Wallacean Shortfall

ABSTRACTAccording to the Wallacean shortfall, knowledge about the geographic distribution of most species is still incomplete. Cryptonanus agricolai (Moojen, 1943) is a didelphid marsupial considered Data Deficient by IUCN, since species records are few and sparse. Although little information is available for the species, it is commonly associated with xeric habitats from Caatinga and open formations of the Cerrado in east-central Brazil. Here we report the first records of C. agricolai in the Atlantic Forest core, a new ecoregion of occurrence for the species, based on a recent collected voucher - identified through morphological and molecular analysis - from a Mussununga formation in Reserva Biológica do Córrego do Veado, southeastern Brazil. This record extends the occurrence of the species to more than 1 700 000 km2 and lower its altitudinal range limit to 108 m.RESUMOAmpliação da distribuição de Cryptonanus agricolai (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) e primeiro registro no centro da Mata Atlântica. De acordo com a Lacuna Wallaceana, o conhecimento sobre a distribuição geográfica da maioria das espécies está incompleto. Cryptonanus agricolai (Moojen, 1943) é um marsupial didelfídeo classificado pela IUCN na categoria Dados Insuficientes, uma vez que os registros existentes são poucos e esparsos. Embora haja pouca informação disponível para tal espécie, ela é comumente associada a habitats xéricos da Caatinga e formações abertas do Cerrado no centro-leste do Brasil. Aqui relatamos os primeiros registros de C. agricolai na Mata Atlântica, notadamente uma nova ecorregião de ocorrência para a espécie, com base em um espécime recentemente coletado – e identificado através de análises morfológicas e moleculares - em formação de Mussununga na Reserva Biológica do Córrego do Veado, sudeste do Brasil. Nossos achados ampliam a ocorrência da espécie para mais de 1 700 000 km2 e estabelece novo limite inferior de altitude para 108 m. Palavras-chave. Corredor Central da Mata Atlântica.

A New Species

Chresta filicifolia is described and illustrated. It is a perennial herb known only from open vegetation on top of small rock outcrops at the Rio Doce Valley in Eastern Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. This is the first record of a species of Chresta endemic to a phytogeographic domain other than the Cerrado and Caatinga, since those outcrops are included in the Mata Atlântica Domain (Atlantic Forest). The new species is closely related to C. harleyi and C. hatschbachii, but differs from these by its leaves, which are larger and more deeply lobed than those of the other two species, and also by its florets and cypselae, which are both larger in Chresta filicifolia. Moreover, the two other species are allopatric from C. filicifolia, being restricted to the Caatinga Domain. The southernmost distribution of C. harleyi lies more than 500 km away from the locality where the new species is found, making this discovery unexpected, and raising interesting biogeographical questions, which are briefly addressed here.

RESUMO. A fauna de Passalidae é pouco conhecida no Sudeste do Brasil, uma região com domínio de Mata Atlântica que inclui uma fitofisionomia tropical típica da costa brasileira, com elementos distintos de geologia e geografia. O estudo foi conduzido em sete unidades de conservação do bioma de Mata Atlântica e forneceu uma lista das espécies de Passalinae com mapas de distribuição dos gêneros para a região Sudeste. A diversidade de Passalidae do Sudeste do Brasil incluiu 44 espécies, das quais 37 apresentam registros nas áreas de conservação com base no material coletado que recuperou 30 espécies. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus Dalman, 1817, Passalus (Passalus) denticollis  Kaup, 1869 e Passalus (Passalus) punctiger Lepeletier &Serville, 1825 foram as espécies mais abundantes, representando 49% dos indivíduos coletados. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus é a espécie mais abundante no bioma do Sudeste. Com base em uma ampla amostra de material examinado de diversas instituições, assinalamos 25 novas localidades, sendo 11 novos registros para estados do Brasil e sete registros para outros países da América do Sul, promovendo acréscimos para a distribuição das espécies do Sudeste do Brasil. Passalus nasutus  Percheron, 1835 tem novos comentários taxônomicos para elucidar um problema com Passalus (Passalus) curtus Kaup, 1869, onde o primeiro é restrito ao Brasil e o segundo a Colômbia.ABSTRACT. The Passalidae fauna is poorly known in the southeasternof Brazil, a region with Atlantic Forest thatincludes typical tropical phyto-physiognomies of the Brasilian coast, with distinctive geology and geography. This is the first study in seven areas of conservation of the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil, and intends to list the species of Passalinae. Actually, the diversity of Passalidae fauna from southeastern of Brazil increase to 44 species, of which 30 were collected and are accurately recorded in remnants of Atlantic Forest biome. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus Dalman, 1817, Passalus (Passalus) denticollis Kaup, 1869 and Passalus (Passalus) punctiger Lepeletier & Serville, 1825 were the most abundant, representing over 49% of individuals. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus is one of the most typical species from the Atlantic Forest biome in the Southeast. Based on a large sample of material examined from several institutions, we found 25 new locations, 11 new records for the states of Brazil and seven records to other countries in South America, promoting additions to the distribution of species in Southeast Brazil. Passalus nasutus Percheron, 1835 have new unambiguous comemmts to elucidate Passalus (Passalus) curtus Kaup, 1869, where the former species is restricted to Brazil and the latter is restricted to Colombia.

Pastagens sob práticas de manejo ineficientes tornam-se degradadas, provocando sérios problemas socioambientais e econômicos. Assim, entender a dinâmica dos sistemas pastoris e suas interações com o meio físico torna-se essencial na busca de alternativas sustentáveis para a agropecuária. Estudou-se manejo, dinâmica anual e interações socioambientais em pastagens de uma bacia hidrográfica no bioma Mata Atlântica em Minas Gerais, Brasil, durante o ano hidrológico 2016/2017. Utilizou-se dados de campo, relatos de agricultores e sensoriamento remoto via imagens LANDSAT 8 OLI e Google Earth Pro®. Foi proposto um índice de qualidade para pastagens da região. As pastagens apresentaram, em média, qualidade moderada. Níveis de degradação foram altos, oscilando de forma quadrática (níveis 2, 4, 5 e IDP) e potencial (nível 1) com a precipitação (p < 0,01), o que sugere que a irrigação possa ser prática eficiente no controle da degradação. Durante o ano, pelo menos 51,27% das pastagens apresentaram algum sinal de degradação, atingindo-se a marca de 91,32%, no período seco. Os resultados sugerem pior qualidade e maiores níveis de degradação de pastagens em terras elevadas e declivosas. Devido às condições socioambientais locais, indica-se o uso de sistemas silvipastoris agroecológicos no manejo das pastagens.Palavras-chave: uso da terra, sensoriamento remoto, relação solo paisagem, Zona da Mata, índice de qualidade. MANAGEMENT, QUALITY AND DEGRADATION DYNAMICS OF PASTURES IN ATLANTIC FOREST BIOME, MINAS GERAIS – BRASIL ABSTRACT:Pastures under inefficient management practices get degraded, leading to serious socioeconomic and environmental issues. That being said, understanding the dynamics of such systems and their interaction with the environment is essential when it comes to looking towards sustainable alternatives for livestock activities. The management, annual dynamics and socio-environmental interactions in pastures in an hydrographic basin located in Atlantic Forest biome, Minas Gerais, Brasil, were studied during the hydrological year of 2016/2017. Field data and farmers reports were utilized, such as remote sensing via images from LANDSAT 8 OLI and Google Earth Pro®. A quality index was proposed for the pastures, which usually presented medium quality. Degradation levels were high, oscillating in a quadratic basis (levels 2, 4, 5 and IDP) and potential (level 1) with precipitation (p < 0,01), which suggests that irrigation might be an efficient practice when it comes to degradation control. During the year, at least 51,27% of pastures have presented signs of degradation, achieving 91,32% in dry periods. The results suggest less quality and bigger degradation levels in pastures located in high and steep areas. Considering the local environmental conditions, agroecological silvopasture systems are recommended regarding the pastures management.Keywords: land use, remote sensing, soil/landscape relationships, Zona da Mata, quality index.

We present a new record of the Crested Eagle, Morphnus guianensis (Daudin, 1800), a rare forest eagle of the Neotropics on 22 May 2012 at a Cerrado area in Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. The species has only two historical records in the state, both at areas formerly covered by Atlantic Forest. The finding raises the expectations for the maintenance of the species in the state, stressing the fact that this is the first species record in a Cerrado area in Eastern Brazilian states.
