Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O gênero microstrates lacordaire (Curculionidae : Baridinae): sistemática, filogenia e evolução da associação com palmeiras hospedeiras(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1997-03-11) ROCHA, Roberta Valente da; GORAYEB, Inocêncio de Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2391620537048479A revision and phylogenetic analysis of the genus Microstrates is presented based on new characters discovered in the course of this study, and on others previously know from the literature. Eleven species are recognized, vvhich can be identified by the key presented. Two new species are described: Microstrates almiri sp. n., Caxiuanã and Belém, Pará; and M. pinrima sp. n., Monte Alegre, Pará. Microstrates bipunctatus Hustache, 1951 is considered a synonym of M. cocois Bondar, 1941. The phylogenetic analysis of the species Microstrates resulted in a hypotesis that may be expressed parenthetically as follows; ((M. cocoscampestris (M. abbreviatus (M. rufus, M. hatschbachi))) ((M. M. piririma) (M. cocais (M. cearanus, M. ypsilon) (M. cucullus, M. bondan)))). The first records of the palm hosts of M. almin sp. n., M. pirinma sp. n. and M rufus Hustache are presented. The species M. almin sp. n. and M. pirinma sp. n., collected in Pará state, represent the first record of Microstrates in the Amazonian Region. Ali species are redescribed and their most important structures for the identification are illustrated. The collection of Weevils in differents species of palms in Pará and Amazonas states confirms the hypothesis of a exclusive association of Microstrates with palms of the genera Syagrus, Butia and Cocos, and also that each species of Syagrus and Butia host only one species of Micro strates. The cladogram mapping and optimization of host palm associations of Microstrates supports the following hypothesis: association with the genus Syagrus is plesiomorphic, with Butia is apomorphic, and with the coconut (Cocos nucifera) is explained by colonization events.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Levantamento da quiropterofauna (Mammalia : Chiroptera) da Ilha de Cotijuba - PA, com observações sobre sua ecologia(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1999) ROCHA, Mônica Monteiro Barros da; MARQUES-AGUIAR, Suely Aparecida; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8269757332399292Surveys of Amazonian bats have recorded the occurrence of at least 135 regional species of different feeding habits- insectivorous, frugivorous, polinivorous, carnivorous and hematophagous. Bats contribute to the balance of the Amazonian biota in different ways; e.g. population control of insects, dispersion of seeds and polinization. Flematophaguous bats are potentially dangerous to humans because were they can carry the rabies vírus. The objectives of the present study were: (a) inventory of the bat species of Cotijuba island - PA; (b) descriptions of the activity period, feeding habits, reproduction and roosting sites of the different species; (c) rabies diagnosis of the hematophagous bats coliected. Thirty-one species were recorded, two of which lack more detailed taxonomic studies for diagnosis. Most of the species are frugivorous (for example, Carollia spp., Artibeus spp., Uroderrna spp.), i.e. potential seed dispersers of the local flora. Two hematophagous species were observed: Desmodus rotundus (about 8% of the sample) and Diaemus youngi (less than 1% of the sample). The rabies vírus was not recorded, but there are records of attacks by bats on humans and domestic animals, demanding continuous analyses of new samples, for effective health care monitoring.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Os mosquitos (Diptera : Culicidae) da Estação Científica Ferreira Penna - ECFPn, Caxiuanã, Melgaço Pará, Brasil: ataque, sazonalidade e estratificação arbórea(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1996-12-10) ROCHA, José Almir Moraes da; BARATA, José Maria Soares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5244792275470127; MASCARENHAS, Bento Melo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3279744837272788This research was developted in 1995 from February to December, at the Ferreira Penna Research Station, in the municipality of Melgaço, state of Pará, within the Caxiuanã National Forest, with the objective of study the seasonal and daily activities in the forest and anthropic environment and the levels at which various species are found in the forest. The collects were made using human bait and CDC light trap with bird bait in the forest at ground and canopy and human bait in the anthropic environment. The total collection consisted of 1.919 mosquitoes belonging to the genera Aedes Meigen, 1818, Anopheles Meigen, 1818, Haemagogus Williston, 1896, Psorophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1827, Culex Linnaeus, 1758, Coquillettidia Dyar, 1905, Mansonia Blanchard, 1904, Uranotaenia Lynch-Arribalzaga, 1891, Limatus Theobald, 1901, Phoniomyia Theobald, 1903, Ruchomyia Theobald, 1903, Sabethes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1827, Trichoprosopon Theobald, 1901 e Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901. The predominant species were Culex (Melanoconion) portes! Senevet & Abonnec, 1941 (50,65%), Coquillettídia (Rhynchotaenia) venezuelensis (Theobald, 1912) (9,17%) and Haemagogus (Haemagogus) janthinomys Dyar, 1921 (6,51%). The daily and seasonal activities of mosquitoes species was correlated with temperature, relative humidity and rainfall, using the Spearman correlation, and statistically significant relations were found for some species with these factors. The hypothesis of the significative difference between the species and exemplaries mosquitoes number at ground and canopy was tested using X² test, that was just significant between the exemplaries mosquitoes number at ground and canopy in human bait in the forest.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Variação geográfica de Osteocephalus taurinus Steindachner, 1862 (Amphibia : Anura : Hylidae)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2001-06) ESTUPIÑÁN-TRISTANCHO, Ruth Amanda; OREN, David Conway; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5451507856491990Osteocephalus taurinus is an Amazonian and Orinochian nominal species with a wide geographic distribution. Its great morphologic variation has suggested that O. taurinus is in fact a species complex. This study examines the geographic variation of morphometric and morphologic characters. The species complex hypothesis is tested. Simultaneously, in order to explain the present body form distribution by biogeographic, rainfall and ecological patterns previously established for Amazonia, these patterns were assessed. From total 431 specimens studied, 16 populations were selected for analysis 20 of inner anatomic structures, 14 morphometric and 6 morphologic external characteres. Statistical analyses and isoline maps indicated that O. taurinus not is a especies complex and exist a interpopulation and intrapopulation variation on the morphometry and morphology of O. taurinus. Polymorphic anatomical characters ocurrs in this species. The first axis of a principal component analysis showed a clinal variation of body size along the entire geographic distribution was most plainly evident in males. Clinal variaton in other characters studied was independent of cline. Spatial size distribution indicated the largest specimens occur in the Amazon lands low, where rainforest vegetation divides savanna areas to the north and south of South America. These two last areas more often presented the smaller forms. In this study, the distribution observed for O. taurinus was not explained by traditional divisions of Amazonia, and suggest some noise generated by high intrapopulational variation. This spatial model of O. taurhius body size did not show a pattern of isolation by distance, which may suggest a recent arca colonization by this species. Simultaneusly, the study confirms the early Pliocenic origin hypothesis for Osteocephalus, which allowed O. taurinus had time to disperse before the Andes emerged as a geographical barrier.
