Ictiólogos de la Argentina: Lauce Rubén Freyre.

This series will include all those people who, by means of their contributions, great and small, played a part in the consolidation of ichthyology in Argentina. The general plan of this work consists of individual factsheets containing a list of works by each author, along with reference bibliography and, whenever possible, personal pictures and additional material. The datasheets will be published primarily in chronological order, although this is subject to change by the availability of materials for successive editions. This work represents another approach for the recovery and revalorization of those who set the foundations of Argentine ichthyology while in diverse historical circumstances. I expect this to be the beginning of a major work that achieves the description of such a significant part of the history of natural sciences in Argentina.

Guía para el estudio de macroinvertebrados. II.- Introducción a la metodología de muestreo y análisis de datos.

Sobre la base de los objetivos propuestos, el muestreo tiene que estar cuidadosamente planeado (diseño de protocolo de muestreo) para que se pueda realizar una comprobación estadística de los resultados. Las herramientas de análisis como son los cálculos numéricos y los análisis estadísticos están ligados al estudio en sí, ya que son los que nos permiten demostrar que los resultados de una investigación son el producto de procesos ecológicos y no del azar.

Disturbance climate in the Columbia River Basin [abstract]

EXTRACT (SEE PDF FOR FULL ABSTRACT): Climatological events that disturb a landscape are important components in ecosystem processes. Modern ecosystem management plans now hope to incorporate knowledge of the spatial distribution and frequency of disturbance climate. The following describes a few analytic tools developed to help managers include disturbance climate in an ecosystem management plan for areas in the Columbia River Basin of the northwestern United States.
