1. Food resource partitioning among species of Astyanax (Characiformes: Characidae) in the Lower Iguaçu River and tributaries, Brazil
RESUMO O particionamento de recursos permite a coexistência interespecífica e é frequentemente relatado para espécies semelhantes. Predizemos a existência de partição de recursos entre espécies de Astyanax que co-ocorrem no baixo rio Iguaçu. O total de 848 estômagos de cinco espécies de Astyanax foi analisado. Algas, plantas terrestres e frutos/se

2. Changes in trophic characteristics of two fish species of Astyanax (Teleostei: Characidae) in response to aquatic pollution
ABSTRACT The trophic plasticity of most fish species of Astyanax Baird & Girard, 1854 in response to environmental changes and resource availability is high. This work evaluates the differences in the trophic characteristics of two congeneric species, Astyanax taeniatus (Jenyns, 1842) and Astyanax lacustris (Lütken, 1875), in Rio das Velhas Basin, which is

3. Diet and resource sharing by two Pimelodidae species in a Southeastern Brazilian reservoir
Resumo: Os peixes podem variar suas dietas e dinâmicas alimentares de acordo com fatores bióticos e abióticos. O conhecimento insuficiente desses fatores em reservatórios limita o manejo dessas áreas. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a dieta de duas espécies de peixes aparentados e mais coletados; verificar a influência de fatores bióticos e ab

4. 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

5. Comparative analysis of diet composition and its relation to morphological characteristics in juvenile fish of three lutjanid species in a Mexican Pacific coastal lagoon
ABSTRACT The main goal of this research was to investigate the differences in diet composition among three species of the genus Lutjanus inhabiting a coastal lagoon as juveniles. The working hypothesis was that these species feed on a common base of food resources and therefore, some niche overlap is present in terms of general diet composition. However, cha

6. The trophic niche of Mesoclemmys vanderhaegei (Testudines: Chelidae): evidence from stable isotopes
ABSTRACT Ecological niche is the multidimensional space comprising the resources used by an organism. Intraspecific variation in resource exploitation is common in reptile populations to maximize coexistence of individuals. The use of stable isotope analysis is an effective tool when there are variations in resource exploitation, since it can provide quantit

7. The influence of natural clay and organoclay vermiculite on the formation process of bionanocomposites with poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)
ABSTRACT During the last decades, a lot of research work focused on several biodegradable and biosourced polyesters for the purpose of reducing the non-degradable polymer wastes. These polyesters are particularly considered to be promising polymers for biomedical applications and short life-time products like packaging. As these packagings are rapidly discar

8. Hábitos alimenticios de poblaciones periféricas de Zaedyus pichiy y Chaetophractus villosus (Cingulata, Chlamyphoridae) en la Patagonia chilena
ABSTRACT In Chile the armadillos Zaedyus pichiy (Desmarest, 1804) and Chaetophractus villosus (Desmarest, 1804) have peripheral populations restricted to steppes and plains near western slopes of the Andes, being also inadequately studied. We present information on feeding habits of both species by analysis of feces obtained in two study areas of Aysén dist

9. Medicinal plants in the diet of woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides, E. Geoffroy, 1806) – a bio-rational for the search of new medicines for human use?
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to compare the plant food diet of woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides) inhabiting Intervales State Park in São Paulo, Brazil, with medicinal plant species used by humans in the surrounding areas of the park. The diet of a group of woolly spider monkeys living in an Atlantic forest area was recorded during 43 month

10. The partitioning of food resources between two rodents in the subtropical region of southern Brazil
ABSTRACT The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) and nutria (Myocastor coypus) are herbivorous semi-aquatic rodents. Although these rodents occur in sympatry in southern South America, little is known about how the two species interact in relationship to food resources. In this context, the aim of this study was to analyze the food resource overlap, the fee

11. DIET OF DENDROPSOPHUS MICROCEPHALUS AND SCARTHYLA VIGILANS (ANURA: HYLIDAE) AT A LOCALITY IN NORTH-WESTERN VENEZUELA WITH NOTES ON MICROHABITAT OCCUPATION
ABSTRACT The coexistence of species with similar ecological requirements (food, space, time) has typically drawn attention of researchers because competition for resources is expected to be high. The diet and microhabitat occupation of two morphologically and ecologically similar species of Hylidae (Anura), Dendropsophus microcephalus and Scarthyla vigilans,

12. Use of food resources and resource partitioning among five syntopic species of Hypostomus (Teleostei: Loricariidae) in an Atlantic Forest river in southern Brazil
ABSTRACT We analyzed the diet and resource partitioning among five syntopic species of Hypostomus Lacépède, 1803 in the Corumbataí River in southeastern Brazil. The gut contents of 352 individuals were assessed and 21 food items were identified and quantified under an optical microscope. The food items found in the gut contents indicate that these suckerm
