Context matters: An insider’s view on freshwater ecosystem research in Latin America
Freshwater science has grown and evolved extensively since its inception in the late 1800s. Many of the models and conceptual frameworks developed for and used in freshwater research were originally proposed by researchers in the Global North to explain patterns and processes in temperate streams. This view of freshwater ecosystems has extended to research in Latin America, potentially limiting our ability to understand unique ecological and socioeconomic attributes of the watersheds found in our region. Recently, there has been an increase in freshwater research being conducted by Latin American scientists, who may be able to apply and validate more suitable models and conceptual frameworks given their personal experiences and insights about local realities. In this BRIDGES cluster, we feature the work of early career Latin American researchers who are addressing environmental concerns pertinent to the region through research that challenges some of the ideas developed for river networks in the Global North.
期刊介绍:
Freshwater Science (FWS) publishes articles that advance understanding and environmental stewardship of all types of inland aquatic ecosystems (lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, subterranean, and estuaries) and ecosystems at the interface between aquatic and terrestrial habitats (wetlands, riparian areas, and floodplains). The journal regularly features papers on a wide range of topics, including physical, chemical, and biological properties of lentic and lotic habitats; ecosystem processes; structure and dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems; ecology, systematics, and genetics of freshwater organisms, from bacteria to vertebrates; linkages between freshwater and other ecosystems and between freshwater ecology and other aquatic sciences; bioassessment, conservation, and restoration; environmental management; and new or novel methods for basic or applied research.
