Land conversion in Amazonia and Northern South America : influences on regional hydrology and ecosystem response
… changes are significant enough to produce an ecological response. Two numerical realizations of the structure and composition of terrestrial vegetation are used as boundary conditions in a simulation of the regional land surface and atmosphere. One realization seeks to capture the present day …

Photo-identification of White-Beaked Dolphins and their relations with Atlantic Cod and sea surface temperature fluctuations in Skjálfandi Bay, Iceland
The present study explores the intricate ecological relationships between the White-Beaked Dolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris), one of its primary prey species, the Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua), and the sea surface temperature fluctuations in Skjálfandi Bay, Iceland, over a period of ten years …

Assessment Of The Macroinvertebrate Assemblages From The Mesohabitats Of A Headwater Stream-Wetland Hydrologic Restoration In Eastern Kentucky
… undergone post-restoration assessments of the ecological response in the restored streams. Slabcamp Creek, a headwater stream located in the Licking River basin in eastern Kentucky, underwent a stream-wetland hydrologic restoration in 2010 in order to improve hydrologic functioning and degraded …

Zooplankton response to Asian carp harvesting in Illinois River backwaters: a natural experiment
… impact on this river as well. The Illinois River response was assessed by comparing the densities of rotifers, nauplii, copepods, and cladocerans in ten backwaters receiving three levels of harvest in late summer of 2015. Analysis indicates that both harvest level and month affect zooplankton, but …

Pseudoproxy modelling to explore ecosystem dynamics and assess uncertainties in palaeoecology
… Virtual assessments of how uncertainty in palaeoecological data affect statistical analyses are few and do not adequately represent the underlying ecological dynamics or the multivariate data typical of proxy records. This lack of understanding of uncertainties is a key knowledge gap in the …

Linking biophysical models and life cycle assessment to evaluate environmental tradeoffs of urban water infrastructure design
… inventory, meteorology, energy generation, and ecological response are well documented, allowing us to analyze the system from a holistic perspective. The analysis of the energy-water quality tradeoff is completed by different modeling methods employed by water managers and regulators, to see if …
