Abstract Brazil has a variety of aquatic ecosystems and rich freshwater biodiversity, but these components have been constantly damaged by the expansion unsustainable activities. An array different conservation strategies is needed, especially creation protected areas (PAs, hereafter). However, Brazil's PAs are biased towards terrestrial we argue that current limited efficacy in protection biodiversity. New should better consider environments, covering entire basins, rivers other habitats....
Freshwater aquatic ecosystems are vulnerable to human activities within their surroundings, presenting a concerning scenario for organisms and subsistence. Therefore, understanding the occurrence of pesticide contamination is necessary condition safeguard biodiversity health. We analysed residues in water samples, using solid-phase extraction (SPE) technique determination by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC‒MS/MS). also we investigated...
Abstract Aquaculture is the main vector for introduction of non‐native species in Brazil and around world. Despite potentially serious irreversible ecological impacts caused by species, they continue to be many cases preferred option aquaculture farms, which recent plans expansion promoted Brazilian Government are an emblematic example. In this study, we present a survey publicly available information on parks installed across territory, with emphasis status as native or non‐native, discuss...
The patterns of parasite sharing among hosts have important implications for ecosystem structure and functioning, are influenced by several ecological evolutionary factors associated with both parasites. Here we evaluated the influence fish diet phylogenetic relatedness on pattern infection parasites contrasting life history strategies in a freshwater key importance South America. studied network interactions included 52 species, which consumed 58 food types were infected 303 taxa. Our...
Abstract: The Araguaia River basin has the highest fish biodiversity within Cerrado biome (Brazilian savannah), with many endemic and threatened species by human activities. Despite growing efforts to catalog Neotropical freshwater biodiversity, regions are still undersampled. Our objective is complement information about stream in two hydrographic basins Cerrado. We sampled 72 streams 50 m stretch Upper (n = 32) Middle Rio das Mortes 40) basins. collected 14,887 individuals distributed 137...
Abstract Water availability is an essential factor in maintaining the integrity of ecological processes and a source socio‐economic development. However, development increases pressure on water resources. Thus, understanding flow regime watershed to correct resource management. In this study, we propose using dynamic quantile regression (DQR) analyse trends streamflow time series. DQR subset general class semi‐parametric models, which tailored for series modelling. It allows autoregressive...
Reproduction is one of the most important biological aspects for maintenance viable populations, and understanding spatial seasonal patterns in reproduction Neotropical fish a point that still needs considerable investigation. In this study, main aim was to reduce knowledge gaps concerning eggs larvae distribution patterns. Therefore, River Araguaia basin, hydrographic basins savanna, used as focal study. Samplings were carried across hydrological regime during flooding drought events...
Beta diversity, the spatial or temporal variation in community structure, is a central themein ecology. In this study, we evaluated explanatory power of environmental and spatialvariables predicting fish beta diversity. Using data from Cerrado streams, first partitioned fishbeta diversity into three components using both presence-absence (total, turnover, nestedness) andabundance balanced changes abundance, abundance gradients). Then, evaluatedthe individual influences variables on each...
Studies on the fish fauna of Xingu river basin are mainly concentrated in main channel or its large tributaries, due to requirements all faunal surveys hydroelectric power plant projects. Our goal was conduct a survey composition headwater streams (lotic environments) and small reservoirs (artificial lentic built these upper River region. Fish were sampled dry period, July 2013, using active sampling methods 100 meter-section at each site. We recorded occurrence 33 species five orders 16...
