Effect of the spatial heterogeneity on the predation of Scinax fuscovarius and Physalaemus cuvieri tadpoles by Odonata larvae = Efeito da heterogeneidade ambiental na predação de girinos de Scinax fuscovarius e Physalaemus cuvieri por larvas de Odonata

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2010
The objective of this work were to analyze the effect of predation byOdonata naiads on two amphibian species with distinct habits – benthic and mid-water – and to verify whether the presence and architecture of macrophytes can mediate this interaction ...

Vitamin A transport in plasma of the non-mammalian vertebrates: isolation and partial characterization of piscine retinol-binding protein1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1977
Studies were conducted to explore vitamin A transport in the non-mammalian vertebrates, especially Pisces, Amphibia, and Reptilia, and to isolate and partially characterize piscine retinol-binding protein.

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Using Long‐Term Monitoring Data to Assess Temporal Patterns in Fish Community Assemblages in Florida Lakes

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an effort to increase the relevancy of fish community data for management, we used fish community data to conduct a statewide assessment of Florida's freshwater fisheries resources and compare the relationships between environmental factors and freshwater fish communities over time.

Impacts of predator odours and conspecific disturbance cues on minnow thermal tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Warming waters can affect fish community dynamics, potentially exacerbating predator–prey asymmetries in behavioural and physiological metrics of thermal tolerance. Further, differing responses of prey fish species to concurrent predation risk and warming highlight the need to understand these impacts in various contexts, especially with at ...

20th Anniversary of human‐induced pluripotent stem cells and the role of microscopy

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been 20 years since the pioneering work of Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi at Kyoto University led to the first successful generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cells. iPSCs have the capacity to differentiate into any type of cell in the human body, and as such, they have ...

Shifts in type 2 vomeronasal receptor expression during postnatal development in the lungfish olfactory organ

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Lungfish possess a lamellar OE and a primitive VNO called as a recess epithelium (RecE). Among the lungfish V2Rs expressed in both the lamellar OE and the RecE in small individuals, some became restricted to the RecE in large individuals. These results suggest functional separation between the lamellar OE and the RecE is still incomplete in juveniles ...

Recognizing Signs of Abusive Head Trauma

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Abusive head trauma (AHT) remains the leading cause of fatal traumatic brain injury in infants and young children. Diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed due to nonspecific clinical presentation and unreliable histories, making neuroimaging a critical component of the diagnostic process. Objective This review synthesises computed

Outcrop and subsurface characterisation of a mixed tidal and wave‐influenced coastline (Triassic Red Beds, SE Spain)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

Alterações histopatológicas em girinos de rã-touro alimentados com rações comerciais de diferentes níveis protéicos Histopathological alterations in bullfrog tadpoles fed commercial diets with three levels of crude protein

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2008
Realizaram-se necropsia e exame histopatológico de girinos de rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana) alimentados com rações comerciais formuladas com 32, 36, 45 ou 55% de proteína bruta (PB) visando estabelecer a relação entre o nível de proteína bruta da ração e a
