13. Review of thirty-two years of toothed whale strandings in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil (Cetacea: Odontoceti)
ABSTRACT Marine mammal strandings provide valuable insights into local biodiversity. Strandings can be caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the state of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil, organized marine mammal collections started in the 1980s through opportunistic and non-systematic collection efforts, representing a record of over 30 years o

14. Intrusive versus domiciliated triatomines and the challenge of adapting vector control practices against Chagas disease
Chagas disease prevention remains mostly based on triatomine vector control to reduce or eliminate house infestation with these bugs. The level of adaptation of triatomines to human housing is a key part of vector competence and needs to be precisely evaluated to allow for the design of effective vector control strategies. In this review, we examine how the

15. BAT-BORNE RABIES IN LATIN AMERICA
The situation of rabies in America is complex: rabies in dogs has decreased dramatically, but bats are increasingly recognized as natural reservoirs of other rabies variants. Here, bat species known to be rabies-positive with different antigenic variants, are summarized in relation to bat conservation status across Latin America. Rabies virus is widespread i

16. Natural history of Micrablepharus maximiliani (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) in a Cerrado region of northeastern Brazil
Micrablepharus maximiliani (Reinhardt & Luetken, 1861) is a microteiid lizard widely distributed in the open areas of South America. Little is known about its ecology and reproductive biology. Here, we analyzed aspects of the natural history of a population of M. maximiliani from a Cerrado area in the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil. Our results suggest

17. Ecophysiological responses to the effect of annual management on an endemic viviparous fish in central plateau of Mexico
Studies on the biological aspects of fish typically focus on species that currently have commercial value, causing species that lack such market value to be ignored. This is the case of several freshwater fish, specifically of several members of the Goodeidae family. In the State of Querétaro there are several species of this family characterized for being

18. Aspectos da ecologia trÃfica e distribuiÃÃo vertical de uma populaÃÃo de Dendropsophus gr. Microcephalus (Anura, Hylidae) em uma area de mata de tabuleiro litorÃneo do Nordeste brasileiro. / Aspects of trophic ecology and microhabitat use (vertical distribution) of a population of Dendropsophus gr. microcephalus (Anura, Hylidae) in a forest area of the coastal tableland Brazilian Northeast
In this work, it was studied the diet and vertical stratification in D. gr. microcephalus in an area of coastal tableland of northeastern Brazil. Regarding diet, it was identified the main food items, the occurrence of sexual, ontogenetic and seasonal variation in relation to the consumed prey, as well as the ratio of length and volume of these with the snou

19. Ecology, management and conservation of buriti (Mauritia flexuosa; Arecaceae) in swamp forest of the Central Brazil / Ecologia,manejo e conservação do buriti (Mauritia flexuosa; Arecaceae) nos brejos do Brasil Central
Florestas geram subsistência e renda para comunidades rurais, por meio do extrativismo de produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNM), agricultura de coivara, criação de gado e porcos, etc. Estas atividades podem ser alternativas econômicas de menor impacto do que o corte seletivo de madeira e a conversão das florestas em monoculturas. Porém, a sustent

20. Estudo das populações de flebotomíneos transmissores de Leishmania no Panamá / Study of sand fly population transmitter of Leishmania in Panam
The sand flies are insects of the order Diptera (nematocera), family Psychodidae, subfamily Phlebotominae that are recognized as important disease vectors. They are known to be vectors of arbovirus belonging to the family Reoviridae, Bunyaviridae and Rhabdoviridae as well as vectors of bacteria of family Bartonellacea. However, sand flies gained more epidemi

21. Taxonomy of Ascidae sensu Lindquist and Evans (1965) (Acari: Mesostigmata), biology and ecology of selected Brazilian species / Taxonomia de Ascidae sensu Lindquist e Evans (1965) (Acari: Mesostigmata), biologia e ecologia de espécies brasileiras selecionadas
Mites of the family Ascidae sensu Lindquist and Evans (1965) are found in various habitats, especially in litter, stored products and flowers. They are best known for their predatory habits on mites, other small arthropods and nematodes, but many are also known to feed on fungi, pollen and nectar, and some have been reported in association with cockroaches a

22. The diet of the South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) at Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina, during the winter-spring period
The South American sea lion, Otaria flavescens (Shaw, 1800) population is steadily expanding along the Patagonian coast of Argentina in the last decades. However, little is known about the feeding ecology of the species in the area. The aim of this study was to analyze the food habits of O. flavescens from 91 scats collected at Río Negro province, during th

23. Feeding ecology of the pygmy gecko Coleodactylus natalensis (Squamata: Sphaerodactylidae) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
We studied the feeding ecology of a population of Coleodactylus natalensis Freire, 1999, an endemic gecko of Atlantic Forest fragments in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. Lizards (N = 49) were collected manually through active search in the four habitats of Parque Estadual Dunas de Natal, type locality of the species. In the laboratory,
