1. Assessment of interspecific interactions between the invasive red-claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) and the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus)
Resumo O lagostim australiano, Cherax quadricarinatus, tem sido introduzido para fins de aquicultura em todo o mundo e, consequentemente, colonizado ambientes naturais, onde pode coexistir com a biota local sem causar perdas nos serviços dos ecossistemas ou afetar negativamente as espécies nativas e o meio ambiente local. Esta espécie foi encontrada pela

2. Unravelling the foraging behavior of the southern stingray, Hypanus americanus (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) in a Southwestern Atlantic MPA
RESUMO Um estudo anterior sugeriu que a raia-prego (Hypanus americanus) apresenta uma marcante mudança ontogenética no seu uso de hábitat no Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha (FNA), local turístico atraente no Brasil, que pode ser associado a mudanças em seus hábitos alimentares e estratégias de forrageamento. Aqui, nós conduzimos amostragens visua

3. Activity budget and social behavior of urban capuchin monkeys, Sapajus sp. (Primates: Cebidae)
ABSTRACT Constant changes in natural environments impose challenges to wild animal populations, especially those that depend on social life. We gathered data on the activity budget and social interactions of a capuchin monkey (Sapajus sp.) group of 17 individuals confined to an urban green area receiving human food supplementation. We observed the capuchins

4. How pollinator visits are affected by flower damage and ants presence in Ipomoea carnea subs. fistulosa (Martius and Choise) (Convolvulaceae)?
Resumo Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito da florivoria e do patrulhamento de formigas nos NEFs - nectários extraflorais sobre a frequência dos visitantes florais, utilizando a espécie Ipomoea carnea subs. fistulosa (Martius e Choise), em uma área de Caatinga. Os atributos florais da espécie foram caracterizados. Foram avaliados o efeito

5. 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

6. Thermal preferences and limits of Triatoma brasiliensis in its natural environment - Field observations while host searching
The goal of this work was to explore the thermal relationship between foraging Triatoma brasiliensis and its natural habitat during the hottest season in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The thermal profiles were determined using infrared analysis. Although the daily temperature of rock surfaces varied in a wide range, T. brasiliensisselected to walk through are

7. Foraging strategies of the ant Ectatomma vizottoi (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
Foraging strategies of the ant Ectatomma vizottoi (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). Foraging activity may be limited by temperature, humidity, radiation, wind, and other abiotic factors, all of which can affect energy costs during foraging. Ectatomma vizottoi's biology has only recently been studied, and no detailed information is available on its foraging patterns

8. 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

9. 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

10. Abelhas visitantes florais, potenciais polinizadoras do algodoeiro (Gossypium hirsutum L.) em cultivo agroecolÃgico / Bees floral visitors, potential pollinators of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in agro-ecological farming
This study was conducted in July 2010 in the town of ChorÃ- CE, to evaluate the bees visiting the flowers of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. CNPA - 7MH) in two agroecological crops. To do so, assessed the diversity of insects in two areas, their frequency, foraging behavior and potential pollinators of the culture, and studied the floral biology and polli

11. Proboscis Length and Resource Utilization in Two Uruguayan Bumblebees: Bombus atratus Franklin and Bombus bellicosus Smith (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Bumblebees (Bombus sp.) are eusocial insects with an annual life cycle whose use as pollinator of crops has gained great importance in modern agriculture. Several authors have found that resource use in Bombus species is usually based on the correlation between the proboscis length of the bumblebees and the corolla depth of the flowers. The aim of this study

12. Fine-scale habitat selection of chilean dolphins (Cephalorhynchus eutropia) : interactions with aquaculture activities in southern Chiloé Island, Chile
Fine-scale habitat selection of Chilean dolphins was studied between January and April 2002 through shorebased theodolite tracking in order to investigate the environmental and behavioural determinants of habitat use, and to evaluate the interactions between this species and aquaculture activities in Yaldad Bay, southern Chile. During 293.5 h of effort, move
