Analysis of the One-Horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros Unicornis) Habitat in the Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal.
… The rhinoceros prefers grassland habitat with oxbow lakes and closed canopy during the monsoon season. Nominal values of five parameters were used to create a map of habitat suitability index. The map was categorized into four habitat classes: highly unsuitable, unsuitable, moderately suitable …

The Use of Diatoms to Infer Environmental Change of the Lower White River, Southeastern Arkansas
… describes the limnology of the lower White River oxbow lakes in southeast Arkansas, inundated by the major 2008 spring flood. The flood water and sediment deposited in oxbow lakes were analyzed for water chemistry, sediment geochemistry and diatom assemblages and used as an analogue for past …

ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF TISZA RIVER MINE TAILINGS POLLUTION AND EFFECT OF CHRONIC CADMIUM EXPOSURE ON FISH PHYSIOLOGY
… fish were collected from the Tisza River as well oxbow lakes along the lower basin. Samples were screened for metals via GF-AAS following standard methods. Additionally, we conducted interviews at each sampling location to determine fish consumption habits. Controlled laboratory exposures were …

The history of plutonium and cesium-137 contamination of the Ob River delta sediments
… to a focus on sampling in the shallow "sor" and oxbow lakes that are abundant in the flood plain of the Ob delta as sources of undisturbed sediment. To gain access to the lakes on the flood plain it was necessary to design and build a shallow draft vessel that could navigate the shallow channels …

Distribution, Age, and Growth, and Feeding Ecology of Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) In Unaltered Missouri River, South Dakota
… dead water areas adjacent to the river channel, oxbow lakes, and non-flowing tributaries. Halo-like bands in dentary bone cross sections may be produced as a result of the food habits of paddlefish. The eye to fork length was a more valid index of paddlefish growth than total length or fork …

From meander bend to oxbow lake: morphodynamics and sedimentology of chute cutoffs
… to abandonment of the bend and formation of an oxbow lake, which, together with oxbow lake sedimentation, contributes to the production of a complex, highly three-dimensional floodplain sedimentary architecture. Moreover, the oxbow lakes that result from meander cutoffs enhance habitat diversity …
