Importance of local and landscape variables on multiple facets of stream fish biodiversity in a Neotropical agroecosystem
Roa-Fuentes, Camilo A.
; ; Zeni, Jaquelini O. ; ; ; Casatti, Lilian (Hydrobiologia, 2020) [Artigo]
Few studies have considered the effects of environmental variables at different spatial scales on Neotropical stream biodiversity. Furthermore, scale-related studies mostly include only one facet of biodiversity. To determine ... -
Stochastic species loss and dispersal limitation drive patterns of spatial and temporal beta diversity of fish assemblages in tropical agroecosystem streams
Zeni, Jaquelini O.; ; ; Casatti, Lilian (Hydrobiologia, 2020) [Artigo]
Beta diversity quantifies changes in assemblages among sites and can identify how anthropogenic changes affect species distributions patterns. We investigated how spatial and temporal beta diversity of fish assemblages ... -
Thresholds of freshwater biodiversity in response to riparian vegetation loss in the Neotropical region
; ; Siqueira, Tadeu; ; ; ; ; ; ; et al. (Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020) [Artigo]
Protecting riparian vegetation around streams is vital in reducing the detrimental effects of environmental change on freshwater ecosystems and in maintaining aquatic biodiversity. Thus, identifying ecological thresholds ... -
Stream fish metacommunity organisation across a Neotropical ecoregion: The role of environment, anthropogenic impact and dispersal-based processes
; ; ; Casatti, Lilian; ; ; ; ; ; (PLoS ONE, 2020) [Artigo]
Understanding how assemblages are structured in space and the factors promoting their distributions is one of the main goals in Ecology, however, studies regarding the distribution of organisms at larger scales remain ... -
Short-term response of fish assemblages to instream habitat restoration in heavily impacted streams
Manzotti, Angelo Rodrigo; ; ; Casatti, Lilian (Neotropical Ichthyology, 2020) [Artigo]
Habitat homogenization has been a major impact in stream ecosystems, and it is considered one of the main drivers of biotic homogenization as well, leading to the loss of water quality and fish diversity. In this study, ... -

Field and laboratory observations on reproductive aspects of Pseudopaludicola ameghini (Cope, 1887) (Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae)
; ; ; ; Rossa-Feres, D. C.; (Journal of Natural History, 2019) [Artigo]
The genus Pseudopaludicola includes small-sized anurans, widely distributed throughout South America. Twenty-three out of the 25 species occur in Brazil. Although described more than a century ago, from mid-southern Mato ... -
The Compositionally Distinct Cyanobacterial Biocrusts From Brazilian Savanna and Their Environmental Drivers of Community Diversity
Machado-de-Lima, Náthali Maria; ; ; ; ; ; Branco, Luis Henrique Zanini (Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019) [Artigo]
The last decade was marked by efforts to define and identify the main cyanobacterial players in biological crusts around the world. However, not much is known about biocrusts in Brazil’s tropical savanna (cerrado), despite ... -
Reinstatement of Metatarsonemus attiah (Acari: Tarsonemidae), with description of a new species, redefinition of the genus and a key to the world species
Lofego, Antonio Carlos; ; ; Rezende, José Marcos ; ; (Zootaxa, 2019) [Resenha]
A new species, Metatarsonemus caissara Lofego & Cavalcante sp. nov., is described based on females and males collected on Eugenia umbelliflora O. Berg. (Myrtaceae) from Atlantic Forest areas of São Paulo State, Brazil. ... -

Smooth, striated, or rough: how substrate textures affect the feeding performance of tadpoles with different oral morphologies
; ; de Sousa, Carlos Eduardo; ; Rossa-Feres, Denise de Cerqueira ; ; (Zoomorphology, 2020) [Artigo]
For grazing animals that share spatial and alimentary resources, the relationship between differences in oral morphology and the physical properties of substrates can help explain how and where species forage. The substrates ... -
Checklist and key for the identification of fish fauna of the uberaba river, upper paraná river system, Brazil
Ribeiro, Douglas de Castro; Chagas, Jumma Miranda Araújo ; Thereza, Mariana Ribeiro ; Langeani, Francisco (ZooKeys, 2019) [Artigo]
The Uberaba River is an important right-bank tributary to the Grande River, in the Upper Paraná River system, Brazil, and the main water source for the public supply of the Uberaba city, Minas Gerais state. An inventory, ... -
Larval sex identification of in vivo and long-term ethanol-preserved social wasps
; ; ; ; ; ; Noll, Fernando Barbosa; (Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2020) [Artigo]
Larval genital discs are sexually dimorphic in many social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae). These sexual traits are visible in vivo and in long-term ethanol-preserved samples. Genital disc morphology provides a cheap, quick, ... -

Two new species of Tarsonemus (Acari: Tarsonemidae) from Bahia, Brazil
; Rezende, José Marcos; Lofego, Antonio Carlos ; ; ; ; (Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2020) [Artigo]
The Tarsonemidae (Acari: Prostigmata) exhibit a high diversity of feeding habits and morphological structures, which allow them to live in a diversity of habitats. Tarsonemus is the largest genus, with more than 280 described ... -
Review of Lorryia Oudemans, 1925 (Acari: Tydeidae: Tydeinae) associated with Hevea spp. in Brazil
