Environmental heterogeneity promotes spatial resilience of phototrophic biofilms in streambeds

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Hannes Markus Peter

The loss of environmental heterogeneity threatens biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. It is therefore important to understand the relationship between environmental heterogeneity and spatial resilience as the capacity of ecological communities embedded ...

Using SAS functions and high-resolution isotope data to unravel travel time distributions in headwater catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter, Paolo Benettin

We use high-resolution tracer data from an experimental site to test theoretical approaches that integrate catchment-scale flow and transport processes in a unified framework centered on selective age sampling by streamflow and evapotranspiration fluxes. T ...

Heterogeneity in schistosomiasis transmission dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Simple models of disease propagation often disregard the effects of transmission heterogeneity on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics associated with host-parasite interactions. However, for some diseases like schistosomiasis, a widespread parasiti ...

A generalized definition of reactivity for ecological systems and the problem of transient species dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Perturbations to an ecosystem's steady state can trigger transient responses of great ecological relevance. Asymptotic stability determines whether a generic perturbation will fade out in the long run, but falls short of characterizing the dynamics imme ...

Entropy and optimality in river deltas

Andrea Rinaldo

The form and function of river deltas is intricately linked to the evolving structure of their channel networks, which controls how effectively deltas are nourished with sediments and nutrients.Understanding the coevolution of deltaic channels and their fl ...

Demographic stochasticity and resource autocorrelation control biological invasions in heterogeneous landscapes

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt

Mounting theoretical evidence suggests that demographic stochasticity, environmental heterogeneity and biased movement of organisms individually affect the dynamics of biological invasions and range expansions. Studies of species spread in heterogeneous la ...

The scaling structure of the global road network

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Emanuele Strano, Andrea Giometto

Because of increasing global urbanization and its immediate consequences, including changes in patterns of food demand, circulation and land use, the next century will witness a major increase in the extent of paved roads built worldwide. To model the effe ...

Integrated field, laboratory, and theoretical study of PKD spread in a Swiss prealpine river

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto, Luca Carraro

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a major threat to wild and farmed salmonid populations because of its lethal effect at high water temperatures. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex lifecycle exploiting freshw ...

Modeling Key Drivers of Cholera Transmission Dynamics Provides New Perspectives for Parasitology

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Melanie Blokesch, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Hydroclimatological and anthropogenic factors are key drivers of waterborne disease transmission. Information on human settlements and host mobility on waterways along which pathogens and hosts disperse, and relevant hydroclimatological processes, can be a ...

Classification and prediction of river network ephemerality and its relevance for waterborne disease epidemiology

Andrea Rinaldo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Theophile Mande

The transmission of waterborne diseases hinges on the interactions between hydrology and ecology of hosts, vectors and parasites, with the long-term absence of water constituting a strict lower bound. However, the link between spatio-temporal patterns of h ...

Covariations in ecological scaling laws fostered by community dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan, Andrea Giometto, Silvia Zaoli

Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have long attracted the interest of empiricists and theoreticians. Empirical evi ...

Young runoff fractions control streamwater age and solute concentration dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter, Paolo Benettin

We introduce a new representation of coupled solute and water age dynamics at the catchment scale, which shows how the contributions of young runoff waters can be directly referenced to observed water quality patterns. The methodology stems from recent tre ...

Real-time projections of cholera outbreaks through data assimilation and rainfall forecasting

Flavio Finger, Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Damiano Pasetto

Although treatment for cholera is well-known and cheap, outbreaks in epidemic regions still exact high death tolls mostly due to the unpreparedness of health care infrastructures to face unforeseen emergencies. In this context, mathematical models for the ...

Hydrology and density feedbacks control the ecology of intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis across habitats in seasonal climates

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Theophile Mande, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

We report about field and theoretical studies on the ecology of the aquatic snails (Bulinus spp. and Biomphalaria pfeifferi) that serve as obligate intermediate hosts in the complex life cycle of the parasites causing human schistosomiasis. Snail abundance ...
