Abstract Protecting riparian vegetation around streams is vital in reducing the detrimental effects of environmental change on freshwater ecosystems and maintaining aquatic biodiversity. Thus, identifying ecological thresholds useful for defining regulatory limits guiding management zones towards conservation biota. Using nationwide data fish invertebrates occurring small Brazilian streams, we estimated native loss which there are abrupt changes occurrence abundance bioindicators tested...
Abstract Leptophlebiidae is the family with most diversity of species and wide distribution in Southern Hemisphere. There are 95 recorded Brazil, but for state Bahia there only 21 species. A check list new records (Ephemeroptera) presented to State Bahia. total 16 genera 40 were identified on this study. The Fittkaulus cururuensis, Hylister obliquus, Miroculis (atroari) duckensis (Ommaethus) froehlichi reported first time Bahia, increasing number from 25. Now, one states largest records,...
A dengue, doença causada pelo arbovírus DENV e transmitida mosquito Aedes aegypti, representa um desafio global, com milhões de casos registrados anualmente. No Brasil, a situação é alarmante, aumento significativo nos últimos anos. Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo propôs investigar viabilidade do controle biológico utilizando larvas cinco famílias da ordem Odonata, como potenciais predadoras das A. em condições laboratório. Foram conduzidos quatro experimentos duração 12 horas cada....
Purpose: Investigate the influence of environmental variables and spatial autocorrelation on aquatic insect communities within same water flow in Atlantic Forest streams. Theoretical framework: The organisms lotic environments are influenced by both local non-local factors, addition to other processes, which result from dynamics environment. Alterations these factors can provide evidence regarding organization communities. Given high sensitivity used ecosystems quality studies around world....
