The responsible factors of the structure and the regionalization of biological communities on ecosystems can be of intrinsic (ecological and evolutive traits of species, interespecific competition) and/ or extrinsic nature (climate). There are paradigms on community ecology that relate processes such as the dispersion, the resource availability and the habitat selection (environmental filters and vicariant effe...
Fishing with ornamental purposes moves a global multi-millionaire market, that concomitantly causes ecological impacts on species and aquatic environments, primarily due to overpumping and inadequate capture practices. In this study, data on marine ornamental fish exports were analyzed, as well as the official records generated by the Brazilian government (SISBACEN – Sistema de Informação do Banco Central) from...

The nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum, is a coastal species found in tropical and subtropical waters on the Atlantic Ocean, frequently close to reefs, both coral and rocky. The species was reported as one of the most abundant shark species in coastal waters in Brazil, with the northeastern region possibly holding the greatest numbers of nurse sharks. Despite this, local extirpations and population declines re...
In a recent experiment to measure the mass of the proton, it was obtained a value three times more accurate than the value recommended by CODATA. However, the values are incompatible, with the difference between them being three times greater than the standard deviation of the most recent measure. This difference has no explanation in the standard physics. In this work, we investigate the discrepancy between th...
The cactus pear of the Opuntia and Nopalea genres are species of plants very cultivated in the semiarid region of Brazil, mainly for forage production for animals in the dry season. The cladodes of the plant has been considered per long time an important source of nutrients for human and animal alimentation, besides have beneficial properties for health. Because of great genetic diversity of these genres, with ...
The yam responds to nitrogen and potassium fertilization with increased production and improvement in the quality of tubers. In view of the above, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the yield and quality of the yam as a function of nitrogen and potassium doses. The experiment was carried out under field conditions at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Paraíba, Areia-PB, Brazil, ...
Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare (Mill.) is a perennial cycle plant whose therapeutic properties have given importance to farmers. However, this culture has suffered severe damage aphid Hiadaphis foeniculi (Passerini), which cause serious damage to farmers. In the biological control of pests, the lacewings are characterized by greed in young stage, and the Ceraeochrysa cubana specie (Hagen) has been recognized as an ...
Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are phytophagous insects with species that can assume the status of pest in fruit. In Brazil, studies have indicated variations in the diversity of fruit flies, population dynamics and in the interactions with hosts and parasitoids, being fundamental information for an effective control. However, in the Northeast, especially in the state of Paraíba, information on the bioecolo...
