The epilithic sessile fauna of coastal islands off Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, was analyzed along two 30 m long sublitoral transects. A total of 111 taxa were identified of which 55 are new records for the South ...

High temperatures are typically recorded in tropical continental climate regions, with heat intensified by urban heat islands. This research attempts to investigate the intensity and maintenance of heat islands in the lower ...

Tropical cities located in inland Brazil typically have high temperatures that are extremely uncomfortable and detrimental to their population's health. This article analyzes the spatial variability of target temperatures, ...

This study aimed to investigate the biodiversity of caridean shrimps inhabiting the consolidated sublittoral of two Brazilian biodiversity locals Laje de Santos and Vitória Island. We provide data about species composition, ...

In this paper, a new algebraic-graph method for identification of islanding in power system grids is proposed. The proposed method identifies all the possible cases of islanding, due to the loss of a equipment, by means ...

Because climate aspects should be an important consideration when structuring urban spaces, this paper reports the results of combined field measurements and surface sensing data analyzed using statistical calculations. ...

Faunal impoverishment and distorted species compositions are common phenomena in oceanic islands; however, many land-bridge islands are poorly inventoried, especially in the Neotropics. We sampled a small mammal community ...
