ABSTRACT We analyzed the microhabitat preferences of Macrobrachium read more jelskii (Miers, 1877) males and females inhabiting an urban water reservoir in Cruz das Almas, Bahia, Brazil.Prawns were collected monthly, from March 2015 to February 2016, in three microhabitats, using a sieve.Each microhabitat was dominated by one macrophyte species: El
Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have proven to be a valuable earthquake resisting system.They demonstrated substantial ability in providing structures with ductility and energy dissipation.However, they are prone to exhibit large residual deformations after earthquake loading because of their low post-yield stiffnesses.In this study, the seismic
This study explored spatio-temporal patterns influencing reef fish richness and abundance in two coastal islands within marine protected areas (MPAs) in southeastern Brazil.Data were collected using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) during the 2022 seasonal cycle, with samples taken day and night.A total of 16 661 individuals from 81 species was re
Introduction: Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) has emerged among pigs in many countries.MRSA in the pig population constitute a reservoir with risk for transmission to humans in close contact with pigs.Absence of MRSA in the top of the breeding pyramid would prevent spread to the rest tokidoki hello kitty b
