Frugivoria por aves em duas espécies de Miconia (Melastomataceae) em área de campo rupestre ferruginoso
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2015-02-23)
Seed dispersal by frugivorous is a key ecological process in tropical ecosystems. The seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) is influenced by several factors such as the degree of frugivory, how to catch and handle the fruits ...
Modulation of gut microbiota from healthy-weight and obese individuals by pectin, by-products of tropical fruits and probiotic strains
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2019-02-19)
Diversos subprodutos de frutas tropicais, os quais são frequentemente descartados pelas indústrias alimentícias, apresentam elevado conteúdo de fibras e de compostos bioativos. Estes compostos, assim como determinadas cepas ...
Nitrate and nitrite absorption, recycling and retention in tissues of sheep
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Dietary nitrate is of increasing interest both for the pharmacological effects of its metabolites as well as its capacity to inhibit methanogenesis in the gut. A sequence of three experiments was conducted to investigate ...
Hypercarnivorous apex predator could provide ecosystem services by dispersing seeds
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01)
Large ?hypercarnivorous? felids are recognized for their role as apex predators and hence as key elements in food webs and ecosystem functioning through competition and depredation. Here we show that cougars (Puma concolor), ...
Yeasts from kefir grains: isolation, identification, and probiotic characterization
(Springer, 2013-07)
Kefir?a traditional beverage whose consumption has been associated with health benefits?is a logical natural product to investigate for new probiotic strains. The aim of the present work was to isolate and identify kefir ...
Habitat and phylogeny, but not morphology, are linked to fruit consumption in the most ecologically diverse bird family, the Furnariidae
(Csiro Publishing, 2021-10)
The Furnariidae (Ovenbirds and Woodcreepers) are the most ecologically diverse family of passerines, occupying most terrestrial habitats across the Neotropics. Despite their high diversity, their diet is mainly composed ...
Ecologia e evolução da dispersão de sementes por primatas neotropicais
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2017-07-27)
The mutualism among fleshy fruits and fruit-eating vertebrates largely influence tropical forests functioning and dynamics, and promotes fundamental evolutionary and ecological consequences. During food handling, frugivores ...
Seed dispersal by fishes in tropical and temperate fresh waters: The growing evidence
(Gauthier-villars/editions Elsevier, 2011-11-01)
Fruit-eating by fishes represents an ancient (perhaps Paleozoic) interaction increasingly regarded as important for seed dispersal (ichthyochory) in tropical and temperate ecosystems. Most of the more than 275 known ...
