Sea turtles have a long history of human exploitation around the world, which has contributed to the species population decline, along with other threats, mainly by accidental capture during fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. Currently, interaction with fishing is the largest cause of mortality among sea turtles, followed by ingestion of inorganic material (garbage). The waste accumulation in the oceans, mainly plastic, has attracted considerable attention in recent decades since pollution is a major threat to marine life. In this study, we mapped the occurrence and nesting areas of each sea turtles in the coastal zone of Maranhão; analyzed the frequency of strandings all over the years; and evaluated the impacts on sea turtle populations in the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, as well as diet composition and ingestion of solid waste. This research includes records of strandings of live or dead animals between 2005 and 2020, coming from the database of the Projeto QUEAMAR – Quelônios Aquáticos do Maranhão - UFMA - Federal University of Maranhão, and bi-monthly campaigns to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. We observed five species of sea turtles along the entire Coast of Maranhão and reproductive records for two of them. From the impacts observed, anthropic interaction was the most observed factor (n=35), with drowning and amputation being the principal consequences of intermeshing (n=12). Intestinal obstruction caused by ingestion of inorganic material was also frequently observed (n=13). During this research, two Marine Seismic Surveys 3D were conducted to prospect for oil and gas, which coincided with a significant increase in the frequency of strandings in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, possibly caused by noise pollution through noise swells generated by air cannons. Although the Maranhão coast is covered by legally protected areas, such as the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park and the Cururupu Extractive Reserve, long-term studies with species of international migratory cycle, such as sea turtles, which occupy an important position in the conservation scenario, allows detecting trends and temporal changes, as well as evaluating the impacts of anthropogenic activities in coastal areas.

Padrões de estruturação de adultos de libélulas em uma área de proteção e seu entorno na Amazônia oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-09-30) MONTEIRO JÚNIOR, Cláudio da Silva; JUEN, Leandro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1369357248133029; ESPOSITO, Maria Cristina; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2112497575917273
In Brazil is the most protected areas (PA) in the world, and mostly located in the Amazon. Currently, the Amazon biome has 73% of APs Brazil or 111 million hectares, 37% full and 63% use of sustainable use. Despite the large number, biodiversity does not have its assured conservation, since the population increases every year, as well as demands for goods and services that result in modifications of the ecosystems that are often outside or even inside the PAs. So our main objective is to study the Odonata adult structuring patterns in a protected area and its surroundings. For this, the thesis is divided into three chapters held in streams in the eastern Amazon. In the first chapter, our hypothesis was to test whether we would find a greater diversity of species of dragonflies in AP due to greater complexity of habitats. In the second chapter, we tested the hypothesis that there would be high beta diversity due to the high replacement species that is expected to find. In the third chapter, we tested the hypothesis that Odonata would be a weak to moderate substitute for other groups, because of the inherent characteristics of the group, as the great mobility. The study was carried out in 30 streams, 17 located within a protected and 13 in the surrounding area. The results of the first chapter were the largest diversity of Odonata found in the environment, compared with the AP. There were also differences in the species composition of the two environments, and differences between environmental variables between areas. Thus, the combination of the protected area and the surroundings, with a low level of disturbance retains a broad range of specialist species Odonata than just a single area. In the second chapter, there was a high beta diversity in Odonata both the AP and in the environment, possibly explained by the niche breadth combined with the spatial structure of the environment. In addition, we found that the specific requirement of the species happens associated with a natural variation in the environment, since there was large beta diversity and high turnover in both environments. Even with some environmental change, it was not big or strong enough to exclude all species and therefore they can survive in this environment. In the third chapter, we tested the correlation between adult Odonata with other aquatic groups such as fish, Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera combined (ET) and chironomids in streams of the Eastern Amazon. There was a correlation between species richness and consistency of Odonata of adults with fish and ET, though the strength of these correlations were moderate to low. So we discussed that adult Odonata are a moderate to weak group substitute for other aquatic organisms in streams of the eastern Amazon. Thus, we suggest caution in the use of a single taxon as a substitute for others and for conservation planning, the best would be to use a wide range of taxa, reflecting holistically aquatic biodiversity. Finally, both areas of protection becomes important to maintain the pool of own species of each environment, with our major challenge in the future is to find a way to identify the disturbance levels that would be acceptable to avoid over-exploitation of resources in these areas.
