Abstract The megadiverse Neotropical fish fauna lacks a comprehensive and reliable DNA reference database, which hampers precise species identification based biodiversity assessment in the region. Here, we developed mitochondrial 12S ribosomal database for 67 species, representing 54 genera, 25 families, six major orders. We aimed to develop mini-barcode markers (i.e. amplicons with less than 200 bp) suitable metabarcoding by evaluating taxonomic resolution of full-length mini-barcodes...
Abstract Despite the increasing popularity of DNA metabarcoding in assessment aquatic ecosystems using fish eDNA or ichthyoplankton, challenges have hampered its broader application Neotropical freshwaters. Using five mock communities composed species from two River basins, we evaluated influence concentration and choice mitochondrial 12S molecular markers (MiFish, NeoFish, Teleo) on detection relative read abundance (RRA) metabarcoding. Of three analyzed, only MiFish detected all...
The ability to respond background colour is an important feature of species that might benefit from matching camouflage. Tadpole patterns vary and could be associated with several functions, including defense. Because tadpoles are exposed a wide array visually oriented predators, they represent good models study defensive colouration behaviours. We tested whether potentially disruptively camouflaged tadpole dark body crossed by yellow bars (Ololygon machadoi) able differently light natural...
Abstract As global biodiversity declines, there is an increasing need to create educated and engaged society. Having people of all ages participate in measuring where they live helps awareness. Recently, the use environmental DNA (eDNA) for surveys has gained momentum. Here, we explore whether sampling eDNA sequencing it can be used as a means rapidly surveying urban educational purposes. We sampled 2 × 1 L water from each 15 locations city Trondheim, Norway, including variety freshwater,...
Hypomasticus copelandii is a Neotropical freshwater fish widely distributed across coastal drainages of southeastern Brazil, highly impacted region South America. The interspecific phylogenetic relationships within the genus and taxonomic status species remain uncertain. Using two mitochondrial one nuclear locus, we performed phylogenetic, delimitation, time-calibrated analyses to test hypothesis that H. complex currently delimited by different Atlantic systems. Results indicate presents...
Breast cancer surgery complications cause physical, functional and emotional changes that hinder the performance of daily living activities reintegration to social life. Using Virtual Reality natural interface, a specific software has been developed for rehabilitation women who had breast cancer. This is essential in prevention treatment common after surgery, as well recovery self-esteem body image. Therefore, this paper aimed at discussing applicability these technologies patients seeks...
Biodiversity conservation, especially in megadiverse regions like Brazil, faces challenges that demand the implementation of innovative approaches. In this context, a partnership agreement was signed between Chico Mendes Institute for Conservation (ICMBio) and Vale ofTechnology (ITV), named GBB (Genomics Brazilian Biodiversity), aiming to develop genetic genomic tools monitoring, management species. For identification target species pilot projects, survey conservation demands conducted with...
O período gestacional é marcado por alterações musculoesqueléticas que podem resultar em dor e limitações funcionais. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos terapêuticos de exercícios realizados sob imersão água aquecida no solo sobre o sistema musculoesquelético uma gestante. Foi avaliada voluntária grávida feto único, nulípara, com idade média 32 semanas. A gestante foi submetida à avaliação do quadro álgico meio da escala visual analógica, análise eletromiográfica musculatura...

Atualmente vem crescendo novos métodos terapêuticos para aplicabilidade clínica em pacientes com Disfunção Vascular Encefálica (DVE). Grande parte desses apresentam hemiplegia espástica, quadro de hipertonia sendo a DVE uma lesão das vias piramidais (córtex frontal) que provoca hiperexcitabilidade neuronais, gerando elástica, hiperreflexia, clônus, sinal babinsk e alteração viscoelástica do músculo. Devido esses sinais, os ausência da inibição recíproca promove incapacidade sensório motora,...

Species richness is a metric of biodiversity usually used in fish community assessment for monitoring programs. This often obtained using traditional fisheries methods that rely on capture target organisms, resulting underestimation species. DNA metabarcoding has been recognized as powerful noninvasive alternative tool biomonitoring and management. Despite the increasing popularity this method aquatic megadiverse ecosystems, its implementation studying highly diverse Neotropical ichthyofauna...
