1. Metabolization of Insecticidal Amides from Leaves of Piper tuberculatum by Heraclydes hectorides and Naupactus bipes
Amides have been recognized as potent insecticidal natural products but, despite their variety of targets and mechanisms of action, their metabolic fate in insects is virtually unknown. The currently accepted hypothesis is that specialist herbivores are capable of biotransforming xenobiotics rendering them more polar and excretable while generalist insects d

2. White sand vegetation in an Amazonian lowland under the perspective of a young geological history
Abstract: What controls the formation of patchy substrates of white sand vegetation in the Amazonian lowlands is still unclear. This research integrated the geological history and plant inventories of a white sand vegetation patch confined to one large fan-shaped sandy substrate of northern Amazonia, which is related to a megafan environment. We examined flo

3. Natural diet of Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius, 1787) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura) from the Northern Coast of São Paulo, Brazil
Abstract Decapod crustaceans have a wide variety of feeding habits, alternating among herbivory, predation, saprophagy, and filtration. The occupation of various trophic positions in the food web is a key feature in the evolution of the group. Thus, we analyzed the natural diet of the crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius, 1787), commonly known as the ghost crab

4. Native and ornamental exotic resources in pollen loads and garbage pellets of four stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini) in an urban environment with riparian native forest
Abstract: An entomopalynological study to assess pollen use by wild bees was performed in an urban environment with riparian native forest in the Chaco region of Argentina. A combined method for sampling pollen loads and garbage pellets at nest entrances in four stingless bees with different entrance size and forager traffic was here successfully used. Samp

5. Roadkilled mammals in the northern Amazon region and comparisons with roadways in other regions of Brazil
RESUMO As rodovias e o fluxo de veículos contribuem para os processos de fragmentação da paisagem e alteração do habitat natural, representando ameaça para conservação das espécies em diversos biomas. Este estudo avalia os registros de atropelamentos das espécies de mamíferos silvestres e compara este com outros 37 estudos realizados no Brasil, pa

6. Use of microhabitats affects butterfly assemblages in a rural landscape
Abstract Landscapes composed of small rural properties may support highly heterogeneous habitat, because they often cover distinct types of land uses adjacent to surrounding forest fragments. Many butterfly species may benefit from this kind of landscape, as very distinct microhabitats can be found in a very restricted spatial scale. To better understand how

7. Aquatic food webs will need to stand on giants’ shoulders
Resumo As teias tróficas têm sido impactadas especialmente nos últimos 30 anos. Isto ocorre em especial para teias tróficas com Espécies Generalistas Viajantes (MGS) que são espécies com alta mobilidade (movimento e dispersão) e flexibilidade em forrageamento e uso do habitat. Em geral, MGS são espécies de grande tamanho com habilidade de se mover

8. Wild pig (Sus scrofa L.) occupancy patterns in the Brazilian Atlantic forest
Resumo: Apesar dos grandes impactos da invasão do javali (Sus scrofa) nos ecossistemas naturais, o uso de hábitats por esta espécie nos neotrópicos ainda permanece pouco estudado. Aqui, nós investigamos os efeitos do hábitat local e de covariáveis da paisagem (tipos de vegetação, cursos d'água e estradas) sobre os padrões de ocupação do javali n

9. Reproductive and feeding biology of the common lancehead Bothrops atrox (Serpentes, Viperidae) from central and southwestern Brazilian Amazonia
RESUMO A jararaca Bothrops atrox é uma serpente de ampla distribuição e de importância médica na Amazônia. Visto que a biologia reprodutiva e alimentar de serpentes varia geograficamente, nosso objetivo foi o de caracterizar a história natural de indivíduos provenientes das porções central e sudoeste do bioma no Brasil. Analisamos espécimes preser

10. Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of an urban park in northeastern Brazil
Resumo Apesar de ser um dos grupos mais bem estudados no Brasil, as borboletas da região Nordeste, especialmente ao norte da foz do Rio São Francisco, são ainda pouco conhecidas. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um inventário da fauna de borboletas em um fragmento de Floresta Atlântica no estado de Pernambuco, como uma contribuição para compreens�

11. How are pollination and seed dispersal modes in Cerrado related to stratification? Trends in a cerrado sensu stricto woodland in southeastern Brazil, and a comparison with Neotropical forests
ABSTRACT A comprehensive census of a hectare of cerrado s.s. in southeastern Brazil, a small-tree and scrub woodland physiognomy, allowed the evaluation of whether pollination and dispersal modes are correlated with the stratification of the vegetation and if so, in what way. Generalist pollination, and pollination by small bees, as well as ornithophily and

12. Are native bees and Apis mellifera equally efficient pollinators of the rupestrian grassland daisy Aspilia jolyana (Asteraceae)?
ABSTRACT Most angiosperms rely on animals for pollination, and insects, especially bees, are being the most frequent pollinators. Many native Neotropical plants are frequently visited by the invasive honeybee (Apis mellifera), but its role in the pollination of these plants has been little investigated. We assessed the contribution of various floral visitors
