REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE SADDLE CICHLID, AEQUIDENS TETRAMERUS (HECKEL, 1840) (CICHLIFORMES: CICHLIDAE), IN SMALL FOREST STREAMS IN THE MACHADO RIVER BASIN, SOUTHWESTERN AMAZONIA

Reproductive biology of the saddle cichlid, Aequidens tetramerus (Heckel, 1840) (Cichliformes: Cichlidae), in small forest streams in the Machado River basin, southwestern Amazonia

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive strategy of Aequidens tetramerus in small streams of the Machado river basin, southwestern Amazon.We collected samples CD Recorder in two streams using seine and dip nets along a 50-m stretch of the stream.We collected 86 fishes, 19 males and 67 females (sex-ratio, 3.52 female:1male).Their body

A Rab6 to Rab11 transition is required for dense-core granule and exosome biogenesis in Drosophila secondary cells.

Secretory cells in glands and the nervous system frequently package and store proteins destined for regulated secretion in dense-core granules (DCGs), which disperse when released from the cell surface.Despite the relevance of this dynamic process to diseases such as diabetes and human neurodegenerative disorders, our mechanistic understanding is r
