13. Análise molecular de amostras fecais de uma população de veado-mateiro (Mazama americana) para a obtenção de informações genéticas e ecológicas / Molecular analysis of faecal samples of a red brocket deer (Mazama americana) population for obtaining genetic and ecological information
Mazama genus is composed by five species in Brazil. All of them are difficult to observe due to their evasive behaviors, what makes the captures and behavioral studies almost impossible. Thus, the use of non invasive methodologies is necessary to study the ecology and genetics of these species. The fecal DNA analysis is one of the most promising techniques f

14. Distribuição espacial, formação de grupos, uso do hábitat e ecologia comportamental de jovens de tubarão limão, negaprion brevirostris (poey 1868), no arquipélago de fernando de noronha
Lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris, are common in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, but detailed information about the species in this site is lacking. The aim of this study was to describe the spatial distribution, grouping behavior, habitat use and behavioral ecology of juvenile lemon sharks in the archipelago, and their interaction with some environm

15. Estratégias de forrageamento e evitação de predadores em Charadriidae e Scolopacidae na Baía de Todos os Santos, Bahia, Brasil
Shorebirds (Charadriidae and Scolopacidae) are a notable component of coastal ecosystems, especially of bays and estuaries. The great majority of these species is migratory, conducting long trips between Arctic and Sub-arctic breeding grounds and temperate and tropical wintering grounds. My general objective of this thesis was to analyze the foraging and pre

16. Ecologia das interações entre Udranomia spitzi (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae) e formigas tendo como hospedeira Ouratea spectabilis (Ochnaceae) em um cerrado mineiro / Ecology of interactions between Udranomia spitzi (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae) and ants on Ouratea spectabilis (Ochnaceae) in a savanna from Minas Gerais state, Brazil
Studies in multitrophic systems can serve as tools to investigate the structure and organization of ecological communities. Because it is a biome rich in multitrophic interactions, the Cerrado (tropical savanna) is a good model for the study of insect-plant interactions. Udranomia spitzi (Hesperiidae) is an endemic butterfly from Cerrado. In the immature sta

17. ASPECTOS DA ECOLOGIA POPULACIONAL E COMPORTAMENTAL DE Nephila clavipes (Linnaeus, 1767) (ARANEAE, NEPHILIDAE)
Nephila clavipes (Linnaeus, 1767) is a species of orb-web spider found throughout Brazil. The aim of this work was to evaluate aspects of the populational ecology of the species, along with growth, development, and phenology of individuals located in the campus of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), in the municipality of Juiz de Fora, Minas Ger

18. BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY OF BLUE MANAKIN (AVES, PIPRIDAE) IN FAR SOUTH OF ATLANTIC FOREST / ECOLOGIA COMPORTAMENTAL DO TANGARÁ CHIROXIPHIA CAUDATA (AVES, PIPRIDAE) NO EXTREMO SUL DA FLORESTA ATLÂNTICA
O Tangará Chiroxiphia caudata é um pássaro com ampla distribuição no sul da floresta atlântica, abrangendo desde florestas ombrófilas da serra do Mar até as florestas estacionais do planalto brasileiro e meridional. Embora a espécie seja bem conhecida por suas danças acrobáticas, muito do seu comportamento e ecologia são desconhecidos ou pouco es

19. Interações ecológicas em Malpighiaceae no cerrado: compartilhamento de guildas de herbívoros e variações nos resultados da interação formiga-planta / Ecological interactions in Malpighiaceae in the Cerrado: sharing of guilds from herbivores and variations in the results of ant-plant interaction
Ecological interactions represent essential tools for a better understanding of natural communities, having in animal-plant relationships important models for study. For that, become needful phenological analyses of plants, capable of demonstrating the flowering strategies and with it the ways of temporal organization of resources available for herbivores. T

20. Características da planta hospedeira, ontogênese e comportamento alimentar das larvas de Heliconius erato phyllis (Fabricius, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
No contexto da herbivoria, a interação inseto-planta é um sistema dinâmico. As plantas apresentam características que influenciam a preferência e o desempenho dos herbívoros, como por exemplo, a variação da dureza e espessura do limbo foliar, de forma dependente à espécie e à idade da estrutura considerada. Por sua vez, os insetos podem responder

21. Predatory behavior of the land flatworm Notogynaphallia abundans (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida)
Land flatworms are carnivorous, mainly predators. However, knowledge on their predatory behavior and prey preference is very scarce. This paucity of data is a limiting factor in the study of their biology and organismal ecology, resulting in a very difficult task to breed them in the laboratory for prolonged periods if prey preference and predation frequency

22. The ecology and behavior of thin-spined porcupine (Chaetomys subspinosus, Olfers 1818) in fragments of the Atlantic forest, Ilheus, southern Bahia / Ecologia e comportamento do ouriço-preto (Chaetomys subspinosus, Olfers 1818) em fragmentos de Mata Atlântica do município de Ilhéus, sul da Bahia
The behavioral ecology of thin-spined porcupine (Chaetomys subspinosus, Olfers 1818), threatened rodent endemic from Atlantic forest, was researched in the cacao-growing region of southern Bahia. The knowledge about basic aspects of specie natural history is still incipient. The aim of the present research was to study feeding ecology, behavior temporal orga

23. Analise das estrategias da pesca do camarão de São Francisco, São Sebastião-SP : pela Teoria do Forrageio Otimo / Analysis of the strategies of shrimp fishing in São Francisco, São Sebastião-SP : through the Optimal Foraging Theory
This study uses ecological models derived from the Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) to understand the decision-making processes among bottom trawling shrimp fishermen at the São Francisco Neighborhood, in the district of São Sebastião, SP, Brazil. Using the theoretical background of Human Behavioral Ecology the aim of this work was to analyze fishermen s str

24. Reconhecimento parental em abelhas eussociais Neotropicais (Hymenoptera: Apinae, Meliponini): uma análise dos mediadores químicos e seus determinantes em Frieseomelitta varia / Kin recognition in neotropical eusoccial bees (hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini): analysis of chemical mediators and its determinants for Frieseomelitta varia
The ability to discriminate among genetic related individuals has a main importance in the Kin selection Hamiltons theory. Social insects use odor cues in recognition systems, and the main used cues are compounds present in their cuticle. These cues may originate from endogenous and exogenous sources. The exogenous cues may be absorbed from nest materials, f
