Group composition and activity patterns of brown-nosed coatis in savanna fragments, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

چکیده
The Parque Estadual do Prosa (PEP), in Campo Grande, MS, is an urban fragment of savanna (cerrado) and tall savanna woodland (cerradão), with an area of 1,335 km(2), where the population density of brown-nosed coatis is 33.71 individuals/km(2). Our results suggest that seasonality at the PEP causes changes in the availability of resources for coatis, altering their home range areas, their dispersion patterns and their daily behaviour. And our observations regarding male-band associations, agonistic interactions between bands and their daily behaviour emphasize the plasticity of coati social structure, and its potential for future comparative studies.

High Levels of Sunflower Crushed in Diets for Feedlot F Lambs Depress the Performance and Carcass Quality
This study aimed to evaluate the performance, some carcass characteristics from feedlot lambs receiving sunflower crushed (SC) in the diet on partial replacement of soybean meal. The experimental design was randomized block with four levels of SC in the diet (0, 10, 20 and 30% of dry matter (DM)). There was a linear reduction of 0.02; 0.003; 0.003 and 0.17% for each percentage unit of added SC ...

The possibility of hydroxylamine electrochemical determination over a CoO(OH)-modified electrode, accompanied by complex-formation, has been studied from the theoretical point of view. The correspondent mathematical model has been developed and analyzed by means of linear stability theory and bifurcation analysis. It was shown that CoO(OH) may be applied as an efficient electrode modifier i...
