Systematic revision of the South American armored catfish genus Loricaria (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)
… cis-Andean South America, including the Amazon, Orinoco, Paraguay, Paraná, and smaller coastal rivers draining the Guyana and Brazilian Shields. Based on multivariate analyses of morphometric and meristic data in combination with qualitative assessment of external morphological characters, 15 …

Mediating regional development : how metalworking firms forged lasting linkages with steel in Ciudad, Guayana, Venezuela
… to supply the large steel firm Siderirgica del Orinoco (SIDOR) with maintenance, parts and equipment. Research of other steel-centered cases in lagging regions reveals that this linkage effect is uncommon. When it happens, local suppliers tend to disappear following their client firm's …

Satellite indices of fluvial influence in coastal waters
… coastal waters for the Mississippi and Orinoco Rivers is documented. From this work, satellite-based indices of fluvial influence (IFI), are developed which contain information on the spatial extent of riverine constituents in coastal waters. The IFI is defined as the correlation between …

Tectonic and Climatic Controls on Continental River Systems
… river capture of the Amazon River from the Rio Orinoco. I use this case study to show that large lowland rivers with slope asymmetry across drainage divides reorganize their planform geometry towards a more equilibrated state, and in doing so can create perennial interbasin connections for …

Dynamic river networks drive landscape change and biological evolution
… ongoing river capture occurring between the Rio Orinoco and Amazon River, two of the largest rivers in the world. However, very few river captures are observed, and are instead almost always inferred from topographic evidence, the accuracy of which is unknown. Therefore, in Chapter 2, I use …
