1. Disruptive coloration and habitat use by seahorses
RESUMO Evitar a predação é um dos principais fatores que influenciam a sobrevivência. Portanto, qualquer traço que afete o risco de predação, como a camuflagem, deverá estar sob forte pressão de seleção. Confundir-se com a cor do fundo (homocromia) limita o uso do habitat, especialmente se ele é heterogêneo. Outro mecanismo de camuflagem é a co

2. Intraspecific food resource partitioning in Brazilian silverside Atherinella brasiliensis (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) in a tropical estuary, Brazil
RESUMO Nós investigamos a partição intraespecífica de recursos alimentares do peixe-rei Atherinella brasiliensis em um estuário tropical. Um total de 1.099 estômagos foi analisado, e a dieta foi constituída principalmente de Gastropoda, Larva de Ceratopogonidae, Larva de Decapoda, Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Hymenoptera e Brachyura. A análise de ordenaç�

3. Caudal fin-nipping by Serrasalmus maculatus (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) in a small water reservoir: seasonal variation and prey selection
ABSTRACT We evaluated how seasonality affects the frequency and intensity of fin-nipping, as well as the fish prey preferences of Serrasalmus maculatus Kner, 1858. The study took place in a small reservoir of the Ribeirão Claro River basin, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Fish were sampled monthly from July 2003 to June 2004, using gillnets. Sampl

4. Selection of habitat by the jaguar, Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae), in the upper Paraná River, Brazil
We used data from VHF and GPS radio-tagged jaguars, Panthera onca (Linnaeus, 1758) to quantify jaguar habitat selection and how adult individuals in the Upper Paraná River region selected among the available habitat types. We followed the framework in which animals make decisions about resource use at hierarchical stages, namely selection of home range with

5. Microhabitat use by species of the genera Bothrops and Crotalus (Viperidae) in semi-extensive captivity
Many factors influence microhabitat including climate and the occurrence of predators, prey and suitable shelters. The influence of predators in a semi-extensive breeding system is minimized due to frequent monitoring of the area. This situation enables the independent analysis of such other variables as refuges and temperature. Some specimens of the Viperid

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. Ontogenetic predation capacity of Macrobrachium borellii (Caridea: Palaemonidae) on prey from littoral-benthic communities
Macrobrachium borellii is an abundant prawn of the Paraná River floodplain. Newly hatched juveniles have the general characteristics of adults, and they are proposed to have the same feeding habits. Its natural diet is composed mainly of animals' items rather than vegetals, of which dipteran larvae and oligochaetes are positively selected. However, the osci

8. Levantamento, área de vida, uso e seleção de hábitat de Falconiformes na região central do estado de São Paulo / Survey, home range, habitat use and selection of the Falconiformes in the central region of the state of São Paulo
Raptors, similarly to other animal groups, are not randomly distributed in the different habitats in the terrestrial landscape. Knowing and understanding the factors (and implications) influencing these species to chose a certain habitat are essential in ecological studies. This subject has become even more important not only because of the lack of informati

9. Text not informed by the author. / Evolução do cleptoparasitismo em Argyrodes elevatus (theridiidae, aranae)
Kleptoparasitism is an animal interaction consisting in stealth of collected or processed food items. It occurs on many animal taxa. Among spiders, the subfamily Argyrodinae (Araneae) is one of the groups with more kleptoparasite species. In this study, we present a set of different actions that the kleptoparasite Argyrodes elevatus can do in host spiders we

10. Coloração ultravioleta e pigmentária em aves de Uberlândia-MG / Ultraviolet and pigmentary colouration in birds of the Uberlândia MG
Bird feathers exhibit colors that are important for intra- and inter-specific communication. These colours transmit information that be conclusive for sexual selection, predator/prey relations or to indicate the nutritional condition of the individual, besides other aspects. Information about the functionality of plumage colouration in Brazilian birds is pra

11. 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

This study presents aspects of the ecology of the whiptail lizard Cnemidophorus lacertoides at the restinga habitat of Dunas da Joaquina, in Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. This population presents the known northernmost record for the species. The lizards were collected during the day, on December of three consecutive years, using rubber bands and gl
