A Multi-locus mixed mating model and correlated mating model were used to analyze the mating system of four natural populations of Peltophorum dubium (Sprengel) Taubert from Western Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Open pollinated seeds were collected from 19 to 33 seed-trees per population and evaluated by allozyme electrophoresis analysis. Significant differences between pollen and ovule gene frequencies were detected in more than 50% of loci in each population, indicating deviations from random mating, probably due to correlated mating, self-fertilizations and mating among relatives. The comparison the fixation index estimated from seed trees ((F) over cap (m), ranged from 0.009 to 0.285) with their progenies ((F) over cap (p), ranged from 0.127 to 0.364) suggested selection against inbreeding between offspring of adult stages. The estimates of multi-locus outcrossing rate (t(m)) ranged from 0.557 to 0.924, indicating that the species has a mixed-mating system. Differences between multi-locus and single-locus outcrossing rate (t(m)-t(s))was positive and significantly different from zero for all populations, with values ranging from 0.092 to 0.111, suggesting mating among relatives within the populations, probably due to the presence of intra-population spatial genetic structure. The mean coefficient of co-ancestry (Theta) within progenies ranged from 0.147 to 0.251; confirming that the progenies are compounded by mixtures of different kinds of relatedness. The results are discussed from the view of genetic improvement and conservation of the species.

The recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) at first, had its widespread use in dairy cows in order to increase milk production. Currently, it has been studied frequently and use their influence both in bovine milk, such as cutting. Its production has been an evolution to the science, using bacteria to produce recombinant DNA. Most authors that have studied and obtained positive results, such as increasing the number of ovarian follicles larger than five millimeters, among others. Its action takes place directly on the ovary, follicles, corpus luteum, the granulosa cells, oviduct, myometrium, endometrium and placenta, where they were found receptors, or indirectly through the release of insuline like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Therefore, the objective of this work is to explain the importance of bST in bovine as well as the usefulness of this, its mechanism of action and the benefits it can bring when combined with other biotechnology, such as superovulation, embryo transfer, synchronization of estrus, and others

The acceptance of biotechnology for the most equine breeders association had a significant effect in the horse industry, gaining popularity around the world, because the increasing on the genetic gain, allowing the use of sub fertile mares and stallions with high genetics value on reproduction. The embryos in vitro production of human and cattle has been used with success, however in vitro embryo production is not efficient in the horse, as oocyte transfer (OT) and intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI). The oocyte transfer has been used especially in subfertile old mares presenting reproductive pathologies as: endometrite, cervical and uterine adhesions, blocked oviduct, perineal laceration and ovulation failures. During oocyte recovery process, the oocytes must be collected from immature follicles that need be matured in vitro or in vivo matured oocytes from pre-ovulatory follicles through the transvaginal aspiration guided by ultrasound. The recovered oocyte is transferred to a previously inseminated recipient mare, through the flank laparotomy. The intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) is a procedure of in vitro fertilization that needs only one sperm that is aspirated and injected inside the oocyte. The oocytes used, can be from mature and immature follicles. Fresh, cooled and frozen semen can be used, because the procedure not requires a functional sperm. The use of Piezo drill resulted in a breakthrough the pellucid zone, allowing the vibration per minute provided in the sperm injection pipette, a major result of cleaved oocytes, due to a better sperm injection in the oocyte. The embryo transfer can be straight inside the oviduct, as also transcervical transferred after embryo culture produced in vitro. In conclusion both procedures (OT and ICSI) are effective to be used on equine assisted reproduction, getting results even lower than expected, but satisfactory from animal genetically superior

The Doppler ultrasound allows the assessment of blood flow and the differentiate vessels according to each spectral pattern, location and organ that irrigate, helping the examinations and disease diagnosis. The main methods used are Pulsed Doppler, Color Doppler and Power Doppler. In Brazil veterinary medicine, it shows progress since 1990, but its use is limited by the equipment high cost, the need for operator experience and patient cooperation. There are studies in obstetrics and reproduction of dogs and cats, such as evaluation of the testicular vasculature, including the use of contrast material, and attempts to evaluate prostate in healthy dogs or pathological conditions (cancer and testicular torsion , orchitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia; estrous cycle monitoring, evaluation of irrigation in follicles and corpus luteum, uterus and breasts (mammary tumors) in bitches; monitoring pregnancy from the assessment of maternal, fetal and placental hemodynamics, both in dogs as in cats, and aspirations for early detection of pregnancy in dogs. However, new studies are still required, given the lack of these species, especially cats

A captura do caranguejo-uçá (U. cordatus) constitui uma das principais fontes de alimento e renda para muitas comunidades litorâneas, sendo considerada uma das atividades extrativistas estuarinas mais antigas no Brasil. O Município de Cananéia (SP) faz parte da Área de Proteção Ambiental de Cananéia-Iguape-Peruíbe (APA/CIP), possuindo 72 km² de manguezais, que a partir de 1990 passaram a receber uma maior pressão de explotação dessa espécie pela introdução da “redinha”, um petrecho de pesca proibido por lei nas regiões sudeste-sul brasileiras (Portaria IBAMA nº 52/2003). O presente estudo visa avaliar a produção do recurso caranguejo-uçá em Cananéia (SP), identificando seu padrão explotatório recente, com vistas à sustentabilidade futura das capturas. Na avaliação foram utilizadas planilhas de dados disponibilizadas pelo Instituto de Pesca (APTA/SAA-SP), referentes aos anos de 2009 e 2010, além do acompanhamento de uma das rotinas de coleta, com realização de biometria dos caranguejos capturados. Os dados evidenciam que o uso da “redinha” apresenta falha de recolhimento de 3,6%, num total de 86,4% de produtividade, que permanecem nos manguezais, podendo (ou não) ser recolhidas por outro catador. Os dados das planilhas do IP/APTA/SAA-SP foram avaliados segundo o modelo linear generalizado (GLM), com base em seis variáveis (unidade produtiva, mês de captura, ano, fase lunar, setor produtivo e período reprodutivo da espécie), das quais o conhecimento empírico dos catadores, ano da pescaria e o setor produtivo, foram as variáveis que mais influenciaram as mudanças observadas na captura por unidade de esforço (CPUE) da espécie. Além disso, foram verificadas produtividades diferenciadas na extração de caranguejos entre os cinco setores estabelecidos, que caracterizam o Estuário de Cananéia nos dois anos analisados. A experiência na condução... (Resumo completo clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Haddadus binotatus é uma espécie endêmica de Mata Atlântica e ocorre desde o sul de Pernambuco até o Rio Grande do Sul. Apesar da sua ampla distribuição pouco se conhece da história natural dessa espécie. Haddadus binotatus apresenta desenvolvimento direto e ovos são depositados sob a serapilheira ou sob troncos caídos. Há dimorfismo sexual, sendo as fêmeas maiores do que os machos. O objetivo desse estudo é conhecer os padrões reprodutivos de populações de H. binotatus no continente e em ilhas do litoral do estado de São Paulo. Os objetivos específicos são: 1) avaliar as diferenças morfológicas entre populações de H. binotatus entre ilhas e entre ilhas-continente, 2) avaliar se há dimorfismo sexual em cada população, e 3) comparar os padrões reprodutivos entre populações insulares e continentais. Neste estudo, foram utilizados exemplares de H. binotatus, depositados na coleção de Anfíbios (CFBH), do departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biociências, UNESP, Campus de Rio Claro. Os exemplares são provenientes de uma localidade no continente (São Sebastião) e três ilhas (Couves, Queimada Grande e Ilhabela). Os exemplares provenientes das ilhas, com exceção daqueles da Ilha das Couves, foram maiores do que os da Juréia. Houve dimorfismo sexual em todas as populações, sendo as fêmeas maiores. As populações insulares apresentam número de ovócitos menor do que a população do continente (Juréia). O número de ovócitos semelhante aos da população da Juréia foi registrado para uma população em Minas Gerais, reforçando o padrão de que populações insulares têm desovas menores. No entanto, não houve diferença no tamanho dos ovos. As diferenças encontradas para as populações insulares podem ser resultado de recursos mais limitados como espaço e alimento, pelo tamanho das presas e/ou ausência de predadores. Este estudo preliminar representa... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The dairy sector has undergone considerable economic losses due to low fertility rates due to adverse effects of heat stress on reproduction of cows. Genetic selection for increased production, coupled with the expanding dairy to tropical areas of the planet, and global warming has further aggravated the problem of heat stress. The effects of heat stress are multifactorial and act directly or indirectly at various levels of reproductive tissues, resulting in low fertility of cows, which in practice, results in reduced reproductive efficiency in the property, reducing the producers’ profit. Some strategies related to breeding biotechnology such as fixed-time artificial insemination, embryo transfer and use of BST, can minimize these effects and improve the reproductive efficiency of the herd

O reconhecimento de braquiúros jovens, obtidos na natureza, é extremamente difícil, pois nesta fase os caranguejos não apresentam as mesmas características dos adultos. Além disso, há falta de estudos sobre o desenvolvimento pós-embrionário desses animais. Nada é conhecido sobre o desenvolvimento juvenil para os representantes da família Pseudorhombilidae. Este trabalho analisa o crescimento de Bathyrhombila sp., e apresenta detalhes morfológicos para identificação dos estágios de desenvolvimento. Os decapoditos de braquiúros foram coletados com redes de nêuston na região de Ubatuba, estado de São Paulo, Brasil. As larvas foram transportadas para o laboratório e cultivadas isoladamente em recipientes rotulados, contendo água do mar filtrada e aerada, além de alimentadas com nauplius de Artemia sp. Obteve-se 11 estágios juvenis para machos e 14 para fêmeas. A morfologia e o número de cerdas presentes nos apêndices são descritos, em especial, para o 1º estágio juvenil. Os caracteres sexuais secundários aparecem a partir do 4º estágio juvenil. Uma comparação com as demais espécies de caranguejos já estudadas evidenciou que Bathyrhombila sp. possui a forma da carapaça semelhante à de Eurytium limosum. Além disso, Bathyrhombila sp. possui cinco artículos no endopodito do segundo maxilípede, enquanto as outras espécies de Xanthoidea e Eriphioidea possuem quatro

Climate change in tropical countries, like Brazil, causes major problems in dairy production due to an increase of heat stress effects. In recent years, milk production in Brazil increased 36.07%. The Southeast region remains a leader in production with herds of high producing Holstein cattle (mostly), which is more susceptible to heat stress. Thermal stress decreases fertility in direct and indirect ways. Conception rates are reduced of 40-60% during cooler months of the year and 10-20% in the warmer months. Negative effects of heat stress involve changes in reproductive hormones, follicular development, oocytes, and embryos, and decreased dry matter intake. Several studies discuss change in reproductive hormones, such as reduction in plasma concentration of GnRH, LH, and oestradiol, which lead to decreased detection of estrus and ovulation. Various methods are being studied to bypass these negative effects and increase the fertility of dairy cows under heat stress. Cooling systems are the most advantageous and can be associated with technologies such as ET and TAI

In the last years Brazil has achieved a leading position in worldwide cattle breeding. This country is consolidating the practice of an intensive and technical level cattle breeding, due to greater emphasis on reproductive efficiency and genetic improvement. The attention given to reproductive efficiency became to enhance the genetic improvement process, by exploiting the full reproductive potential of the animals. The biotechniques applied to reproduction arised to expand the reproductive potential for greater economic return. Are the most important reproductive biotechniques the FTAI and in vivo and in vitro embryo production for embryo transfer. Different hormonal treatments are consolidating to interfere with normal physiology in order to achieve the desired goals. The FTAI works to increase the reproductive rates of cattle through pre-booked artificial insemination in all the females in reproduction, without the need for estrous detection. The in vivo and in vitro embryo production aims to distribute the genetics of males and females genetically improved by transferring their embryos to genetically inferior females. Superovulation treatments designed to prevent the mechanism of dominance, which results in many follicles ovulating simultaneously for in vivo embryo production. To the in vitro embryo production, the technique of ovarian puncture guided by transvaginal ultrasound allows to aspirate a number of quality oocytes. The application of biotech is based on knowledge of the female and ovarian reproductive physiology and knowledge of their acting in different breeds and environments.
