rivers of South America. At its middle section, its course is altered by the Salto Grande Reservoir, which constitutes a discontinuity factor affecting the main limnological ...
Addressing bioassessment of tropical rivers using macrophytes: The case of Itanhaem Basin, Sao Paulo, Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-11-01)
We developed a pilot study on the potential of aquatic plants as indicators of ecological quality in tropical rivers to provide an index of biotic integrity for monitoring, conservation, and restoration purposes. We used ...
Interactive effects of abiotic, hydrological and anthropogenic factors on fish abundance and distribution in natural run-of-the-river shallow lakes
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2009-07)
Ecological processes in lowland rivers are mostly dominated by hydrology and its interactions with other environmental factors. Fish–habitat relationships in rivers are also influenced by human impacts. In this study, we ...
