The Pearl River, with an annual mean discharge rate of ~ 10,000 ms, has profound dynamic and ecological influences on the northern shelf of the South China Sea. A coastal ocean model is set up to simulate the circulation in the Pearl River Estuary and the neighboring coastal regions. In winter the Guangdong Coastal Current, which flows southwestward and passes the mouth of the estuary, forces t...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic-driven forecasting agent along with a telemetric service for the Daguitan River, the main natural drainage of the Daguitan Watershed, situated in the central eastern part of the Philippines. Its sensing nodes are custom-tailored to continuously measure water level, average rate of river water level rise/fall over time, ambient temperature and relative humidity ...

Climate change (CC) and land use (LUC) have been determined as two major environmental variables that broadly affect hydrological ecosystem services (HESs). However, the relative cumulative effects of CC LUC on HES at large spatial scales where there is great heterogeneity still unclear enough to support formulation update decision-making ecological management policies. This study has quantifie...

To investigate diversity of mitochondrial gene pool of Tatars inhabiting the territory of the middle Volga River basin, 197 individuals from two populations representing Kazan Tatars and Mishars were subjected for analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region variation. In addition, 73 mitochondrial genomes of individuals from Mishar population were sequenced completely. It was found tha...

Fish assemblage was investigated during the study of longitudinal profile of the Ehania River Basin in south-eastern Côte d’Ivoire. This area is subjected to intense human activities with many plantations (palm tree, banana, pineapple, coffee, rubber and cocoa). Samples were collected, with gillnets of different mesh sizes, through 6 sampling surveys during dry and rainy seasons from February 2...

The invertebrates are one of the most important terrestrial fauna and freshwater taxa.Benthic macroinvertebrates include aquatic insects and spiders, mites, crustaceans, andspecies of mollusks and worms that are aquatic in their immature stages and terrestrial intheir adult stage. Jajrud River originates from the Alborz Mountains and is a source of<br ...
