Based on the stomach content analysis of 113 individuals, diet invasive amphibian Lithobates catesbeianus (American Bullfrog) was examined in four sites located within municipality Viçosa (20°45′S and 42°51′W), state Minas Gerais, Brazil, from August 2005 to March 2007. The effects frog size sexual maturity contents were determined. Prey items grouped according their primary habitat, being classified as aquatic, terrestrial amphibious. In general, most frequent prey categories...
This study used qRT-PCR to examine variation in the expression of 13 myogenes during muscle development four prenatal periods (21, 40, 70 and 90 days post-insemination) commercial (the three-way Duroc, Landrace Large-White cross) local Piau pig breeds that differ mass. There was no CHD8, EID2B, HIF1AN, IKBKB, RSPO3, SOX7 SUFU genes at various ages or between breeds. The MAP2K1 RBM24 showed similar pigs but greater (p < 0.05) least one period. Pair-wise comparisons each breed only CSRP3,...
The genetic diversity and structure of the ant Atta robusta were assessed by ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeats) in 72 colonies collected from 10 localities Brazilian states Espírito Santo (48 colonies) Rio de Janeiro (24 colonies). pattern included 67 bands, 51 them (76.1%) polymorphic. Analysis molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed a high level (57.4%) inter-population variation, which suggested degree that was confirmed UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method using an arithmetic average)...
Stingless bee colonies typically consist of one single-mated mother queen and her worker offspring. The stingless Melipona bicolor (Hymenoptera: Apidae) shows facultative polygyny, which makes this species particularly suitable for testing theoretical expectations concerning social behavior. In study, we investigated the structure genetic relatedness among workers from eight natural six manipulated M. over a period year. populations contained monogynous polygynous colonies. estimated was...
