We report the first collection of Anopheles pictipennis from northern Chile, particularly sectors of Totoral, Perales, Puerto Viejo, and Salinas in the Atacama region. Adults were captured using human bait, while larvae and pupae were collected from various habitats including ponds, puddles left by overflowing river water, edges along river banks, wells, irrigation ditches, and permanent and se...

Riparian zones are very rich in species but subjected to strong anthropogenic changes and extremely prone to alien plant invasions, which are considered to be a serious threat to biodiversity. Our aim was to determine the spatial distribution of Chenopodium ficifolium, a species demonstrating strong confinement to large river valleys in Central Europe and an indicator of annual pioneer nitrophi...

Invasive round goby Neogobius melanostomus and bighead goby Ponticola kessleri have successfully colonized freshwater and coastal habitats worldwide. The objective was to use stable isotope analyses to study the foraging and movement of both species at small spatial scales in the Upper Danube River, considering 861 samples from two different years, seasons and sides of the river in an area wher...

Monitoring river water quality with satellite data has been limited by the lack of sensors offering high revisit frequency and suitable spatial and radiometric resolutions. In this communcation, it is shown that the last generation of moderate resolution sensors makes possible to monitor efficiently large tropical basins characterized by reduced field monitoring and strong cloud coverage. Empha...

Removal of nonnative riparian trees is accelerating to conserve water and improve habitat for native species. Widespread control of dominant species, however, can lead to unintended erosion. Helicopter herbicide application in 2003 along a 12-km reach of the Rio Puerco, New Mexico, eliminated the target invasive species saltcedar (Tamarix spp.), which dominated the floodplain, as well as the na...

BACKGROUND The Central Amazonian floodplain forests are subjected to extended periods of flooding and to flooding amplitudes of 10 m or more. The predictability, the length of the flood pulse, the abrupt transition in the environmental conditions along topographic gradients on the banks of major rivers in Central Amazonia, and the powerful water and sediment dynamics impose a strong selective p...

The Kaliyasa River is a vital means for fishermen, especially traditional fishermen who live around the river. Since construction of Cilacap Fishing Port, many migrants started to settle and overtime population crowded area uncontrollably marginalized. This study focused on strategy reorganizing fishermen’s settlements with sustainable development waterfront approach as well regulation PERMEN n...

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) are important industrial chemicals that have been widely employed for fire retardation purposes in different applications. HBCDD, for instance, consists of three major diastereoisomers, namely: α, β and γ, and it is primarily used as additive flame ...
