Quantitative evaluation of sea reclamation activities on tidal creek connectivity
Deltas are in a dynamic balance due to the impact of fluvial and coastal flooding, and hydrological connectivity plays an important role. In recent decades, the dynamic equilibrium has been influenced by upstream and local human activities, including sea

Avaliando a interrupção da conectividade longitudinal em assembleias de macroinvertebrados em um rio semi-árido [PDF]
Aim: Our aim in this study was evaluate the effects of flow regulation for irrigation on the macroinvertebrate assemblages in a semiarid river. Methods:We sampled two reaches in Dulce River; one placed upstream a weir that diverts flow into a network of ...

How Hydrologic Connectivity Regulates Water Quality in River Corridors
AbstractDownstream flow in rivers is repeatedly delayed by hydrologic exchange with off‐channel storage zones where biogeochemical processing occurs. We present a dimensionless metric that quantifies river connectivity as the balance between downstream flow and the exchange of water with the bed, banks, and floodplains.

A new approach for measuring surface hydrological connectivity [PDF]
AbstractThe development of surface hydrological connectivity is a key determinant of flood magnitude in drylands. Thresholds in runoff response may be reached when isolated runoff‐generating areas connect with each other to form continuous links to river channels, enabling these areas to contribute to flood hydrographs.

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

High-temporal resolution fluvial sediment source fingerprinting with uncertainty: a Bayesian approach [PDF]
This contribution addresses two developing areas of sediment fingerprinting research. Specifically, how to improve the temporal resolution of source apportionment estimates whilst minimizing analytical costs and, secondly, how to consistently quantify ...

Toward capturing hydrologically significant connectivity in spatial patterns [PDF]
Many spatial fields exhibit connectivity features that have an important influence on hydrologic behavior. Examples include high‐conductivity preferred flow paths in aquifers and saturated source areas in drainage lines. Connected features can be considered as arbitrarily shaped bands or pathways of connected pixels having similar (e.g., high) values ...

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).
