Disentangling the multiple drivers of tadpole metacommunity structure in different ecoregions and multiple spatial scales
Pelinson, Rodolfo Mei

Differential behavioral responses of benthic and nektonic tadpoles to predation at varying water depths
de Souza, Yasmim Caroline Mossioli; ; ; Vasconcelos, Tiago Silveira ; Rossa-Feres, Denise de Cerqueira (Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2022) [Artigo]
Predators influence microhabitat selection and activity level of tadpoles, but it is still unclear how such responses to predators differ among species and how water column’s depth influences this predator–prey interaction. ... -
Histology and ultrastructure of glands associated with the sting apparatus of the swarm-founding wasp Protopolybia exigua (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae)
da Silva, Marjorie; Noll, Fernando Barbosa ; (Arthropod Structure and Development, 2022) [Artigo]
Social insects present a great diversity of exocrine glands, which are linked to fundamental roles of social life, and their morphological characterization represents the first step toward the knowledge of their function. ... -
Phylogeny of the clade K92 (Opiliones, Laniatores, Gonyleptidae) with description of a new subfamily and discussion on the evolution of caelopygine facies and sexual dimorphism
; Bernabé, Tiago N.; ; ; (Zoologischer Anzeiger, 2022) [Artigo]
Background: K92 is a clade of Gonyleptidae harvestmen of which the greatest diversity lies within the large non-monophyletic subfamily Gonyleptinae. K92 formally includes five subfamilies: Caelopyginae Sørensen, 1884, ... -
Functional redundancy dampens precipitation change impacts on species-rich invertebrate communities across the Neotropics
(Functional Ecology, 2022) [Artigo]Animal community responses to extreme climate events can be predicted from the functional traits represented within communities. However, it is unclear whether geographic variation in the response of functional community ... -
First identification of bacterial endosymbionts in three South- American spittlebug pests: Notozulia entreriana, Deois mourei and Deois knoblauchii
Wenceslau, Jose F. C.; Santos, Eduardo F. ; Carnimeo, Fernando H. ; Noll, Fernando B. (Bulletin Of Insectology, 2022) [Artigo]
Spittlebugs cause major pasture damage in the Neotropics. As most xylem-feeders, they depend on microbial symbionts to supply essential amino acids to their diet. Here, the obligate nutritional endosymbiont `Candidatus ... -
Reproductive behaviour, cutaneous morphology, and skin secretion analysis in the anuran Dermatonotus muelleri
; ; ; ; ; ; ; Rossa-Feres, Denise Cerqueira; (iScience, 2022) [Artigo]
Despite the common poison and mucous glands, some amphibian groups have differentiated glands associated with reproduction and usually present on the male ventral surface. Known as breeding glands or sexually dimorphic ... -
Taxonomic and functional turnover of amazonian stream fish assemblages is determined by deforestation history and environmental variables at multiple scales
Brejão, Gabriel L.; ; ; ; ; Casatti, Lilian (Neotropical Ichthyology, 2021) [Artigo]
High rates of deforestation, either in the past or the present, affect many of the ecological processes in streams. Integrating deforestation history and the current landscape structure enhances the evaluation of ecological ... -
Generalist populations formed by generalist individuals: A case of study on the feeding habits of a neotropical stream fish
; ; ; Casatti, Lilian; (Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2021) [Artigo]
Aim: We described the diet of the generalist stream fish Knodus chapadae and we tested if the environmental conditions are associated with population’s diet and individual specialization. Methods: We analyzed the stomach ... -
Do spatial and recognition memories have a lateralized processing by the dorsal hippocampus CA3?
Pimentel, Gabrielle Araujo; Crestani, Ariela Maltarolo ; Florindo, Luiz Henrique (Behavioural Brain Research, 2022) [Artigo]
The present study evaluated the function of the right and left CA3 of the dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) in the processing of (i) recognition memory, (ii) recent and remote spatial memory, (iii) working memory and (iv) navigation ... -
Evaluation of the biotic integrity of riachos from ictiofauna
Casatti, Lilian; Ortigossa, Camila (Oecologia Australis, 2021) [Artigo]
Almost four decades ago, ecologist James R. Karr published the first version of the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) to assess the health of aquatic ecosystems from fish assemblages. Since then, numerous adaptations, ... -
Ontogenetic development related to parental care of a neotropical fish, pterygoplichthys ambrosettii (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)
Araujo, Renato B.; Langeani, Francisco (Zoological Studies, 2020) [Artigo]
This study describes the main ontogenetic changes in the armored catfish Pterygoplichthys ambrosettii from newly hatched larva to adult. The relation between the degree of development of newly hatched larvae and post-larvae ... -
