Residency of bull sharks, Carcharhinus leucas (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae), at San Pedrillo Islet in Islas Murciélago, North Pacific of Costa Rica

Rev. biol. trop; 69 (supl. 2), 2021
Introduction: The bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, is particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic actions because of its permanence in coastal ecosystems; populations depletion is registered in different places around the world. Aggregations of bull sharks have been reported in the North Pacific of Costa Ri...

Radiotagging a long-distance migratory Characiform fish: reproduction after surgery, tag losses, and effects in weight

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (2), 2021
Although biotelemetry studies bring useful information, tagging is a highly invasive procedure. For this reason, we assess if intracoelomic tagging alters survivorship, weight gain and/or reproductive capacity of a neotropical migratory fish. In August 2016, 60 fish were equally and randomly distributed ...

Implications of domestic dogs in the epidemiology of Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest and Rangelia vitalii in Southeastern Brazil

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of diseases transmitted by Amblyomma ovale in 61 dogs monitored for three years through collections of ticks and blood, interviews, telemetry and camera traps in three areas of Serra do Mar State Park, Brazil. Blood samples were used to investigate inf...

Utilidad de mediciones objetivas para la programación en implantes cocleares

RESUMEN Introducción: La programación adecuada de los implantes cocleares permiten lograr niveles de estimulación auditivos óptimos. Se realiza de forma individualizada, siendo la detección del umbral de confort ideal un desafío. Se ha descrito la utilidad de los potenciales auditivos del tronco e...

Use of remote control in the intraoperative telemetry of cochlear implant: multicentric study

Abstract Introduction: The conventional evaluation of neural telemetry and impedance requires the use of the computer coupled to an interface, with software that provides visualization of the stimulus and response. Recently, a remote control (CR220®) was launched in the market, that allows the performa...

Estimation of peacock bass (Cichla spp) mortality rate during catch-release fishing employing different post-capture procedures

Braz. j. biol; 78 (2), 2018
Abstract The effect of catch-and-release fishing on the survival of peacock bass (Cichla spp.) was evaluated by comparing two types of artificial bait (jig and shallow-diver plugs) and two types of post-catch confinement. Two experiments were conducted during the periods January-February and October-Nove...

Movement patterns and home range in Diplomystes camposensis (Siluriformes: Diplomystidae), an endemic and threatened species from Chile

Neotrop. ichthyol; 16 (1), 2018
We document movement patterns and home range of Diplomystes camposensis, an endemic and threatened freshwater catfish from Chile. We tracked the movements of seven individuals of different body size (13.5 to 19 cm SL) using portable radio telemetry equipment to investigate movement patterns in relation t...

Does Plan B work? Home range estimations from stored on board and transmitted data sets produced by GPS-telemetry in the Colombian Amazon

Rev. biol. trop; 64 (4), 2016
Abstract:Telemetry based on Global Positioning Systems (GPS) makes possible to gather large quantities of information in a very fine scale and work with species that were impossible to study in the past. When working with GPS telemetry, the option of storing data on board could be more desirable than the...
