1. Reproductive and feeding biology of the common lancehead Bothrops atrox (Serpentes, Viperidae) from central and southwestern Brazilian Amazonia
RESUMO A jararaca Bothrops atrox é uma serpente de ampla distribuição e de importância médica na Amazônia. Visto que a biologia reprodutiva e alimentar de serpentes varia geograficamente, nosso objetivo foi o de caracterizar a história natural de indivíduos provenientes das porções central e sudoeste do bioma no Brasil. Analisamos espécimes preser

2. Highlights in the knowledge of brown spider toxins
Abstract Brown spiders are venomous arthropods that use their venom for predation and defense. In humans, bites of these animals provoke injuries including dermonecrosis with gravitational spread of lesions, hematological abnormalities and impaired renal function. The signs and symptoms observed following a brown spider bite are called loxoscelism. Brown spi

3. What can we learn from confusing Olivella columellaris and O. semistriata (Olivellidae, Gastropoda), two key species in panamic sandy beach ecosystems?
Olivella columellaris (Sowerby 1825) and O. semistriata (Gray 1839) are suspension-feeding, swash-surfing snails on tropical sandy beaches of the east Pacific. While they often are the numerically dominant macrofaunal element in their habitats, their biology is poorly understood; the two species actually have been confused in all of the few publications that

4. Interação trófica entre Podisus nigrispinus e Supputius cincticeps (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) / Trophic interaction between Podisus nigrispinus and Supputius cincticeps (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
Prey may be more or less consumed by control biologic agents and presents three kinds of interspecific interactions, (1) synergism, increase of mortality of prey comparing to each natural enemy independently, when the foraging of one species facilitates the capture of pest by another natural enemies. (2) Total mortality of the pest to natural enemies equals

5. Ecologia e Conservação de Tartarugas Marinhas Através da Análise de Encalhes no Litoral Paraibano
Five sea turtle species use the Brazilian coast for reproduction and feeding: loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), olive turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) and hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). These species are included in the threatened categories, as much globally, according to

6. Predação de sementes em Erythrina falcata Benth. Fabaceae Faboideae: Biologia dos insetos predadores e estratégias de compensação da planta / Seed predation in Erythrina falcata Benth. Fabaceae - Faboideae: Biology of insect predators and plant compensation strategies
A produção de sementes é um importante estágio na história de vida das plantas, pois são estas as estruturas responsáveis pela reposição de indivíduos e também expansão e perpetuação das populações, funcionando também como meio de dispersão para colonização de áreas distantes de uma população. A Predação de sementes exercida por inse

7. Breeding biology and reproductive success of Polystictus superciliaris (Aves: Tyrannidae), an uncommon tyrant-flycatcher endemic to the highlands of eastern Brazil
Polystictus superciliaris (Wied, 1831) is a small tyrant-flycatcher endemic to mountaintops in the highlands of eastern Brazil. In this paper we present the first description of the breeding biology of P. superciliaris and estimate its reproductive success from a population inhabiting rocky outcrops. This study was conducted during 2005 in the Parque Estadua

8. Seasonal and spatial differences in feeding habits of the Neotropical otter Lontra longicaudis (Carnivora: Mustelidae) in a coastal catchment of southeastern Brazil
The diet of the Neotropical otter Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818) is one of the best known aspects of its biology throughout its distribution range. However, most dietary studies have been undertaken during short time periods, making it difficult to identify temporal patterns in the feeding behavior of the species. The present study aimed to describe the d

9. Bioecologia de Spodoptera frugiperda e de seus parasitóides de ovos Telenomus remus, Trichogramma atopovirilia e T. pretiosum / Bioecology of Spodoptera frugiperda and of its egg parasitoids Telenomus remus, Trichogramma atopovirilia and T. pretiosum
Os seres vivos estão constantemente influenciando e sendo influenciados pelo meio ambiente. Esta interação pode afetar diretamente o comportamento e a sobrevivência destes seres vivos, incluindo os insetos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever os efeitos de fatores bióticos e abióticos sobre o comportamento e sobrevivência de Spodoptera frugiperda

10. Interações entre o predador Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) e o parasitóide Palmistichus elaeisis (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) / Interactions among the predator Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
The use of more than one natural enemy for pests control can increase the efficiency of the biological control, mainly, when those organisms act on different apprenticeships of the pests. The diversification of the beneficial fauna can reduce the population of herbivores and the disturbance of the ecosystems, increasing the local stability. The objective was

Ants are one of the most prominent groups of terrestrial organisms in terms of diversity, relative abundance and biomass. Their importance is due primarily to eusocial behavior combined with complex communication systems. Tropical foliage is rich in renewable feeding sources that promote ant foraging. As some of the most important predators on plants, ants s

12. Dinâmica populacional de Appendicularia e Cladorera na plataforma interna de Ubatuba(SP): um estudo sazonal e multianual / Appendicularia and Cladocera population dynamics on the inner shelf off Ubatuba (SP): a seasonal and multiannual study
This work aimed to evaluate the population dynamics of cladocerans and appendicularians at a fixed station off Ubatuba (state of São Paulo, Brazil). Zooplankton samples were monthly collected, from July 2005 through December 2008, with a 200 ?m mesh net. Appendicularians and cladocerans were identified, classified into stages, counted and measured. Both tax
