The results of Giannini and Paiva Filho (1990) are consistent with those of this present study, i.e., the highest species richness and diversity occurred in

We hypothesised that after 40 years of forest succession, parameters such as diversity (species richness and diversity index), structure (tree density and basal area) and

The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data of Vogel and Eaton (J. of Heat Transfer, Transactions of ASME, vol.107, pp. The paper shows that the

The results indicate that (1) forest disturbance is important for the recruitment of large arborescent palms species, (2) these palms can grow rapidly after an event of

structure of macroinvertebrate community, as near sites showed higher values for the community metrics, such as richness and diversity.. Near sites presented a larger number

We evaluated the hypotheses that (i) copepod assemblage would show an increase in the abundance of organisms, species richness and diversity with the distance from the

We present data primarily on community parameters such as species composition, richness, rela- tive abundance and densities, and secondarily on activity period, body size, estimates

Increasing trends on biomass, richness and diversity of species, and higher concentrations of total phosphorus and nitrogen in the non-preserved areas might indicate that
