The role of aquatic reservoir fluctuations in long-term cholera patterns

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

We propose and analyze an important extension of standard cholera epidemiological models, explicitly accounting for fluctuations of water availability to the human community under study. The seasonality of water input in the reservoir drives the variation ...

Spread of proliferative kidney disease in fish along stream networks: A spatial metacommunity framework

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a high-mortality pathology that critically affects freshwater salmonid populations. Infection is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans as primary hosts. ...

On neutral metacommunity patterns of river basins at different scales of aggregation

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

Neutral metacommunity models for spatial biodiversity patterns are implemented on river networks acting as ecological corridors at different resolution. Coarse-graining elevation fields (under the constraint of preserving the basin mean elevation) produce ...

Reassessment of the 2010-2011 Haiti cholera outbreak and rainfall-driven multiseason projections

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Melanie Blokesch, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Mathematical models can provide key insights into the course of an ongoing epidemic, potentially aiding real-time emergency management in allocating health care resources and by anticipating the impact of alternative interventions. We study the ex post rel ...

Modeling the coupled dynamics of stream metabolism and microbial biomass

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pier Luigi Segatto

Estimating and interpreting ecosystem metabolism remains an important challenge in stream ecology. Here, we propose a novel approach to model, estimate, and predict multiseasonal patterns of stream metabolism (gross primary production [GPP] and ecosystem r ...

Effects of altered river network connectivity on the distribution of Salmo trutta: Insights from a metapopulation model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro

Network connectivity is a key feature of rivers that affects patterns and processes in lotic ecosystems. Few studies have considered how changes in river reach connectivity might affect ecosystem attributes at a whole river network scale. The use of popula ...

Impact of stochastic fluctuations in storage-discharge relations on streamflow distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Samir Suweis

In this paper we extend recent theoretical results on the structure of the probability density function of streamflows forced by stochastic rainfall sequences. Our extension is aimed at incorporating an additional, independent source of variability assumed ...

Hydroclimatology of dual-peak annual cholera incidence: Insights from a spatially explicit model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Cholera incidence in some regions of the Indian subcontinent may exhibit two annual peaks although the main environmental drivers that have been linked to the disease (e.g., sea surface temperature, zooplankton abundance, river discharge) peak once per yea ...

Prediction of the spatial evolution and effects of control measures for the unfolding Haiti cholera outbreak

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Melanie Blokesch, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Here we propose spatially explicit predictions of the residual progression of the current Haiti cholera outbreak accounting for the dynamics of susceptible and infected individuals within different local human communities, and for the redistribution among ...

A Theoretical Analysis of the Geography of Schistosomiasis in Burkina Faso Highlights the Roles of Human Mobility and Water Resources Development in Disease Transmission

Jean-Marc Fröhlich, Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Theophile Mande

We study the geography of schistosomiasis across Burkina Faso by means of a spatially explicit model of water-based disease dynamics. The model quantitatively addresses the geographic stratification of disease burden in a novel framework by explicitly acco ...

Catchment residence and travel time distributions: The master equation

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

The probability density functions (pdf's) of travel and residence times are key descriptors of the mechanisms through which catchments retain and release old and event water, transporting solutes to receiving water bodies. In this paper we analyze theoreti ...

Comparative study of ecohydrological streamflow probability distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Serena Ceola

We run a comparative study of ecohydrological models of streamflow probability distributions (pdfs), p(Q), derived by Botter et al. (2007a, 2009), against field data gathered in different hydrological contexts. Streamflows measured in several catchments ac ...

Catchment-scale herbicides transport: Theory and application

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

This paper proposes and tests a model which couples the description of hydrologic flow and transport of herbicides at catchment scales. The model accounts for streamflow components' age to characterize short and long term fluctuations of herbicide flux con ...

Biophysical controls on cluster dynamics and architectural differentiation of microbial biofilms in contrasting flow environments

Andrea Rinaldo, Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Samir Suweis

Ecology, with a traditional focus on plants and animals, seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying structure and dynamics of communities. In microbial ecology, the focus is changing from planktonic communities to attached biofilms that dominate microbi ...

Evolving biodiversity patterns in changing river networks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

Biodiversity patterns are governed by landscape structure and dispersal strategies of residing organisms. Landscape, however, changes, and dispersal strategies evolve with it. It is unclear how these biological and geomorphological changes interplay to aff ...

Hydrologic controls on basin- scale distribution of benthic invertebrates

Andrea Rinaldo, Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Serena Ceola

Streamflow variability is a major determinant of basin-scale distributions of benthic invertebrates. Here we present a novel procedure based on a probabilistic approach aiming at a spatially explicit quantitative assessment of benthic invertebrate abundanc ...

Hydrologic controls and anthropogenic drivers of the zebra mussel invasion of the Mississippi-Missouri river system

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari

We propose a novel ecohydrological model for the invasion of inland waters by the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha and test it against field data gathered within the Mississippi-Missouri river system in North America. This biological invasion poses major ...

On the geographic range of freshwater ﬁsh in river basins

We study the observed geographic distribution of freshwater fish species in the Mississippi-Missouri river system, focusing on the size and spatial distribution of geographic ranges. We use a particular metric of geographic distribution known as environmen ...

Light and hydrologic variability as drivers of stream biofilm dynamics in a flume experiment

Andrea Rinaldo, Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Serena Ceola

We run a comparative study of the results of flume experiments and several dynamic models reproducing the effects of streamflow variability on biofilm (i.e. periphyton) temporal dynamics. During the experiment, two contrasting flow regimes, characterised b ...

Generation and application of river network analogues for use in ecology and evolution

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Reinhard Furrer, Florian Altermatt

Several key processes in freshwater ecology are governed by the connectivity inherent to dendritic river networks. These have extensively been analyzed from a geomorphological and hydrological viewpoint, yet structures classically used in ecological modeli ...
