Environmental quality assessment in a marine coastal area impacted by mining tailing using a geochemical multi-index and physical approach

Cybelle Menolli Longhini et al.

Summary: The study assessed the environmental quality of a marine coastal area impacted by a mining disaster in Southeast Brazil using geochemical multi-index and physical approach. It found that the deterioration of environmental quality during dry periods was highly associated with the release of dissolved forms of metal(oids) into the water column due to low river discharge and high wave heights. Recovery of environmental quality occurred during wet periods.

An integrated study of the plankton community after four years of Fundao dam disaster

Ana Cristina Teixeira Bonecker et al.

Summary: The collapse of the Fundao dam in 2015 in Brazil led to a persistent impact on the planktonic community structure near the Doce River mouth. High metal concentrations in surface waters in January 2019 resulted in decreased abundance and diversity of phytoplankton and zooplankton. The relationship between environmental factors, metals, and plankton communities indicate a continued impact of the tailings from the dam collapse even four years after the disaster.

Temporal trends of trace elements bioaccumulation by a vulnerable cetacean (Pontoporia blainvillei) before and after one of the largest mining disasters worldwide

B. M. R. Manhaes et al.

Summary: The study found that after the collapse of the Fundao dam, there was an increasing trend in mercury and zinc concentrations in the muscle and liver of franciscana dolphins, likely due to higher concentrations and bioavailability in the water column and sediments from the Doce River. Conversely, arsenic and copper in muscle and liver, and iron in kidney showed declining trends, possibly due to lower bioavailability after the disaster. Higher concentrations of arsenic and mercury in the first period of sampling may be attributed to historical contamination from mining activities.

Coral growth bands recorded trace elements associated with the Fundao dam collapse

Gabriel O. Cardoso et al.

Summary: In November 2015, the collapse of the Fundao dam in Minas Gerais, Brazil led to significant environmental and socioeconomic impacts as over 40 million cubic meters of iron ore tailings entered the Doce river. The downstream mudslide scoured contaminants deposited in the riverbed, releasing potentially toxic elements into the estuarine conditions. Despite a turbidity plume forming off the river mouth, the dispersion of contaminants in the ocean remains poorly assessed.

Variability in nearshore fish biodiversity indicators after a mining disaster in eastern Brazil

Ciro Colodetti Vilar et al.

Summary: The rupture of the Funda similar to o mining dam in Brazil caused negative impacts on estuarine and coastal fishes. This study examined the spatial and seasonal variability in fish biodiversity indicators in the Doce river delta and found that environmental variables had a greater influence on fish species composition than seasonal and spatial predictors. The findings highlight the potential for mine tailings to disrupt local fish communities and emphasize the importance of environmental conditions in structuring fish assemblages.

Impacts of tailings of Fundao dam (Brazil) rupture on marine fish: Metals bioaccumulation and physiological responses

Lorena Ziviani Bevitorio et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impacts of the mining tailings on fish communities on the southeast coast of the Atlantic Ocean after the rupture of the Funda & SIM;o dam. The results showed that metal bioaccumulation and biomarkers of environmental contamination were higher in carnivorous fish collected during the dry season in 2018. However, in the wet season collection in 2020, there was less oxidative damage and metallothioneins induction. Metal levels in fish decreased over time, except in the mouth of the Doce River.

The Fundao dam failure: Iron ore tailing impact on marine benthic macrofauna

Rodolfo Leandro Nascimento et al.

Summary: The failure of the Fundao dam resulted in the leakage of a massive amount of tailings mud, which has had a long-lasting impact on the benthic macrofauna in the Doce River Shelf. This mud, along with organic pollutants and metal(oids), has significantly altered the composition of macrofauna in the affected areas, reducing species richness and diversity. Sediment variables, metal(oids)-IMS intersection, and mud have played important roles in structuring macrofauna composition on a broad spatial scale.

Rapid morphological change in a small mammal species after habitat fragmentation over the past half-century

Jiaqi Li et al.

Summary: The study compared the body size shifts of mainland and island populations of Chinese white-bellied rats and found that island populations had significantly larger body sizes. The absence of predators was the main factor influencing the body size changes. This rapid morphological shift in response to habitat fragmentation suggests a wave of rapid phenotypic shifts in terrestrial vertebrates is occurring in the Anthropocene.

Physiological biomarkers and fisheries management

Pablo Brosset et al.

Summary: Physiological biomarkers play an important role in fish and wildlife management, but their application in marine fish stock management and recovery plans is relatively limited. Consideration of five key issues is necessary for the implementation of physiological biomarkers in fisheries management, including the selection of relevant biomarkers, identification of species-specific biomarkers, compatibility with routine scientific surveys, use as early warning signals and complementary indicators, and how they can help refine long-term population dynamic projections.

Selective logging reduces body size in omnivorous and frugivorous tropical forest birds

Simone Messina et al.

Summary: Selective logging in tropical forests leads to shifts in species abundances. Body size and body condition are important fitness metrics that may be affected by habitat degradation. Our study found that frugivorous and omnivorous birds had reduced body size in selectively logged forest, with no evidence of selective removal of individuals based on sex differences or post-fledging body size. The study also showed that the body condition index (BCI) of birds was affected by climatic conditions, but not by logging. Overall, our results suggest that body size is a valuable metric to assess the impact of logging on forest birds and highlight the need for improved silvicultural practices.

Reduced dry season fish biomass and depleted carnivorous fish assemblages in unprotected tropical oxbow lakes

Adi Barocas et al.

Summary: The study investigated how fish assemblages in freshwater ecosystems respond to disturbances both inside and outside protected areas, suggesting that extractive activities such as artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) may have indirect impacts on fish communities, leading to trophic downgrading. Protected lakes maintained the diversity of fish assemblages, with carnivores dominating, while disturbed lakes showed an increase in detritivores.

Morphological consequences of climate change for resident birds in intact Amazonian rainforest

Vitek Jirinec et al.

Summary: Research conducted in the Amazonian rainforest over four decades shows that the body size of nonmigratory understory birds has decreased since the early 1980s, with some species showing an increase in wing length. Seasonal precipitation patterns were found to be better predictors of morphological variations than temperature. Both short-term and long-term morphological shifts suggest a response to climate change, reflecting its pervasive consequences.
