1. Effect of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations on individual-level diet variation of Hylaeamys megacephalus (G. Fisher 1814) (Rodentia, Cricetidae) in eastern Amazon Forest
Resumo: Neste estudo nós descrevemos a dieta de Hylaeamys megacephalus (G. Fisher, 1814) e investigamos o grau de variação individual na dieta desta espécie entre os hábitats de Floresta Amazônica e Plantação de Palmeira de Dendê. Analisamos o conteúdo estomacal de 36 indivíduos, dos quais 11 foram coletados na floresta e 25 capturados na plantaç

2. Guidance on Healthy Eating Habits from the Medical Student’s Perspective
RESUMO The rising number of students leagues in the Escola Paulista de Medicina of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo (EPM–Unifesp) leads to questions about their meaning to students and their role in medical training, as well as concerns about learning distortions, early specialization, social relevance, and insertion in the Brazilian national health

3. The feeding habits of the eyespot skate Atlantoraja cyclophora (Elasmobranchii: Rajiformes) in southeastern Brazil
The stomach contents of the eyespot skate, Atlantoraja cyclophora (Regan, 1903), were examined with the goal to provide information about the diet of the species. Samples were collected off the southern coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, near Ilha Grande, between January 2006 and August 2007, at a depth of about 60 m. The diet was analyzed by sex, maturity sta

4. Feeding ecology of stream-dwelling Characidae (Osteichthyes: Characiformes) from the upper Tocantins River, Brazil
In this contribution we studied the trophic ecology of four Characidae species from the Cavalo Stream, upper Tocantins River, considering diet overlap and trophic niche breadth. The diet of the four species was composed of adult and immature insects, both autochthonous and allochthonous in origin. Autochthonous items dominated the diet of Moenkhausia dichrou

5. Organização trófica da comunidade de peixes de poças de maré da Praia dos Castelhanos (ES), Atlântico sudoeste tropical / Trophic organization of the tidepool fish community of Praia dos Castelhanos (ES), southwestern tropical Atlantic
The identification of the trophic groups is fundamental to understanding the factors responsible for organizing and structuring the communities. Accordingly, the present study was conducted in the tidepools of Praia dos Castelhanos, located in the Espírito Santo State, southeastern Brazil, in order to describe the trophic organization of the fish community,

6. Ecologia alimentar da toninha Pontoporia blainvillei (Cetacea) / Feeding ecology of franciscana dolphin Pontoporia blainvillei (Cetacea)
Ecological niche theory is originally based on the assumption that individuals of a species use similar resources and therefore are ecologically equivalents. Under this framework, the niche of the species can be defined in terms of average resource use. However, factors such as quality and quantity of prey resources in the environment, consumer gender, age o

7. Ecologia trófica e ecomorfologia da ictiofauna de igarapés maranhenses
The trophic ecology is one of the most important aspects to understand the role of a species in the community and in the ecosystem functioning. Studies regarding the feeding of fishes coupled to the ecomorphology of a species become important tools in understanding their ecological role and position in the environment. The present study aimed to analyze the

8. Ecologia trÃfica de Rhinella hoogmoedi Caramaschi e Pombal, 2006 (Anura, Bufonidae) em uma floresta Ãmida do estado do CearÃ, Brasil / Trophic ecology of Rhinella hoogmoedi Caramaschi e Pombal, 2006 (Anura, Bufonidae) in a humid forest in the State of CearÃ, Brazil.
The understanding of trophic relations among species is essential for the comprehension of their ecological evolutionary history, as well as in the understanding of how communities are structured. The consumption of the same food resource by two or more species may result in the evolution of mechanisms capable of reducing this inter- specific competition, wi

9. Orthopsittaca manilata (Boddaert, 1783) (Avian: Psittacidae): abundance and feeding activity in relation to Mauritia flexuosa (Arecaceae) palm swamp fructification in Triângulo Mineiro / Orthopsittaca manilata (Boddaert, 1783) (Aves: Psittacidae): abundância e atividade alimentar em relação à frutificação de Mauritia flexuosa L. f. (Arecaceae) numa vereda no Triângulo Mineiro
Vertebrados frugívoros são regulados pela oferta de frutos, que, usualmente, é sazonal. A arara-de-ventre-vermelho, Orthopsittaca manilata (Boddaert, 1783), é especialista em frutos Mauritia flexuosa L. f., palmeira típica de veredas do Brasil Central (Bioma Cerrado) e outros sistemas lacustres Sul-Americano (Várzeas Amazônicas, Llanos Venezuelanos e

10. Trophic niche of Tropidurus hispidus (Sauria: Tropiduridae) in restinga environment / Nicho trofico de Tropidurus hispidus (Sauria: Tropiduridae) em ambiente de restinga
The diet is one of the main atributes of the ecological niche of animal species. Generally, the individuals of a population are considered ecologically equivalent in ecological studies that focus on resource use. Nevertheless, this approach has been inadequate to correctly describe resource use by various species, as demonstrated by empirical data. Intrapopu

11. Influencia da variação fisionomica da vegetação sobre a composição de aves frugivoras na Mata Atlantica
Due to the alarming rate of deforestation in tropical forests, a better understanding on the organization of biological communities is needed, specifically regarding the interactions between birds and plants. Although this aspect is not often included among the top priorities for biodiversity conservation, it must be considered an important of effort in the

12. Multiple, recurring origins of aposematism and diet specialization in poison frogs
Aposematism is the association, in a prey organism, of the presence of a warning signal with unprofitability to predators. The origin of aposematism is puzzling, because of its predicted low probability of establishment in a population due to the prey's increased conspicuousness. Aposematism is a widespread trait in invertebrate taxa, but, in vertebrates, it
