Item type: Item , Caminhos para uma agricultura e pecuária sustentáveis: intenções, práticas agroecológicas e desafios climáticos(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2025-06-27) Werneck, Rhayane Pires; Marco Junior, Paulo De; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2767494720646648; Daud, Rodrigo Damasco; Togni, Pedro Henrique Brum; Lima, Edgar Luiz De; Andrade, Andre Felipe Alves De; Marco Junior, Paulo DeAgricultural intensification and the growing demand for food have led to significant environmental challenges, including biodiversity loss, pest proliferation, and climate-driven pressures on production systems. This thesis explores different but interconnected pathways toward more sustainable agriculture and livestock systems by integrating behavioral, ecological, and climatic perspectives. In the first chapter, we investigate the psychological and social factors influencing dairy farmers’ intentions to adopt Best Management Practices (BMPs) in Goiás, Brazil, using the Theory of Planned Behavior. The findings highlight the importance of attitudes and perceived behavioral control, while revealing unexpected resistance linked to social norms. The second chapter presents a systematic review on the use of companion plants for pest suppression in agricultural systems, synthesizing empirical evidence and identifying knowledge gaps regarding traditional practices in Brazil. The results confirm the effectiveness of plant-based strategies, especially intercropping and trap cropping, and advocate for the integration of local ecological knowledge into scientific research. The third chapter models future distributions of three major crop pests (Spodoptera frugiperda, Helicoverpa armigera, and Diatraea saccharalis) under climate change scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5), revealing species-specific responses and potential shifts in pest pressure across the Americas. Collectively, the chapters highlight the need for context-aware strategies that combine technical innovation, farmer engagement, and anticipatory planning to ensure sustainable agricultural transitions in a changing world.Item type: Item , Morfologia prediz ecologia?

This science is multidisciplinary as it relates to other areas of natural science and thus expands possibilities for new discoveries. Investigations that show the advances and possible gaps that may exist in the knowledge of vocalizations are still rare, especially in the tropics. In this research, we reviewed what was published in studies on vocalizations of South American birds and mammals available in the Scopus database between 1962 and 2020. We investigated the impact of the research on the number of articles published, in journals, more focused taxonomic groups, paper authors' affiliations and differences between countries scientific productivity. Studies on bird vocalizations over time have raised. There were taxonomic and geographic biases. Some groups and species are disproportionately more studied than others, such as Passeriformes, Cetartiodactyla and Chiropter. Strong economies had a higher density of publications. Areas such as Animal Behaviour and Bioacoustics were most studied in birds and mammals. We propose that, in the future, research efforts be redirected towards greater attention on species whose acoustic communication has little or no study and, mainly, those ones most endangered species. With these two reviews we hope to be able to contribute to reveal the panorama of what has been studied about vocalizations of South American birds and mammals and, in this way, serve as a guide to help and direct future research.
