- Annual Plan of Implementation of the Technical Reserve for Institutional Research Infrastructure Costs, AP.RT.INST
- Patterns of distribution of aquatic biodiversity in the Pará State, AP.R
Abstract
Knowing and understanding what structures and maintains the high diversity of species in highly threatened tropical regions, such as the Amazon, is of fundamental importance. Preserved tropical forests are currently known to be valuable for maintaining ecosystem services, such as pollination and rainfall regulation. They are also important for food security and for the production, storage…
- Taxonomic and functional diversity of the stream fish fauna in newly deforested watersheds, AP.R
Abstract
The agropastoral expansion in the Amazon is the main cause of forest loss, with negative influences to the streams ecosystems. Some of the watersheds located in this region show deforestation over the last four decades whereas others were cleared over the last two decades. This project was designed with the focus on the importance of understanding the stream functioning in recently defore…

- PARASITOFAUNA OF "PIRARUCU" (Arapaima gigas, Pisces) IN NATURAL AND NONNATURAL AREA: TESTING THE ENEMY RELEASE HYPOTHESIS AND THE PATTERNS OF PARASITE-HOST INTERACTIONS, BP.PD
Resumo
Introduction of species outside their native range can lead to biological invasion processes, which can alter ecological relationships in new distribution areas, including host-parasite interactions. On the other hand, parasitism can influence the invasion process, helping or limiting the expansion of their hosts. In this scenario, bipartite networks are considered effective tools for stu…
- Igarapés of the Saracá-Taquera National Forest, PA: habitat characteristics, community structure and beta diversity of ichthyofauna along the land use gradient, BP.IC
Resumo
Protected areas aimed at conserving biodiversity are not free from human interference, such as deforestation and mining. These activities impact the terrestrial and aquatic environment, notably the small streams, known as igarapés in the Amazonian biome. The present project aims to study the fish fauna of 24 igarapés of the Saracá-Taquera National Forest, in the state of Pará, to determin…
- Trophic guilds of stream fish along the urbanization gradient of the Upper Tietê basin, SP, BP.IC
Abstract
The accelerated expansion of cities over natural environments ends up including the streams in the urban landscape, causing a series of negative effects, among which is the change in the availability of food resources for fish. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine how the urbanization gradient is reflected in the trophic structure of the stream fish fauna in the Upper Tietê R…
- Influence of different spatial scale in obtaining land use information for application in stream ecology studies, BP.IC
Abstract
Understanding the effects of land use changes have been recently gaining attention in freshwater ecology studies. It is noteworthy that, ecologists and ichthyologists have been increasingly used landscape variables to identify and comprehend the patterns of loss of fish biodiversity in aquatic systems. On the other hand, there is no standardization in the scales and methodologies applied …

- Relationships between the deforestation process and the fish diversity patterns at Western Amazon streams, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
The streams of the Neotropical region harbor a small-sized fish fauna, frequently with limited geographical distribution and, generally, highly dependent on riparian vegetation for feeding, shelter and reproduction. The watershed native vegetation removal is one among several modifications, which effects on aquatic environments are not completely understood yet. The knowledge of deforesta…
- Time and land-use change in an agricultural landscape: are there consequences to the functional diversity of tropical stream fish in a decade?, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Successive changes in land-use over the years have potential to affect aquatic organisms and communities functioning. Thus, the aim of this project is assess if, and how, the land-use - grassland to sugarcane - and time (one decade) can affect functional diversity of tropical stream fish. For this, we resampled 43 streams that had been sampled in 2003 at Northwest state of São Paulo. All …
- Structural variation of stream freshwater fishes metacommunity from Atlantic Forest, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Several factors influence stream ichthyofauna structure (e.g. habitat heterogeneity, spatial scale and dispersal) and the metacommunity framework can help to understand the mechanisms and process which regulates spatial organization of species, as this concept is focused on interaction linking dispersal and community dynamics within and between local and regional scales. The aim of this s…
