Ecological and toxicological responses in a multistressor scenario: are monitoring programs showing the stressors or just showing stress? A case study in Brazil
(Elsevier B. V., 2015)
The Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP) is located in the Brazilian State of São Paulo and reservoirs in this region are vital for water supply and energy production. Changes in economic, social, and demographic trends ...
Freshwater plastic pollution: Recognizing research biases and identifying knowledge gaps
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-10)
The overwhelming majority of research conducted to date on plastic pollution (all size fractions) has focused on marine ecosystems. In comparison, only a few studies provide evidence for the presence of plastic debris in ...
Native crustacean species as a bioindicator of freshwater ecosystem pollution: A multivariate and integrative study of multi-biomarker response in active river monitoring
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-09)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of Palaemonetes argentinus to evidence the environmental degradation due to pollutants mixture in a freshwater aquatic ecosystem. For this purpose, an active monitoring (96 ...
Sub-Antarctic freshwater invertebrate thermal tolerances: an assessment of critical thermal limits and behavioral responses
(MDPI, 2020)
Physiological thermal limits of organisms are linked to their geographic distribution. The assessment of such limits can provide valuable insights when monitoring for environmental thermal alterations. Using the dynamic ...
Multisource data for seasonal variability analysis of cyanobacteria in a tropical inland aquatic environment
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-01-01)
Cyanobacterial blooms are related to eutrophic conditions that compromise the many uses of reservoirs. Thus, quick and effective methods for detecting the abundance of cyanobacteria in waterbodies are needed to complement ...
