During low water levels, habitats in river-floodplain systems are isolated from each other and
from the main river. Oppositely, floods tend to connect water bodies with distinct hydrological …

In terms of biodiversity, Brazilian inland waters are of enormous global significance for Algae
(25% of the world's species), Porifera (Demospongiae, 33%), Rotifera (25%), Cladocera …

We investigated the effect of interannual variation of hydrosedimentological regime and
connectivity on the zooplankton biodiversity in the Upper Paraná River floodplain …

Em termos de biodiversidade, as águas continentais brasileiras apresentam enorme
significado global para Algae (25% das espécies do mundo), Porifera (Demospongiae …

The hydrological regime is the main force driving processes in river-floodplain systems. The
flood pulse concept serves as a base from which to study the processes acting in such a …

It is widely acknowledged that sudden, large‐scale flood pulses are drivers of benthic and
planktonic biodiversity change in floodplains. The impact of such pulses on pleuston (biotic …

An identification guide is presented for species of calanoid copepod family Diaptomidae
from “de la Plata” River Basin (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay). It was …

This study evaluated the differences in composition, abundance and morphology of testate
amoebae among different habitats of the same aquatic environment (plankton, aquatic …

Hydrological pulses are the main factor regulating the structure of biological communities in
floodplains. Reservoirs above this ecosystem change the environment's dynamics and the …

Large river floodplains are convenient model systems to test for variation in animal and plant
community structure, as they have a variety of habitats and substrates and are generally …
