No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-10-01; The Tocantins-Araguaia Basin is one of the largest river systems in South America, located entirely within Brazilian territory. In the last decades, capital-concentrating activities such as agribusiness, mining, and hydropower promoted extensive changes in land cover, hydrology, and environmental condit...
Input, output, impact, and processes are central indicators of the science, technology, and innovation production. The input is usually associated to investments made in science and technology, and it varies among different countries and scientific fields. Thus, the input can influence other impact indicators. Here, we evaluated the effect of the input data (i.e., number of funding) on ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-05-01; Understanding how assemblages are structured in space and the factors promoting their distributions is one of the main goals in Ecology, however, studies regarding the distribution of organisms at larger scales remain biased towards terrestrial groups. We attempt to understand if the structure of stream...

Objetivo Este estudo pretende responder: (i) as comunidades de fitoplâncton podem ser utilizadas como substitutos de comunidades zooplanctônicas? (ii) podemos utilizar abordagens ecológicas como grupos funcionais (FG) ou classificação morfofuncional (MBFG) como substitutos para espécies de fitoplâncton?; (iii) podemos usar grupos substitutos (cladóceros, copépodes, rotíferos ou amebas testáceas) como substituto...
Aim This study aimed to investigate the relative influence of climate (temperature and precipitation) and land use on limnological features of 30 floodplain lakes in the Araguaia River, in Central Brazil, an important river that drains in the Brazilian Cerrado. Methods The lakes were sampled in one same period, at a large spatial scale (900 km along the river) covering climate and landscape variability. For dec...
Angiogenesis is a fundamental physiological process with strong implications in tissue homeostasis. Animal models helping to identify how angiogenesis is regulated are fundamental to answer many biological questions. Chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay is one of the most employed methods to study angiogenesis. In this study we applied a scientometric approach to evaluate the employment of CAM assa...
OBJETIVO: A diversidade beta é definida como as mudanças na composição de espécies ao longo de um gradiente ambiental, e atualmente, ecólogos têm investigado a influência de fatores locais (i.e. ambiente) e regionais (i.e. dispersão) na estrutura de comunidades. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram avaliar a diversidade beta da comunidade fitoplanctônica da planície de inundação do Curuaí e determinar a importânci...
O combustível fóssil dá sinais de esgotamento das suas reservas além de afetar o meio ambiente devido à poluição decorrente de sua queima. Surgiu assim um novo desafio: encontrar um combustível substituto que seja renovável e que seja menos poluente. O biodiesel surgiu como potencial substituto do combustível fóssil, por ser oriundo de várias matérias primas, reduzir o impacto ambiental gerado por poluição e ai...
The aim of this study was to investigate the seasonal changes and temporal synchrony of phytoplankton community attributes (diversity and density) at four eutrophic urban reservoirs (Jardim Botânico lake, Vaca Brava Park lake, Rosas lake and Bosque dos Buritis lake) in the city of Goiânia, Goiás State. Phytoplankton diversity was estimated by the Shannon-Winner (H’) index and phytoplankton density by the Utermö...
