Molecular microbial ecology studies have revealed remarkable prokaryotic diversity in extreme hydrothermal marine environments. There are no comparable reports of culture-independent surveys of eukaryotic life in warm, anoxic marine sediments. By using sequence comparisons of PCR-amplified small subunit ribosomal RNAs, we characterized eukaryotic diversity in hydrothermal vent environments of G...

In this study, we estimate life history parameters and abundance for a protected jaguar population using camera-trap data from a 14-year monitoring program (2002-2015) in Belize, Central America. We investigated the dynamics of this jaguar population using 3,075 detection events of 105 individual adult jaguars. Using robust design open population models, we estimated apparent survival and tempo...

There are 22 species of Hamacantha registered from all over the world, and frequently from deep-waters, only two of which had previously been reported from the SW Atlantic. Here we describe a third species for this area, Hamacantha (H.) boomerang sp. nov., collected from deep-sea coral mounds at Campos Basin (off Rio de Janeiro state). We found oxeas 271-630 µm long, diancistras in three size c...

This study analyses for the first time break in stilling detected by previous research around 2010, with focus Sweden using homogenized near-surface mean and gust wind speed observations 1997–2019. During recent past two decades, both magnitude frequency (exceeding 90th percentile) underwent nonlinear changes, driven dominant winter variability. In particular, consistent studies, significant (p...

Over the past decades, significant advances have been achieved in hydraulic structures for dams, namely water release such as spillway weirs, chutes, and energy dissipators. This editorial presents a brief overview of eleven papers this Special Issue, Advances Spillway Hydraulics: From Theory to Practice, frames them current research trends. Issue explores following topics: inlet structures, tr...
