DISTRIBUTION OF AQUATIC MACROINVERTEBRATES AND SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN PEDRA BRANCA STATE PARK

Interfaces Científicas - Saúde e Ambiente
A presença de organismos bioindicadores está diretamente associada à preservação dos ambientes aquáticos, pois podem ser sensíveis a poluentes orgânicos e inorgânicos e as alterações nas características limnológicas da água. Para realizar este trabalho, parâmetros de campo de dois rios do Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca, no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil ...

Extinction Risks of Tasmania's Avifauna

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, island biotas are continuing to experience catastrophic losses leading to species extinctions. In Australia, 31 bird taxa have become extinct since European colonisation, including four from Tasmania including Macquarie Island. In 2024, the Tasmanian Government's State of the Environment Report provided compelling evidence on the ...

Growing Chlorella vulgaris in Photobioreactor by Continuous Process Using Concentrated Desalination: Effect of Dilution Rate on Biochemical Composition

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Desalination wastewater, which contains large amount of salt waste, might lead to severely environmental pollution. This study evaluated the effect of dilution rate (0.1 ≤ D ≤ 0.3 day−1) on microalgal biomass productivity, lipid content, and fatty acid profile under steady‐state condition of Chlorella vulgaris supplemented with concentrated ...

Facies Characterization and Volcanic Source Assignment of Marine Tephra Deposits Around São Miguel Island, Azores Archipelago

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Long‐term tephrostratigraphies of volcanic islands such as the Azores are often limited to young and incomplete subaerial records. Here, we present a Pleistocene‐Holocene marine tephra archive around the eastern islands of the Azores based on 22 marine gravity cores.

Traversing the land‐sea interface: A climate change risk assessment of terrestrially breeding marine predators

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
We developed a framework to assess climate change risk for 56 seabird and seal species breeding in Australian territories and Antarctica. Extreme weather, changes in habitat suitability, and prey availability were key climate hazards, with species such as shy albatross, Australian fur seals, southern rockhopper penguins, and Australian sea lions facing
