Abstract In Brazil, Leishmania infantum mainly affects humans and dogs. The state of Bahia presents many dogs that are positive for this parasite. Despite the importance of epidemiology in this region, there are still very few studies that have assessed the genetic characteristics of L. infantum. The aim of this study is to investigate the genetic variability of L. infantum isolated identified in naturally infected dogs, in order to verify occurrence of subpopulation of this parasite in the different biomes existing in the state of Bahia. Thirty-two samples of L. infantum were analyzed, which were obtained isolated in dogs from the Mata Atlântica (rainforest), Caatinga (semi-arid scrub forest), and Cerrado (a vast tropical savannah eco-region) Bahia municipalities’ biomes. All animals presented with clinical changes suggestive of Leishmania spp. and they exhibited positive reactions to serological tests. kDNA analysis with RFLP markers revealed the presence of genetic variability and gene flow in subpopulations of L. infantum; samples from the Mata Atlântica areas were genetically more similar to those from the areas of Caatinga and they were less likely to resemble those of the Cerrado. This data may be used to investigate the dissemination of parasite in the canine population of state of Bahia.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a diversidade de espécies florestais nativas produzidas nos viveiros do estado do Rio de Janeiro. O levantamento e diagnóstico foram realizados durante os meses de fevereiro, março e abril de 2010, sendo incluídos os viveiros que produziam mudas de espécies florestais da Mata Atlântica. O trabalho de campo consistiu em visitas a 70 viveiros florestais, nos quais foi requerida a lista das espécies produzidas e realizada entrevista com o responsável, sendo preenchido um questionário englobando diversos temas relacionados à produção de mudas. Foram observadas 277 espécies florestais nativas da Mata Atlântica sendo produzidas nos viveiros, que, em média, trabalham com 56 espécies nativas. A diversidade total de espécies florestais da Mata Atlântica produzidas nos viveiros do Estado do Rio de Janeiro é baixa, assim como a diversidade média, já que mais da metade dos viveiros trabalha com uma listagem de 50 ou menos espécies, número insuficiente considerando a diversidade de espécies florestais presentes nas diferentes formações vegetais do estado.Palavras-chave: Mudas florestais; restauração florestal; Mata Atlântica. AbstractAssessment of diversity of native species produced in forest nurseries of Rio de Janeiro State. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the diversity of native species produced by nurseries in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The diagnostic and survey were conducted during the months of February, March and April of the year 2010, the research included all nurseries that produced seedlings of Atlantic Forest species. The fieldwork consisted of visits to the 70 surveyed nurseries, in which a list of the species produced in the nursery was requested and the seedling production manager was interviewed, filling in a questionnaire covering various topics related to seedlings production. We observed 277 forest species native from the Atlantic Forest produced in the nurseries. In average, the nurseries produce 56 different native species. The total diversity of native species produced in the State of Rio de Janeiro is low, as well as the mean diversity, since more than half of the nurseries work with a list of 50 or fewer species, what is insufficient considering the diversity of forest species that occur in the different vegetation types of the state.Keywords: Forest seedlings; forest restoration; Atlantic Forest.

Fifteen insect gall morphotypes were found on 11 plant species (8 families) in three fragments of the Dense Ombrophylous Lowland Forest, in the municipalities of Maracajá, Içara and Araranguá, Santa Catarina. Most of the galls occurred in leaves, followed by stems galls and a single gall morphotype in Leandra sp. (Melatomastaceae), occurred in both leaves and stems. Glabrous and isolated galls were more frequent than hairy and gregarious galls. Lauraceae was the family of plant with greater wealth of galls. It was pointed out the first record of the plant Microstachys serrulata (Euphorbiaceae) for the state of Santa Catarina. Galls found in Ilex theezans (Aquifoliaceae), Microstachys serrulata (Euphorbiaceae), Dahlstedtia muehlbergiana (Fabaceae), Nectandra oppositifolia (Lauraceae), Leandra sp. (Melastomataceae), Miconia sellowiana (Melastomataceae), Myrcia multiflora (Myrtaceae) and Urera nitida (Urticaceae) were recorded for the first time in the State of Santa Catarina.

Dispersal of Ralstonia spp. cells by water and contaminated plant material and the importance of weeds as inoculum sources have been poorly investigated. Water of rivers, soil from fields of diverse crops and areas of natural vegetation both from the Amazonia, Cerrado and Mata Atlantica biomes, besides soil of the rhizosphere of weeds present in tomato fields with records of bacterial wilt were sampled and analyzed to detect Ralstonia spp. Seeds of tomato plants artificially and naturally infected with Ralstonia spp. were also processed. All samples were enriched a priori in selective medium South Africa (SMSA) and colonies were isolated in plates containing solid SMSA. Detection of Ralstonia spp. was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction with specific primers. The Co-operational PCR (CO-PCR) was also used to detect Ralstonia spp. Colonies were obtained from soil samples and from a commercial substrate sample. Five soil samples from eggplant fields, one from coffee field, one substrate from potato seed tuber production, two soil samples from the rhizosphere of Amaranthus spp., one from Bidens pilosa and one from Solanum americanum tested positive for Ralstonia spp. Besides these soil samples, five water samples of rivers were positive for CO-PCR detection: two samples from Amazonia, one from Cerrado and two samples from irrigation water collected from tomato fields located in the Mata Atlantica biome. Ralstonia spp. were not detected in tomato seeds. These results revealed potential inoculum sources, especially weeds, in areas with historical records of bacterial wilt. Additionally, rivers may act as dispersal agents of inoculum of Ralstonia spp.

A área de estudo é a Unidade de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos número 11 (UGRHI-11), com declives acentuados, muito dissecados e relevo ondulado, localizada na última parte de remanescente contínuo da Mata Atlântica no Estado de São Paulo (Brasil). Este artigo apresenta um novo modelo de previsão para a identificação de áreas suscetíveis à erosão e deslizamentos de terra na região da UGRHI-11, combinando ferramentas geotécnicas e trabalho de campo. A fim de avaliar a metodologia, foi realizada uma análise multicritério utilizando o software IDRISI Andes. As áreas que são mais suscetí- veis à erosão estão localizadas em Apiaí, Barra do Chapéu, Barra do Turvo, Cajati, Eldorado, Itaóca, Itapirapuã Paulista e Ribeira. 128 ocorrências de deslizamentos observados em pesquisas de campo em Ribeira de Iguape Vale do Rio foram plotados no mapa de suscetibilidade deslizamento de terra. Dez ocorrências estavam situadas em áreas classificadas como baixa suscetibilidade a deslizamentos de terra; cinquenta e seis ocorrências em áreas de susceptibilidade moderada, cinquenta e cinco em áreas de elevada susceptibilidade e sete áreas estavam situadas em áreas de elevada susceptibilidade a deslizamentos de terra. Os dados de campo mostraram que os mapas de suscetibilidade a erosão e deslizamento de terra, em escala 1:250.000, forneceram previsões confiáveis.

Com a supressão contínua da Mata Atlântica e Cerrado, a fauna, presente nesses biomas, enfrenta desafios em busca de abrigo e recursos. O estado de São Paulo possui importantes fragmentos florestais urbanos que atuam como refúgios para a biodiversidade. O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica dos mamíferos presentes em fragmentos florestais urbanos no estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram considerados de 2000 a 2020 nas bases de dados Google Scholar e Web of Science, a partir de estudos com registros diretos ou indiretos de mamíferos. Dentre as nossas buscas, 11 artigos se enquadraram, onde foram registradas 75 espécies pertencentes a 25 famílias e oito ordens de mamíferos. Foram registradas nove espécies ameaçadas de extinção estadual e duas se categorizam como NT – Near Threatened (Quase ameaçada), já a nível mundial quatro estão em alguma categoria de ameaça e três estão na categoria NT. Dessa forma, os dados levantados ressaltam a necessidade da preservação mesmo de pequenos fragmentos urbanos, que podem atuar como refúgio, passagem ou hábitat da fauna silvestre, podendo inclusive, interligar áreas maiores e formar um corredor ecológico.
