The ilha de Santa Catarina is situated in southern Brazil, Atlantic Forest, in the state of Santa Catarina, municipality of Florianópolis. Fish specimens were collected in 15 sampling points along the drainages of rio Córrego Grande, rio Palha, rio Ratones, rio Tavares, rio Vermelho, as well as in the channel of lagoa do Peri. Specimens belonging to 16 species (one of them exotic) were collected, distributed in 12 families and six orders.

Ombrophilous Forest

The Atlantic Forest is considered one of the world's biological diversity hotspots but is nevertheless increasingly threatened with the rapid destruction and fragmentation of its natural areas. In the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, remnants of the mixed ombrophilous forest and seasonal deciduous forest exist as islands within large areas of agriculture, pastures and human settlements. Here we present information on species richness and habitat use by anurans in the Floresta Nacional de Chapecó, located in the western portion of the state of Santa Catarina. Anurans were surveyed by active search of potential reproductive sites from December 1998 to December 2001. A total of 29 species were recorded, most of which have a known distribution restricted to southern Brazil and adjacent countries (Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay) and use open areas for reproduction. The species composition was most similar to other areas of mixed ombrophilous forest and seasonal deciduous forest from the extreme south of Brazil. The information in this study may support the implementation of conservation and management strategies in the area.

Abstract: Several studies addressed ant communities in the dense Atlantic Forest that runs along the Brazilian coast. However, comparatively little is known about the mixed forests and grasslands that occur in the southern range of the Atlantic Forest domain. In this study we performed the first standardized assessment of ants in the forest-grassland mosaic found in the highlands of the state of Santa Catarina. We aimed to investigate and compare ant richness and composition between mixed forests and grasslands in the main mountain range of south Brazil. Ants were collected in two years with ground pitfalls, tree pitfalls and litter samples. Sixty ant species were recorded, resulting in 22 new records for "Planalto Serrano" region and three for the state of Santa Catarina: Eurhopalothrix depressa, Pheidole radoszkowskii and Wasmannia williamsoni. There was significant dissimilarity in ant species composition between grasslands and forests, but no difference in ant species richness, even considering the higher number of strata in mixed forests. Similar richness and low number of arboreal species suggest that this ant community is structured similarly to temperate ones. Both habitats presented a large proportion of exclusive species. The fact that species composition between grassland and forest areas differed, coupled with the similarity in species richness between habitats and the record of new ant species for the region, calls for strong conservation efforts in grasslands of southern Brazil, which still are little protected by conservation areas.

First Time

Bromeliad-associated mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Atlantic Forest in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, were studied, examining plants of Vriesea philippocoburgi Wawra and Aechmea lindenii (E. Morren) Baker var. lindenii at secondary Atlantic rain forest, and A. lindenii and Vriesea friburgensis Mez var. paludosa (L. B. Smith) at "restinga" per month, during 12 months. No immature forms of mosquitoes were collected from A. lindenii in the secondary forest. Collections obtained 368 immature mosquitoes, none of them from A. lindenii from rain forest. Culex (Microculex) spp. constituted 79.8% of the total, Wyeomyia (Phoniomyia) spp. 17.93%, and Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii (Dyar & Knab, 1908) only 1.36%. The study shows the great predominance of species of medical importance not yet proved, and the small number of immature stages of anopheline mosquitoes. The rainfall, but not the mean temperatures, significantly influenced the quantity of mosquitoes from V. philippocoburgi. Significant differences between the quantities of immature forms of all the bromeliad species were found, and the shape of the plants could be important to the abundance of mosquitoes. All six species of Cx. (Microculex) found are recorded for the first time in the State of Santa Catarina, and all six species of Wyeomyia (Phoniomyia) are recorded for the first time in bromeliads in this state.

Rapid Drop

An “explosive extratropical cyclone” is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when there is a very rapid drop in central atmospheric pressure. This phenomenon, with its characteristic of rapidly lowering the pressure in its interior, generates very intense winds and for this reason it is called explosive cyclone, bomb cyclone. With gusts recorded of 116 km/h, atmospheric phenomenon – “cyclone bomb” (CB) hit southern Brazil on June 30, the beginning of winter 2020, causing destruction in its influence over. One of the cities most affected was Chapecó, west of the state of Santa Catarina. The satellite images show that the CB generated a low pressure (976 mbar) inside it, generating two atmospheric currents that moved at high speed. In a northwest-southeast direction, Bolivia and Paraguay, crossing the states of Parana and Santa Catarina, and this draft that hit the south of Brazil, which caused the destruction of the affected states.  Another moving to Argentina, southwest-northeast direction, due to high area of high pressure (1022 mbar). Both enhanced the phenomenon.

The Black-capped Becard (Pachyramphus marginatus) has two geographically isolated subspecies, including the Atlantic Forest subspecies that is distributed from Pernambuco State to Paraná State. Here we report the first observation of the species in Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. On 12 November 2019 an adult male of P. marginatus was observed in the municipality of São Francisco do Sul, on the northeastern coast of Santa Catarina, during an inventory for the creation of a protected area. The species was also observed on three other occasions in the same locality. These are the first known records for Santa Catarina and extend the known distribution range of this species 40 km southward. We also discuss some explanations for the records.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a verificação da realidade do setor ervateiro na 26ª Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Regional – SDR do estado de Santa Catarina. Compreendem esta secretaria os seguinte municípios: Bela Vista do Toldo, Canoinhas, Irineopólis, Major Vieira, Porto União e Três Barras. O trabalho aborda questões relativas aos produtos, a produção e as angustias e anseios dos produtores de uma das mais antigas atividades de extração vegetal da Região Sul do Brasil. Foram aplicadas entrevistas por meio de questionários com perguntas semi estruturadas, foi usada a metodologia de bola de neve, ou seja, o entrevistado ao final das respostas do questionário deveria indicar outro possível candidato para ser entrevistado. O período da pesquisa foi de agosto/2008 a maio/2009. Neste contexto é fundamental e imprescindível uma organização do setor produtivo de erva-mate, nos mais diversos aspectos, sejam eles, sociais, tecnológicos, silviculturais ou comerciais.Palavras-chave: Diagnóstico; erva-mate; setor produtivo. AbstractThe matte sector diagnosis in the 26th Secretary of the Regional Development, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. This study aimed to study the reality of the matte sector in the 26th Secretary of Regional Development (SDR) of the State of Santa Catarina, which includes the following Counties: Bela Vista do Toldo, Canoinhas, Irineópolis, Major Vieira, Porto União and Três Barras. The work included issues relating to products, production, distress and desires of the producers about one of the oldest vegetal extraction activities in southern Brazil. Interviews were carried out by means of semi structured questionnaires. The methodology used was the “snowball”, i.e., at the end of the interview the person who filled out the questionnaire indicated another possible candidate to be interviewed. The period of search was August/2008 to May/2009. In this context, it is essential the organization of the matte productive sector in social, technological, and commercial aspects.Keywords: Diagnosis; mate; the productive sector.
