Residues generated from wood processing and transformation result in a considerable waste of raw material, which adds no value to such noble good. The purpose of this study was to determine the yield of sawn timber from Itaúba (Mezilaurus itauba) and Tauarí (Couratari guianensis) species. To this end, the volumetry and yield percentage of three logs from each species were classified and calculated. The Tauarí species resulted in yields for logs 1, 2 and 3, of 49.70% to 50.28% 39.20%, respectively; while for the Itaúba species, the yields for logs 1, 2 and 3 were of 51.03%; 50.29%; and 47.60%, respectively. It was not possible to verify whether the classification of log quality have influenced the yield.

Actually, the most used method to control ticks is synthetic acaricides with neurotoxic action. However, the use of these methods presents inconveniences, such as the contamination of the environment and risks to the host's health due to the residual effects. Thus, several studies have been developed aiming to find alternative ways to control these ectoparasites, such as the use of natural compounds with active ingredients, which act controlling some species of plagues in addition to presenting medicinal properties that are beneficial to humans. The present study aimed to analyze the action of andiroba oil (Carapa guianensis) on the synganglion of Rhipicephalus sanguineus semiengorged females through morphological and cytochemical techniques aiming to verify if this natural product have neurotoxic action as the numerous synthetic acaricides. The results showed that andiroba oil interferes in the synganglion through structural and enzymatic changes, which lead the nervous tissue to apoptotic death involving autophagy. Among these changes was observed the emergence of large empty spaces between the perineurium and the cortical region, vacuolated cortex cells and with cell swelling, neural cells with picnotic nuclei or in initial stage of chromatin margination and neuropile with high structural disorganization. Considering these data, it can be concluded that andiroba seed oil can be used as an alternative method in the control of R. sanguineus ticks due to its neurotoxic action. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Matayba guianensis Aubl . is a shrubby or arborial Sapindaceae quite common in the Brazilian Cerrado with a key role in providing resources for ants and bees. It presents a rapid growth, and is important for the recovery of degraded areas, but little is known about its seedlings production. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the morphology of the branch and the seed germination and of seedling Matayba guianensis Aubl . in its post-seminal development and define the type of substrate and container suitable for seedling emergence and seedling production of this species. We evaluated three types of containers: black polyethylene bags, cartridge and polystyrene tray, with 5 kinds of substrates: sand, earth, earth - sand - manure (1:1:1); commercial substrate, and coconut fiber, with 4 replicates of 25 seeds per treatment . The branch, fruit, seed, seedling and their morphological events were described. The branch is cylindrical with paripinnate and alternate leaves, the fruit is dry and dehiscent. The seeds have a large amount of aryl, and the germination is cryptocotylar and hypogeal. The highest percentage of emergence occurred in styrofoam container with 91 % of the seeds germinated in commercial substrate , followed by coconut fiber (88 %). The development of root and stem were higher in tubes and plastic bags , using coconut fiber or commercial substrate.

Dentre os mamíferos marinhos presentes na costa brasileira, Sotalia guianensis (subordem Odontoceti, família Delphinidae) é um dos mais comumente encontrados, possuindo ampla distribuição pela América do Sul e Central. Pelo fato de apresentar hábito costeiro, esta espécie encontra-se diretamente relacionada com impactos de origem antrópica tais como poluição, pesca acidental ou degradação de habitats. Somado a estes fatores, a falta de informações relatada pela IUCN surge como outro ponto de preocupação, visto que não se sabe de fato qual o grau de conservação dessa espécie. Por este motivo o presente estudo pretende avaliar características populacionais existentes nos grupos de S. guianensis na região do Lagamar de Cananéia, litoral sul de São Paulo, utilizando-se de microssatélites. Para tanto, aspectos referentes à diversidade genética, grau de parentesco e fluxo gênico entre áreas estuarinas e de mar aberto foram considerados. A amostragem é composta por 22 tecidos oriundos de indivíduos de mar aberto e 11 estuarinos, coletados entre os anos de 1996 e 2009. O material foi amplificado por PCR utilizando-se de oito locos específicos para a espécie. O presente estudo concluiu que a diversidade genética (número de alelos, riqueza alélica, heterozigosidade esperada e observada) ocorrente no grupo de estudo é considerada como moderada quando comparada a outras populações de S. guianensis estudadas. Após a retirada dos locos com indício da presença de alelos nulos, a população mostrou-se em equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg, como revelado também pelo valor de FIS. Corroborando com o nível de diversidade genética encontrado, foram avaliados baixos índices de parentesco, sem diferenças significativas entre os grupos em comparação (estuário e mar aberto), bem como entre os sexos, indicando a ausência de dispersão sexo assimétrica...

The allelopathic potential of leaf extracts from the medicinal plant Myrcia guianensis (Aubl.) DC. was studied in Petri dish bioassays on sorghum and determined the seed germination, germination rate index (GRI), root growth, secondary root number, the genes involved in root development (SHR, PHB, PHV and REV) and microRNA 166 that regulates these genes. The hydroalcoholic extract was more inhibitory than methanol extract (moderate inhibition) and aqueous extract at 25 and 100% concentration were least inhibitory. Application of higher dose of hydroalcoholic M. guianenesis leaf extracts on sorghum seeds, inhibited the root development and changed the expression of SHR and PHB genes and microRNA 166. This suggested that the expression of these genes could be indicator of allelopathic potential for inhibition of root development in sorghum.
