1. Pollen sources used by Frieseomelitta Ihering 1912 (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) bees along the course of the Rio Negro, Amazonas, Brazil
ABSTRACT Insect pollination has influenced the evolution and diversification of angiosperms. Consequently, knowing plants used as food sources by bees, the most important pollinator group, is the first step toward understanding how their ecological relationships works. Pollen source information is also highly relevant for bee management and associated fruit

2. Nesting biology of three Megachile (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) species from Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
Abstract Megachile Latreille is a conspicuous genus of solitary bees distributed worldwide. However, the biology of tropical species is still little known. We present data on biology of Megachile brasiliensis Data Torre, Megachile sejuncta Cockerell and Megachile stilbonotaspis Moure found in two remnants of eastern Amazonian forest in northeastern Brazil. T

3. Temporal differences in breeding site use between tits and mice
ABSTRACT Describing the interactions among cavity breeders is key to understanding their breeding ecology. In this study the temporal difference in cavity use between the great tit, Parus major (Linnaeus, 1758) and the small Japanese field mice, Apodemus argenteus (Temminck, 1845) is investigated, as a first step for clarifying the interaction between bird a

4. The ant fauna of hospitals: advancements in public health and research priorities in Brazil
Ants inhabit several types of natural and urban habitats, where they successfully nest. In urban environments, the hospitals should be considered priority for studies, as ants pose risks to human health due to their pathogen carrying potential. We aimed at surveying the literature about studies on ants in hospital settings in Brazil in the past 20 years. We

5. Diversity and aspects of the ecology of social wasps (Vespidae, Polistinae) in Central Amazonian "terra firme" forest
Diversity and aspects of the ecology of social wasps (Vespidae, Polistinae) in Central Amazonian "terra firme" forest. The knowledge of social wasp richness and biology in the Amazonian region is considered insufficient. Although the Amazonas state is the largest in the region, until now only two brief surveys were conducted there. Considering that the syste

6. Caracterização do parasitismo por Ornithodoros brasiliensis (Chelicerata: Argasidae) e da toxicose induzida em humanos e animais
Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods distributed worldwide and able to parasitize almost all terrestrial vertebrate animals. Ticks are considered a great hazard for both public health and animal breeding due to their ability to transmit infectious diseases and to induce direct toxic effects leading to clinical disturbances. Ornithodoros brasiliensis, popularly

7. Ecology, behavior and natural history of the harvester ant Pogonomyrmex naegelii (Formicidae, Myrmicinae) in cerrado vegetation: activity schedule, diet, home range, nest structure and demography / Ecologia, comportamento e história natural da formiga ceifeira Pogonomyrmex naegelii (Formicidae, Myrmicinae) em cerrado : ritmo biológico, dieta, área de vida, estrutura e demografia dos ninhos
Pogonomyrmex naegelii belongs to the group known as harvester ants, which collects and stores seeds in underground chambers for later consumption. These ants can be found in both warm temperate and tropical regions around the world, especially in areas of semiarid to arid vegetation, although they may also be found in moist habitats. The following study prov

8. Estrutura populacional e alometria reprodutiva de Podocnemis expansa (Testudines, Podocnemididae) no entorno do Parque Nacional do Araguaia, Tocantins / Population structure and reproductive allometry of Podocnemis expansa (Testudines, Podocnemididae) around the Parque Nacional do Araguaia, Tocantins
Among the reptiles found in the Amazon, the turtles stand out because of its diversity and economic importance. Podocnemis expansa, popularly known as Amazon river turtle, is considered the largest freshwater turtle in South America and has been heavily exploited for centuries by many indigenous and riverine communities. This study aimed to expand the knowle

9. Reproductive ecology of two species of Leptodactylus and the evolution of morphological, behavioural and ecological characters in the L. pentadactylus species group (Anura, Leptodactylidae) / Ecologia reprodutiva de duas espécies de Leptodactylus e a evolução de caracteres morfológicos, comportamentais e ecológicos no grupo de L. pentadactylus (Anura, Leptodactylidae)
Historical Ecology unifies concepts in ecology, behavior and phylogeny. To determine the evolutionary context of reproductive characters within the Leptodactylus pentadactylus species group and also to explore questions such as predation and habitat selection, I described the reproductive ecology of two key species, L. labyrinthicus and L. syphax) (Anura, Le

10. Reconhecimento parental em abelhas eussociais Neotropicais (Hymenoptera: Apinae, Meliponini): uma análise dos mediadores químicos e seus determinantes em Frieseomelitta varia / Kin recognition in neotropical eusoccial bees (hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini): analysis of chemical mediators and its determinants for Frieseomelitta varia
The ability to discriminate among genetic related individuals has a main importance in the Kin selection Hamiltons theory. Social insects use odor cues in recognition systems, and the main used cues are compounds present in their cuticle. These cues may originate from endogenous and exogenous sources. The exogenous cues may be absorbed from nest materials, f

11. Ecologia reprodutiva de Dyckia encholirioides var. encholirioides (GAUD) Mez. (Bromeliaceae) em costões oceânicos em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina
The aim of this study was to describe and characterize the reproductive ecology of Dyckia encholirioides var. (Gaud) Mez. encholirioides, in Florianópolis, SC. The flowering occurs from the end of the winter until spring. The duration of the flowering in a single individual averaged 23 days. The anthesis of the flowers occurred along the day and presented a

12. Aspectos da ecologia reprodutiva de Podocnemis expansa, Podocnemis sextuberculata e Podocnemis unifilis (Testudines, Podocnemididae) na Reserva Biológica do Abufari, Amazonas, Brasil.
The present dissertation investigated about behavior microhabitat selection by tartaruga (Podocnemis expansa), iaçá (P. sextuberculata) and tracajá (P. unifilis) in Abufari Biological Reserve, Amazonas. Were monitored the turtles reproductive periods (August - December) of the 1998-2004 years. The first specie at nesting was iaçá, after tartaruga and la
