1. Composition, density and biomass of fish community from the surf zone as a function of the lunar cycle at Miramar Beach in Cabedelo, Paraíba
RESUMO A influência das fases lunares sobre a ictiofauna tem sido pouco estudada na zona de arrebentação. Nesse estudo, foram avaliadas, o número de espécies, densidade e a biomassa da ictiofauna em função da lua. Foram capturadas 49 espécies distribuídas em 24 famílias em duas áreas na Praia de Miramar. A densidade foi significativamente elevada

2. Effects of moonlight on the capturability of frugivorous phyllostomid bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) at different time scales
Some bat species seem to be lunar phobic, i.e., they avoid flying in bright areas or during bright periods of the night; however, the evidence is still controversial. We think that part of this controversy comes from pooling data on bat captures and moonlight intensity according to broad categories, such as moon phases, which conceal the high variability amo

3. Maré lunar observada com radar meteórico em três latitudes no Brasil / Lunar tide observed with meteor radar at three latitudes in Brazil
Using meteor radar data from three Brazilian sites [São João do Cariri (7.4° S ; 36.5° W), Cachoeira Paulista (22.7° S; 45.0° W) and Santa Maria (29.7° S; 53.8° W)], the atmospheric semidiurnal lunar tide in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere was studied from January 2005 to December 2008. Monthly tidal amplitudes and phases were determined using

4. Reproductive biology in the starfish Echinaster (Othilia) guyanensis (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in southeastern Brazil
Echinaster (Othilia) guyanensis Clark, 1987 is an endangered starfish distributed throughout the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. Even though it has been extensively harvested, little is known about the biology and ecology of this starfish. Here, we examine reproduction seasonality in E. (O.) guyanensis. Individuals were collected monthly for one year, includin

5. Influências do meio ambiente no parto / Environment influences on childbirth
Introdução: As influências lunares e ambientais no início do trabalho de parto ainda são pouco estudadas. Foi avaliada a influência extrínseca em eventos obstétricos. Métodos: em um hospital secundário, situado na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil, foram selecionados 1.826 dias em que ocorreram 17.417 partos. As internações por o trabalho de parto for

6. Phlebotominae species (Diptera: Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) of Fazenda São José, district of Carmo, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. / Espécies de Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) da Fazenda São José, Município de Carmo, Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
In this research, the flebotomineos of ecology and biology aspects of Fazenda São Jose, district of Carmo, situated 118km from the capital of Rio de Janeiro State were studied. The place, which worked as logistic support for the implementation of this research, was the house where the autochthonous human case of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis occurred. During two

7. Moonlight and blood-feeding behaviour of Lutzomyia intermedia and Lutzomyia whitmani (Diptera:Psychodidae:Phlebotominae), vectors of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil
Lutzomyia intermedia (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) and L. whitmani (Antunes & Coutinho, 1939) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae), two important vectors of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil, occur in sympatry in the locality of Posse county, Petrópolis municipality, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We investigated the influence of the lunar cycle on the f

8. Larvas de peixes e invertebrados planctÃnicos coletados com um novo modelo de armadilha de luz: Bahia de Tamandarà - PE
Larval fish and a great number of other planktonic organisms, display photobehavioral characteristics which make possible the use of artificial li-t to attract and capture them. The concept of light traps is not a new concept, and it has been used for a long time by entomologists and limnologists, but introduced to stud reef enviroment by Doherty in 1987. Th

9. Influência do ciclo lunar na atividade de vôo de Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) venezuelensis (Theobald) (Diptera, Culicidae) na Mata Atlântica, Serra do Marumbi, Morretes, Paraná, Brasil
From October 1995 to January 1996 a survey of the culicid species mentioned above was carried out in a restrict Atlantic Forest area, located in the Marumbi mountain (approximately 6,5 km from the town of Morretes). Shannon light trap was used during 48 nights, in the four lunar phases: full moon, first quarter, new moon and last quarter between evening and

10. Influência do ciclo lunar na captura de Aedes scapularis (Diptera, Culicidae) na Mata Atlântica do Paraná
From October 1995 to January 1996 Aedes (Ochlerotatus) scapularis (Rondani, 1948) was studied in a small area of the Atlantic Forest, Serra do Marumbi, Morretes, Paraná, Brazil. Adults were captured with Shannon light traps for 48 nights, representing 12 nights for seven time intervals. Traps were operated from dusk to dawn. The influences on flight activit

11. Space weathering on airless planetary bodies: Clues from the lunar mineral hapkeite
Physical and chemical reactions occurring as a result of the high-velocity impacts of meteorites and micrometeorites and of cosmic rays and solar-wind particles are major causes of space weathering on airless planetary bodies, such as the Moon, Mercury, and asteroids. These weathering processes are responsible for the formation of their regolith and soil. We

12. Expression of Circaseptan and Circannual Rhythmicity in the Imbibition of Dry Stored Bean Seeds
Water uptake of seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Limburg was monitored in a controlled atmosphere every day at solar noon for a period of 2 years. The imbibition rate, determined as the mean of five replicas, was related to the lunar cycle, maximal water uptake occurring between the new phases of the cycle. The monthly mean value of imbibition rate, calcula
