Review of the distribution of Lophostoma carrikeri (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), with range extension to transitional vegetation zones in the southwestern Amazon

Acta amaz; 50 (2), 2020
Lophostoma carrikeri has been mostly recorded within the Amazon biome. There are scarce records in the northern Brazilian Amazon, but also records outside this biome, which were neglected in literature. The aim of this study was to update and extend the distribution of L. carrikeri. Seven new localities ...

Rev. biol. trop; 68 (2), 2020
Introducción: Se utilizan quemas como parte del manejo de pastos introducidos en Chiapas, lo cual puede derivar en incendios forestales. Objetivos: obtener la carga de combustibles, comportamiento del fuego, emisiones de CO2 y derivar aspectos de seguridad durante el combate de incendios en pastizales y...

Controlled water stress in agricultural crops in brazilian cerrado

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (3), 2020
Considering the scenarios with reduction of water availability, the need to increase water use efficiency and crop yield, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of reducing the evapotranspiration of the main irrigated crops on productivity. Data from the years 2005 to 201...

Long term beef production in extensive cow-calf systems in the tropical savannas of eastern Colombia

Rev. med. vet. zoot; 67 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Replacement beef heifers in extensive systems of the neotropical savannas of Colombia are low priority animals and are assigned to native savannas and low-quality pastures, with scarcely researched long-term consequences. The study pooled data from four contemporary grazing experiments to determ...

Análise fractal do padrão espacial de plantas em pastagem

Avaliou-se o uso da análise fractal como ferramenta na determinação de padrões na escala de pastejo em pastagens naturais submetidas a diferentes manejos. Os tratamentos testados em Santa Maria foram: pastejo com queima, pastejo sem queima, exclusão com queima, exclusão sem queima. Em Bagé, os tra...

Medicinal plants of the brazilian cerrado: knowing to preserve

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (2), 2020
The Cerrado is the second largest biome in Brazil and presents an immeasurable and still underexplored ecological diversity. Despite the exuberance of its endemic species, it is one of the 25 global hotspots, due to a high natural biodiversity wealth along with an expressive e...

Acetylcholinesterase and α-Amylase inhibitors from Mouriri elliptica Martius leaf extract

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (2), 2020
Population growth has raised food production, and new sources are needed to increase quantity and quality of agricultural products. Carbamates and organophosphates are insecticide classes used worldwide as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. Plants have a natural resistance to insects, which can be e...

Reproductive biology, morphology, and morphometry of ovaries and oviducts of Trachemys scripta elegans in Brazilian Cerrado

Pesqui. vet. bras; 40 (2), 2020
Although Trachemys scripta elegans is an exotic species popular as a pet in Brazil, studies on reproductive biology and capacity are non-existent in the Brazilian Cerrado. This study analyzed ovarian and oviduct characteristics and the egg production capacity of T. scripta elegans grown in this biome. Th...

In situ remote sensing as a strategy to predict cotton seed yield

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (6), 2019
Crop harvest scheduling and profits and losses predications require strategies that estimate crop yield. This work aimed to investigate the contribution of phenological variables using path analysis and remote sensing techniques on cotton boll yield and to generate a model using d...

Density-dependent seed predation in Attalea geraensis Barb. Rodr. (Arecaceae) caused by bruchid beetles in the Brazilian Cerrado

Braz. j. biol; 79 (4), 2019
Abstract Palms are an important component of Neotropical communities as they are often diverse and abundant. In some areas, palms occur in high density and act as limiting factor in tree recruitment by limiting tree seedling and sapling abundance. In this study, I evaluated the intensity of seed mortali...
