Abstract The scientific question addressed in this study is how mammals the Caatinga dry forest of northeast Brazil adapt to seasonal variations, specifically regarding their activity and occupancy patterns species richness composition. To investigate, we deployed camera traps across Furna Feia National Park during both wet seasons 2018. We utilized methods such as rarefaction curves, circular statistics, models analyze data collected from 44 40 sampling points seasons, respectively....
Circadian rhythms are a mechanism by which species adapt to environmental variability and fundamental understanding behavior. However, we lack data standardized framework accurately assess compare temporal activity for during rapid ecological change. Through global network representing 38 countries, leveraged 8.9 million mammalian observations create library of 14,587 diel estimates 445 species. We found that less than half the species’ were in agreement with classifications from reference...
Silicates, nitrates, phosphates, chlorophyll a and primary productivity were monitored at low high tide between September 1985 1986, four stations in Ria Formosa, meso-tidal coastal lagoon located the south of Portugal. The water sampling situ observations done alternatively neap spring tide. While silicates exceeded values thorughout year weak seasonal trend was discerned, nitrates phosphates exhibited clear-cut variation Pronounced maxima period temperatures (early spring), 7 µM 3 indicate...
Abstract Dinophysis acuta, which is responsible for diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, reached particularly high concentrations on the north-west coast of Portugal in 2003. In Ría de Aveiro (40°41'N), species a maximum concentration 5.0 × 104 cells l−1 8 September, highest value 17-year record monitoring. The bloom followed brief period upwelling-favourable winds, at end an extremely hot summer marked by weak upwelling, thereby favouring development highly stratified conditions. mid-September,...
1 - Ria Formosa is a large (c.a. 100 km 2 ) mesotidal lagoon system included in Natural Park, with intertidal areas and several uses such as fisheries, aquaculture, tourism nature conservation. Its watersheds cover an area of approximately 864 km2, hydrographic network small and, mostly, ephemeral rivers. 2 The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT model) has been applied to the catchments order simulate water discharges Formosa, providing forcing two-dimensional vertically integrated model,...
