Trait-based metrics as bioindicators: Responses of stream fish assemblages to a gradient of environmental degradation
(2017-04-01)
The development of biomonitoring tools is increasingly appealing in light of the increasing degradation of aquatic ecosystems. In this context, we investigated the responses of stream fish communities to the gradient of ...
Leaching potential of S-metolachlor in a medium-textured Oxisol soil with bioindicator plantsPotencial de lixiviação do S-metolachlor em um Latossolo de textura média com plantas bioindicadoras
(2022-01-01)
Information about the impact of herbicides in the soil based on the growth of bioindicator species is extremely useful in developing crop management strategies. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the leaching potential ...
Characterisation of the multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) mechanism in the freshwater snail Physa acuta from Patagonia (Argentina)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-11-13)
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) is a mechanism analogous to multidrug resistance (MDR), which has been extensively characterised in mammalian tumours. The expression and function of the MXR ...
Establishing habitat-specific indicator species in Tierra del Fuego with freshwater macroinvertebrates
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01)
As a tool to understand Tierra del Fuego’s basic ecology and detect changes due to human pressures, this study develops habitat bioindicators. We compared the freshwater benthic macroinvertebrates at 61 study sites in six ...
Edge-interior differences in the species richness and abundance of drosophilids in a semideciduous forest fragment
(2013-04-29)
Habitat fragmentation is the main cause of biodiversity loss, as remnant fragments are exposed to negative influences that include edge effects, prevention of migration, declines in effective population sizes, loss of ...

Helminths of Steindachnerina insculpta in two distinct stretches of the Taquari River, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil
(Brazilian Coll Veterinary Parasitology, 2013-10-01)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the helminth fauna of Steindachnerina insculpta in the Taquari River, a tributary of the Jurumirim reservoir in the state of Sao Paulo, and to investigate whether some helminth ...
Monitoring the morphological integrity of neotropical anurans
(2019-01-30)
Amphibians are considered to be excellent bioindicators to their morphophysiological characteristics and life cycle. In this context, the present study investigated the morphological integrity of anuran larvae collected ...
Andesiops peruvianus (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae): a species complex based on molecular markers and morphology
(2018-01-01)
Andesiops peruvianus is widely distributed in the Andean region and has been preliminarily used as a bioindicator of good water quality. Given the morphological variations that are reported for the species, this study aimed ...
