Análise da fragilidade natural do sítio urbano de Piracicaba (SP)

This research aims to analyze the natural fragility of Piracicaba Urban Site, through the analysis of a letter of Fragility Potential obtained through the data crossing the geomorphological cards, Pedologic Slope and use and occupation of the land to be developed during the project. The methodology to be used is that proposed by Ross (1990, 1994) together with the guided ideas Anthropogenic geomorphology, so that the man-made conditions of modification of the relief can be inserted in the final analyzes. The results showed that the Córrego do Enxofre Basin has high fragility of values, it is not a rich area for human occupation

MRT Letter: A Novel Tegumental Gland in Female Imagoes of the Neotropical Termite Cornitermes cumulans (Isoptera, Termitidae, Syntermitinae)

In general, the exocrine glands of social insects are structures involved in the chemical communication associated with social life. Here, we report the discovery of an unknown tegumental gland that is present in the female imagoes of Cornitermes cumulans and occurs next to the well-developed tergal glands that have previously been described. The tegumental glands release their secretion in the intersegmental membrane and are composed of bicellular units, a secretory cell and a canal cell, that are closely located to the epidermal cells in the inferior part of the eighth and ninth tergites. The ultrastructure of the glandular cells showed abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting that the secretion may be pheromonal, although its function is still unknown. These exocrine structures are facing the tergal glands, and we hypothesized that they act synergistically with the tergal glands to generate short-range attraction during tandem behavior. Microsc.
