Biomass allocation and nutrients balance related to the concentration of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Salvinia auriculata (Salviniaceae)

Medeiros, J C C; Coelho, F F; Teixeira, E.

Braz. j. biol; 76 (2), 2016

Abstract Aquatic plants can use differential allocation (trade-off) of carbon among their structures depending on the nutrition concentration. Given that N and P are limiting in the growth of plants, our questions were: Are the N and P concentrations in S. auriculata related to the biomass allocation to ...

Microturbellarians (Platyhelminthes and Acoelomorpha) in Brazil: invisible organisms?

Braccini, J A L; Amaral, S V; Leal-Zanchet, A M.

Braz. j. biol; 76 (2), 2016

Abstract Microturbellarians typically belong to the benthos and may occur in a wide variety of environments. They are abundant in freshwater and marine ecosystems and may occur in moist terrestrial habitats. However, turbellarians are seldom taken into account in studies of biodiversity. Most studies on ...
