River ecosystem metabolism and carbon biogeochemistry in a changing world

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Luis Gómez Gener

River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle remains limited, which makes it difficult to predict how global change may al ...

Spatially explicit effective reproduction numbers from incidence and mobility data

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto, Damiano Pasetto, Cristiano Trevisin

Current methods for near real-time estimation of effective reproduction numbers from surveillance data overlook mobility fluxes of infectors and susceptible individuals within a spatially connected network (the metapopulation). Exchanges of infections amon ...

Optimal control of the spatial allocation of COVID-19 vaccines: Italy as a case study

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre, Marino Gatto, Damiano Pasetto, Mario Zanon

While campaigns of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 are underway across the world, communities face the challenge of a fair and effective distribution of a limited supply of doses. Current vaccine allocation strategies are based on criteria such as age or ri ...

The Metabolic Regimes at the Scale of an Entire Stream Network Unveiled Through Sensor Data and Machine Learning

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Pier Luigi Segatto

Streams and rivers form dense networks that drain the terrestrial landscape and are relevant for biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and transport and transformation of carbon. Yet, resolving in both space and time gross primary production (GPP), ...

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

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

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 ...

Spread and dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy: Effects of emergency containment measures

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

The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Italy prompted drastic measures for transmission containment. We examine the effects of these interventions, based on modeling of the unfolding epidemic. We test modeling options of the spatially explici ...

The geography of COVID-19 spread in Italy and implications for the relaxation of confinement measures

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto, Damiano Pasetto

The pressing need to restart socioeconomic activities locked-down to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Italy must be coupled with effective methodologies to selectively relax containment measures. Here we employ a spatially explicit model, properly atten ...

SESTET: A spatially explicit stream temperature model based on equilibrium temperature

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Marco Toffolon

Stream-water temperature is a key variable controlling chemical, biological, and ecological processes in freshwater environments. Most models focus on a single river cross-section; however, temperature gradients along stretches and tributaries of a river n ...

Modeling the coupled dynamics of stream metabolism and microbial biomass

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, 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, Alexia Maria Gonzalez Ferreras

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 ...

Conditions for transient epidemics of waterborne disease in spatially explicit systems

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Waterborne diseases are a diverse family of infections transmitted through ingestion of-or contact with-water infested with pathogens. Outbreaks of waterborne infections often show well-defined spatial signatures that are typically linked to local eco-epid ...

A minimalist model of extinction and range dynamics of virtual mountain species driven by warming temperatures

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Jonathan Giezendanner, Damiano Pasetto

A longstanding question in ecology concerns the prediction of the fate of mountain species under climate change, where climatic and geomorphic factors but also endogenous species characteristics are jointly expected to control species distributions. A sign ...

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 ...

Unexpected large evasion fluxes of carbon dioxide from turbulent streams draining the world’s mountains

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth, Pier Luigi Segatto, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby

Inland waters, including streams and rivers, are active components of the global carbon cycle.Despite the large areal extent of the world’s mountains, the role of mountain streams forglobal carbonfluxes remains elusive. Using recent insights from gas excha ...

Estimating species distribution and abundance in river networks using environmental DNA

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro

All organisms leave traces of DNA in their environment. This environmental DNA (eDNA) is often used to track occurrence patterns of target species. Applications are especially promising in rivers, where eDNA can integrate information about populations upst ...

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

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto, 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. ...
