Hemoglobin electrophoretic pattern, whole blood Bohr effect, intraerythrocytic phosphates and some hematological parameters were determined and compared between lotic and lentic Hypostomus regani specimens. The electrophoretic patterns of specimens from both kinds of environments showed four anodic fractions. The relative concentration of the fraction I (the most anodal) is significantly different between specimens from lotic and lentic ambients. Both lentic and lotic specimens presented a low Bohr effect: phi = -0.012 to lentic habitat and phi = -0.187 to lotic one. ATP/GTP ratio are higher than 1.0 for lotic environment specimens and lower than 1.0 for lentic ones.

The connections between aquatic and adjacent terrestrial ecosystem in inland water through cross-habitat subsidies are increasingly recognized. However, we still have a limited understanding on how temporal variations of environmental factors (e.g.

Although the biogeographical pattern and mechanisms underlying microbial assembly have been well-explored in lentic ecosystems, the relevant scenarios in lotic ecosystems remain poorly understood. By sequencing the bacterial communities in bacterioplankton and biofilm, our study detected their distance-decay relationship (DDR), and the balance between deterministic and stochastic processes, along the Kaidu river in an arid and semi-arid region of northwest China. Our results revealed that bacterioplankton and biofilm had significantly contrasting community structures.

Several aquatic ecosystems present favorable conditions for the establishment of freshwater gastropod populations in Maranhão (Brazil). However, research on these snails in this Brazilian state is more focused on Baixada Maranhense, an endemic area for schistosomiasis in Maranhão. Considering the need to expand information on the occurrence of limnic gastropods in Maranhão, a qualitative study was carried out in the Microregion of Lençóis Maranhenses.

During early development, fishes undergo significant changes that influence external morphology and the functioning of internal organs and systems. This often results in gradual variation of the morphological traits of individuals across developmental stages. The investigation of larval and juvenile fish development and growth patterns has pertinent implications for the systematic and ecological elucidation of species.
