Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Oviposition Behavior in Previous Oviposition Situation
(2016-10-01)
Blowflies use their sense of smell to locate oviposition substrates and their vision to direct and assist in landing decision. Blowflies’ ovipositions are usually aggregated. Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) females, for ...
Effects of salinity on growth, competitive interaction and total nitrogen content of two estuarine macrophyte species cultivated on artificial substrate
(2020-01-01)
Salinity can compromise the growth of aquatic macrophytes, influencing their nutrient content and interspecific interactions. In estuaries, the sediment characteristics vary in salinity as well as nutrient availability, ...
Influence of substrate orientation on tadpoles' feeding efficiency
(Company Biologists Ltd, 2019-01-01)
In nature, tadpoles encounter food on substrates oriented at different angles (e.g. vertically along stems, horizontally on the bottom of the pond). We manipulated the orientation of food-covered surfaces to test how ...
Settlement of Gracilaria gracilis carpospores (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) on natural substrates from the southwestern Atlantic coast (Chubut, Argentina)
(de Gruyter, 2014-04)
Gracilaria gracilis is an important agarophyte that is exploited in Argentina by the harvest of detached thalli cast on the shore. Therefore, the study of carpospores is relevant because such spores can be used as inoculum ...
Evaluation of behaviour of Lachancea thermotolerans biocontrol agents on grape fermentations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
Previous researches have showed that Lachancea thermotolerans strains RCKT4 and RCKT5 inhibited the growth of Aspergillus. However, currently, there are no data on their nutritional preferences, as a possible substrate ...
