ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of season and environmental disturbances on fish communities in neotropical rivers of the Sorocaba basin, a Sub‐Basin of the Paraná River in Southeast Brazil, based on sampling 1196 individuals from 49 species, including two non‐native and one threatened with extinction.

First record of Loricariichthys edentatus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in the Paraná River.
Recent expeditions to northeastern Argentina in the Paraná River revealed the presence of the armored catfish Loricariichthys edentatus Reis & Pereira 2000, which represents the first record of this species to that ...

ABSTRACT The structure of stream networks naturally fragments freshwater habitats, but this complexity is increasingly intensified by dams and reservoirs. How anthropogenic fragmentation interacts with natural isolation gradients to affect fish populations remains poorly understood.

Climate change affects the potential distribution of a Neotropical freshwater migratory fish
Climate change represents an increasing threat to freshwater ecosystems. In this scenario, this study investigated the impacts of these changes on the distribution of Megaleporinus obtusidens, a long-distance migratory species from the Paraná-Paraguay ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Abstract Rivers are central to the global hydrological cycle, supporting ecosystems and human water use. River discharge, one of the best observed hydrological variables, is expected to change under anthropogenic warming with potentially devastating consequences.

Fine‐Tuning a Weather Foundation Model With Lightweight Decoders for Unseen Physical Processes
Abstract Recent advances in AI weather forecasting have led to the emergence of so‐called “foundation models”, typically defined by expensive pretraining and minimal fine‐tuning for downstream tasks. However, in the natural sciences, a desirable foundation model should also encode meaningful statistical relationships between the underlying physical ...

Abstract An audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey was conducted within the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, southeastern Brazil, to delineate shallow occurrences of kamafugite, a rare ultrapotassic volcanic rock worldwide. A dense grid of AMT stations was deployed, allowing the construction of a high‐resolution 3D electrical resistivity model ...

Abstract The origin of the compositional dichotomy between high‐Ti and low‐Ti basalts in continental flood basalt provinces remains debated. Most existing studies attribute this dichotomy directly to variations in primitive magma composition to circumvent the complexities of significant evolutionary processes, such as multiphase fractional ...
