Stomach contents of birds from the Brazilian Cerrado savannas
(Ornithology Research, 2022) [Artigo]Birds are important bioindicators and have been frequently used to ascertain and monitor environmental changes. Therefore, even today in the twenty-first century, it is of great importance to study and accumulate basic ... -
Trip durations of daily and seasonal foraging activities in Mischocyttarus nomurae (Richards) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)
(Sociobiology, 2022) [Artigo]The study of foraging activity in wasps is important to understand the social organization and its evolutionary success. We examined aspects of the daily and seasonal foraging activities of Mischocyttarus nomurae Richards ... -
Developmental plasticity in amphibian larvae across the world: Investigating the roles of temperature and latitude
(Journal of Thermal Biology, 2022) [Artigo]Temperature-induced developmental plasticity could allow amphibian larvae to complete metamorphosis successfully despite new thermal challenges and increased desiccation risk due to climate change. Here we investigated how ... -
Diet of two coexisting martins (Passeriformes: Hirundinidae) from southeastern Brazil
(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
(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)
(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
(Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2021) [Artigo]This work describes the length-weight relationship (LWR) of ten fish species from the Contas River Basin, Bahia State, Brazil. Sampling was conducted quarterly between November 2012 and November 2013 in 18 wadeable streams ... -
Effects of different levels of hypoxia and hypercarbia on ventilation and gas exchange in Boa constrictor amaralis and Crotalus durissus (Squamata: Serpentes)
(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)
(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)
(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
(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
(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 ... -

(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
(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)
(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 ... -
