1. Habitat structure and their influence in lizard’s presence
Abstract Many species are declining due to environmental and physical changes in their habitats. Such disturbs alter the availability of micro-habitats and influences the presence of lizards, being even worse for threatened and endemic species. Glaucomastix littoralis is a teiid species restricted to four restingas areas of Brazil. The understanding about th

2. Shredders prefer soft and fungal-conditioned leaves, regardless of their initial chemical traits
RESUMO Nós investigamos em experimento de campo e de laboratório os efeitos das características foliares e condicionamento microbiano de duas espécies de árvores na abundância, biomassa e preferência alimentar de um fragmentador típico. No experimento de campo, comparamos a associação do Phylloicus (Calamoceratidae, Trichoptera) entre duas espécie

3. Differential Susceptibility of MDF and Commercial Wood to Coptotermes gestroi
ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the foraging and feeding preferences of Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in wood from four forest species and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) in urban areas of the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro, São Gonçalo and Seropédica, RJ, Brazil. Wooden and MDF stakes were buried in the soil in the presence of

4. Resistance of sugarcane cultivars to Mahanarva fimbriolata
ABSTRACT The spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata (Stål) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) is one of the most important pest of sugarcane in Brazil. Population control measures are currently restricted to the use of chemical insecticides and the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, in part because very little information exists regarding the resistance of sugarcane cultivars.

5. Description of the feeding preferences of triatominae in the Chagas disease surveillance study for the State of Pernambuco, Brazil (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Studying the feeding preferences of triatomines is an important entomological surveillance tool, since continuous surveillance of the disease is necessary. METHODS: The precipitin reaction was used to describe the feeding preferences of triatomines along with their natural infection by flagellates similar to Tyrpanosoma cruzi. Six

6. Biology and nutrition of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) fed on different food sources
ABSTRACT: We studied Spodoptera frugiperda development using different food sources in the laboratory and field. Newly hatched larvae were fed soybean, cotton, maize, wheat, and oat leaves. An artificial diet was used as the control. Duration of pre-pupal, pupal, and larva-adult period, pupal weight, sex ratio, survival, larva feeding preferences, ovipositio

7. Resistance mechanisms of sugarcane cultivars to spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata
ABSTRACT The spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata (Stål) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) is one of the most important pests of sugarcane in Brazil. Measures for population control are currently restricted to the use of chemical insecticides and fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, in part because very little information exists regarding resistance of sugarcane cultivars.

8. Litter traits and palatability to detritivores: a case study across bio-geographical boundaries
The activity of the litter-feeding macrofauna affects litter decomposition rates at the local scale, and their preference for particular litter types is mediated by litter traits. Environmental changes such as invasion by exotic plants may change the characteristics of the litter at a local scale, with consequences to ecosystem processes. Here we evaluated t

9. Contexto sociocultural y alimentario de mujeres con embarazos de riesgo
To promote a healthy diet, the dietary guidance should consider socio-cultural factors as they influence both the food standards and preferences of each population. The aim of this study was to describe the socio-cultural contexts of pregnancy and feeding in the domestic arena, using a qualitative approach. In-depth interviews were conducted using the data s

10. Leishmania infection and host-blood feeding preferences of phlebotomine sandflies and canine leishmaniasis in an endemic European area, the Algarve Region in Portugal
The Algarve Region (AR) in southern Portugal, which is an international tourist destination, has been considered an endemic region of zoonotic leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum since the 1980s. In the present study, phlebotomine and canine surveys were conducted to identify sandfly blood meal sources and to update the occurrence of Leishmania infec

11. Estratégias e fisiologia do consumo e digestão de esponjas (Porifera) por Echinaster brasiliensis (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) / Strategies and physiology of the consumption and digestion of sponges (Porifera) by Echinaster brasiliensis (Echinodermata: Asteroidea)
Sponges are sessile and have a skeleton made of microscopic inorganic elements (spicules), collagen fibers and/or combinations of these two components. Although without clear physical defenses such as shells or spines, they are not preyed upon, and this is attributed mainly to the presence of active secondary metabolites. Recently, a role of skeletal compone

12. Some aspects of chicken behavior and welfare
Brazil is the world leader in broiler production and export. It achieved this position mainly to its excellent supply chain structure and climate, which favor poultry and grain production throughout its territory. Although Brazilian egg production is not as important as broiler production, this segment presents great potential of increasing its share in the
