Optimizing Total Suspended Solids Mitigation in a Data‐Limited Watershed: A Network‐Based Advection–Reaction Model Applied to the Canal del Dique, Colombia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...

Factors influencing survival of rescued Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) during clinical rehabilitation in Peru

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) faces threats like habitat loss, illegal hunting, and pollution. Our analysis of 54 rescued manatees in a Peruvian Amazon rehabilitation center revealed that initial weight and rate of weight gain significantly influenced survival during rehabilitation, while intestinal obstruction, often from prior ...
