LONGITUDINAL USE OF FEEDING RESOURCES AND DISTRIBUTION OF FISH TROPHIC GUILDS IN A COASTAL ATLANTIC STREAM, SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Longitudinal use of feeding resources and distribution of fish trophic guilds in a coastal Atlantic stream, southern Brazil

This study described the use of food resources and the distribution of fish trophic guilds along the longitudinal gradient of a coastal Atlantic stream, southern Brazil.Allochthonous resources (terrestrial insects) predominated in the headwaters, whereas autochthonous food items (algae, fish) and detritus predominated in the mouth section.Detritivo

Effect of Transgenic Cotton Expressing Bt Cry1Ac or Cry1Ab/Ac Toxins on Lacewing Larvae Mediated by Herbivorous Insect Pests

A simple food chain (plant, insect pests, and predatory arthropods) in an agro-ecosystem was set up Balaclavas here as a model system to elucidate the potential effect of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton on non-target organisms.The system included transgenic/non-transgenic cotton, neonate larvae of three herbivorous insects (Spodoptera
