New records of Coronatella (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Chydoridae) from Colombia with the first report of Coronatella undata and of the male of Coronatella monacantha

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Biological samples obtained from a small temporary pond of northern Colombia yielded the first record Coronatella undata Sousa, Elmoor-Loureiro and Santos, 2015 and of the male of C. monacantha (Sars, 1901) for Colombia. In this study, the morphology of female of Coronatella undata and female and male of...

Efecto del pulso de inundación sobre el ensamble de ostrácodos (Ostracoda: Podocopida) en microambientes en la Ciénaga Río Viejo, Colombia

Rev. biol. trop; 71 (1), 2023
Resumen Introducción: Las ciénagas hacen parte de la llanura de inundación de un río y son influenciadas por el pulso de inundación, fuerza que modula los cambios anuales en las variables bióticas y abióticas. Los ensambles biológicos tienen diferentes respuestas a este pulso y podrían present...

Biological control of incrusting organisms and sediments in Chilean oyster cultures

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
The oyster culture has the incrusting organism as problem for production, in this context, it evaluated as biological control against incrusting organism and sediments the introduction of gastropod Tegula atra (Lesson, 1830) in Chilean oysters (Triostrea chilensis Phillippi, 1844) cultures in conditions ...

Flood pulse influence on the feeding ecology of two Amazonian auchenipterid catfishes

Neotrop. ichthyol; 20 (1), 2022
We assessed the flood pulse effect on the diet composition, trophic niche breadth, and the amount of food intake of two Amazonian auchenipterids with different feeding strategies. Sampling was carried out quarterly (from April/2012 to January/2014) on the middle Xingu River, using gillnets. We measured s...

Rev. biol. trop; 69 (3), 2021
Resumen Introducción: La dinámica de las condiciones ambientales influencia la variación del alimento disponible para los organismos estuarinos, afectando el consumo de alimento de los organismos bentónicos como los lenguados, esenciales para establecer y monitorear la calidad ambiental en estos ecos...

Spatio-temporal sublittoral macrobenthic distribution and dominant species in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Braz. j. biol; 81 (3), 2021
Abstract Soft-bottom macrobenthic invertebrates are sensitive to natural or anthropogenic changes in aquatic ecosystems. The distribution patterns of sublittoral macrobenthic species in Guanabara Bay were studied from 2005 to 2007. Samples were collected at ten stations during six surveys throughout the ...

Diversidade de ectoparasitos e endoparasitos infestando Brachyplatystoma vaillantii (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae), um grande bagre migratório da Amazônia
Diversity of ectoparasites and endoparasites infecting Brachyplatystoma vaillantii (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae), a large migratory catfish from the Amazon

Acta amaz; 51 (2), 2021
Brachyplatystoma vaillantii é um grande bagre migratório amplamente distribuído na bacia Amazônica, mas sua fauna parasitária ainda é pouco conhecida. Por ser um importante recurso pesqueiro na região do estuário do Rio Amazonas, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a comunidade parasitária ...

Vibrio sp. ArtGut-C1, a polyhydroxybutyrate producer isolated from the gut of the aquaculture live diet Artemia (Crustacea)

Electron J Biotechnol; 49 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Vibrio species display variable and plastic fitness strategies to survive and interact with multiple hosts, including marine aquaculture species that are severely affected by pathogenic Vibrios. The culturable Vibrio sp. strain ArtGut-C1, the focus of this study, provides new evidence of such...

Comparison between Thin-Layer Models and Non-Traditional Methods in the Modelling of Drying Kinetics of Crustacean Wastes

Abstract This research aims to compare the classical thin-layer models, stepwise fit regression method (SRG) and artificial neural networks (ANN) in the modelling of drying kinetics of shrimp shell and crab exoskeleton. Thus, drying curves were obtained using a convective dryer (3.0 m/s) at temperatures ...

Injuries in humans caused by mantis shrimp or siriboia (Crustacea: Stomatopoda)

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Mantis shrimps or siriboias are crustaceans belonging to the order Stomatopoda. They are known for their strong claws, which they use for defense and capturing their prey. They are classified into two groups: the spearers, which pierce the prey with sharp projections, and the sma...
