Blind channel (BC) is a fluvial feature formed by attachment of a lateral sand bar to an island or riverbank. It consists of a 10- to 20-m wide and hundreds to thousands meters long channel, parallel to the island or bank, ...

Anabranching patterns are characteristic of the largest rivers in the world. We have chosen to study the Paraná River because of its worldwide importance among the great rivers and the large database available from over ...

Island biogeography has greatly contributed to our understanding of the processes determining species' distributions. Previous research has focused on the effects of island geography (i.e., island area, elevation, and ...

This paper presents a parallel distributed model for the Differential Evolution algorithm. The proposed model, Hierarchical Island-Based Model for Differential Evolution, follows a double-hierarchy master-worker scheme and ...

Composite islands that originate from central bars are one of the most frequent types of islands in the Paraná River and in many large rivers in the world. The aim of this study is to highlight island-forming processes and ...

Here we provide evidence that confinement in Robinson Crusoe Island (located about 660 km west of continental Chile) over evolutionary time leads to strong morphological modifications in diving beetle (Dytiscidae) larvae. ...
