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 ...

Evaluating nitrate removal and travel times in a bare deciduous forest soil through a column tracer experiment

Andrea Rinaldo, Manon Frutschi, Simiao Wang, Filippo Miele

In response to increased atmospheric nitrogen deposition, understanding the fate of nitrate within forest soils is crucial for predicting the ecological trajectories of soil microbial communities. This study leverages a controlled soil column experiment to ...

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 ...

Young runoff fractions control streamwater age and solute concentration dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, 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 ...

Dendritic connectivity controls biodiversity patterns in experimental metacommunities

Andrea Rinaldo, Florian Altermatt, Francesco Carrara

Biological communities often occur in spatially structured habitats where connectivity directly affects dispersal and metacommunity processes. Recent theoretical work suggests that dispersal constrained by the connectivity of specific habitat structures, s ...

Sufficient reproduction numbers to prevent recurrent epidemics

Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin

Current practice in the design and evaluation of control measures in disease ecology and epidemiology, including vaccination, is largely based on reproduction numbers (RNs), which represent prognostic indices of long‐term disease transmission, both in naïv ...

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 ...

Comparative analysis of time-based and quadrat sampling in seasonal population dynamics of intermediate hosts of human schistosomes

Andrea Rinaldo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Theophile Mande

Background Despite their importance for designing and evaluating schistosomiasis control trials, little attention in the literature has been dedicated to sampling protocols for the parasite's snail intermediate hosts since their first development. We propo ...

Dynamic spatio-temporal patterns of metapopulation occupancy in patchy habitats

Andrea Rinaldo

Spatio-temporal dynamics in habitat suitability and connectivity among mosaics of heterogeneous wetlands are critical for biological diversity and species persistence in aquatic patchy landscapes. Despite the recognized importance of stochastic hydroclimat ...

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

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

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 ...

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 ...

Experimental evidence for strong stabilizing forces at high functional diversity of aquatic microbial communities

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt, Francesco Carrara

Unveiling the mechanisms that promote coexistence in biological communities is a fundamental problem in ecology. Stable coexistence of many species is commonly observed in natural communities. Most of these natural communities, however, are composed of spe ...

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 ...

Hydrologic controls on equilibrium soil depths

Andrea Rinaldo, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper deals with modelling the mutual feedbacks between runoff production and geomorphological processes and attributes that lead to patterns of equilibrium soil depth. Our primary goal is an attempt to describe spatial patterns of soil depth resultin ...

Space and time predictions of schistosomiasis snail host population dynamics across hydrologic regimes in Burkina Faso

Andrea Rinaldo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Theophile Mande

The ecology of the aquatic snails that serve as obligatory intermediate hosts of human schistosomiasis is driven by climatic and hydrological factors which result in specific spatial patterns of occurrence and abundance. These patterns in turn affect, join ...

Generalized reproduction numbers and the prediction of patterns in waterborne disease

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Understanding, predicting, and controlling outbreaks of waterborne diseases are crucial goals of public health policies, but pose challenging problems because infection patterns are influenced by spatial structure and temporal asynchrony. Although explicit ...

Short-term dynamics of drainage density based on a combination of channel flow state surveys and water level measurements

Andrea Rinaldo, Jana Freiin von Freyberg, Izabela Bujak-Ozga

Headwater streams often experience intermittent flow. Consequently, the flowing drainage network expands and contracts and the flowing drainage density (DD) varies over time. Monitoring the DD dynamics is essential to understand the processes controlling i ...

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 ...
