Diet of two coexisting martins (Passeriformes: Hirundinidae) from southeastern Brazil
Oniki-Willis, Yoshika
; Willis, Edwin O. ; Machado, Vera Ligia Letizio ; (Ornithology Research, 2022) [Artigo]
Diets of birds are still a subject not well documented for many species of birds. Despite its importance for the understanding of the natural history and life history theory, the knowledge of Neotropical birds’ diet is ... -
Rhamnolipids and essential oils in the control of mosquito-borne tropical diseases
Salazar-Bryam, Ana Maria; Silva, Vinicius Luis ; de Abreu, Marina Rodrigues ; Matos, Renata Silva ; da Rocha, Mateus Aparecido Gonçalves ; Neves, Raphael Culim ; Camargo-Mathias, Maria Izabel ; Von Zuben, Claudio José ; ; Contiero, Jonas (Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021) [Artigo]
The diseases transmitted by mosquito vectors are a great public health issue. Thus, effective vector control becomes the main strategy to reduce their prevalence. However, insecticide resistance has become a huge concern ... -
Nest Architecture and Animals Associated with Neoponera verenae (Forel) (Formicidae, Ponerinae)
Moleiro, Hugo R; Silva-Melo, Adolfo Da ; Giannotti, Edilberto (Sociobiology, 2021) [Artigo]
The nests of ants Neoponera have chambers that can also be occupied by other species of organisms that can be tenants, visitors or prey. However, few studies have considered the assemblage of the associated species and ... -
Length–weight relationship for ten native fish species captured in the streams of the Contas River basin, Northeastern Mata Atlântica freshwater ecoregion, Brazil

Effects of different levels of hypoxia and hypercarbia on ventilation and gas exchange in Boa constrictor amaralis and Crotalus durissus (Squamata: Serpentes)
; ; Abe, Augusto Shinya; (Respiratory Physiology and Neurobiology, 2021) [Artigo]
Ventilation and gas exchange have been studied in relatively few species of snakes, especially regarding their response to environmental hypoxia or hypercarbia. We exposed Crotalus durissus (N = 6) and Boa constrictor (N ... -
Functional morphology of the lungs of the green iguana, Iguana iguana, in relation of Body mass (Squamata: Reptilia)
; ; Abe, Augusto Shinya; (Vertebrate Zoology, 2018) [Artigo]
Body mass is one of the most influencing factors of metabolic rate and gas exchange of animals, and also related to activity pattern and occupancy of ecological niches. This study aimed to understand the relationships ... -
Activity, acoustic repertoire and social interactions of the red toadlet, Brachycephalus pitanga (Anura: Brachycephalidae)
de Oliveira, Eliziane Garcia; Haddad, Célio Fernando Baptista (Salamandra, 2017) [Artigo]
The genus Brachycephalus is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest with most of its known species having been described only recently. In contrast to growing body of knowledge regarding the taxonomy of this genus, there ... -
Notes on the breeding behaviour of the Neotropical toadlet Dendrophryniscus brevipollicatus (Anura: Bufonidae), a bromeliad phytotelmata specialist
Malagoli, Leo Ramos; ; Condez, Thais Helena ; ; Berneck, Bianca von Muller ; Haddad, Célio Fernando Baptista (Herpetology Notes, 2017) [Artigo]
Anurans are considered to have the greatest diversity of reproductive modes among the major groups of terrestrial vertebrates. In the Bufonidae, oviposition can occur in pools and give rise to exotrophic tadpoles (e.g., ... -
Regularized linear and nonlinear autoregressive models for dengue confirmed-cases prediction
Sousa, Larissa Braz; Von Zuben, Claudio J. ; (Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 2015) [Trabalho apresentado em evento]
Based solely on the dengue confirmed-cases of six densely populated urban areas in Brazil, distributed along the country, we propose in this paper regularized linear and nonlinear autoregressive models for one-week ahead ... -

Morphological and anatomical characterization of the digestive tract of Centropomus parallelus and C. undecimalis
; ; ; ; Goitein, Roberto; (Acta Scientiarum - Biological Sciences, 2013) [Artigo]
Centropomus parallelus and C. undecimalis are the most common species of Centropomidae in Brazil. Some authors attribute their failure to grow under in artificial conditions due to limited knowledge on the morphological ... -
Entomological surveillance, spatial distribution, and diversity of Culicidae (Diptera) immatures in a rural area of the Atlantic Forest biome, State of São Paulo, Brazil
Piovezan, Rafael; ; ; ; Von Zuben, Cláudio José (Journal of Vector Ecology, 2013) [Artigo]
Because of the high adaptive capacity of mosquitoes, studies that focus on transitional environments become very important, such as those in rural areas, which are considered as bridges between wild diseases and human ... -
Life expectancy and entropy values for workers of Pachycondyla striata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae)
Da Silva-Melo, Adolfo; Giannotti, Edilberto (Sociobiology, 2011) [Artigo]
We investigated the life expectancy and entropy value for workers of the ant Pachycondyla striata. Seven nests were excavated and these colonies were raised in laboratory conditions. The workers have a mean life-span of ... -
