Transpiration through the Cuticles of Some Aquatic Insects

Spatial and temporal organization of aquatic insects assemblages in the longitudinal gradient of a tropical river.

The distribution and abundance of aquatic insects were studied in the longitudinal gradient of the watershed of Macaé River, a coastal Atlantic Forest river in South-eastern Brazil. Sampling stations were selected in the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth orders and sampled in April, July, and October 1995. This represented the end of the rainy season, the dry season, and the beginning of ...

Importance of Mangrove Carbon for Aquatic Food Webs in Wet–Dry Tropical Estuaries

Mangroves are traditionally considered to provide important nutrition to tropical estuarine consumers. However, there is still controversy about this, and the extent and importance of these inputs are largely unquantified. In particular, there is no information for food webs of small estuaries that dominate wet–dry tropical coasts, where freshwater inflow is intermittent, leading to highly seas...
