Variação morfométrica e demográfica em Phaleria testacea Say (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) de duas praias do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

ABSTRACT. MORPHOMETRV ANO ABUNOANCE OF PIIAI.ERIA TESTAO::A SA V (COLEOPTERA. TENEBRIONIDAE) FROM TWO BEACHES OI" RIO DE lA IEIRú. The spccies Phalerla leslacea Say, 1824 (Coleoptera. Tenebrionidae) varies a 101 in size, and its populations along lhe coaS! af BrazH. where it lives buried in sandy beaches, have temporal and geographical variatian in density. In arder to find oul which factors were contributing to these varialions, we sampled populalions from three diffcrcnl arcas in Rio de Janeiro, during summer and wintcr. Simultaneously, wc madc an analysis af lhe dirrcrcnt substracts whcrc lhe individuais wcrc found, inc1udingIhcir total frcsh weight. "lnc rcsults show a significant diffcrcnce in size af individuais betwccn and wilhin populations, when summer and winter werc compared. There is also a positive association between lhe population densily of P. t~slacra and lhe amount of "garoagc" found ai the study arcas.

Dichotic Listening Test (directed attention mode) in children with cleft lip and palate

“…OME is frequently found in this population as the palatine muscles have not fused, thus reinforcing the idea that middle-ear hypoventilation may induce the onset of otitis media with effusion. As the palatine tensor and elevator muscles do not have support on the contralateral side, they cannot effectively open the Eustachian tube due to the deformities present in the cartilaginous framework 3 .…”

Evoked Response Audiometry according to gender and age: findings and usefulness

“…Thus, the acoustic stimulation of the human auditory receptor triggers a number of electrical responses, or evoked potentials, which result in the successive activation of the cochlea and the neurons which make up the auditory pathway. 1 …”
