Trophic state index reveals hypereutrophic nature of a subtropical urban lake

Brazilian Journal of Aquatic Science and Technology
Abstract As a consequence of the growth of large urban centers close to aquatic environments, the input of nutrients from specific or diffuse sources of contamination has significantly impacted the water quality of these water resources. One of the main impacts on these ecosystems is eutrophication, which occurs due to the excessive nutrient load ...

Neuroanatomical diversity in Teleocichla with new volumetric and histological insights into the encephalon of Teleocichla monogramma Kullander 1988

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of

WATER QUALITY AND TROPHIC STATE INDEX OF THE PEQUIA WATERSHED - MA

, 2023
Monitoring water quality becomes a useful and relevant tool for planning and taking actions that guarantee water conservation. Water quality indicators are commonly used because they are easy to interpret, supporting decision-making. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the physical-chemical and biological parameters from the Water Quality ...

A new species of Lonchidiidae (Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of Brazil (Aliança Formation, Jatobá Basin)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Beyond Kahoot! Reflections and guidelines from a serial gamifying educator on when and how to effectively use games and game elements in anatomical education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract According to Nietzsche, “In every real [adult], a child is hidden that wants to play.” In everyday life, playfulness and competition can make routine or dull tasks more engaging and can offer educators opportunities to engage a learner in a more entertaining or interactive manner.

Is the bioproduction number a good index of the trophic state in Mediterranean wetlands?

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2015
Eutrophication is one of the major problems affecting water quality of inland waters. Therefore trophic state evaluation is essential for the conservation, the management and the application of possible future restoration measures.
