Stratiomyidae is a diverse family of flies, with more than 2.800 described species, distributed in 367 genera and 12 subfamilies. Its immatures are decomposers of organic matter, and the adults are wasp and bee-mimicking, and often floral visitors. Stratiomyinae is the subfamily of Stratiomyidae with the largest number of described species, with 670, divided into three tribes. Stratiomyini has 25 genera and 460 species, of which 15 genera and 124 species occur in the Neotropical Region. The present study focused on the genera Rhingiopsis Röder, 1886 and Zuerchermyia Woodley, 2001, both Neotropical, with six and five species described, respectively. The last taxonomic study for the genera was carried out in 1979 by James & McFadden, and since then, the genera have not been revised. As a result, the Zuerchermyia and Rhingiopsis were redescribed, making available high-resolution photographs, including descriptions of three new species of Rhingiopsis. Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot, being the Brazilian biome with the greatest susceptibility to human actions. One way to reduce the effects of the decline in the natural environment is the implementation of urban parks, which can act as refuges for insect species in the region. Currently, there are few studies on the insect fauna of the Cerrado, even with the entire habitat loss scenario, and there are even fewer studies on the urban insect fauna in cities located in the biome's landscape. In this sense, we collected 49,224 insects in 15 orders in three urban parks in the city of Goiânia.
Esforços e vieses de coleta em Stratiomyidae (Diptera) no Brasil: investigando padrões e lacunas na taxonomia da família
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2026-02-27) Machado, Gabriela Luiza Carvalho Mendes; Marco Júnior , Paulo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2767494720646648; Fachin, Diego Aguilar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3832054244747247; Fachin, Diego Aguilar; Falaschi, Rafaela Lopes; Souza, Caroline Costa de
The identification of priority areas for biodiversity conservation is hindered by the scarcity of data on the distribution of diverse groups, such as the order Diptera. Despite comprising approximately 160,000 described species, they have been historically neglected, and their richness remains underestimated, necessitating greater taxonomic effort. The family Stratiomyidae exemplifies this scenario due to the still scarce and outdated knowledge about the group. This study aims to address knowledge gaps regarding the occurrence of Stratiomyidae in Brazil by identifying sampling biases and priority areas for collection and conservation. To this end, records from iNaturalist, the Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna, and specialized literature were compiled and standardized using the Darwin Core standard, and the resulting dataset was analyzed in R. Based on geographic verification, maps were produced to identify richness patterns and sampling gaps. The results revealed a strong spatial sampling bias associated with logistical infrastructure (roadside bias) and proximity to research centers, concentrating the majority of records in the South and Southeast regions. Consequently, biomes such as the Amazon and the Pantanal showed critical sampling deficits, with approximately 80% and 68% of their areas lacking any records, respectively. It was also observed that iNaturalist data grew exponentially over the last decade. However, it rapidly reaches saturation in species richness when compared to museum data. Alarmingly, more than 93% of occurrences of the family are outside protected areas. By strengthening the use of entomological databases, this work provides an essential foundation for assessing species threat levels and guiding future investigations, promoting a more comprehensive understanding of Stratiomyidae diversity.

The Bucconidae family comprises 10 genera and 36 species that are endemic to the Neotropical region, with the highest species richness found in the Amazon River Basin. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize the scientific production found in different bibliographic databases concerning the species of the Bucconidae family occurring in Brazil. The survey of publications was conducted through a bibliographic search in the following databases: Web of Science and SCOPUS, using the keywords "Bucconidae" and the scientific names of the species. A total of 35 articles were found for the Bucconidae family, distributed across both databases used for the bibliographic survey. Bibliographies were found for all the genera belonging to the Bucconidae family. Out of the 29 species of the Bucconidae family occurring in Brazil, articles were found for 17 species. The articles covered the period from 1980 to 2020, and the number of articles increased during this period. Six areas of knowledge were identified in which the bibliographies were inserted. Parasitology was the area of knowledge with the highest representation in scientific production for the Bucconidae family in Brazil. Among the seven proposed gaps, the most representative knowledge gap was Hutchinsoniana, encompassing all species of the family.

Advances in the development of nanomaterials have qualified them as essencial elements for several areas, including remediation with applications in safety and environmental health. In the present study, iron nanoparticles (IONP) were synthesized with a size of 2.9 nm and functionalized with citrate. The experiments were carried out with female and male fishes of Poecilia reticulata (guppy) exposed to IONP (0.3 mgFe/L), as to iron ions (0.3 mg/L) (IFe) and to IONP+GLY associations (0.65 mg/L) and IONP + GBH (0.65 and 1.30 mgGLY/L) for 7, 14 and 21 days, followed by post-exposure periods in reconstituted water for 7, 14 and 21 days for evaluation of the ability to recover from damage caused to liver cells and tissues. Thus, the following biomarkers were evaluated: a) histological, with tissue integrity analysis and histopathological index calculation; b) ultrastructural, with evaluation of liver cells, evaluation and quantification of lipid distribution; c) biometrics, with assessment of the condition factor and hepatosomatic index; d) bioaccumulation, with quantification of iron in the fish body. It was found that the nanoparticulate form of iron causes less tissue damage, but greater bioaccumulation compared to the treatment with the ionic form of iron (IFe), in addition, the results indicated that treatments with IONP+GBH have greater toxicity in ultrastructural and histological biomarkers when compared to IONP+GLY. In addition to the assessment of damage from exposure, the data obtained indicated a trend towards recovery of the toxicity caused by all treatments in post-exposure periods equal to or greater than 21 days, for total reversal of the damage. Thus, the data described elucidated how the toxic effects of the association of IONP+GLY occurred, opening new perspectives for studies on the mechanisms of toxicity of IONPs, as well as their possibility of application for environmental remediation.
Influência da localidade no conhecimento e percepção da biodiversidade nas escolas do cerrado goiano
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2022-08-01) Coutinho, César Augusto de Brito; Bastos, Rogério Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6015137404238990; Bastos, Rogério Pereira; Silva, Alessandra Bertassoni da; Maciel, Natan Medeiros
The present research was based on the idea that demographic factors and scientific dissemination activities influence the knowledge and perception of Cerrado biodiversity in cities in the interior of the state of Goiás (Rio Verde and Novo Brasil) and metropolitan regions (Senador Canedo). For this purpose, surveys were proposed to elementary school students from five schools, in order to raise their knowledge about the fauna and phytophysiognomy of the Cerrado, the perception they have about their own knowledge and its relationship with the activities of scientific dissemination. The results are surprising: students from predominantly rural areas and cities in the interior correctly answer more questions related to Cerrado biodiversity and recognize that they have more knowledge about it, in addition, students who participate in more dissemination activities also show better results. The research concludes that the physical proximity to biodiversity is an important factor for the construction of knowledge and that intrinsic factors such as experiencing the concepts and contact with activities and materials for scientific dissemination are important means of making up for the absence of this direct contact.
Resistência à dessecação e morfologia de ovos de Odonata neotropicais
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2020-03-27) Giraldin, Maíra Machado; Marco Júnior, Paulo De; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2767494720646648; Marco Júnior, Paulo De; Arruda, Walquíria; Araújo, Walter Santos de
The Odonata species are distributed along with all kinds of water bodies, being present in streams, lakes, and ponds. Many of them can be found found in fish farming ponds, which provide excellent secondary habitats for species development. However, the larvae provide economic losses to the fish farmers, and the major reason is due to immature fish predation by the Odonata larvae which habit the ponds. During the ponds transition from an activity to another, the fish farmers drain out the ponds, aiming the elimination of pathogens and among them, the Odonata larvae. After the ponds refill, it has been observed in previous studies that the Odonata eggs develop rapidly, leading us to formulate the hypothesis which the species had gone through a selective pressure, which led to the evolution of more resistant eggs to desiccation. We will then, experimentally test the effect of the desiccation in the laboratory studying two neotropical Odonata species: Micrathyria hesperis (Ris 1911) and Perithemis mooma (Kirby, 1889). The hatch efficiencies showed that both species of this study do not suffer the effect of the water absence upon the larvae hatching. This result upholds the 3 hypothesis that eggs from Odonata species in which habitat temporary water bodies exhibit adaptive traits that maximize de immature survival in ephemerous environments. The species Micrathyria hesperis and Perithemis mooma are phylogenetically distant, indicating the desiccation resistance could be distributed among the Odonata.

Environmental behavior can be understood by the Theory of Planned Behavior, in which intention is a precursor of behavior and is determined by attitude, perceived behavioral control and subjective norm. We analyzed the environmental perception and the intention of rural landowners around a mining area to recover degraded areas on their properties. We used the model of planned behavior and intent constructs and added external variables (age, schooling and property size) to find out which characteristics explain intent. We also analyzed the relationships between the constructs themselves. We used factor analysis methods to construct the latent variables from a questionnaire. To test the relationships between these variables and between them and the external variables, we used the multiple regression technique. We found that attitude (r2=0.685; F1.30 =57.84; p<0.001), the subjective norm (r²=0.268; F1.30 = 11; p=0.002) and perceived control (r2= 0.154; F1.30 =5.49; p=0.025) have a positive effect on the intention to recover degraded areas, as well as education (t= 2.224; p= 0.034), but the age and size of the property did not affect the intention. We observed the relationship between and external variables and the constructs. It is important to seek strategies that act on the attitude and subjective norm, since such constructs are the ones that most influence intention, and the greater the intention, the greater the chance of this community to perform pro-environment behaviors.
Atributos morfológios e estrutura de redes de interação beija-flor planta

Biotic specialization plays a central role in the coexistence of species. Many studies address the pollination performed by hummingbirds, however, researches related to the effects of morphological characters of plants and hummingbirds on the specialization of networks are scarce. In this context, this study aims to answer whether i) the dominance of ornithophilous plant species increases the specialization of hummingbird-plant interaction networks?; ii) ornithophilous plants show greater diversity of interactions with hummingbirds than non-ornithophilous plants?; iii) do the size of the beak and the weight of the hummingbird influence the diversity of their interactions? Searches were carried out for studies on hummingbird-plant interactions in the Neotropics. We compiled 24 networks composed of 34 species of hummingbirds, 326 species of plants and 1,182 distinct interactions. We found no effect of the dominance of ornithophilous plants on the structure (connectance and modularity) of the networks. On the other hand, interactions at the species level were influenced by morphological characteristics of plants and hummingbirds. The similarity of plant species interactions was higher for ornithophilous plants than non-ornithophilous plants. This is due to the set of characters present in the group of ornithophilic plants that confer attractiveness to hummingbirds. Thus, hummingbirds tend to visit more similar plant species leading to a greater similarity of interactions. The beak size positively influenced the degree and specialization of hummingbird interactions. The greater number of interactions between hummingbirds with longer beaks is probably a result of the morphological fit between the birds' beak and the flower's corolla. Our findings show that morphological characteristics of hummingbird species and plants directly influence the diversity of interactions of Neotropical hummingbird-plant networks and species specialization. Studies like this provide important information for understanding the factors that structure communities.
Análise da eficiência das unidades de conservação da América do Sul e Caribe para a proteção das espécies de cetáceos

Cetaceans, popularly known as dolphins, whales and dolphins, play very important roles in ecosystems, which are key-species, environmental engineers and umbrella species. However, unfortunately, it is still a group that suffers from several anthropic or natural impacts, which directly affect its protection and conservation. Thus, this work analyzed the efficiency of protection of Protected Areas in South America and the Caribbean for the protection of species belonging to this group. This analysis took place through the GAP Analysis and the IUCN Red Species list, in which, according to the parameters followed, only two species are above this percentage, two have intermediate values and fifty-three are still far from reaching it. In addition, when relating to the IUCN categories, there is no direct relationship. Subsequently, two types of analytical subdivisions were proposed: the first includes the global distribution of species, demonstrating that there is no difference in conservation between the presence or absence of species in the study area. The second is based on a specific cut of the UC's in South America and the Caribbean, showing that there is a difference, where the species that have a more significant presence in the UC's have a higher level of protection. Finally, some measures are proposed to try to change this reality and aim for the efficiency of the PAs and the conservation of species.
Revisão taxonômica de Rhaebo guttatus (Schneider, 1799) (Anura: Bufonidae)

This work deals with the taxonomy of Rhaebo guttatus, a bufonid toad widely distributed in South America. We used both traditional (morphology and morphometry) and modern methodologies (molecular and niche overlap) in order to elucidate the complex taxonomy of the species and define its taxonomic status in Brazil. We first conducted phylogenetic analyses of R. guttatus populations that occur within the Brazilian territory. In addition, we assessed 1040 specimens from museum collections. We obtained a total of 20 morphometric variables in order to investigate whether there was a differentiation among population from different watersheds. Phylogenetic analysis revealed populations from Tocantins-Araguaia (TA) watershed is a subclade of the populations from the Amazon basin (AM). We identified three genetic clusters which were spatially coherent with AM, TA and a contact zone between southern AM and TA. Individuals from AM populations are larger than individuals from TA basin. We found low niche overlap with temperature seasonality and precipitation influencing AM populations and temperature strongly influencing TA population. Sexual dimorphism is also present in R. guttatus. In conclusion, we redescribed R. guttatus based on the holotype but including Brazilian specimens.
Efeitos toxicológicos de nanopartículas de maghemita (γ-Fe2O3) em células e tecidos de Poecilia reticulata

The environmental risk of nanomaterials (NMs) designed and used in nanoremediation process is of emerging concern, but their ecotoxilogical effects to aquatic organism remains unclear. In this present study, the citrate-coated (maghemite) nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized and its genotoxic, mutagenic, the melanomacrophage centers (MMC) response and hepatic histopathological biomarkers were investigated in female guppy. Fish were exposed to IONPs at environmentally relevant iron concentration (0.3 mg L-1) during 21 days and the animals were collected at the beginning of the experiment and after 3, 7, 14 and 21 days of exposure. The genotoxicity and mutagenicity were evaluated in terms of DNA damage (comet assay), micronucleus (MN) test, erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities (ENA) frequency and the liver were dissected and fixed dehydrated through increasing ethanol gradient, immersed in xylene PA, embedded in paraffin, performed of liver sections (5 μm thick) (3 sections per animal) in the microtome, stained by Mallory’s Trichrome and H. E. and analyzed. Results showed differential genotoxic and mutagenic effects of IONPs in the P. reticulata according to exposure time. The IONP induced DNA damage in P. reticulata after acute (3 and 7 days) and long-term exposure (14 and 21 days), while the mutagenic effects were observed only after long-term exposure. The DNA damage and the total ENA frequency increase linearly over the exposure time, indicating a higher induction rate of clastogenic and aneugenic effects in P. reticulata erythrocytes after long-term exposure to IONPs. Guppies exposed to IONPs showed increasing in the number, area and perimeter of MMC when compared to the unexposed ones, especially after 7 days of exposure. The results showed an increase in the frequency of histopathological changes in fish after the 7 days of exposure to IONPs, such micro- and macro-vesicular steatosis, melanomacrophage aggregates, exudate and haemorrhagic foci. The acute (3 and 7 days) and long-term (14 and 21 days) exposure of P. reticulata to IONPs induced high histopathological indexes associated with circulatory disorders and inflammatory responses. Results indicated that blood system and liver tissue of P. reticulata are excellent target organs to studies the ecotoxicity of IONPs. Confirming that P. reticulata is a biomonitor specie indicated for studies of ecotoxicity of IONPs.
