PERSISTENCE OF AQUATIC INSECTS ACROSS MANAGED LANDSCAPES: EFFECTS OF LANDSCAPE PERMEABILITY ON RE-COLONIZATION AND POPULATION RECOVERY.

Persistence of aquatic insects across managed landscapes: effects of landscape permeability on re-colonization and population recovery.

Human practices in managed landscapes may often adversely affect aquatic biota, such as aquatic insects.Dispersal is often the limiting factor for successful re-colonization and recovery of stressed habitats.Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of landscape permeability, assuming a combination of riparian vegetation (edge permeability

First evidence of intraclonal genetic exchange in trypanosomatids using two Leishmania infantum fluorescent transgenic clones.

The Yoga Leggings - AOP mode of reproduction in Leishmania spp has been argued to be essentially clonal.However, recent data (genetic analysis of populations and co-infections in sand flies) have proposed the existence of a non-obligate sexual cycle in the extracellular stage of the parasite within the sand fly vector.In this article we propose the

SAT-Hadoop-Processor: A Distributed Remote Sensing Big Data Processing Software for Earth Observation Applications

Nowadays, several environmental applications take advantage of remote sensing techniques.A considerable volume of this remote sensing data occurs in near real-time.Such data are diverse and are provided with high velocity and variety, their pre-processing requires large computing capacities, and a fast execution time is critical.This paper proposes
