Species-specific behaviour and environmental drivers of trap interactions in wild ornamental fishes.

J Fish Biol

The harvest of animals from the wild is a pervasive selective force, especially in fisheries, where harvesting often targets individuals with specific traits. While most research has focused on large-scale commercial or recreational fisheries, little attention has been paid to artisanal fisheries, particularly those targeting ornamental species. Furthermore, environmental factors such as temperature and oxygen levels influence the behaviour of fishes, such as boldness and sociability, but their role in the harvesting process remains poorly understood.

Social wasps make up a significant part to the diversity of the Hymenoptera order, one of the most varied insect groups. Beyond their ecological importance, these insects use their venom for defense, protecting their colonies. The venom of social wasps are rich in biologically active substances, including biogenic amines, peptides, proteins, enzymes, allergens, and volatile compounds.

The Brazilian Amazon estuary is a highly dynamic environment, characterized by substantial organic matter input and a rich diversity of fish species that utilize this ecosystem for feeding and reproduction. Despite its ecological relevance, ichthyo-parasitological research in the region remains limited, particularly regarding the diversity of parasitic species within the class Myxozoa. Among the fish species for which parasitological data are still scarce is the Pacamã frogfish, Batrachoides surinamensis (Bloch and Schneider, 1801), a demersal species that feeds on small invertebrates and fish.

Ectoparasites of opossum's (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) captured in an urban complex in the Northern Brazilian amazon: new hosts and research on hemotropic bacteria.

Ticks and mites are important ectoparasites that affect animal and human health, directly causing harm and acting as vectors of pathogens. This study investigated the ectoparasites of synanthropic didelphids marsupials in northern Amazonia, Brazil, and screened them for hemotropic bacteria. The study was carried out in October 2022 in the metropolitan region of Macapá, Amapá State, Brazil, in vegetation remnants characterized by terra firme rainforest, alluvial forest, and savanna.
