1. Disruptive coloration and habitat use by seahorses
RESUMO Evitar a predação é um dos principais fatores que influenciam a sobrevivência. Portanto, qualquer traço que afete o risco de predação, como a camuflagem, deverá estar sob forte pressão de seleção. Confundir-se com a cor do fundo (homocromia) limita o uso do habitat, especialmente se ele é heterogêneo. Outro mecanismo de camuflagem é a co

2. Microhabitat preferences of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium jelskii (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)
RESUMO Nós analisamos as preferências de micro-habitat de machos e fêmeas de Macrobrachium jelskii (Miers, 1877) em um açude urbano em Cruz das Almas, Bahia, Brasil. As amostras foram coletadas mensalmente, de março de 2015 a fevereiro de 2016, com o auxílio de uma peneira em três diferentes micro-habitats. Cada micro-habitat teve predomínio de uma e

3. Socio-economic and spatial determinants of anthropogenic predation on Yellow-spotted River Turtle, Podocnemis unifilis (Testudines: Pelomedusidae), nests in the Brazilian Amazon: Implications for sustainable conservation and management
Human expansion has drastically affected wildlife species across Amazonian waterways and the continued increase in rural populations across Amazonia is likely to increase pressure on widely exploited chelonian species. The lack of information evaluating determinants of human consumption patterns limits the effective implementation of conservation strategies.

4. Indirect evidence of predation and intraspecific agression in three sympatric lizard species from a semi-arid area in northeastern Brazil
We analyzed the frequency of tail autotomy, toe amputation and integument scars in three sympatric lizard species, Ameivula ocellifera, Tropidurus hispidus and T. semitaeniatus, from a Neotropical area of semi-arid Caatinga, in northeastern Brazil. We evaluated intraspecific differences in the frequency of injuries between the sexes within each species. Only

5. What can we learn from confusing Olivella columellaris and O. semistriata (Olivellidae, Gastropoda), two key species in panamic sandy beach ecosystems?
Olivella columellaris (Sowerby 1825) and O. semistriata (Gray 1839) are suspension-feeding, swash-surfing snails on tropical sandy beaches of the east Pacific. While they often are the numerically dominant macrofaunal element in their habitats, their biology is poorly understood; the two species actually have been confused in all of the few publications that

6. Zooplankton of an urban coastal lagoon: composition and association with environmental factors and summer fish kill
Zooplankton may be regarded as a sensitive tool for monitoring environmental variations in coastal lagoons due to their ability to immediately react to changes in the water column trophic features and salinity levels. As a coastal lagoon with a broad history of anthropic influence, Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is widely used for water s

7. Sex-dependent foraging effort and vigilance in coal-crested finches, Charitospiza eucosma (Aves: Emberizidae) during the breeding season: evidence of female-biased predation?
Sexual dimorphism in birds is often attributed to sexual selection, but another interpretation suggests the evolution of this phenomenon by natural selection. Predation may be an important selective pressure, acting mainly on females. In this study, I tested the latter hypothesis on the coal-crested finch (Charitospiza eucosma Oberholser, 1905) in a neotropi

8. Pressão de predação sobre a lagartixa-de-areia liolaemus lutzae MERTENS, 1938 (Liolaemidae), introduzida experimentalmente na Praia das Neves, Espírito Santo. / Predation pressure on sand-dune lizard Liolaemus lutzae MERTENS, 1938 (Liolaemidae), introduced experimentally in Praia das Neves, Espírito Santo.
Liolaemus lutzae é um pequeno lagarto da família Liolaemidae endêmico das restingas do estado do Rio de Janeiro, distribuindo-se da restinga da Marambaia até Cabo Frio. Ocupa um habitat restrito, a areia da praia, habitat este muito ameaçado por pressões antrópicas, e que levou a espécie a ser inserida na lista vermelha de animais ameaçados de extin

9. Dinâmica populacional de Appendicularia e Cladorera na plataforma interna de Ubatuba(SP): um estudo sazonal e multianual / Appendicularia and Cladocera population dynamics on the inner shelf off Ubatuba (SP): a seasonal and multiannual study
This work aimed to evaluate the population dynamics of cladocerans and appendicularians at a fixed station off Ubatuba (state of São Paulo, Brazil). Zooplankton samples were monthly collected, from July 2005 through December 2008, with a 200 ?m mesh net. Appendicularians and cladocerans were identified, classified into stages, counted and measured. Both tax

10. Mamíferos de médio e grande porte em uma área alterada no cerrado : estrutura da comunidade, sobreposição de nicho e densidade
Medium and large sized mammals in a disturbed area in the Cerrado: community structure, niche overlap and density. Medium and large sized mammals are affected by fragmentation and habitat changes, and in Cerrado this group corresponds to species preferentially nocturnal, generalist in habitat use and with scarce information about density in modified environm

11. Ecologia das interações entre Udranomia spitzi (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae) e formigas tendo como hospedeira Ouratea spectabilis (Ochnaceae) em um cerrado mineiro / Ecology of interactions between Udranomia spitzi (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae) and ants on Ouratea spectabilis (Ochnaceae) in a savanna from Minas Gerais state, Brazil
Studies in multitrophic systems can serve as tools to investigate the structure and organization of ecological communities. Because it is a biome rich in multitrophic interactions, the Cerrado (tropical savanna) is a good model for the study of insect-plant interactions. Udranomia spitzi (Hesperiidae) is an endemic butterfly from Cerrado. In the immature sta

12. The role of Asterina stellifera (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) as a predator in a rocky intertidal community in southern Brazil
Populations of Asterina stellifera Möbius, 1859 are declining in southern Brazil and today the species is on the Brazilian list of endangered species. Here we experimentally investigate the ecological role played by A. stellifera as a predator on the rocky substrate community by increasing densities of this species. Starfish taken from other, nearby, locati
