1. Tool use in urban populations of capuchin monkeys Sapajus spp. (Primates: Cebidae)
Capuchin monkeys, Sapajus Kerr, 1792, are known for their flexible behavior, including tool use, and their ability to survive in urban forests. We observed capuchin juveniles using wood as hammer and anvil and different materials as sponges (four tool-use events) in two geographically distinct urban populations in Brazil, in 2012: two in Goiânia, Central Br

2. Interação entre humanos e macacos-prego Cebus libidinosus Spix, 1823 sob a influência de ambientes antropizados / Interaction betweeen humans and capuchin monkeys Cebus libidinosus Spix, 1823 and under the influence of anthropic environments
Macacos-prego são detentores de um forte poder cognitivo, o que resulta em uma alta flexibilidade comportamental. Essa característica contribui para sua adaptação aos mais diversos locais e situações. Neste estudo, procuramos testar se o repertório comportamental dos macacos-prego é modulado em função da presença de predadores/competidores, das ca

4. Efeitos de dois programas de exercícios físicos nas capacidades funcionais e estruturas cerebrais de idosas / Effects of two physical exercise programs in motor capacities and brain structures of elderly women
Although the diminishing in the motor abilities is inevitable along the aging process, the tendency of this decrease may be reduced when physical exercise is used as an intervention. These interventions, in general, include the repetition of movements which are cyclical and have low complexity, aiming to increase physiological efficiency of the practitioners

5. O papel das rotas e da obtenção de informações sobre a eficiência no forrageio de dinoponera quadriceps em ambiente natural
In this study, we investigated the role of routes and information attainment for the queenless ant species Dinoponera quadriceps foraging efficiency. Two queenless ant colonies were observed in an area of Atlantic secondary Forest at the FLONA-ICMBio of Nisia Floresta, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil, at least once a week. In the fir

6. Primates cognitive maps: analysis of movements and routes of Cebus nigritus based on geographic information system / Mapas cognitivos de primatas: análise de movimentos e rotas de Cebus nigritus apoiada por sistemas de informação geográfica
Capuchin monkeys are remarkable for their flexible foraging behavior, occupying environments with diverse characteristics, and, because of these elements they have the largest geographic distribution among the New World primates. They have skills such as tool use and spatial recognition of their home range when searching for food, relying on both egocentric

7. Oviposition behavior in wild Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) (Diptera: Tephritidae): initial study of associative learning related to a protein source
In associative learning, experience enables an animal to associate a conditioned stimulus with some other meaningful stimulus producing either positive or negative effects. In this way, on a subsequent encounter, the response that was previously elicited only by the meaningful stimulus is then elicited by the conditioned stimulus as well. The aim of the pres

8. COMPORTAMENTO DE PEQUENOS FELINOS NEOTROPICAIS EM CATIVEIRO
The lack of information concerning the small neotropical felids can be related to their predominant nocturnal activity, use of dense vegetation and hunting that threats natural populations. Therefore, research with captive animals may supply essential information for the development of effective conservation plans and strategies. The aim of this work was to

9. Aspectos do envelhecimento cerebral e função cognitiva em modelo experimental animal e estudo de mecanismos de neurodegeneração em cultura celular
The two phenomena, biological and behavioural, approached in the present work are brain aging and spatial memory. Several studies, comparative and experimental, have shown that aged subjects present significantly impaired performances in different types of cognitive tasks. It is also known that contradictions in literature exist in relation to consequences o

10. Estudo sobre orçamento de atividade do Boto Cinza (Sotalia guianensis) no litoral sul do Rio Grande do Norte
A fundamental analysis on Behavioral Ecology is the construction of Activities Budget, which can be defined as the quantification of the time that each animal uses in activities that are important for its survival and reproduction. Initially developed for theoretical studies about Optimal Foraging, the construction of Activities Budgets has recently being us

11. Padrão de atividades do sagüi callithrix jacchus numa área de caatinga
Callithrix jacchus, as the other species in the family Callitrichidae, lives in social groups. The groups cam be found in different habitats, whose distinct floristic physiognomies and communities are intrinsically related to their behavioral ecology and social relations. Our objective was to describe the social relations and feeding behavior of Callithrix j

12. Características determinadas do envolvimento materno no tratamento fisioterapêutico de crianças portadoras de deficiência
The technological scientific advances have led to the increase in survival of children with disorders derived from pre-natal, peri-natal and post-natal periods. However, this survival has been added by the predominance of physical, sensorial, cognitive and behavioral sequels in this population. The insufficiency in children interferes markedly in the mother-
