The River Restoration Analysis Tool (RiverRAT) d... Read More about Project risk screening matrix for stream management and restoration.

BIOFRAG - a new database for analyzing BIOdiversity responses to forest FRAGmentation (2014)
Journal Article
Pfeifer, M., Lefebvre, V., Gardner, T. A., Arroyo-Rodriguez, V., Baeten, L., Banks-Leite, C., …Ewers, R. M. (2014). BIOFRAG - a new database for analyzing BIOdiversity responses to forest FRAGmentation. Ecology and Evolution, 4(9), 1524-1537. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1036

Habitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded by a lack of...

Size and frequency of natural forest disturbances and the Amazon forest carbon balance (2014)
Journal Article
Espírito-Santo, F. D., Gloor, M., Keller, M., Malhi, Y., Saatchi, S., Nelson, B., …Phillips, O. L. (2014). Size and frequency of natural forest disturbances and the Amazon forest carbon balance. Nature Communications, 5, Article e3434. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4434

Forest inventory studies in the Amazon indicate a large terrestrial carbon sink. However, field plots may fail to represent forest mortality processes at landscape-scales of tropical forests. Here we characterize the frequency distribution of disturb... Read More about Size and frequency of natural forest disturbances and the Amazon forest carbon balance.

Evolutionary stasis and lability in thermal physiology in a group of tropical lizards (2014)
Journal Article
Muñoz, M. M., Stimola, M. A., Algar, A. C., Cosover, A., Rodriguez, A. J., Landestoy, M. A., …Losos, J. B. (2014).

Understanding how quickly physiological traits evolve is a topic of great interest, particularly in the context of how organisms can adapt in response to climate warming. Adjustment to novel thermal habitats may occur either through behavioural adjus... Read More about Evolutionary stasis and lability in thermal physiology in a group of tropical lizards.

The impacts of climate change on river flood risk at the global scale (2014)
Journal Article

This paper presents an assessment of the implications of climate change for global river flood risk. It is based on the estimation of flood frequency relationships at a grid resolution of 0.5×0.5°, using a global hydrological model with climate scena...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3262-3267. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1222473110

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are expected to modify the global water cycle with significant consequences for terrestrial hydrology. We assess the impact of climate change on hydrological droughts in a multimodel exp...

First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble (2014)
Journal Article
Dankers, R., Arnell, N. W., Clark, D. B., Falloon, P. D., Fekete, B. M., Gosling, S. N., …Wisser, D. (2014). First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3257-3261. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1302078110

Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation events, which is likely to affect the probability of flooding into the future. In this paper we use river flow simulatio... Read More about First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble.

Animal perception in gravel-bed rivers: scales of sensing and environmental controls on sensory information (2014)
Journal Article
Johnson, M. F., & Rice, S. P. (2014). Animal perception in gravel-bed rivers: scales of sensing and environmental controls on sensory information. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 71(6), 945-957. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2013-0474

Animals make decisions based on the sensory information that they obtain from the environment and other organisms within that environment. In a river, this information is transported, transmitted, masked, and filtered by fluvial factors and processes...

Including spatial distribution in a data-driven rainfall-runoff model to improve reservoir inflow forecasting in Taiwan (2014)
Journal Article
