Diet of Astyanax Species (Teleostei, Characidae) in an Atlantic Forest River in Southern Brazil
223 Vol.45, N. 2 : pp. 223 - 232, June 2002 ISSN 1516-8913 Printed in Brazil BRAZILIAN ARCHIVES OF BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Diet of Astyanax species (Teleostei, Characidae) in an Atlantic Forest River in Southern Brazil Fábio Silveira Vilella*; Fernando Gertum Becker and Sandra Maria Hartz Laboratório de Ecologia de Vertebrados; Departamento e Centro de Ecologia; Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul; Av. Bento Gonçalves, 9500; Caixa Postal 15007; CEP 91501-970; Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil ABSTRACT Feeding habits of six species of Astyanax from river Maquiné are described. Fishes were sampled bi-monthly from November/95 to September/96 in two zones of the river. Items were identified, counted and had their abundance estimated according to a semi-quantitative scale. Frequency of occurrence, alimentary importance index (IFI) values and a similarity analysis of diets for each species-river zone sample were examined. All the species were considered typically omnivorous, with insects and vegetal matter being the most important items in their diet. These species could act as seed dispersers, particularly for macrophytes. Intra-specific spatial differences were not observed in comparisons of samples from two diferent regions of the river, except for A. fasciatus. The presence of Podostemaceae macrophytes in the mid-course of the river seemed to be important both as an autochthonous food resource and as habitat for several organisms preyed by the Astyanax species. Key words: Diet, seed dispersal, fish, Astyanax, Atlantic Forest, Brazil INTRODUCTION pH, temperature and food resources (Menezes et al., 1990; Uieda and Kikuchi, 1995). The Atlantic Forest includes a large region in Fishes are probably the less known vertebrates in eastern Brazil, from the state of Rio Grande do the Atlantic Forest, partly due to a lack of Norte (north) to Rio Grande do Sul (south). -

(August 2012) Sandra Bibiana Correa Valencia, B.S., Universidad del Valle; M.S., University of Florida Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirk Winemiller Diverse fish species consume fruits and seeds in the Neotropics, in particular in the lowland reaches of large rivers, such as the Amazon, Orinoco, and Paraná in South America. Floodplains of the Amazon River and its lowland tributaries are characterized by marked hydrological seasonality and diverse assemblages of frugivorous fishes, including closely related and morphologically similar species of several characiform families. Here, I investigated whether or not these fishes are capable of detecting fluctuations in food availability and if they are, how they adjust their feeding strategies. -

Comparison of Fish Assemblages in Flooded Forest Versus Floating Meadows Habitats of an Upper Amazon Floodplain (Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, Peru)
COMPARISON OF FISH ASSEMBLAGES IN FLOODED FOREST VERSUS FLOATING MEADOWS HABITATS OF AN UPPER AMAZON FLOODPLAIN (PACAYA SAMIRIA NATIONAL RESERVE, PERU) By SANDRA BIBIANA CORREA A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Sandra Bibiana Correa To my parents and my family. During the course of my life their love and belief in my potential encouraged me to keep going and achieve my dreams. They supported me in all of my decisions even when they separated us for long periods of time. I also dedicate this thesis to Michael Goulding who inspired me to study Amazonian fishes and who is a pioneer in showing their beauty and fragility to the world. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and commitment of my supervisory committee chair (Dr. James S. Albert) and my committee members (Dr. Lauren J. Chapman and Dr. William G.R. Crampton). All of them put lots of energy and time into the development of different aspects of this work. I thank James and Will for the outstanding time we spent in Peru during the field work that was the basis for this thesis. They were also crucial during the writing stage, and I enjoyed great discussions on Amazonian fish natural history and ecology. Lauren was my main support during the data analysis process. Without her, many of the results presented in this thesis may not have come out. I also want to thank my field assistant; B.Sc. -
