Dietary expansion facilitates the persistence of a large frugivore in fragmented tropical forests
(Animal Conservation, 2021) [Artigo]How species persist in fragmented habitats is essential to understanding species resilience in response to increasing anthropogenic pressures. It has been suggested that expansion in dietary niche allows populations to ... -
Diet of invasive wild pigs in a landscape dominated by sugar cane plantations
(Journal of Mammalogy, 2021) [Artigo]Understanding the mechanisms by which alien species become invasive can assure successful control programs and mitigate alien species' impacts. The distribution of invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) has been sharply expanding ... -
Differential use of trophic resources between an exotic and a coexisting native snail
(Limnology, 2022) [Artigo]Knowing the interactions between exotic and native species is essential to establish possible threats to the local fauna. In this study, we assessed the use of food resources and diet overlap between a recently introduced ... -
Genetics components of rice root architecture and carbon isotopic fractionation parameters: a tracer for breeding in a water-saving irrigation management
(Journal of Crop Science and Biotechnology, 2022) [Artigo]Phenotyping is the major bottleneck in the effort to develop varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) suitable for growing under a water-saving irrigation management, such as alternate wetting and drying irrigation techniques ... -
Frozen zooplankton is efficient as natural food during pirarucu Arapaima gigas weaning
(Aquaculture Research, 2021) [Artigo]The commercial production of carnivorous fish depends on the feed training that can be made through the direct transition from natural food to inert food. As using live natural food requires care in production, alternative ... -
Standardization of a sample-processing methodology for stable isotope studies in poultry
(Revista Brasileira de Ciencia Avicola, 2019) [Artigo]The objective of this study was to determine if lipid extraction processes alter the isotopic value of δ13C and δ15N of tissues (pectoral muscle, thigh and liver) and eggs and if the use of anticoagulants interferes with ... -
Distance from the trunk and depth of uptake of labelled nitrate for dominant and suppressed trees in Brazilian Eucalyptus plantations: Consequences for fertilization practices
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2019) [Artigo]Climate changes will increase the probability of drought, which is likely to dramatically increase tree mortality. The capacity of trees to withdraw water in deep soil layers is an important trait likely to account for ... -
Characterization of the Poultry Litter Biomass for Production of Biochar
(Revista Virtual De Quimica, 2019) [Artigo]Brazil emerges as the world's second-largest producer of broiler chicken. In production, there is the formation of the poultry litter, usually consisting of sawdust, water, feed, droppings and feather of the chickens. After ... -
Use of stable isotopes of carbon to detect coconut water adulteration
(Scientia Agricola, 2019) [Artigo]Industrialized coconut water may have been adulterated by adding sugar above the limit permitted by law. According to Brazilian law, industrialized coconut water can receive the maximum addition of 1 g of sugar per 100 mL ... -
Statistical analysis of lake sediment geochemical data for understanding surface geological factors and processes: An example from Amazonian upland lakes, Brazil
(Catena, 2019) [Artigo]Statistical evaluation applied to geochemical data of upland lake sediments and their catchment basins rocks from Serra dos Carajas was used to identify geochemical signatures associated with underlying processes, sediment ... -
Evaluation of growth performance and gastro-intestinal parameters on the response of weaned piglets to dietary organic acids
(Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2018) [Artigo]Two experiments (E) were carried out to evaluate the effects of fumaric acid and an acidifier blend [composed by calcium formate, calcium lactate and medium-chain fatty acids (capric and caprylic)] in piglet diets containing ... -
Estimation of the metabolic rate by assessing carbon-13 turnover in broiler tissues using the stable isotope technique
(Livestock Science, 2018) [Artigo]The aim of this study was to estimate the metabolic rate of broiler tissues by assessing carbon turnover in different growth phases by using the stable isotope technique and by evaluating the natural changes in Carbon-13 ... -
Análise isotópica do carbono e legalidade de polpas, sucos tropicais e néctares comerciais de goiaba
(Boletim Centro de Pesquisa de Processamento de Alimentos, 2016) [Artigo]The aim of this study was to quantify the carbon of C3 photosynthetic cycle in guava commercial pulps, tropical juices and nectars through the carbon stable isotope technique to identify the beverages at odds with Brazilian ... -
Dietary lysine deficiency increases the incorporation rate of nitrogen-free compounds in muscle of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
(Aquaculture, 2017) [Artigo]Isotopic experiments are conducted to evaluate turnover rates in fish tissue, especially as a function of nutrition. In 2007, Cerling et al. proposed an approach they named the reaction progress variable, which among other ... -
Natural Stable Isotopes for Determination of Gastrointestinal Transit Time in Fish
(Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2016) [Artigo]This study evaluated the application of stable isotopes of carbon as an alternative and more accurate method to determine gastrointestinal transit time (GTT) in fish by comparing it to the inert marker method. The stable ... -
