Foraminiferal and testate amoeba diversity, distribution and ecology in transitional environments of the Tramandaí Basin (Rio Grande do Sul, South Brazil)

The Brazilian burrowing snake, Gomesophis brasiliensis, occurs in aquatic habitats such as swamps, from Minas Gerais and Distrito Federal until Rio Grande do Sul. In spite of this wide distribution, the species’ geographic range still remains unclear. This note reports the occurrence of G. brasiliensis in the municipality of Vargem Bonita, state of Santa Catarina, south Brazil, extending the species’ range ca. 80 km to the west in this state.

ABSTRACT: In Brazil, at least 30% of the total financial resources provided by the federal government for school feeding should be used to buy products from family farming. The present study examines the profile of the purchase of these products in municipalities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), south Brazil, in 2014. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with information obtained through a questionnaire sent to the municipalities and filled by respondents. Of the 371 participating municipalities, 367 acquired products from family farming, and 86.8% of these municipalities achieved the minimum percentage required. Nutritionists and farmers were the main components involved in the articulation of this process. Difficulties faced by these individuals included the lack of organization of the producers, failure to meet the demand, and lack of interest. More than 80% of the municipalities bought food from the “Vegetables”, “Cereals, Breads, Pasta, and Tubers” and “Fruits” groups. Only 8% purchased products from socio-biodiversity. There was a great diversity of food purchased, most of which were in natura, despite the low acquisition of socio-biodiversity products. Results of this study indicated the concern and tendency of the Brazilian municipalities to support the local economy with incentives to consumption and production of regional foods.

We report new records of the Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea Pontoppidan, 1763 for the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, southernmost Brazil. Birds were in first alternate plumage, apparently overwintering in the region. A literature and museum review revealed the existence of 21 localities with records of this species in Brazil. Ten specimens were obtained in the country, attributable to eight localities. Records from five other localities were documented with band recoveries or photographs. We were able to clarify information from one of the undocumented records, while the remaining requires further investigation and/or documentation. Our review and new information on migration routes confirm that the Arctic Tern in Brazil is a regular, seasonal visitor from the northern hemisphere. We also suggest that waters off south Brazil may be used by overwintering individuals, especially during the austral winter.
