Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Virial theorem and gravitational equilibrium with a cosmological constant
Starting from the Newtonian limit of Einstein's equations in the presence of a positive cosmological constant, we obtain a new version of the virial theorem and a condition for gravitational equilibrium. Such a condition takes the form ρ > λρvac, where ρ

Abstract Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work.

Perturbações cosmológicas e a taxa de crescimento das flutuações da matéria
As estruturas observadas no universo (galáxias, aglomerados e superaglomerados de galáxias) são resultados da instabilidade gravitacional. Esta instabilidade amplifica perturbações, originalmente muito pequenas, até o regime não linear.

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Over the last 150 years, most large, easily accessible lakes and tarns in Aotearoa (New Zealand) have experienced trout introductions or incursions, leaving few salmonid‐free reference lakes. Using database information and field surveys, we characterized lake, pond/tarn, and wetland systems found throughout Aotearoa that support populations of kōaro ...

Tradução em ensaio (ensaio de tradução): uma hermenêutica do fazer
Se traduzir a quatro mãos pode resultar numa tarefa ao mesmo tempo apaixonante e simples, traduzir a quatro mãos por correspondência nem sempre é fácil principalmente se considerarmos que a comunicação eletrônica é bastante recente e que nas décadas de ...

Galaxias maculatus is an abundant freshwater fish species in Chilean continental waters where it plays important ecological functions, yet few parasitological records of this species exist in Chile and all of them cover a very limited geographic range ...

Galaxiids are a family of scaleless and mostly small freshwater fish which are distributed across the temperate latitudes of the southern hemisphere. The largest member of this family is the giant kōkopu (Galaxias argenteus), which has the added distinction of being the first New Zealand freshwater fish of any kind to be scientifically described.
