The Cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome and only 2.8% is represented by protected areas. Considering the relevance of the Cerrado and Conservation Units in preserving the mammalian diversity, we provided the first assessment of the diversity of medium- and large-sized mammal species in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (CVNP) and surroundings. We tested the effectiveness of the CVNP by assessing the difference in species composition within the park and its surroundings. We sampled CVNP in the rainy (October-December 2013) and dry seasons (March-June 2014) in order to characterize the seasonality within the community. We selected 36 sampling sites to evaluate the composition of the medium and large mammals in the CVNP and its surroundings, 18 in the CVNP and 18 in the park surroundings. We ordered mammalian composition and frequency of individuals data by using a Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling analysis (NMDS). We assessed the effect of season (dry and rainy seasons) and locality (within the CVNP and surroundings) on mammalian species richness with a two-way analysis of variance (Two-way ANOVA). We recorded 23 species, 13 within the CVNP and 17 species in its surroundings. Composition and frequency of records differed between dry and rainy seasons, with higher richness in the rainy season. Species’ composition and the frequency of records were also different between within the CVNP and its surroundings, with higher richness in the surroundings. These results provide information for the increase of the knowledge of mammalian ecology but also is useful as a tool for future strategies to the conservation of these species. More attention should be given to the monitoring of these species in the long term because this area still harbor some viable populations.

The Creation

No Brasil, muitas unidades de conservação (UCs) ainda não possuem seus processos de regularização fundiária concluídos. Como resultado, muitas dessas áreas registram até hoje situações de disputas e conflitos, aspecto que complexifica os processos de gestão e conservação da biodiversidade, bem como, interfere diretamente na manutenção de exercícios de territorialidade de muitos moradores. Inspirados nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a situação fundiária do Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó (MG), criado em 1984, bem como os processos de disputa territorial associados. Ancorada em um viés qualitativo, a presente investigação envolveu pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, além de entrevistas com analistas do parque e com uma moradora que ainda resiste em permanecer em suas terras, mesmo após a criação do parque.Palavras-chave: Unidades de Conservação, Parques, Conflitos Ambientais, Serra do Cipó (MG)Abstract In Brazil, many conservation units (UCs) still do not have their processes of land regularisation completed. As a result, a lot of them coexist with cases of territorial conflicts, a situation that gives complexity to the management and biodiversity conservation processes, at the same time, interferes directly in the maintenance of territorial practices of some residents. This research aims to analyse the land regularisation at National Park of Serra do Cipó (MG), created on1984, and then some processes of territorial conflicts associated. Based in a qualitative perspective, this investigation involves bibliographic and documental surveys and interviews with park’s employees and a resident who still resists remaining on her lands, even after the creation of the park.Keywords: Conservation units, Parks, Environmental, Serra do Cipó (MG)

O turismo está condicionado a existência de elementos espaciais que possam ser apropriados ou produzidos pela prática turística. A produção do espaço pelo turismo interessa a ciência geográfica e justifica a realização de pesquisas embasadas nos conceitos espaciais. Assim, este artigo discute o turismo como prática espacial, tendo como dimensão empírica de análise o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (PNI) em Foz do Iguaçu-PR. Da mesma forma, analisa o papel do atrativo Cataratas do Iguaçu, tendo em vista a sua condição pré-existente/natural, na indução dos fluxos de turistas e na promoção de benefícios socioeconômicos para a cidade. A metodologia consistiu na revisão sistemática da literatura, em plataformas acadêmicas on-line e livros, sendo o critério de busca, a abordagem geográfica do turismo na perspectiva da produção do espaço. Também foram utilizados dados secundários de visitação turística, do Produto Interno Bruto e de geração de empregos, obtidos em sites do governo, de instituições turísticas e durante pesquisa de campo realizada na cidade em janeiro de 2018. Os resultados demonstram a relevância do Parque e das Cataratas como os principais elementos formadores do espaço turístico local. Do mesmo modo, foi constatada a contribuição dos investimentos em infraestruturas para promover o destino no segmento de ecoturismo em escala mundial, atraindo mais fluxos de visitantes, deflagrando impactos positivos no PIB setorial, gerando emprego e renda para a população.Palavras–chave: Turismo, Espaço Turístico, Unidades de Conservação da Natureza, Cataratas do Iguaçu.AbstractThe tourism is conditioned by the existence of spatial elements that may be appropriate or produced by tourist practice. The production of space by tourism interests geographic science and justifies research based on spatial concepts. Therefore, this article discusses tourism as a space practice, having as an empirical dimension of analysis the Iguaçu National Park in Foz do Iguaçu-PR (Brazil). Similarly, it analyses the role of the attractive Iguaçu Falls, considering its pre-existing/natural condition, the induction of tourist flows and the promotion of socioeconomic benefits for the city. The methodological procedure consisted in the systematic review of the literature, in online academic platforms and books, being the criterion of search, the geographical approach of tourism in the perspective of the production of the space. Secondary data were used for tourist visitation, Gross Domestic Product and job generation, obtained from government websites, tourist institutions and during a field survey held in the city in January 2018. The results demonstrate the relevance of the Park and the Falls as the main formative elements of the local tourist space. Likewise, the contribution of investments in infrastructure to promote the destination in the ecotourism segment on a world scale, attracting more flows of visitors, provoking positive impacts on the sectoral GDP, generating employment and income for the population was verified.Keywords: Tourism, Tourist Space, Conservation Units, Iguaçu Falls.

The present study was developed aiming to evaluate the richness and biogeography of social wasp species in the Brazilian savanna, Cerrado. In order to do so, we gathered data from specialized literature and field samplings performed at Sempre-Vivas National Park, northeastern Minas Gerais state. 18 genera and 137 species were recorded, with 4 endemic species of the Mischocytiarus genus. The results showed that Cerrado houses 40% of Brazilian Polistinae fauna and that Sempre-Vivas National Park is responsible for around 29% of this value, which makes it an important refuge for conservation of social wasps from Cerrado, as well as Mato Grosso state, due to its large number of restricted occurrence and endemic species. Nonetheless, there are Brazilian states and conservation units still lacking information for the taxon, making a bigger sampling effort in the Cerrado biome necessary, as it has been rapidly deteriorating due to human action.

Fishes may show sexual dimorphism according to their reproductive strategies. In some species, this differentiation is already well known. However, with the findings obtained from recent studies, the number of species for which sex can be determined without dissection has increased. Thus far, the presence of external secondary sexual characteristics in Hoplias aimara, a very well-studied species, has not been reported. Traditional knowledge evidenced through riparian people observations indicated the possibility of sexual dimorphism in this species, which was studied in 2 conservation units, Sustainable Development Reserve of Iratapuru River and Tumucumaque Mountains National Park, in the state of Amapá, Brazil. Fishes were captured, and their anal fins were examined when they were still fresh; the sex of the fishes was confirmed by dissection. The same procedure was used for formalin-fixed fishes. By assessing the shape of the anal fin in fresh or fixed fishes, it was possible to determine the sex of the fish, which was then confirmed by dissection. H. aimara shows sexual dimorphism expressed in the morphology of their anal fin. Thus, the sex of fishes deposited in collections can be identified without any dissection, thereby providing important biological information about the specimens.

Abstract We present the floristic treatment of the Terminalia species occurring in the state of Maranhão. This study was based on the analysis of national and international herbaria. Six species were recorded from the state: Terminalia actinophylla, T. amazonia, T. dichotoma, T. fagifolia, T. glabrescens, and T. lucida, with one endemic (T. actinophylla) to Brazil. Taxa were commonly recorded in dry Savanna environments (cerrado). Only the species Terminalia fagifolia and T. lucida occur in conservation units in Maranhão, specifically in Mirador State Park, Chapada das Mesas National Park and Ecological Sanctuary of Pedra Caída. In addition to morphological descriptions, this study includes an identification key, illustrations, and comments about taxonomic affinities, geographical distribution, ecology, conservation status, and phenology of the species.

A análise de dados mapeados se tornou uma importante ferramenta de auxílio no gerenciamento dos recursos naturais e urbanos. Em Unidades de Conservação (UC), os mapas servem de apoio aos visitantes e ao próprio manejo dos parques. A difusão da utilização de técnicas de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG) se tornou essencial para a análise espacial de dados mapeados. Pela relevância do tema, selecionou-se como principal objetivo desse trabalho o mapeamento e desenvolvimento de análises espaciais que permitiram classificar a trilha do Rancho Caído, localizada na parte alta do Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (RJ), quanto ao seu grau de dificuldade. Os procedimentos de sobreposição de mapas (overlays), fundamentados na literatura denominada "álgebra de mapas", constituíram a base metodológica deste trabalho. Para o cumprimento do objetivo apresentado, a trilha do Rancho Caído, objeto de estudo do trabalho, foi mapeada com o uso de um receptor GPS para o levantamento de dados geográficos (registro de coordenadas; marcação de waypoints ou pontos de interesse; e registro de tracklog, o caminho percorrido). Somado a isso foi coletada uma imagem SRTM em fontes secundárias. Os dados vetoriais do percurso da trilha foram exportados do Google Earth e importados para um sistema SIG, o software ArcGis. A partir da imagem SRTM foram criadas classes temáticas de níveis de dificuldade da trilha. Para a classificação dos dados, primeiramente foram elaboradas camadas de informações, georreferenciadas no mesmo sistema de projeção cartográfica, considerando os temas: declividade, recursos hídricos, cobertura vegetal e qualidade do traçado. Posteriormente, as camadas de informação foram reclassificadas e somadas, por meio da operação de sobreposição, constituindo um mapa temático unificado. Dessa forma, o produto final do trabalho foi o mapa temático de níveis de dificuldade da trilha do Rancho Caído. A principal contribuição foi o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia, com embasamento na álgebra de mapas, levando em conta alguns fatores ambientais que podem auxiliar na determinação do grau de dificuldade de trilhas. Mapping and Classification the Degree of Difficulty of the Rancho Caído Trail, Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (RJ, Brazil) ABSTRACT The analysis of mapped data has become an important supporting tool for the natural and urban resources management. In Conservation Units (UC), the maps provide support for visitors and for the park’s own management. The dissemination of SIG (Geographic Information System) techniques has become essential for the spatial analysis of mapped data. Considering the relevance of the topic, the mapping and development of spatial analysis were selected as the aim of this study which have enabled to classify the Rancho Caído trail, located at the upper zone of Itatiaia National Park (RJ), regarding to its degree of difficulty. The overlay procedures, founded in literature designated as 'map algebra', have constituted the methodological basis of this study. In order to accomplish the objective of this thesis, the Rancho Caído trail, object of this study, was mapped by using a GPS receiver for spatial data collection (recording coordinates; marking waypoints or points of interest; and recording tracklog). In addition, a SRTM image (raster) was collected from secondary sources. The vectorial data of the trail routing were exported from Google Earth and imported into a GIS system, the ArcGIS software. Thematic classes related to the trail degree of difficulty were created from the SRTM image. The first step in data classification was to prepare layers and georeference them in the same cartographic projection system, considering the following themes: slope, water resources, vegetation cover, and quality of the trace. Subsequently the layers were reclassified and summed, through the overlay operation procedure, providing a unified thematic map. As a result, the final product of this work was a thematic map of Rancho Caído trail difficulty levels. The main contribution of this work lies on the development of a methodology, based upon map algebra, taking into account some environmental factors which can help to determine the trail’s difficulty levels.

Organic Matter Breakdown

Harvestmen are arachnids that play an important role in organic matter breakdown. However, there are many ecosystems in Brazil, including Conservation Units, which lack information about these organisms or are sub-sampled. Even in areas of Atlantic forest, a biome that hosts the greatest diversity and endemic rates of these arthropods in the world. In this perspective, the purpose of this study was to survey the harvestmen fauna in areas of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest in the Ilha Grande National Park, Paraná, southern Brazil, from February to November 2019, totaling 15 days and 60 hours, on six islands in the Paraná River. A total of 170 specimens was collected, distributed in five genera, comprising two species and three morphotypes. The low species richness may reflect the isolation of populations imposed by the island effect, however the study expanded the geographic distribution of Parapachyloides uncinatus and Discocyrtus invalidus, for which until then there was no record of occurrence in the Paraná State.
