Impacts of dams on freshwater turtles: a global review to identify conservation solutions

This paper reviews global studies on dam impacts on freshwater turtles and finds limited evidence on effective mitigation strategies, emphasizing the need for more research, especially in tropical regions.

Amazonian run-of-river dam reservoir impacts underestimated: Evidence from a Before-After Control-Impact study of freshwater turtle nesting areas

This study uses a Before-After-Control-Impact design to show that run-of-river dam construction caused a 69% decline in freshwater turtle nesting areas due to permanent dry season river level rise.

Understanding hydropower impacts on Amazonian wildlife is limited by a lack of robust evidence: results from a systematic review

This paper reviews hydropower impact studies on Amazonian vertebrates, finding most lack robust evidence due to poor study designs and controls.

Big trees drive forest structure patterns across a lowland Amazon regrowth gradient

The paper examines forest structure and mammal diversity in regrowing Amazonian forests, finding that large trees decline in late-regrowth plots, suggesting the need for conservation efforts.

Population Dynamics and Biological Feasibility of Sustainable Harvesting as a Conservation Strategy for Tropical and Temperate Freshwater Turtles

This study evaluates the biological feasibility of sustainable harvesting for freshwater turtles in temperate and tropical regions by analyzing life history traits and climate influences.

Visual recency bias is explained by a mixture model of internal representations

The paper explains visual recency bias using a mixture model of internal representations in a Bayesian framework.
