13. Planning theory- and evidence-based behavior change interventions: a conceptual review of the intervention mapping protocol
Abstract This paper discusses the Intervention Mapping (IM) protocol for planning theory- and evidence-based behavior change interventions. IM has been developed in the field of health promotion in 1998 and has mostly been applied in that field, but applications in other fields are emerging. IM can be used for any intervention that involves changing behavior

14. Oviposition behavior of Haemagogus leucocelaenus (Diptera: culicidae), a vector of wild yellow fever in Brazil
ABSTRACT Haemagogus leucocelaenus, which is considered a major vector of wild yellow fever, exhibits acrodendrophilic habits and mainly deposits its eggs in treeholes and bamboo internodes. The selection of nursery sites is essential in the life history and reproductive success of mosquitoes. The present work investigated the preferred oviposition height and

15. The use of microsatellite markers in Neotropical studies of wild birds: a literature review
ABSTRACT Despite extensive habitat fragmentation, the Neotropical region possesses 30% of the world´s bird species. Microsatellites have remained one of the most popular genetic markers and have been used in ecological and conservation studies since the 1990’s. We conducted a literature review comparing the number of papers published from January 1990 to

16. ACTIVIDAD REPRODUCTIVA Y DIETA DE HEMIDACTYLUS FRENATUS (SAURIA: GEKKONIDAE) EN EL NORTE DE COLOMBIA
ABSTRACT Despite its success as an invasive species, little is known about the ecological aspects of the gekkonid lizard Hemidactylus frenatus in Colombia. In the present study the size at maturity, sexual dimorphism, reproductive activity, and diet composition of a population of this species in an urban locality of Northern Colombia were determined. We cond

17. Diel Variations and Ecological Aspects in Fish Assemblages of a Sandy Beach in the Semi-Arid Region of Northeast Brazil.
ABSTRACT For the demersal fish that inhabit sandy beaches, the variation between day and night periods represents a determinant factor in their behavior, especially for species that live in shallow waters. This research aims at determining whether there are differences in the fish assemblage structure of the sandy beach of São Cristóvão, RN, Brazil, betwe

18. Flight patterns and sex ratio of beetles of the subfamily Dynastinae (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae)
ABSTRACT Dynastinae is one of the most representative subfamilies of Melolonthidae (Scarabaeoidea) and has considerable ecological importance due mainly to interactions with plants of the families Araceae and Annonaceae. This relationship has led to the evolution of nocturnal activity patterns, which are influenced by environmental conditions. In the present

19. Acoustic communication in two species of the Hypsiboas albopunctatus group (Anura: Hylidae) in sympatry and allopatry
ABSTRACT Tropical anuran communities are very diverse. Nevertheless, much of their ecological and historical processes remain unknown. Bioacoustical studies are important to help to solve these puzzles. In the present study we examined the effect of environmental (air temperature and humidity) and morphological (body size) attributes on the acoustic paramete

20. Factors affecting escape distance in birds
ABSTRACT The flight initiation distance has been used either to understand the cost-benefit trade-offs related to the risk of predation or as an important tool for wildlife managers. Although this variable is well-discussed for temperate regions, it is still poorly known in the Neotropics. Here we analyze the escape behavior of birds from southeastern Brazil

21. Determinants of capture-recapture success: an evaluation of trapping methods to estimate population and community parameters for Atlantic forest small mammals
ABSTRACT Efficiently obtaining high-quality data on animal populations and communities is paramount for ecological and conservation studies. In many instances these data come from live-trapping, the success of which depends on various factors, such as the interaction between the trap's mechanisms and the morphological or ecological characteristics of the ani

22. Ecological model of competitive interaction among three species of amphipods associated to Bryocladia thrysigera (J. Agardh) and extreme environmental stress effects
Population rates of the three dominant amphipod species (Hyale nigra, Caprella danileviskii and Caprella penantis) associated to Bryocladia thrysigera, were calculated revealing similar values for the intrinsic growth rate. The empirical data modeled presented a good fit to the May-Leonard three-species competition model in a discrete Ricker form with period

23. A relação entre conhecimento ecológico, preocupação ecológica, afeto ecológico, normas subjetivas e o comportamento de compras verdes no setor de cosméticos / The relationship between ecological knowledge, ecological concern, ecological affection and subjective standards of green shopping behavior in the cosmetics industry
Research which seeks to investigate the relationship between environmental factors and the consumer behavior is still embryonic in Brazil, which is a unique opportunity for those studies that relate the purchasing behavior of consumers to environmental issues. In this perspective, the goal of this research was to ascertain whether there is correlation betwee

24. VALORES ORGANIZACIONAIS E PESSOAIS E COMPORTAMENTOS ECOLÓGICOS: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO NO CONTEXTO DA GESTÃO SOCIOAMBIENTAL / ORGANIZATIONAL AND PERSONAL VALUES AND THE ECOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR: AN INVESTIGATION IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
New organizational architectures oriented in the search for sustainability require a new thinking on the organizational and personal values as well as the coherent behaviors in this cultural context. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the organizational and personal values as well as the individual ecological behavior in a company included in this
