Trait-Specific Indirect Effects Underlie Variation in the Response of Spiders t...
Henriques, Jorge F.; Lacava, Mariángeles; Guzman, Celeste; Gavin-Centol, Maria Pilar; Ruiz-Lupión, Dolores; Ruiz, Alberto; Viera, CarmenIn cannibalistic species, selection to avoid conspecifics may stem from the need to avoid being eaten or to avoid competition. Individuals may thus use conspecific cues to modulate their behavior to such threats. Yet the nature of variation for such cues remains elusive. Here, we use a half-sib/full-sib design to evaluate the contribution of (indirect) genetic or environmental effects to the behavioral response...
Effect of chemical stress and ultraviolet radiation in the bacterial communitie...
Oliveira, Jacinta M. M.; Almeida, Ana Rita; Pimentel, Tânia; Andrade, Thayres S.; Henriques, Jorge F.; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Loureiro, SusanaThis study aimed to assess the effect of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and chemical stress (triclosan-TCS; potassium dichromate-PD; prochloraz-PCZ) on bacterial communities of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos (ZEBC). Embryos were exposed to two UVR intensities and two chemical concentrations not causing mortality or any developmental effect (equivalent to the No-Observed-Effect Concentration-NOEC; NOEC diluted by ...
