Knowledge on biodiversity is fundamental for conservation strategies. The Brazilian Pampa region, located in subtropical southern Brazil, neglected terms of conservation, and knowledge its fragmented. We aim to answer the question: how many, which, species occur Pampa? In a collaborative effort, we built lists plants, animals, bacteria, fungi that Pampa. included information distribution patterns, main habitat types, status. Our study resulted referenced totaling 12,503 (12,854 taxa, when...
The Campos Gerais region of Paraná are on an ancient plateau sandstone origin and covered with a diverse vegetation including mainly grasslands various types Atlantic Forest (particularly Araucaria forest). represents important natural capital for biodiversity conservation as well agricultural forestry production. However, little is known the species richness diversity soil macroinvertebrates in this region. In present study we evaluated earthworm occurrence five land use systems (LUS)...
Earthworms are important soil biological indicators, but there is relatively little information on their communities in peri-urban soils and land uses the subtropics. In present paper, we describe earthworm occurrence relationships with biological, chemical physical attributes grass lawns native Atlantic Forest fragments Curitiba metropolitan area, using different sampling methods: quantitative handsorting, formalin extraction qualitative sampling. Overall, 785 individuals, of six families...
Soil animal communities include more than 40 higher-order taxa, representing over 23% of all described species. These animals have a wide range feeding sources and contribute to several important soil functions ecosystem services. Although many studies assessed macroinvertebrate in Brazil, few them been published journals even fewer made the data openly available for consultation further use. As part ongoing efforts synthesise global macrofauna increase amount openly-accessible GBIF other...
The southernmost state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, includes both the Pampa and Atlantic Forest biomes, covers an area around 284 thousand km2. Since last checklist for state, published in 2012, many additional sites have been sampled. Hence, we provide here a full list earthworm species their distribution different municipalities land use systems state. Data were obtained from literature, museums, other collections recent sampling efforts. Records 19 are reported first time, raising total...
Despite the importance of earthworms for soil formation, more is needed to know about how Pre-Columbian modifications soils and landscape. Gaining a deeper understanding essential comprehending historical drivers earthworm communities development effective conservation strategies in Amazon rainforest. Human disturbance can significantly impact diversity, especially rainforest soils, particular case Amazonian rainforest, both recent ancient anthropic practices may be important. Dark Earths...
Abstract: Earthworms are often related to fertile soils and also frequently used as environmental quality indicators. However, optimize their use bioindicators, earthworm populations must be evaluated together with the anthropogenic variables regulating communities. This review sought identify earthworm-sampling, soil chemical physical, attributes in 124 published studies that quantified abundance (>7,300 samples) 765 sites different types of climate, soils, land use, management systems...
Earthworms are important macroinvertebrates that provide soil ecosystem services and also useful environmental bioindicators. Urban areas around the world have major impacts on biodiversity objective of present study was to assess role urban parks Curitiba, Paraná State, in preserving native earthworm species. Earthworm populations were sampled five (Barigui, Tingui, Barreirinha, Passaúna Botanic Garden), two land use systems (grass lawns secondary forest fragments) seasons, summer (November...
Earthworm populations often increase with the adoption of no-tillage (NT) practices, but few studies have evaluated earthworm diversity in these agroecosystems. In present study we assessed species richness 40 sites under NT and six native Atlantic forest fragments Western Paraná, Southern Brazil. At each site earthworms were sampled quantitatively (n=5) qualitatively (n=5), by handsorting soil monoliths (20 x 20 cm width depth), totaling 460 samples overall. Earthworms killed fixed 96%...
Amazonian rainforests, once thought to be pristine wilderness, are increasingly known have been widely inhabited, modified, and managed prior European arrival, by human populations with diverse cultural backgrounds. Dark Earths (ADEs) fertile soils found throughout the Amazon Basin, created pre-Columbian societies sedentary habits. Much is about chemistry of these soils, yet their zoology has neglected. Hence, we characterized soil fertility, macroinvertebrate communities, activity at nine...
No-tillage (NT) is a soil conservation management practice that can sustain important earthworm populations due the maintenance of cover and absence disturbance. Sites with NT also support native species, but few studies have identified earthworms collected under NT. Therefore, present study evaluated diversity in 14 sites seven riparian forest (RF) Atlantic Forest located Rolândia, Cambé, Toledo (Paraná), Coxilha, Sarandi (Rio Grande do Sul) Itaí (São Paulo). The were by handsorting using...
In grape berry pedicel, xylem hydraulic conductance can be impaired by blockage deposition in the lumen of elements. However, varietal difference interruptions has not yet been characterized. this preliminary work, we utilized synchrotron x-ray computed microtomography experiments performed at MOGNO beamline (LNLS – Brazil) to identify possible sites natural pedicel xylem. For this, imaged dehydrated pedicel's stem portion from Niagara Rosada variety three different phenological stages...
Abstract Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) are fertile anthropic soils found throughout Amazonia, resulting from long-term occupation by pre-Columbian societies. Although the chemistry of these is well known, their biodiversity, particularly soil invertebrate communities have been neglected. To address this, we characterised macroinvertebrate and activities in ADEs, comparing them with adjacent reference under forests agriculture, at nine archaeological sites. We 667 morphospecies a tenacious...

Despite the importance of earthworms for soil formation, little is known about how Pre-Columbian modifications to soils and landscape can affect earthworm communities. Human disturbance significantly impact diversity, especially in rainforest and, particular case Amazonian rainforest, both recent ancient anthropic practices may be important. Dark Earths (ADEs) are that show high fertility found throughout Amazon Basin, created by sedentary habits intensification patterns pre-Columbian...
The state of Goiás and the Federal District together cover an area about 346 thousand km2, including diversified Cerrado vegetation, also known as Brazilian Savanna, a biodiversity hotspot with many endangered endemic species. Much has been converted to agriculture, but little is its earthworms, impacts land use management agricultural practices on their density diversity. In present paper we review earthworm species in based historical museum records, update information distribution...
