1. An assessment of the factors determining rotifer assemblage in river-lake systems: the effects of seasonality and habitat
ABSTRACT Zooplankton exhibit several trends of variation in space and time, and these trends can be more evident in natural environments without anthropic perturbations. Examples of anthropic factors are climate change, eutrophication and construction of reservoirs. This study evaluated the influence of three factors - seasonality, type of environment and th

2. Soil CO2 Efflux Measurements by Alkali Absorption and Infrared Gas Analyzer in the Brazilian Semiarid Region
ABSTRACT The CO2 emission from the soil surface, commonly referred to as soil CO2 efflux (ECO2) or soil respiration, is the sum of processes that include root respiration and microbial activity. Measuring this evolution is important to establish sustainable land use models and to estimate global fluxes of carbon, which affect climate change. Despite its impo

3. Reproductive biology of the Green Ground Snake Erythrolamprus poecilogyrus sublineatus (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) in Subtropical Brazil
ABSTRACT We investigated reproductive features of the dipsadid snake Erythrolamprus poecilogyrus sublineatus in the southernmost Brazilian coast, a subtropical region characterized by well-marked seasons. Females are significantly smaller than males, have a shorter tail, and reach sexual maturity at later times along their development. In contrast to tropic

4. Canopy management effects on ‘Syrah’ grapevines under tropical semi-arid conditions
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of shoot topping and leaf removal practices on vegetative vigor, yield and physicochemical characteristics of the 'Syrah' grape in the semi-arid tropical climate conditions of the São Francisco River Valley in the northeast of Brazil. The experiment was conducted over five growing cycles from 2010 t

5. Seasonal and circadian variation of the sexual behavior of Morada Nova rams in tropical environment
The objective of this study was to evaluate the seasonal and daily variation in sexual behavior of Morada Nova breeders raised in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The data were collected from four rams and 114 ewes of the Morada Nova breed - 55 females in the dry season and another 59 in the rainy season. Observations were performed in the dry and rainy seaso

6. Etiologic and epidemiologic analysis of hand, foot, and mouth disease in Guangzhou city: a review of 4,753 cases
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to review etiological and epidemiological data for hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) cases that occurred between 2008 and 2010 in Guangzhou City, to help develop and implement precautionary measures applicable for future outbreaks. METHODS: The characteristics of 4,753 HFMD episodes were retrospectively reviewed in 4,636 patie

7. Detalhamento de áreas de savana arborizada no bioma Cerrado a partir da análise de séries temporais MODIS EVI para o período de 2004 a 2008 / Details of the savanna woodland in Cerrado based on the analysis of time series MODIS EVI for the period 2004 to 2008
Mapeamentos de cobertura e uso da terra são de fundamental importância para a efetiva gestão territorial, monitoramento ambiental e para o correto entendimento quanto à estrutura e funcionamento dos ecossistemas. No caso do bioma Cerrado, importante avanço neste sentido foi o mapeamento realizado no âmbito da iniciativa PROBIO (Projeto de Conservação

8. Influence of the river flow on the structure of fish assemblage along the longitudinal gradient from river to reservoir
Changes in fish assemblage structure along a longitudinal gradient of the Paraíba do Sul River and Funil reservoir were studied to detect distribution patterns and the seasonal influence of the inflowing river. Fish were caught by gill nets in three zones (riverine, transition and lentic) during two seasons (dry and wet). A total of 3,721 individuals were c

9. Feeding habits of giant otters Pteronura brasiliensis (Carnivora: Mustelidae) in the Balbina hydroelectric reservoir, Central Brazilian Amazon
This study aimed to identify the diet of giant otters, Pteronura brasiliensis (Zimmermann, 1780) in the Balbina reservoir (01º55'S, 59º29'W), to compare it with literature data on the diet of giant otters from non-dammed areas, and to verify the effects of the seasonal changes in water levels on the feeding habits of Balbina otters. A total of 254 feces sa

10. Chromosomal inversion polymorphism in Drosophila mediopunctata : seasonal, altitudinal, and latitudinal variation
The most polymorphic chromosome for inversions in Drosophila mediopunctata is the chromosome II, where 17 inversions have been found, eight of which occurring in the distal region and nine in the proximal region. We present an analysis of the chromosome II inversion polymorphism with respect to seasonal, altitudinal and latitudinal variation. In D. mediopunc

12. 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
