One mechanism proposed to explain high species diversity in tropical systems is strong negative conspecific density dependence (CDD), which reduces recruitment of juveniles proximity adult plants. Although evidence shows that plant-specific soil pathogens can drive CDD, trees also form key mutualisms with mycorrhizal fungi, may counteract these effects. Across 43 large-scale forest plots worldwide, we tested whether ectomycorrhizal tree exhibit weaker CDD than arbuscular species. We further...
The hypothesis that biotic interactions strengthen toward lower latitudes provides a framework for linking community-scale processes with the macroecological scales define our biosphere. Despite importance of this understanding community assembly and ecosystem functioning, extent to which interaction strength varies across latitude effects variation on natural communities remain unresolved. Predation in particular is central ecological evolutionary dynamics globe, yet very few studies...
Non-native fish (NNF) can threaten megadiverse aquatic ecosystems throughout the planet, but limited information is available for Amazon Region. In this study we review NNF data in Amazonian macroregion using spatiotemporal records on occurrence and richness of from a collaborative network 35 regional experts, establishing database (ANNF). The species was analyzed by river basin country, as well policies each geopolitical division Amazon. analysis included six countries (Brazil, Peru,...
Abstract Rates at which a community recovers after disturbance, or its resilience, can be accelerated by increased net primary productivity and recolonization dynamics such as recruitment. These mechanisms vary across biogeographic gradients, latitude, suggesting that biogeography is likely important to predicting resilience. To test whether informed functional compositional recovery, hinges on geographic location, we employed standardized replicated experiment marine invertebrate...
The Port Complex of Maranhão (PCM) is the second largest port complex in Brazil, receiving ships with large volumes ballast water. To evaluate microbiological quality its waters, physicochemical parameters (pH and salinity), number coliforms (thermotolerants totals), presence enterobacterias diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains were analyzed. In order to identify E. virulence genes target regions stx, elt, est, aggR, CVD432, ipaH eae nucleotide sequences studied. totals thermotolerants...
Leprosy is a highly infectious disease endemic to underdeveloped countries.In Maranhão State, Northeastern Brazil, the hyperendemic rate of 56.11 cases/100,000 inhabitants increased necessity better understanding epidemiological profile this population, particularly regarding efficient methods for evaluating individuals residing with diagnosed patients understand transmission and risk infection.In ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.brGenetics Molecular Research 14 (4): 14479-14487 (2015) study, we...
Abstract Roots of Syagrus oleracea were collected in two growing areas the municipality Rio Verde, state Goiás (Brazil). Morphological, morphometric and molecular (ITS1 sequences) approaches allowed us to identify infecting nematode as Pratylenchus brachyurus. To our knowledge, this is first record P. brachyurus parasitizing guariroba elsewhere (new host).
Presented are length–weight relationship (LWR) estimates for 15 native fish species captured between 2010 and 2011, in the Munim River, Brazilian Cerrado basin. Samples were collected using gillnets of four different mesh sizes (3.0, 4.0, 5.0 6.0 cm), hand nets a covo-fish trap. Additionally provided first LWRs eight species, specially recently described Charax awa Guimarães, Brito, Ferreira & Ottoni, 2018.
Introduction Global shipping has accelerated the spread of non-native species. Factors such as environmental filtering and interactions with local biota can affect invasion likelihood, yet their relative contribution to predicting risk remains unresolved. To test how abiotic filters an experimentally-derived measure biotic resistance interact propagule pressure, we developed integrated model evaluate effects on marine biofouling organisms different focal port regions. We predicted that...
Identificar situações com as quais a comunidade acadêmica se defronta quanto à geração de resíduos é imprescindível para que haja uma elaboração programas e políticas gestão sustentável em universidades. Este trabalho visou compreender como dá sensibilização da Cidade Universitária/ UFMA, acerca produção sólidos seus devidos impactos ambientais. A metodologia baseou-se na aplicação 509 questionários, perguntas reciclagem coleta seletiva, abrangendo 33 cursos graduação pós-graduação diversas...
The Temple Ambler Field Station, located just 40 minutes outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, offers new opportunities for environmental field research and education (Fig. 1). University’s Campus was officially designated as a station by Temple’s Office the Vice President Research in 2020, making us one newest stations country. Our 187-acre campus arboretum offer diversity natural habitats, including old growth secondary forests, meadows, ephemeral streams, beautiful designed gardens 2)....
