1. Flowering and pollination ecology of Cleistocactus baumannii (Cactaceae) in the Brazilian Chaco: pollinator dependence and floral larceny
ABSTRACT Cleistocactus baumannii is the only ornithophilous cactus species in the Brazilian Chaco. In addition, this species of Cactaceae invests heavily in flowering in the ecoregion. Such characteristics motivated us to evaluate the temporal availability of flowers in the context of its floral visitors. The reproductive system of C. baumannii, the number o

2. Reproductive physiology of the heat-stressed dairy cow: implications for fertility and assisted reproduction
Abstract Heat stress causes a large decline in pregnancy success per insemination during warm times of the year. Improvements in fertility are possible by exploiting knowledge about how heat stress affects the reproductive process. The oocyte can be damaged by heat stress at the earliest stages of folliculogenesis and remains sensitive to heat stress in the

3. DNA methylation, environmental exposures and early embryo development
Abstract The first crucial step in the developmental program occurs during pre-implantation, the time after the oocyte has been fertilized and before the embryo implants in the uterus. This period represents a vulnerable window as the epigenome undergoes dynamic changes in DNA methylation profiles. Alterations in the early embryonic reprogramming wave can im

4. Functional patterns of tree communities in natural Araucaria forests and old monoculture conifer plantations
ABSTRACT A functional perspective of tree communities is helpful for understanding forest dynamics, especially vegetation recovery after other land uses. Knowledge about ecological filters and survival strategies of trees are also important for the restoration of degraded areas. This study aimed to evaluate the functional composition and structure of adult a

5. Cytotaxonomy of Dipetalogaster maxima Uhler, 1894 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)
Resumo A tribo Triatomini consiste em dez gêneros e é considerada uma das tribos mais importantes do ponto de vista epidemiológico. O gênero Dipetalogaster Usinger, 1939 é composto apenas pela espécie Dipetalogaster maxima Uhler, 1894. Este triatomíneo é exclusivo do México e é um vetor potencial da doença de Chagas. Além da importância epidemio

6. Special offer while stocks last: high-energy pulse of nectar caused by a massive post-fire flowering of Sinningia elatior (Gesneriaceae) in an area of Cerrado and implications for its pollination
Resumo A intensa floração pós-fogo de Sinningia elatior (Gesneriaceae) foi estudada em uma área de Cerrado. Para estudar o sistema reprodutivo, testes de polinização foram realizados no campo. Espécimes de S. elatior foram encontrados isolados ou agrupados na área de estudo, as flores são tubulares, alaranjadas/avermelhadas e desprovidas de odor. Ap

7. Contrasting life-histories in two syntopic amphibians of the Leptodactylus fuscus group (Heyer 1978)
Abstract Abstract: We used skeletochronology to compare age, size, reproductive parameters and growth patterns of two related, anuran amphibians from Northern Argentina: Leptodactylus bufonius(n=69) andL. latinasus(n=56), in order to better understand their coexistence in syntopy. Previous studies showed that the two species overlap in their dietary requirem

8. Genetic evidence of multiple reproductive strategies in a microendemic and threatened cactus (Cactaceae: Discocactus Pfeiff) in Bahia, Brazil
ABSTRACT Discocactus zehntneri subsp. petr-halfari, an endangered taxon, is represented by a single population in an anthropized area of Bahia, Brazil, where it is suffering due to extreme extractivism. Thus, information about this cactus, such as its reproductive patterns, is urgently needed to support conservation strategies. A population genetics approach

9. Sexual dimorphism in the catfish Genidens genidens (Siluriformes: Ariidae) based on otolith morphometry and relative growth
RESUMO Genidens genidens é uma espécie suscetível a declínios populacionais, tendo em vista as peculiaridades de sua reprodução. Diferenças morfométricas entre os sexos são observadas na literatura, e essas diferenças também devem ser evidentes no desenvolvimento dos otólitos. O padrão de crescimento é uma das características biológicas mais

10. On the occurrence and ecology of Glaucus atlanticus Forster, 1777 (Mollusca: Nudibranchia) along the Southwestern Atlantic coast
Abstract: Unlike the majority of the nudibranchs, Glaucidae lives adrift at the sea surface within Tropical and Subtropical ocean basins, feeding on cnidarians or using them to attach their egg strings as a reproductive strategy. The latitudinal distribution of Glaucus atlanticus throughout the Brazilian Province is influenced by the Brazil current and, in i

11. Phenological study of populations of Cnidoscolus quercifolius in the Western Seridó, Paraiba state, Brazil
Resumo Padrões fenológicos de duas populações de Cnidoscolus quercifolius foram avaliados em área de caatinga no Seridó Ocidental, estado da Paraíba, Brasil, no período de março de 2009 a fevereiro de 2011, com dados coletados mensalmente. As avaliações abordaram uma análise quantitativa dos índices de atividade em períodos vegetativo (brotamen

12. Assisted reproductive technology: prevalence and associated factors in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of successful assisted reproductive technology and to identify the associated factors. METHODS: This population-based birth cohort study was carried out with 4,333 pregnant women expected to deliver in 2015 in the urban area of Pelotas, Southern Brazil. Use of an assisted reproductive technology procedure, type
