Induction of triploidy in Rhamdia quelen (Siluriformes, Heptapteridae) by double temperature shock
This study evaluated sequential double-temperature shock (heat and cold) to induce triploidy in Rhamdia quelen . Fertilized eggs were heat shocked at 37, 39 and 41°C at 2 min post-fertilization and then cold shocked at 1°C for 20 min. Intact eggs were used as controls. Egg viability in control groups was higher (65.5 ± 37.0%) than that at 37°C (58.2 ±

Differences in the feeding of Rhamdia quelen (Siluriformes, Heptapteridae) in four distinct lotic systems [PDF]
AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the food composition of Rhamdia quelen in four distinct order rivers. It was performed at a low part at the basin of the Sorocaba river in systems classified as first (Anastácio stream), second (Nego stream), fifth (Tatuí river) and sixth (Sorocaba river) orders.

Localization of ribosomal genes in three Pimelodus species (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) of the São Francisco River: 5S genes as species markers and conservation of the 18S rDNA sites [PDF]
Pimelodidae is one of the most representative of Neotropical catfish families. However, these fish are still poorly studied in terms of cytogenetics, especially regarding the application of more accurate techniques such as the chromosomal localization of

Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil
The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at

Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Urbanization causes environmental impacts that threaten the health of aquatic communities and alter their recovery patterns. In this study, we evaluated the diversity of intertidal fish in six areas affected by urbanization (areas with native vegetation, deforested areas, and areas in process of restoration of vegetation) along an urban waterfront in ...
