Tributaries as biodiversity preserves: An ichthyoplankton perspective from the severely impounded Upper Paraná River
(2019-02-01)
Conservation of fish assemblages in severely impounded rivers has often focused on providing longitudinal and lateral connectivity along the main stem. Less attention has been given to tributaries, some of which remain ...
Hydrological functioning of cattle ranching impoundments in the Dry Chaco rangelands of Argentina
(IWA Publishing, 2019-10)
Rainwater harvesting and associated storage is essential for cattle ranching in the drylands of Argentina and elsewhere. This is the first study to attempt to quantify the hydrological inflows and losses from rainwater ...
Temporal and spatial distribution of rotifera in a Chilean reservoir: A possible effect of impoundment hydrodynamics
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1984)
Rotifers were sampled at monthly intervals for a year at four monitoring stations in Rapel Reservoir (a hydroelectric impoundment) in Central Chile (34°02′S; 71°35′W). Fifteen species were identified, but only Keratella ...

Efeitos da implantação da usina hidrelétrica Dona Francisca (RS, Brasil) sobre estágios imaturos de Odonata (Insecta)
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBRCiências BiológicasUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biodiversidade Animal, 2009-02-26)
This study was carried out with the purpose to evaluate the short-term impact of a dam construction on the community of the immature Odonata through their analysis in lentic and lotic environments, before and after the ...
When roads cross streams: fish assemblage responses to fluvial fragmentation in lowland Amazonian streams
(Soc Brasileira Ictiologia, 2020-01-01)
Roads affect biodiversity by increasing mortality rates, habitat loss, and natural landscape fragmentation. Poorly installed culverts can impound streams, changing the environmental conditions, and affecting aquatic ...
