Conservation Units are an important tool for the Brazilian biota protection. However, various taxa, including the social wasps, are undersampled or are unknown in these areas. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the social wasp richness and distribution in the Conservation Units in Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. The social wasps were sampled between 2015 and 2019 in the Ritápolis National Forest (FLONA Ritápolis), in the Alto-Montana Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN Alto-Montana), in the Rio Machado Basin State Environmental Protection Area (APA Rio Machado) and in the Serra de São José Environmental Protection Area (APA Serra de São José), using two different sampling methodologies. Fourteen species were sampled for FLONA Ritápolis, 10 for RPPN Alto-Montana, 35 for APA Rio Machado and 19 for APA Serra de São José. Ninety-six social wasp species of the known richness in Minas Gerais were sampled in 14 Conservation Units, representing 90% of the fauna of the state. Thirty-four species are exclusive to these areas, with emphasis on the Rio Doce State Park, the Serra do Papagaio State Park, the Pandeiros River Wildlife Regufe and the APA Rio Machado. Most of the Conservation Units sampled are in the Atlantic Forest areas, but further efforts are needed in this biome, because of its accelerated destruction. There is still an urgent need for more studies in the Cerrado and Caatinga areas in the state, especially in Conservation Units.

AbstractThis review aims to study the main aspects of Maranhense East Mesoregion Biogeography of the state portion has suffered socio-economic and cultural changes, besides environmental conflicts due to the advance of capitalist agriculture as soy and eucalyptus agribusiness. The Maranhense East Mesoregion is formed by the union of 44cities grouped into six microregions: Chapadinha, Coelho Neto, Baixo Parnaíba Maranhense, Chapada do Alto Itapecuru, Codó, and Caxias. Historically, this mesoregion had its occupation linked to peripheral areas to the large cotton plantations of the Itapecuru and cattle creation in Pastos Bons, in the XVII and XVIII century. The economy of this mesoregion is mainly based on Eucalyptus for pulp and paper, soybean, maize, and sugarcane. It must be emphasized that the introduction of the soybean, sugarcane, the expansion of eucalyptus and the charcoal production increased the pollution of the rivers and the destruction of native resources. The lack of inspection as to legal reserve areas in rural properties and the lack of conservation units in this region may be considered as aggravating in relation to the intense expansion of agricultural activities. The vegetation of the Maranhense East Mesoregion encompasses several formations, being basically characterized by the forests of babassu and the areas of cerrado latu senso, besides the small patches of Caatinga near the border with the state of Piaui and transitional formations. The climate is typical of tropical zones, predominantly As in the Parnaíba Delta region and the Aw throughout the rest of the mesoregion, with annual average temperatures between 24°C to 28°C and precipitation index with values between 1800mm to 1000mm. The studied mesoregion has only five Conservation Unit: Mirador State Park, Morros Garapenses State Environmental Protection Area, Parnaíba Delta Environmental Protection Area, Parnaíba Delta Marine Extractive Reserve, Chapada Limpa Extractive Reserve.Keywords: Maranhão geography. Environmental conservation. Socioeconomic aspects.CARACTERIZAÇÃO BIOGEOGRÁFICA DA MESORREGIÃO LESTE MARANHENSE (BRASIL)ResumoEsta revisão tem como objetivo estudar os principais aspectos da Biogeografia da Mesorregião Leste Maranhense, porção do estado que tem sofrido mudanças socioeconômicas e culturais, além de conflitos ambientaisdevido ao avanço da agricultura capitalista como o agronegócio da soja e eucalipto. A Mesorregião Leste Maranhense é formada pela união de 44 municípios agrupados em seis microrregiões: Chapadinha, Coelho Neto, Baixo Parnaíba Maranhense, Chapadas do Alto Itapecuru, Codó e Caxias. Historicamente, esta mesorregião teve sua ocupação ligada às áreas periféricas às grandes plantações de algodão do Itapecuru e criação de gados em Pastos Bons, no século XVII e XVIII. A economia desta mesorregião baseia-se principalmente no Eucalipto para a produção de celulose e papel, soja, milho e cana-de-açúcar. Deve-se ressaltar que a introdução da soja, da cana-de-açúcar, a expansão do eucalipto e a produção de carvão vegetal aumentaram a poluição dos rios e a destruição de recursos nativos. A falta de fiscalização quanto às áreas de reserva legal nas propriedades rurais e a falta de unidades de conservação nesta região, podem ser consideradas como agravantes em relação à expansão intensa das atividades agropecuárias. A cobertura vegetal da mesorregião Leste maranhense engloba várias formações, sendo basicamente caracterizada pelas florestas de babaçu e pelas áreas de cerrado lato senso, além das pequenas manchas de caatinga próximas à fronteira com o estado do Piauí e formações transicionais. O clima da região é característico das zonas tropicais, predominantemente As na região doDelta do Parnaíba e o Aw em todo o restante da mesorregião, com temperaturas médias anuais entre 24 °C até 28 °C e índices de precipitação pluviométrica com valores entre 1800 mm a 1000 mm. A mesorregião estudada apresenta apenas cinco Unidades de Conservação: Parque Estadual do Mirador, Área de Proteção Ambiental Estadual dos Morros Garapenses, Área de Proteção Ambiental do Delta do Parnaíba, Reserva Extrativista Marinha do Delta do Parnaíba, Reserva Extrativista de Chapada Limpa.Palavras-chave: Geografia do Maranhão.

Ecological Tourism

Ecological tourism stands out as an economic activity that can be reconciled with nature conservation. Such activities have been carried out in several conservation units in Brazil. However, for satisfactory implementation, it is necessary to effectively plan the activities to be conducted, places to be visited, and paths to reach those places. In this context, we aimed to assess whether Google Earth software can assist in the expansion of the plan to use these areas for ecotourism, especially the routes that may be taken by tourists within the conservation unit. For this purpose, tourist interest sites were defined in the State Environmental Protection Area of Rio Pandeiros in the northern region of the state of Minas Gerais. The shortest routes between the pairs of locations obtained using Google Earth and QGIS software were evaluated. Additionally, it was necessary to perform vectorization and classification of all roads in the area. The lengths of the paths obtained were compared using a method identity test. The results showed that for most routes, Google Earth showed longer paths than QGIS. It can be concluded that for the purpose of ecotourism, precise planning should consider the vectorization of roads in areas with many rural roads.

ABSTRACT Dimorphandra mollis is native to the Brazilian Savanna and has social, economic and environmental importance. This study aimed to evaluate the yield and diametric distribution of Dimorphandra mollis Benth. in the Pandeiros River Environmental Protection Area, in Bonito de Minas, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Five areas were assessed, totaling five hectares (50 plots of 1,000 m2). The total number of plants, yield per plant (2018, 2019 and 2020) and diameter at breast height were recorded, considering all trees from the plots in diametric classes. The average diameter at breast height of all plants was 6.05 ± 3.07 cm, and that of the plants that produced in at least one of the evaluated years was 7.46 ± 3.15 cm. The diametric distribution showed classes with no individuals, indicating imbalance, as well as a trend to inverted “J” shape. The maximum annual yield was 8.08 kg ha-1 of dry fruits (2019), the minimum 0.42 kg ha-1 (2018), and the average 2.74 kg ha-1, with biennial characteristic.

Atualmente a Mata Atlântica é um dos biomas mais fragmentados. O objetivo deste estudo foi diagnosticar a fragilidade ambiental da Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) Alto Rio Doce em Minas Gerais, por meio da caracterização da distribuição da fragmentação local, bem como da pressão sobre a vegetação. A caracterização da vegetação foi feita por classificação supervisionada, por meio da imagem captada pelo sensor OLI presente no Landsat 8. Apenas 22,3% de toda a extensão da APA, que contém 23.329 hectares, apresenta vegetação, sendo composta por muitos pequenos fragmentos. Além disso, a APA é cortada por estradas, sendo uma delas pavimentada e estadual, o que agrava a situação da fragmentação dos habitats, causando danos tanto a espécies animais quanto vegetais. Concluiu-se que para atingir seus objetivos é preciso a elaboração de um plano de manejo para a área, além de alternativas que permitam a popularização da APA tornando-a mais conhecida pela população local.

O Notorynchus cepedianus pertencente à família Hexanchidae (cação-sete-guelras), é uma espécie de rara ocorrência e está distribuído nas zonas tropicais a temperadas dos três oceanos, comumente encontrado em águas costeiras, baías e estuários, presente de zero a 570 m, normalmente a 80 m de profundidade, e pode atingir três metros de comprimento total. O cação-bruxa está listado como Criticamente em Perigo pelo ICMBio e IUCN, apesar do cadastro na categoria DD (Dados Deficientes), por falta de informações. Existem registros anteriores de N. cepedianus no litoral paulista, o primeiro registro ocorreu com uma fêmea capturada na região de Cananéia (1968) e o segundo uma fêmea com embriões no litoral paulista (1999). O exemplar deste estudo foi capturado em rede-de-emalhe da pesca artesanal, a 10 km da costa de Peruíbe, em junho de 2016 e doado ao projeto SOS tubarões do Instituto de Biologia Marinha e Meio Ambiente - IBIMM, localizado no bairro do Guaraú, cidade de Peruíbe, litoral Sul de SP, sendo esse o primeiro registro de ocorrência desta espécie na região. O peixe foi identificado como fêmea cação-sete-guelras, Notorynchus cepedianus, com 80 cm de comprimento total e 1,8 kg. O animal apresentou no conteúdo estomacal dois otólitos de peixe ósseo, sendo que na literatura consta que a espécie possui hábito alimentar variado. Os juvenis se alimentam principalmente de teleósteos e com o crescimento à medida que se desenvolvem, modificam seu hábito alimentar tornando-os mais complexos, se alimentando basicamente de teleósteos, crustáceos, cefalópodes, lobos-marinhos, pequenos cetáceos, raias, quimeras e tubarões.

O ecoturismo e o etnoturismo são dois segmentos da atividade turística, que podem fazer parte de tipos de atividades econômicas sustentáveis quando bem planejadas. Tendo em vista o incipiente, mas crescente desenvolvimento da atividade turística na área de estudo, discute-se neste trabalho a possibilidade do desenvolvimento dessa atividade na aldeia Potiguara de Tramataia localizada na Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) da Barra do rio Mamanguape, mesorregião da zona da mata, litoral norte do estado da Paraíba, município de Marcação. Objetivou-se fazer uma análise dos aspectos sociais, econômicos e ambientais visando perceber possíveis impactos ou contribuições que o desenvolvimento desta atividade econômica poderá gerar para a área em estudo, levando-se em consideração o real significado do termo desenvolvimento. Como um turismo de base comunitária tem de ser desejo da própria comunidade, é primordial a sua percepção sobre essa temática. Os dados demonstraram ser possível inferir que o turismo local tem servido como uma atividade econômica complementar para uma pequena parcela populacional da comunidade. A maioria da comunidade amostrada considera o turismo como uma boa opção de economia complementar. A partir dessa perspectiva, considera-se que o turismo pode ser utilizado como meio para valorizar os aspectos culturais, e o meio ambiente natural, através das interpretações empíricas da comunidade, sendo ainda necessária uma maior preparação desta, para o seu envolvimento. Isso poderá ser facilitado, através de políticas públicas direcionadas para o desenvolvimento e incentivo ao turismo local. Ecotourism and etnotourism potentialities in the potiguara village of Tramataia, Environmental Protection Area of the Mamanguape River (PB, Brazil) ABSTRACT Ecotourism and the etnoturismo are two segments of tourism, which can be part of types of sustainable economic activities when thoughtful. Given the incipient but growing development of tourism in the study area, this paper discusses the possibility of the development of this activity in Potiguara village Tramataia located in the Environmental Protection Area (APA) of the river Mamanguape Bar, the middle region area of the forest, north coast of the state of Paraíba, in the town of Marcação. The objective to analyze the social, economic and environmental aspects in order to note possible impacts or contributions to the development of this economic activity could generate to the area being studied, taking into account the real meaning of the term development. The data shown to be possible to infer that the local tourism has served as a complementary economic activity to a small part of the population of the community. Most of the sampled community considers tourism as a good option to complement economy. From this perspective, it is considered that tourism can be used as a means to valorize the cultural aspects, and the natural environment, through community empirical interpretations, and still require further preparation of this, to their involvement in tourism development. This may be facilitated by public policies directed to the development of local tourism. KEYWORDS: Ecotourism; Etnotourism; Local Community.

Despite the important role of the order Odonata in ecosystems, there is a lack of information about dragonfly communities in several regions, high elevation sites, and environmentally protected areas in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Our objective was to assess the abundance and richness of dragonfly and damselfly communities along an elevational gradient in the Atlantic Forest,southeastern Brazil. This study was conducted in the Fernão Dias Environmental Protection Area,Mantiqueira Mountain region, Gonçalves, Minas Gerais State, in sites covered by Seasonal Semideciduous and mixed forests. This is the first study of Odonata communities in the region. Samplings were carried out on 17 days from October 2019 to March 2020 at three elevation ranges (low,mid, and high). A total of 293 specimens, distributed in 39 species and 9 families, were sampled. Elevation did not influence the richness or abundance of dragonflies but altered community composition. Some species were found to be exclusive to high-elevation sites, such as Heteragrion mantiqueirae Machado, 2006, which was recorded for the first time in Minas Gerais and we provide a description and diagnosis of the single female collected in tandem. A novel species of the genus Brechmorhoga was found to occur at mid and high elevations. The composition of dragonfly communities depends on the degree of preservation and extension of forest areas. Therefore, conservation of forests in Gonçalves is crucial for preserving Odonata diversity in Minas Gerais State.

Inventories of Amazon invertebrates are relatively incipient and fragmented. The state of Amapá is one of the Amazonian states with a large knowledge gap regarding invertebrate biodiversity. Also, there is no record in the literature of systematic studies that focus mainly on the Acridofauna. Therefore the goal of this study was to understand the diversity and abundance of grasshoppers (Gomphocerinae) of the Environmental Protection Area of the Curiaú river, Macapá - AP. Twelve samples were collected from October 2011 to September 2012 using the active search technique with sweep nets. A total of 508 Gomphocerinae individuals were sampled and classified into five genera and twelve species. The floristic composition of sites A1 and A3, and sites A5 and A6, are considered more similar since the locusts are closely related to the vegetation. This is the first study assessing the diversity of orthopteroides in the state of Amapá. However, this pioneering study is expected to be the basis of future studies.
