14. Feeding ecology of stream-dwelling Characidae (Osteichthyes: Characiformes) from the upper Tocantins River, Brazil
In this contribution we studied the trophic ecology of four Characidae species from the Cavalo Stream, upper Tocantins River, considering diet overlap and trophic niche breadth. The diet of the four species was composed of adult and immature insects, both autochthonous and allochthonous in origin. Autochthonous items dominated the diet of Moenkhausia dichrou

15. Potential sources of Triatoma infestans reinfesting peridomiciles identified by morphological characterization in Los Llanos, La Rioja, Argentina
The presence of Triatoma infestans in habitats treated with insecticides constitutes a frequent problem in endemic areas. Basing our study on the hypothesis that descendants of a residual population should be more similar to the pre-treatment population than to any other, we compared the indications of two quantitative morphological approaches. This study se

16. Seasonal habitat selection of the red deer (Cervus elaphus alxaicus) in the Helan Mountains, China
We studied the seasonal habitat selection of the red deer, Cervus elaphus alxaicus Bobrinskii & Flerov, 1935, in the Helan Mountains, China, from December 2007 to December 2008. Habitat selection varied widely by season. Seasonal movements between high and low elevations were attributed to changes in forage availability, alpine topography, the arid climate o

17. Influência da agregação larval na história de vida de Ascia monuste orseis (Godart, 1819) (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) / Influence of larval aggregation on life-history traits of Ascia monuste orseis (Godart, 1819) (Lepidoptera, Pieridae)
In insects, the gregarious habit has been shown to improve foraging and defense against predation to both larval and adult stages. Egg clusters could also be beneficial through increased larval hatching. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that egg clusters and larval aggregations of the neotropical butterfly Ascia monuste orseis (Godart, 1819) (Pieridae

18. MENSURAÇÃO DO GRAU DE INOVAÇÃO EM MICRO E PEQUENAS EMPRESAS DO ESTADO DE SERGIPE. / MEASURING THE DEGREE OF INNOVATION IN MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES STATE SERGIPE.
There is consensus among academic and business (SMEs) communities about the importance of innovation as a success factor for enterprises competition and survival. In Brazil, despite the micro and small businesses represent 99% of existing businesses and be responsible for generating the most jobs, has been verified in several studies, the small innovative co

19. Recent developments in microbial oils production: a possible alternative to vegetable oils for biodiesel without competition with human food?
Since centuries vegetable oils are consumed as human food but it also finds applications in biodiesel production which is attracting more attention. But due to being in competition with food it could not be sustainable and leads the need to search for alternative. Nowdays microbes-derived oils (single cell oils) seem to be alternatives for biodiesel producti

20. Caracterização trófica da ictiofauna da Represa do Beija-Flor, na Estação Ecológica de Jataí, Luiz Antônio, SP
The feeding habits, reproduction and growth of omnivores, herbivores, detritivores and iliófagos fish species from the Beija-flor reservoir in Jataí Ecological Station were investigated. This provides information on the trophic interaction between species, feeding habits, establishing guilds and also provides subsidies for monitoring the the Beija-flor res

21. Ecologia trÃfica de Rhinella hoogmoedi Caramaschi e Pombal, 2006 (Anura, Bufonidae) em uma floresta Ãmida do estado do CearÃ, Brasil / Trophic ecology of Rhinella hoogmoedi Caramaschi e Pombal, 2006 (Anura, Bufonidae) in a humid forest in the State of CearÃ, Brazil.
The understanding of trophic relations among species is essential for the comprehension of their ecological evolutionary history, as well as in the understanding of how communities are structured. The consumption of the same food resource by two or more species may result in the evolution of mechanisms capable of reducing this inter- specific competition, wi
