Fine‐scale patterns of genetic structure in three species of forest birds reveal dynamic Pleistocene history within an Amazonian interfluve

Ibis, EarlyView.
Phylogeographical studies of Amazonian birds have revealed large intraspecific diversity, even within recognized areas of endemism. To understand the origin and organization of Amazonian diversity, including the influence of current and historical landscapes, we need to evaluate fine‐scale patterns of genetic diversity in relation to detailed ...

OSL age determinations of Pleistocene fluvial deposits in Central Amazonia

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010
Absolute dating methods have been used in chronological studies of geological processes and sedimentary units of Quaternary age in Central Amazonia, Brazil. Although radiocarbon dating has been very useful in archaeological research and soil studies, the

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

N‐Acetylcysteine Reduces Alveolar Bone Loss and Mitigates Systemic Oxidative Damage in Rats With Apical Periodontitis

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effects of N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) supplementation in apical periodontitis (AP) induced in rats. Methodology Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups: control, AP, and AP plus NAC.

The effect of environmental factors on transepithelial potential in a model Amazonian teleost, the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum): Implications for sodium balance in harsh environments

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum, G. Cuvier 1818) thrives both in the ion‐poor waters of the Amazon and in commercial aquaculture. In both, environmental conditions can be harsh due to low ion levels, occasional high salt challenges (in aquaculture), low pH, extreme PO2 levels (hypoxia and hyperoxia), high PCO2 levels (hypercapnia), high ...

Branchial localization of acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) excreting ionocytes in Amazonian stenohaline freshwater Potamotrygon ray

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The branchial epithelium of Potamotrygon—a member of the only strictly freshwater elasmobranch family Potamotrygonidae—was observed via immunohistochemistry, and two distinct forms of ionocytes were identified. The acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) secreting cells with respective basolateral–apical localizations of Na+/K+‐ATPase–Na+/H+ exchanger

Assessing the population structure of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Teleostei, Perciformes, Sciaenidae) from the São Francisco River, Bahia, Brazil, using body morphology and otolith shape signatures

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The south American silver croaker, Plagioscion squamosissimus, holds significant importance for the artisanal fisheries in the sub‐middle and lower courses of the São Francisco River, located in northeastern Brazil. To investigate the population structure of this species along its longitudinal profile, a total of 150 individuals (50 fish per ...

Efetividade de rizóbios e caracterização fenotípica dos isolados que nodulam feijão-caupi em solos da Amazônia Central Effectiveness and phenotypic characterization of cowpea rhizobia isolated from central Amazonian soils

Acta Amazonica, 2009
O feijão-caupi (Vigna unguiculata) é uma cultura importante na Amazônia Central, mas os rizóbios associados a essa leguminosa são poucos estudados. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade e caracterizar fenotipicamente os isolados de rizóbio ...

New insights into the putative XX/XY sex chromosomal system in blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (family Loricariidae) presented a putative sex system XX/XY in early stage. Aiming to explore the inter‐populational karyotypic variation and proposed emergence of the XX/XY system, we studied 13 H. soniae individuals (6 males, 7 females) from the Tapajós River.
