O Mestrado Acadêmico em Ciências Ambientais teve início em 2005 e funciona no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais (PPGCA) do Instituto de Geociências (IG) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) em parceria com o Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG) e a Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA/Amazônia Oriental).

Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Comunidades macrobentônicas da Reserva Biológica do Lago Piratuba (Amapá – Brasil)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) ALMEIDA, Mayk Ferreira de; ROSA FILHO, José Souto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3223362071251898; ALBERNAZ, Ana Luisa Kerti Mangabeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1220240487835422The structure of the macrobenthic communities was characterized in different climatic periods and areas of the Reserva Biológica do Lago Piratuba (Amapá-Brazil). The samplings occurred on June and November of 2005 (Meridional belt lake - lakes Comprido de cima, Bacia, Lodão, Grande, Comprido de Baixo, Canal Tobaco and estuary of the river Araguari) and of 2006 (eastern belt lake - lakes Piratuba, Jussara, Escara, Trindade, Maresia, Boiado and the Duarte stream and seven places in the coast (areas vegetated and not vegetated). At each site four samples had been collected, with a corer (0.0079 m2) buried 20 cm in the sediment. After collection samples were passed in a 0.3 mm mesh and the retained organisms were fixed in formalin 5%. The structure of the communities varied seasonally, with severe modifications in density, specific composition, richness, eveness and diversity among sampling occasions and environments (lakes/coast). A total of 54 taxa had been identified belonging to phyla: Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca and Nemertea. In the rainy seasonal it was recorded 36 taxa, and in the dry seasonal 42 taxa were recorded. Annelida was the most abundant taxon, representing always more than 48% of total organisms. In the lakes Insecta larvae, Mollusca and Oligochaeta were the dominant taxa. In the coast, Polychaeta and Crustacea were dominant. It was recorded 32 taxa in the lakes and mean density of 667 ind.m-2. In the coast 34 taxa were recorded and 1353 ind.m-2. The coastal non-vegetated area was richer and denser and showed the higher eveness. Benthic fauna from the Meridional belt lake and the Eastern belt lake behavioured distinctively among seasons. Three sub-environments had been identified based on the benthic fauna: freshwater environment - majority of the lakes of the Eastern belt, dominated by insects; transition environment (freshwater/coast) with mixed fauna (Polychaeta and Insecta); and coastal environment, with Polychaeta and Crustacea. The environmental characteristics best correlated with spatialtemporal changes in the benthic communities structure were water pH, electric conductivity and turbidity.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeito de bacias e de variáveis ambientais na estrutura de comunidades de peixes de igarapés na região do interflúvio Madeira-Purus(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) BARROS, Daniela de França; ZUANON, Jansen Alfredo Sampaio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0161925591909696; ALBERNAZ, Ana Luisa Kerti Mangabeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1220240487835422The main objective of this study was to investigate the richness and composition of the fish fauna in headwaters of streams in the Madeira-Purus interfluvial region, and if they are related to environmental variables and / or watersheds. Data was collected along two field campaigns, lasting approximately 20 days each, between the months of April and July 2007. A total of 22 streams were sampled, belonging to five different watersheds. Fish were captured with hand nets and small seine nets. Information on the structural characteristics of the streams and physical-chemical of water was also obtained. A total of 5509 fish were captured, belonging to 86 species, 22 families and six orders. Characiformes was the most diversified taxonomic group, followed by Gymnotiformes and Siluriformes. The species composition was influenced mostly by the width and depth of the channel, discharge and substrate. The presence of different environments around creeks has also contributed to the differences in fish species composition. The watersheds had strong effect on communities of fish. However, the results cannot allow to assert with certainty if differences in fish composition among watersheds are reflecting historical effects or environmental conditions.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeito do tamanho da área florestada, grau de isolamento e distância de estradas na estruturação de comunidades de aranhas em Alter do Chão, Santarém, Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-10-24) SILVA, Bruno José Ferreira da; BONALDO, Alexandre Bragio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8721994758453503; ALBERNAZ, Ana Luisa Kerti Mangabeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1220240487835422As forest destruction and fragmentation advance throughout the Brazilian Amazon, it has become important to determine how these processes affect the fauna in various vegetation types in order to predict impacts and the conservation value of habitat fragments for different animal taxa. Invertebrates are useful bio-indicators because of their adaptive and dispersal potential and intimate connections with the environment. The use of spiders to evaluate forest fragmentation is recent and only slightly employed, although the group is mega-diverse and biologically tied to environmental composition and structure. This study used spiders to evaluate the effects of forest fragment size, degree of isolation, and distance to roads in 15 forest islands in a savanna matrix and 6 areas of continuous forest, in Alter do Chão district, Santarém municipality, Pará state, Brazil. Capture of spiders involved 252 man-hours of effort with an entomological umbrella and manual nocturnal collections. Transects of 250 m were collected three times, and the summed results of each transect comprised a sample unit. In total, 7751 spiders were captured, including 5477 immature and 2274 adult specimens in 306 species belonging to 32 families. Spider community characteristics, analyzed by MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) with Bray-Curtis distance, showed separation between continuous forest and forest fragment habitats. For species with more than 10 individuals in the collections, an analysis was made of the response to the first dimension of ordination, and a direct ordination was made using characteristics of each collection area (distance from the forest island to continuous forest, area of forest fragment, and form index of the forest island). GLM analysis, used to evaluate the effects of environmental degradation, showed significant differences for number of trees in each forest fragment and for distance to roads: forest fragmentation was significant to spider communities only in terms of size of forest fragment (on axis 1 of the MDS). An ANOVA used to compare species richness showed greater richness in continuous forest, differing from the result of rarefaction curves that predict slightly higher species richness in forest islands. The hierarchical standard of the spider community was obtained with the Nestedness Temperature Calculator Program–Nestcalc.
