A preliminary study on the application of radio-telemetry techniques to describe the movements of fish in a bypass channel at Itaipu Dam (Paraná River), known as “Canal da Piracema,” was carried out between January and February of 2004. Fourteen individuals of six species (Prochilodus lineatus, Leporinus friderici, Schizodon borellii, Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum, Pterodoras granulosus and Cichla...

Taeniids are frequent in dogs of Mediterranean countries and most studies have focused on the zoonotic Echinococcus granulosus, although several other species of cestodes are usually collected. We necropsied 127 stray dogs in two areas of eastern Algeria, in order to characterize the cestode communities and the factors that may structure these communities in conditions where anthelmintic treatm...

Bats are the second most diverse mammal order and they provide vital ecosystem functions (e.g., pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient flux in caves) and services (e.g., crop pest suppression). Bats are also important vectors of infectious diseases, harboring more than 100 different virus types. In the present study, we compiled information on bat communities from the Atlantic Forests of Sou...

SummaryWhile the freezing techniques of mammal embryos have been providing promising results, the cryopreservation of teleostean eggs and embryos have remained unsuccessful up to now. Therefore, this work aimed to develop a procedure of cryogenic preservation of embryos of Prochilodus lineatus and to observe, at both structural and ultrastructural levels, the morphological alterations that took...

Fipronil is a current use pesticide, widely used in many crops, commonly adsorbed to sediments of aquatic environments. The purpose this study was evaluate the biomarker responses and fipronil distribution pattern different matrixes (fish, sediment water) after juveniles P. lineatus exposure at two environmental concentrations (5.5 82 ?g kg ? ?1 ) fipronil-spiked sediments. levels oxidized prot...

New pest management solutions are needed to control soil invertebrates (insects, nematodes, mollusks) in order implement the goals of European Green Deal. Natural volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as 1-octen-3-ol and 3-octanone, emitted by entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum could be part solution. Three major crop pests, Agriotes lineatus (wireworm), Diabrotica virgifera (corn ro...

A group of schools striped eel catfish Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787) was photographed during scuba diving at depths 10 m and 17 on 11 July 2022 24 September from Kızkalesi Boğsak regions in the Mersin Bay Mediterranean coast Turkey. With present study, P. is extending its distribution to western coastal waters after first occurrence 2016 İskenderun Turkish Marine waters.
