Abstract: We report the first record for the collared anteater (Tamandua mexicana) from Colima, Mexico. This record represents a northern range expansion along the Pacific slope. The presence of T. mexicana in Colima can be explained by two different mutually exlcusive hypotheses; the first is that the species has been historically present and was not recorded earlier; the second one is that the collared anteater has just recently dispersed into the state. We strongly support the second hypothesis. Key words: Tamandua mexicana, Colima, record. Palabras clave: Tamandua mexicana, Colima, nuevo registro.

O agronegócio é sabidamente a principal atividade econômica do estado de Goiás, assim, a industrialização, baseada nesse segmento, configurou-se como a primeira opção do Estado como forma de desenvolvimento e diminuição da dependência econômica em commodities. Nessa perspectiva, o presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a dinâmica agroindustrial na microrregião de Anápolis, composta por 20 municípios, que em sua maioria possuem economia fortemente vinculada à agropecuária. Para tanto, foram estudados dados econômicos e demográficos disponibilizados por órgãos públicos. Sendo que, verifica-se a importância do agronegócio para a região, e a necessidade de se desenvolver a atividade agroindustrial, principalmente relacionada à pequena propriedade rural, como forma de incentivar o desenvolvimento dos municípios, e a fixação da população em seus municípios de origem. Palavras-chave: Agroindústria. Distrito Agroindustrial. Agronegócio.   THE AGROINDUSTRIAL DYNAMICS IN THE ANÁPOLIS MICROREGION ABSTRACT Agribusiness is known to be the main economic activity in the state of Goiás, and industrialization, based on this segment, has become the first option of the state as a form of development and decrease of economic dependence on commodities.

 Resumen: Se examinaron 568 ejemplares de mamíferos nativos de 49 especies, procedentes de 49 localidades de la Meseta Tarasca o Sierra Purépecha del Estado de Michoacán, México. Las especies encontradas en esta región del Eje Volcánico Transversal incluyen 1 marsupial, 2 insectívoros, 17 quirópteros, 2 carnívoros, 24 roedores y 1 lagomorfo. Para calcular la diversidad de especies en los cuatro hábitats muestreados, se utilizaron las 2 especies de insectívoros y 21 de roedores. De mayor a menor diversidad, en el bosque de pino-encino se recolectaron 201 individuos de 15 especies (H’ = 2.49), en el bosque tropical caducifolio 142 de 15 especies (H’ = 2.43), en el bosque de oyamel 92 individuos de 10 especies (H’ = 2.01) y en las áreas de ecotono 52 individuos de cuatro especies (H’ = 1.15). El registro de Hylonycteris underwoodi es el primero para las partes altas del Estado de Michoacán. Abstract: We examined 568 specimens of native mammals belonging to 47 species from 49 localities of the Tarascan Plateau or Sierra Purépecha mountain range in the State of Michoacán, México. Species composition of this enclave in the Transvolcanic Belt is 1 marsupial, 2 insectivores, 17 bats, 2 carnivores, 24 rodents, and 1 lagomorph. To calculate the species diversity according to the four sampled habitats, only the 2 insectivore and 21 rodent species were included. From higher to lower diversity values, we found 201 specimens from 15 species in pine-oak forest (H’ = 2.49), 142 from 15 species in tropical deciduous forest (H’ = 2.43), 92 specimens belonging to 10 species fir forest (H’ = 2.01), and 52 from four species in an ecotonal area (H’ =1.15). Hylonycteris underwoodi is the first record for the highlands from the State of Michoacan. Key words: Mammals, distribution, diversity, Tarascan Plateau, Michoacán.

The intention of this paper is to demonstrate that the need of the state justifications based on economic reasons cannot be sus-tained. Neither externalities, nor market failures are sufficient to justi-fy government’s intervention. Interventionism must be justified by fear, tradition or history, but never by the economic science. Key words: Interventionism, externalities, market failures, Austrian economics, origin of the State. Clasificación JEL: E61, E62, E63. Resumen: El objeto de este artículo es tratar de demostrar que las jus-tificaciones de la necesidad del Estado basadas en la ciencia económica no pueden ser sostenidas. Ni las externalidades ni los fallos del mer-cado son suficientes para justificar la intervención estatal. Ésta ten-drá que recurrir a argumentos extraeconómicos basados en la tradi-ción, el miedo o la historia para justificarse, pero no a la ciencia económica. Palabras clave: Intervencionismo, externalidades, fallos del mercado, economía austriaca, origen del Estado.
