The influence of suburban land use on habitat and biotic integrity of coastal Rhode Island streams.
Watershed land use in suburban areas can affect stream biota through degradation of instream habitat, water quality, and riparian vegetation. By monitoring stream biotic communities in various geographic regions, we can better understand and conserve our watershed ecosystems. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between watershed land use and the integrity of benthic inve...
متن کاملOrthobunyavirus Antibodies in Humans, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
We performed a serologic investigation to determine whether orthobunyaviruses commonly infect humans in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Orthobunyavirus-specific antibodies were detected by plaque reduction neutralization test in 146 (18%) of 823 persons tested. Further studies are needed to determine health risks for humans from this potentially deadly group of viruses.
متن کاملThe fish community as an indicator of biotic integrity of the streams in the Sinos River basin, Brazil.

Water quality is low because of domestic and industrial sewage discharges. Most of the tributaries have suffered drastic structural interventions like canalisations and the removal of riparian vegetation. The aims of this study were to: ...

متن کاملInsectivorous bat activity at cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Although insectivorous bats represent nearly 65% of the bat fauna of the Neotropics (Simmons, 2005), information on their abundance, distribution, behaviour and habitat associations is scarce in comparison to species within other ensembles. The majority of insectivorous species are difficult to capture and most free-flying bats cannot easily be identified visually when in flight (Preatoni et al...
