Article Synopsis
- Neotropical regions are critical for freshwater fish diversity and ecosystem services, but human activities like land use changes threaten these ecosystems.
- The study examines how human disturbances impact the foraging ecology of freshwater fishes in Brazil by analyzing stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to understand changes in fish diets.
- Results indicate that increased human disturbance correlates with higher assimilation of carbon from non-native sources in fish diets, while nitrogen levels showed no significant change, highlighting the need for specific site analysis for better understanding of aquatic food webs.
Between July 2008 and May 2010, we conducted a trophic study on 12 Brazilian wild carnivore species through their faecal analysis in a silvicultural landscape at Angatuba municipality, southern São Paulo state. Predator faeces was identified by morphology, predator hair, and surrounding tracks; prey remnants within faeces were used for morphological identification of the prey. Among the recovered ectoparasites, there were 89 specimens of six tick species in 21 (4.
