1. Biology, distribution and geographic variation of loliginid squids (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) off southwestern Atlantic
ABSTRACT The biology and ecology of southwestern Atlantic loliginid squids have been intensively researched in the last few decades, mostly off the Brazilian southern coast. However, information gathered by scientific research cruisers, either past or recent, is limited. Three species of loliginid squids - the warm-tempered Doryteuthis sanpaulensis (Brakonie

2. Ecologia de Tropidurus torquatus (Wied, 1820) (Squamata, Tropiduridae) no Costão de Itacoatiara, Parque Estadual da Serra da Tiririca, municípios de Niterói e Maricá, RJ / Ecology of Tropidurus torquatus (Wied, 1820) (Squamata, Tropiduridae) no Costão de Itacoatiara, Parque Estadual da Serra da Tiririca, municípios de Niterói e Maricá, RJ
O lagarto Tropidurus torquatus (Wied, 1820) possui ampla distribuição geográfica e é encontrado em abundância nas áreas onde ocorre, sendo considerada uma espécie apropriada para estudos ecológicos. No presente estudo nós analisamos o período de atividade, o uso do microhabitat, a intensidade de forrageamento, a dieta e a ecologia térmica de uma p

3. Distribuição, nicho potencial e ecologia morfológica do gênero enyalius (squamata, leiosauridae) : testes de hipotéses para lagartos de florestas continentais brasileiras
In the first chapter, we saw that the main factors affecting the Enyalius¿ geographical distribution were the annual mean temperature, latitude, and the mean diurnal temperature, which indicates a possible thermal adaptation as a base to explain the group distribution. Enyalius distribution was reflected in the morphological geographical variation, as demon

4. Thermal ecology and thermoregulatory behavior of Coleodactylus natalensis (Squamata: Sphaerodactylidae), in a fragment of the Atlantic forest of northeastern, Brazil
We studied the thermal ecology and thermoregulatory behavior of Coleodactylus natalensis Freire, 1999 in a remnant of a northern coastal patch of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Data were collected during four 20-day field excursions over the course of one year. We assessed the importance of substrate and air temperatures, in addition to time of exposure to s

5. Living in a caatinga-rocky field transitional habitat: ecological aspects of the whiptail lizard Cnemidophorus ocellifer (Teiidae) in northeastern Brazil
The ecology of the active forager lizard Cnemidophorus ocellifer (Spix, 1825) was studied to analyze food habits, thermal ecology and habitat use, in the Morro do Chapéu municipality (11º29'S, 41º07'W), state of Bahia, Brazil. Lizards (N = 34) were collected with rubber bands or with an air rifle and, for each individual, we recorded cloacal temperature (

6. Influence of structural habitat use on the thermal ecology of Gonatodes humeralis (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from a transitional forest in Maranhão, Brazil
We studied the structural habitat use and the thermal ecology of Gonatodes humeralis (Guichenot, 1855) in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, to examine intersexual differences in the use of perch features and to simultaneously analyze reciprocal differences on thermal ecology between the sexes. Gonatodes humeralis body temperature was strongly correlated with en

7. Estrutura da Comunidade de Lagartos de um remanescente de mata atlântica do Estado do Rio Grande Do Norte, Brasil.
As part of a broader project, Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Floristic and Faunistic composition of remnants of Potiguars Atlantic Forest, as subsidies to conservation, that subsidizes a group of institutional research, This study aimed to evaluate the structure of the assemblage of lizards a remnant of the of the northern Atlantic Forest, identifyin

8. Aspectos evolutivos da história de vida e estrutura da casca do ovo de lagartos tropiduríneos / Evolutive aspects of life history and eggshell morphology of Tropidurinae lizards
In lizards, life history components have great phenotypic plasticity and evolve in a correlated way. Clutch size, for example, tends to be positively correlated to body size of gravid females, when comparing different evolutive lineages or different individuals, though some kinds of habit seems to restrict larger clutches. There are indications that other fa

9. Uma ecologia incomum para o gênero Cnemidophorus: o caso de Cnemidophorus lacertoides (Squamata: Teiidae) em um habitat de restinga do sul do Brasil / An usual ecology among whiptails : the case of Cnemidophorus lacertoides of a restinga habitat, South Brazil
This study presents aspects of the ecology of the whiptail lizard Cnemidophorus lacertoides at the restinga habitat of Dunas da Joaquina, in Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. This population presents the known northernmost record for the species. The lizards were collected during the day, on December of three consecutive years, using rubber bands and gl

ETOGRAMA BÁSICO, ECOLOGIA TERMAL E DIMORFISMO SEXUAL DE Tropidurus itambere RODRIGUES, 1987 (SQUAMATA: TROPIDURIDAE) EM UMA ÁREA DE CAMPO RUPESTRE NO SUDESTE DO BRASIL / ETOGRAMA BÁSICO, ECOLOGIA TERMAL E DIMORFISMO SEXUAL DE Tropidurus itambere RODRIGUES, 1987 (SQUAMATA: TROPIDURIDAE) EM UMA ÁREA DE CAMPO RUPESTRE NO SUDESTE DO BRASIL
The aim of this study was to elaborate a basic ethogram for adult individuals of Tropidurus itambere, through observations accomplished in field and outdoor and indoor enclosures and to study the thermal ecology and the sexual dimorphism of the lizards, on December 2006 and between February and November 2007. The observations of the behaviors were accomplish

11. Balanço de materiais na gestão ambiental da cadeia produtiva do carvão vegetal para produção de ferro gusa em Minas Gerais
The material balance is a methodology for environmental evaluation developed in the Industrial Ecology -IE science. IE looks for the concept of industrial metabolism on a parallel approach between industrial systems and biotic systems. And seek the improvement of the environmental performance of the production processes. For the conceptual analysis of the ma

This work aims to analyze the thermal behavior of a green roof with the Braquiária grass (Brachiaria humidicola), that reaches 1m height, comparing it with a traditional roof (concrete slab on show). Considering temperature and relative humidity data obtained through field measurements in different months, the thermal performance of the green and traditiona
