| In aquatic ecosystems, competitive interactions are occasionally described. Violent attacks on harbour porpoises by bottlenose dolphins were reported and it was proposed that this behavior could result from competitive interactions for food. This hypothesis implies that the two predators should share all or part of they prey range. In this work, we describe the diets of each predator in the Bay of Biscay and adjacent areas from stomach content analysis of stranded animals. The diet of the harbour porpoise was mostly composed of small schooling fish living close to the seafloor (98 percent by mass). The diet of the bottlenose dolphin was characterised by the presence of large specimens of demersal fish (91 percent by mass) and cephalopods. Several prey... |

| ABSTRACT Tree establishment in pasture areas can be inhibited, at least in part, by exotic grasses allelopathy and this can represent an important limitation by changing the patterns of both germination and seedling growth of tree species. This study aims to evaluate the allelopathic potential of Urochloa brizantha and U. decumbens on germination, growth and metabolism of Guazuma ulmifolia seedlings. We performed bioassays evaluating the effect of the crude ethanol extract and semipurified fractions (hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and ethanol-water fraction) of U. brizantha and U. decumbens using completely randomized design, with four concentrations (0, 250, 500, 1,000 mg L-1) and four replications. The variables analyzed were germination... |
