From mid-May to August 2011, extreme runoff in the Columbia River ranged from 14,000 to over 17,000 m(3)/s, more than two standard deviations above the mean for this period. The extreme runoff was the direct result of both melting of anomalously high snowpack and rainfall associated with the 2010-2011 La Niña. The effects of this increased freshwater discharge were observed off Newport, Oregon,...

Two new species of Neoeutrypanus Monné, 1977 are described: N. llanero sp. nov. from Colombia (Meta Department), and N. dentatus sp. nov. from Bolivia (La Paz Department). A key to species of Neoeutrypanus is provided and new distributional data for N. decorus (Bates, 1881) and N. mutilatus (Germar, 1824) are given.

The vertical distribution and abundance of conspicuous gastropod and bivalve species were studied at five rocky beaches in Cuastecomate Bay, Jalisco. Sampling was done from September, 1993 through March, 1994 with 0.75 m2 quadrants placed along replicate transect lines (10 m long) in the supralittoral and mesolittoral (upper, middle and lower intertidal) zones. A total of 6,643 mollusks were co...

This investigation was conducted in order to identify the heavy minerals of the beach sands of Carmel Bay, and to analyze the distribution of these minerals, Carmel Bay offers the opportunity to study heavy mineral assemblages in a small isolated bay, internally divided by a submarine canyon, containing smaller pocket beaches influenced by several geological formations and two fresh water strea...

An imminent threat to indigenous freshwater ichthyofauna is the introduction of alien fishes that can alter behavior, population dynamics and native community structure. Thus, it necessary understand their feeding behaviour avoid any unwanted incalculable loss. At sampling site, Head Baloki habits both (L. calbasu, C. catla, L. rohita mrigala) (H. nobilis, H. molitrix, carpio, idella, auratus, ...

The critically endangered fan mussel Pinna nobilis, endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, faces a drastic population decline all over Sea owing an infectious disease. Coastal lagoons represent one of this species’ last reservoirs; thus, knowledge conservation status in these ecosystems is essential. An extensive monitoring programme was conducted during 2014, 2017 and 2019 Mar Menor lagoon, highly ...

Stem photosynthesis has been suggested to play relevant roles cope with different biotic and abiotic stress factors, including drought. In the present study, we performed measurements of stem hydraulic conductance non-structural carbohydrate content in evergreen Laurus nobilis L. deciduous Populusalba L., subjected inhibition successive exposure a drought-recovery cycle order check if may be in...
