Restingas are coastal ecosystems associated with the Atlantic Forest. They are threatened by habitat degradation and forest fragmentation due to intense human occupation. Many restingas have coastal lagoons formed by bay sedimentation of bays, the presence of river estuaries, or emerging groundwater. The distance between lagoons and the ocean influences the biotic community in them. This study aimed to compare the diversity (composition, abundance and richness) of bat communities associated with three lagoons within the Paulo Cesar Vinha State Park, Espírito Santo state. Two lagoons (‘Feia’ and ‘Vermelha’ lagoons) are 2 km away from the ocean, while the third (‘Caraís’ lagoon) is just a few meters distant from the ocean. Species composition did not differ among the lagoons. Abundance of Carollia perspicillata and Glossophaga soricina was higher in the ‘Caraís’ lagoon. Abundance of Artibeus lituratus and Platyrrhinus lineatus was higher in the ‘Vermelha’ lagoon. Species with higher abundance in the ‘Vermelha’ are usually associated with urban and disturbed environments. ‘Vermelha’ lagoon is closer to human settlements and this could be a major driver of bat species abundance associated with this lagoon instead of distance from the ocean. These results may be used to guide conservations efforts in the restingas or habitats associated with restingas.

First Time

Studies on bat richness and diversity in coastal sand dunes (‘restinga’) are still scarce. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to estimate bat richness in the restinga of Praia das Neves (state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil) and to analyze species abundance. Ten sampling nights were carried out in May and July 2008, resulting in a sampling effort of 21,847.5 h.m2. We captured 125 individuals from 17 bat species. In this study, Tonatia saurophila was recorded for the first time not only in the state of Espírito Santo but also in the restinga ecosystem. The most abundant species was Artibeus lituratus with 32% of all captures. Surveys in coastal restingas are urgently needed in order to obtain more information about the bats living in this environment.

Espírito Santo state is located on the eastern margin of Brazil, in a transitional tropical-subtropical area (18°S–21°S) dominated by oligotrophic waters. With the exception of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), the cetacean community of Espírito Santo has been understudied. In addition to the chronic impacts from fisheries, marine pollution, urban development, and coastal habitat degradation, in November 2015 the cetacean communities of Espírito Santo were challenged by the greatest environmental disaster in Brazil’s history. The Mariana dam disaster caused 60 million cubic meters of mining waste to be washed into the Doce River, which ultimately flowed to the coastal waters of Espírito Santo, with a high concentration of heavy metals. This study reviews and updates information on cetacean strandings in the state of Espírito Santo (excluding humpback whales) prior to this disaster. From 1975 to September 2015, there were 461 recorded cetacean strandings, representing 20 species. An average 1.18 strandings per 100 km per month were recorded since a state-wide daily beach survey program was implemented in October 2010, contrasting with the 0.14 strandings per 100 km per month in previous years. Six species comprised the majority (94.7%) of stranding events: Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei), rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis), bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), and melon-headed whale (Peponocephala electra). Oceanic cetaceans stranded most frequently on the southern portion of Espírito Santo, where the continental platform is narrower, whereas the strandings of coastal cetaceans such as Guiana dolphins and Franciscanas were concentrated near estuaries, especially the Doce River. This is particularly concerning in face of the Mariana dam disaster, which drastically altered the estuarine and coastal environment associated with the Doce River.

Abstract. Eugenia BB, Armah AK, Dankwa HR. 2018. Fish as bioindicators of habitat degradation in coastal lagoons of Ghana. Bonorowo Wetlands 2: 9-26. Lagoons habitat forms an integral part of the marine fishing industry and provides essential spawning and nursery grounds for many fishes. Fish act as biological indicators of water quality and changes by summarizing information regarding their environment. Two lagoons, Laloi and Oyibi in the and Greater Accra and Central Regions of Ghana were studied to determine the ecological status using the Estuarine Fish Community Index (EFCI). Metrics assigned were the species diversity, nursery function, trophic integrity, and species abundance and composition. Water samples were obtained at the riverine, middle, and seaward portions during both high and low tides at each site. Fisherfolks were hired to fish at each of the sites. There are no significant differences between sites as measured by diversity indices. Multivariate analysis showed a considerable similarity between sites regarding species composition. This study identified eighteen species, including both finfish and shellfish. Two most abundant species during the study was the flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) and the black-chinned tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron). Mugil cephalus dominated catches in the Laloi lagoon, whereas Sarotherodon melanotheron were dominant in the Oyibi Lagoon. The most dominant species collected for the Laloi lagoon were S. melanotheron, Lutjanus fulgens, and Eucinostomus melanopterus. Caranx hippos, L. fulgens, and M. cephalus constituted a significant part of fishes caught in the Oyibi lagoon. The carangid, Caranx hippos contributed primarily of the biomass of fishes collected for both lagoons. In the rainy season, total fish abundance was higher than the dry season. Chlorophyll-a concentrations and condition factor of S. melanotheron were highest at both lagoons. Total organic carbon was high in the Oyibi lagoon; hence, the high numbers of S. melanotheron recorded. Tides were an essential factor affecting physicochemical parameters. Oyibi displayed a moderate site rating, suggesting that it was under mild stress with some stress factors identified were garbage dumping, defecation, land-use changes, and increased human pressure. Meanwhile, Laloi Lagoon had a poor site rating, suggesting that it was under severe stress. The principal strains identified were overfishing, garbage dumping, mangrove degradation, and increased human settlements along the sides of the lagoon. The multi-metric index described served an effective method which reflects the status of lagoon fish communities and the overall ecosystem conditions.

A capacidade de o narrador estabelecer relações com outros sujeitos ao mesmo tempo em que busca, recupera e produz informações, conduz ao aperfeiçoamento do aprendizado de como acessar, avaliar e usar informações específicas de sua área de atuação. Com isso, procede-se a apresentação do objetivo de uma pesquisa que procura identificar as competências em informação que os contadores de histórias contemporâneos possuem e aquelas que são necessárias para uma conexão em redes colaborativas, potencializadas ou não pelas tecnologias de informação e comunicação. Todavia, acredita-se que o domínio das redes digitais se apresenta como um desafio para os atores culturais que durante décadas dominam os mecanismos da comunicação interpessoal. Desenvolvida no âmbito do Doutorado Interinstitucional em Ciência da Informação da Universidade de Brasília e Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, a pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa utiliza indicadores de perfil e contexto agrupados em um questionário com a finalidade de identificar competências em informação dos narradores do Distrito Federal. A necessidade de sustentar a atividade dos contadores de histórias perpassa as redes desenhadas na contemporaneidade, o que vai de encontro com uma atuação isolada que não possibilita o compartilhamento das experiências que comumente por eles são vividas. Assim sendo, esses narradores devem adquirir habilidades que os conduzam a produção de conteúdos necessários para acessar e produzir informação na sociedade em que vivem. Também necessitam de uma mudança de foco, de entendimento e de aceitação de outras perspectivas de aprendizado perante o acesso de redes de colaboração digitais e presenciais, para, assim, fazer fluir uma conexão interativa que permita o compartilhamento de informações na sociedade da informação.

RESUMOO consumo prejudicial do álcool é um dos principais fatores para a morbidade e mortalidade e em todo mundo. Nesse sentido, o Programa de Atendimento ao Alcoolista do Hospital Cassiano Antônio Moraes da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo é criado em 1985. Em 1987 é efetivado como programa de extensão e nestes 30 anos, o Programa de Atendimento ao Alcoolista é referência na oferta assistencial ambulatorial. Trata-se de um estudo observacional de caráter descritivo e exploratório. Baseia-se na observação das consultas realizadas e análise documental das produções realizadas pelos profissionais envolvidos no processo de assistência aos alcoolistas e familiares. O programa de extensão universitária busca articular ensino, formação profissional e assistência. O estudo poderá contribuir para a replicação das ações bem-sucedidas do PAA-HUCAM-UFES no estado do Espírito Santo e auxiliar a construção de novas práticas cuidativas e capacitação de profissionais para atender ao consumidor de álcool.Palavras-chaves: Alcoolismo, Saúde Mental, Cobertura de Serviços de Saúde.
