AbstractMansonia spp. are voracious hematophagous mosquitoes whose mature stages usually breed in freshwater bodies containing aquatic vegetation. The reduction in water flow leads to a proliferation in aquatic plants, increasing their populations. Besides, some species are potential vectors of pathogens such as arboviruses and microfilariae. We evaluated the degree of active dispersion of females of Mansonia spp. in the surrounding area of the Jirau hydroelectric power plant in the Amazon, Rondônia, Brazil, using mark-release-recapture techniques. The flight behavior of the recaptured specimens was summarized with a set of average and maximum distances traveled. We show that the dispersal movement of Mansonia spp. is predominantly performed by random, low, and short flights, with a tendency to remain near the breeding sites in certain vegetation fragments. However, the maximum distances traveled were 2000 m from the release point for Mansonia amazonensis during 2018 and Mansonia humeralis during 2019.

O presente trabalho é parte de um projeto desenvolvido pelo Laboratório de Simulídeos e Oncocercose (LSO) do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) na área sob influência da construção da Usina Hidrelétrica Peixe Angical (Enerpeixe) localizada no sul do estado do Tocantins nos municípios de Peixe, Paranã, São Salvador do Tocantins e Palmeirópolis. Foram registradas as espécies Corydalus batesii MacLachlane Corydalus nubilus Erichson (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) apartir de 31 exemplares imaturos analisados. No Brasil, até o momento só haviam sido assinaladas para os estados do Amazonas, Roraima, Rondônia e Pará. Esta é a primeira ocorrência de espécies de Megaloptera no estado do Tocantins. First Record of Corydalus batesii  MacLachlan and Corydalus nubilus Erichson (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) in the State of Tocantins, from Simuliid (Diptera: Simuliidae) Breeding Sites at an area Affected by the Peixe Angical Hydroelectric Power Plant (Brazil) Abstract. In this work was to hold the inventory of entomofauna found at breeding site of simulids (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the area of construction of hydroelectric power Peixe-Angical (Enerpeixe) in study developed by the Laboratory of Simulídeos and Onchocerciasis (LSO) Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC), which was held in south of the State of Tocantins in the municipalities of Peixe, Palmas, São Salvador and Palmeirópolis. Between entomofauna collected, it was possible to identify species Corydalus batesii MacLachlan and Corydalus nubilus Erichson. Thirty one immature specimens were examined. These species in Brazil had been marked only in the Amazon in states, Rondonia, Roraima and Pará. This study reports the first occurrence of species of Megaloptera at Tocantins State.

Abstract Cypripedium calceolus is considered an endangered species in the territory of Poland. Population of this rare species, situated at Lake Kwiecko (Western Pomerania), was regularly monitored in the years 1986-2013. The studied population has been under the permanent influence of the nearby hydroelectric power plant for almost 45 years. The field observations showed that the power plant had no negative impact on the condition of Cypripedium calceolus population. An indication of its good condition was, among others, an increase in the size - from 150 to 350 specimens within the study period.
