    Description: The environmental variables are important in the functioning and dynamics of freshwater ecosystems, since changes in physical and chemical conditions of these environments contribute to alterations in the ecological functioning. This research was conducted in four neotropical flood plains: Amazônica, Araguaia, Pantanal e Paraná. The samples of zooplankton were performed in the subsurface region of limnetic lakes each floodplain, in the years 2011 and 2012 (dry and wet). At the same time the environmental variables were measured and obtained water samples for later laboratory analysis. Our goal was to investigate the effect of environmental variables in the abundance of copepods, and the following hypothesis was tested: HI) the abundance of copepods has a great set with environmental variables, and extremes range of environmental variation, the lower the abundance of these organisms, unimodal effect. Local factors (physical and chemical environmental conditions) determined the abundance of copepods, as well as the environmental gradient showed a close relationship in the spatial and temporal distribution of the species, being possible to observe higher abundance at specific levels of environmental variables (toward the great). Studies that focus on tolerance limits of the species and their relationships with environmental conditions has risen in recent years, as the anthropogenic changes in climate and natural environments has caused significant changes in community structure, facilitating the invasion by non-native species and loss species diversity and the consequent change in ecosystem functioning. However, the hypothesis (HI) was partially supported, as the abundance follows a pattern of rise towards the great, but it was not possible to clearly unimodal effect on abundance for many species.
    Description: As variáveis ambientais têm papel relevante no funcionamento e dinâmica de ambientes aquáticos continentais, uma vez que, mudanças nas condições físicas e químicas desses ambientes contribuem para alterações no padrão de funcionamento ecológico. Esta investigação foi realizada em quatro planícies de inundação neotropicais: Amazônica, Araguaia, Pantanal e Paraná. As coletas de organismos zooplanctônicos foram realizadas na subsuperfície da região limnética das lagoas de cada planície de inundação, nos anos de 2011 e 2012 (seca e cheia). Ao mesmo tempo foram medidas as variáveis ambientais e obtidas amostras de água para posterior análise em laboratório. O nosso objetivo foi investigar o efeito das variáveis ambientais na abundância dos copépodes, e foi testada a seguinte hipótese: HI) a abundância de copépodes possui um ótimo estabelecido com as variáveis ambientais, e em extremos de amplitude de variação ambiental, menor será a abundância desses organismos, efeito uninodal. Os fatores locais (condições físicas e químicas do ambiente) determinaram a abundância de copépodes, bem como a variação ambiental apresentou uma estreita relação na distribuição espacial e temporal das espécies, sendo possível observar maiores valores de abundância em níveis específicos das variáveis ambientais (direção ao ótimo). Estudos que focam nos limites de tolerância das espécies e suas relações com as condições ambientais tem ressurgido nos últimos anos, pois as alterações antropogênicas no clima e nos ambientes naturais tem causado expressivas mudanças na estrutura da comunidade, facilitação à invasão por espécies não nativas e perda da diversidade de espécies e a consequente alteração no funcionamento ecossistêmico. Contudo, a hipótese (HI) foi parcialmente corroborada, pois a abundância segue um padrão de ascensão em direção ao ótimo, porém não foi possível estabelecer claramente para muitas espécies um efeito unimodal na distribuição da abundância.

    Description: Global lake volume estimates are scarce, highly variable, and poorly documented. We developed a rigorous method for estimating global lake depth and volume based on the Hurst coefficient of Earth's surface, which provides a mechanistic connection between lake area and volume. Volume-area scaling based on the Hurst coefficient is accurate and consistent when applied to lake data sets spanning diverse regions. We applied these relationships to a global lake area census to estimate global lake volume and depth. The volume of Earth's lakes is 199,000 km3 (95% confidence interval 196,000–202,000 km3). This volume is in the range of historical estimates (166,000–280,000 km3), but the overall mean depth of 41.8 m (95% CI 41.2–42.4 m) is significantly lower than previous estimates (62–151 m). These results highlight and constrain the relative scarcity of lake waters in the hydrosphere and have implications for the role of lakes in global biogeochemical cycles.

    Description: Polynitrogens have the potential for ultrahigh-performing explosives or propellants because singly or doubly bonded polynitrogens can decompose to triply bonded dinitrogen (N2) with an extraordinarily large energy release. The large energy content and relatively low activation energy toward decomposition makes the synthesis of a stable polynitrogen allotrope an extraordinary challenge. Many elements exist in different forms (allotropes)—for example, carbon can exist as graphite, diamond, buckyballs, or graphene. However, no stable neutral allotropes are known for nitrogen, and only two stable homonuclear polynitrogen ions had been isolated until now—namely, the N3− anion (1) and the N5+ cation (2). On page 374 of this issue, Zhang et al. (3) report the synthesis and characterization of the first stable salt of the cyclo-N5− anion, only the third stable homonuclear polynitrogen ion ever isolated. Author: Karl O. Christe
