Abstract Background Fire significantly transforms ecology and landscapes worldwide, impacting carbon cycling, species interactions, ecosystem functions. In the Brazilian Cerrado, a fire-dependent savanna, interaction between fire, society, environment is evident. Given that wildfires contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, our study aimed analyze four decades of burned area data understand changes in fire dynamics, using Collection 2 annual MapBiomas maps (1985 2022). Our examined...
Abstract Fire management is an important issue in the Brazilian Cerrado, since both anthropogenic high intensity fires and complete fire suppression can reduce biodiversity this biome. In paper, we highlight trends scientific literature about effects aiming to detect possible gaps indicate directions of future research. We searched for articles periodic database Web Knowledge from 1991 2016, observed increase number publications throughout years. Most were associated with institutions (58%),...
The leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens (Linnaeus) and laevigata (Smith) were parasitized by the following phorid flies: Apocephalus attophilus Borgmeier, vicosae Disney, Myrmosicarius grandicornis Borgmeier species of Eibesfeldtphora Disney. It is also related here that area occurrence phorids parasitizing A. was extended to include Central Brazil. rate parasitism on three times lower than found laevigata; most common flies were, respectively, M. in laevigata. This last showed shortest life span...
Disturbances are key events in ecological systems, strongly impacting biological communities. This study disentangles the effects of a chronic (flood) and acute (fire) disturbance to determine their interactive on ant species richness composition at different temporal scales. For this, we sampled ground-dwelling ants with pitfall traps native grasslands Pantanal wetland, one world's largest floodplains. We ten days (short-term), year (medium-term), four years (long-term) after fire varying...
Interspecific interactions are influenced by several environmental factors that may affect spatial and temporal dynamics. Seasonal variations in conditions differences among sites the intensity of abundance interacting species. In this study, we describe variability parasitoids Atta ants seasons over a year. More specifically, studied parasitoidism sexdens Linnaeus laevigata Smith nests at site with native cerrado vegetation Eucalyptus monoculture dry rainy seasons. Of 45,147 workers...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, regulators plant growth reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used bioindicators the impact land use. We gathered information ant species Atlantic Forest South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part SERIES papers, a compilation records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished (29,651 published...
Fire is a natural disturbance in many ecosystems worldwide, including tropical savannas, where it drives the assembly of animal and plant communities. The effect fire often indirect, impacting availability essential resources like food shelter. Brazilian Cerrado largest savanna world, ants comprise very high proportion its biomass. About one-third ant fauna actively forages canopy. These use trees not just search but also as their main shelter resource, most arboreal nest mainly cavities...
Do ponto de vista da sustentabilidade, os sistemas agroecologicos sao mais adequados ao controle pragas do que quimicos tradicionais, em decorrencia manutencao dos processos ecologicos entre diversos elementos compoem a paisagem. Apesar presenca varias especies inimigos naturais, as formigas cortadeiras importantes cultivos no Brasil. Neste estudo, testamos o efeito simplificacao ambiental sobre biologico sauva comparando taxa parasitismo por moscas (Phoridae) ambientes monocultura e ...
Leaf-cutting ants are distributed exclusively in the Americas. For this study, we sampled different areas of native vegetation and monocultures to survey leaf-cutting that occur State Goiás, what environments they associated. We recorded six species ants: Atta sexdens, laevigata, Acromyrmex subterraneus, disciger, ambiguus, hispidus. The last four were registered for first time Goiás.
Solenopsis saevissima (Smith) is associated with a group of nine Pseudacteon Coquillett species in Brazil.Pseudacteon affinis Borgmeier, dentiger Borgmeier and disneyi Pesquero were created laboratory from parasitized workers S. saevissima. The other phorid grew only until the pupa phase due to low temperature humidity when kept climatic chamber. cultellatus was more efficient than species, taking 12 days kill host workers. Similar parasitizingSolenopsis invicta Buren, daily period activity...
Underground burrow nests of three bird species: Amazonian Motmot Momotus momota, Rufous-tailed Jacamar Galbula ruficauda and Swallow Tanager Tersina viridis were monitored for eight years on stream banks, in a Seasonal Semideciduous Forest, to enable determining whether, or not, being excavator is associated with nest predation, how important the role played by dimensions this nesting system is. Predation was main cause failures, although there no significant difference predation between...
Natural history comprises important biological aspects in the establishment of public policies for biodiversity conservation. Climate change has expanded this challenge, making it necessary to evaluate and predict its negative impacts on systems. In context, we evaluated effect that floods have reproductive success birds like Amazonian motmot (Momotus momota), rufous-tailed jacamar (Galbula ruficauda), swallow tanager (Tersina viridis) nest banks Maria Lucinda stream municipality Morrinhos,...
Attacobius lavape, a small spider from the Corinnidae family, has been recently described living inside fire ant colony of Solenopsis saevissima species in municipality Morrinhos, south region Goiás State, Brazil. Yet several aspects this relationship with host remain unknown. In way, we performed an extension study to determine its local (Morrinhos) and regional (latitudinal transect) occurrence. We also investigated if uses as feeding source. For this, established arenas known number young...
Abstract: The first case of parasitoidism a Myrmicinae ant by sarcophagid fly has been observed in the Brazilian Cerrado. larva Helicobia Coquillet (Sarcophagidae) specimen fed on head tissues an Atta laevigata Smith, 1858 soldier and adult male emerged from puparium formed outside host.
Environmental issues emerge in complex dimensions, which require an interdisciplinary framework Sciences. Due to the diversity statistic methods, graduate programs need update form environmental scientists. We test hypothesis that QUALIS A1 Journals Science area use more statistical analyses. describe tests offered by with PhD degree 33.5% of 1560 papers evaluated, didn’t present analysis. used T-test, Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney than B1 Journals.

Abstract Despite the increasing amount of knowledge available regarding ecological interactions between species, dynamics anurans in aquatic environments are little explored and understood. In this way, our work aims to assess which factors influence composition hylid oxbow lakes middle Purus River, Amazonas. We sampled three with high, medium low levels connectivity twice, once during flood then drought hydrological regimes. Variations anuran assemblages were tested as function...
