The aerial activities, leaps and slaps with parts of the body in the surface of water, are part of the behavioral repertoire of several species of cetaceans. Among them, the spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris, shows greater diversity in such behavior. For the spinner dolphins of Fernando de Noronha, the aerial activities are classified as vertical and horizontal, with eight patterns to be noted (tail slap, head slap, motor boating, partial leap, leap, spin, tail over head and tail over head with spin) discriminated between these categories. Such behaviors can be used as a parameter to identify behavioral changes, as well as patterns of daily and seasonal activity. In this manner, this study aimed to characterize the frequency in performance of such activity while the dolphins were within the Dolphin Bay of Fernando de Noronha, and verify possible daily and seasonal hourly fluctuations on such behaviors. The data analyzed in this study was acquired during the period of January 2006 through December 2010, totaling 1431 days of observation from land set point, with 113027 aerial activities registered, daily average of 72,27 (SD=96,10). During 5478h and 54 min of observation the horizontal aerial activity was the most observed and rotation was the most executed pattern. Greater frequency of execution of aerial activity was observed in adults, but for both adults and calves, was observed a predominance of horizontal activities, with spin being the pattern most executed. Positive correlation was observed between the amount of aerial activity performed and the number of animals inside the Bay. Hourly daily fluctuation was observed in the expression of aerial activities by spinner dolphins, and was observed a peak of activity between 8h and 8h59min for the overall frequency relative of aerial activities, as well as for the categories and patterns. Seasonal differences were observed between the rainy and dry season with the greater amount of activity being observed during the rainy season. Nevertheless, the same profile of frequency relative of aerial activity was observed in both seasons with the peak amount being during the same period. When discriminated the aerial activities in categories and patterns, for both seasons, there was a similar pattern of hourly fluctuation; for most of parameters, higher frequency relative of execution of aerial activity remain between 8h and 8h59min

We analyze the response of Unruh-DeWitt detectors in the presence of inertial scalar sources. We show that, in general, a detector responds to the corresponding Coulomb field. However, in some cases, pure vacuum contributions can overwhelm the influence of the Coulomb field rendering the effect of the external source on the detector's response arbitrarily small. We revisit in this context the celebrated question of whether uniformly accelerated observers can see the radiation coming from an inertial charge, and point out the present impediments to answering this question.

The ultrastructure of the sperm of the gecarcinid land crab Cardisoma guanhumi is described by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Ultrastructural sperm morphology lends support for the monophyletic origin of the Thoracotremata, and for the placement of C. guanhumi in that clade. Additionally, it further attests the low level of variability within the thoracotreme clade. With regard to ultrastructural morphology, small differences concerning the apical button, the hyaline periopercular rim, the inner acrosome zone, and the outer two lamellations in the outer acrosome zone have been found between the spermatozoa of C. guanhumi and Cardisoma carnifex, the only other species in this genus studied for spermatozoal morphology.

Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828) (Siluriformes, Callichthyidae) é um peixe de médio porte, conhecido na Amazônia brasileira como tamoatá, sendo o principal recurso pesqueiro da ilha de Marajó. A pesca do tamoatá é realizada de forma artesanal, principalmente na região do lago Arari, Município de Santa Cruz do Arari, sendo que sua comercialização nos centros urbanos é feita por intermédio de barcos conhecidos como geleiras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever os aspectos da pesca do tamoatá na ilha de Marajó e relacionar a abundância desta espécie com os dias gastos pelas geleiras para completar a sua carga e com a quantidade de chuva. A pesca artesanal comercial do tamoatá é aqui descrita com base em observações de campo e entrevistas com pescadores, sendo realizada basicamente por redes de arrasto e no período de estiagem, quando o nível da água do rio e do lago Arari está baixo. A estimativa de abundância do tamoatá na ilha de Marajó foi baseada na relação entre o total desembarcado no porto do Ver-O-Peso, em Belém, e o número de dias que os barcos geleira esperam para encher suas urnas. A precipitação foi medida pela estação meteorológica de Soure, situada na porção leste da ilha de Marajó. A análise de covariância (ANCOVA) dos dados mensais referentes aos anos 1994 a 2004 apontou uma relação significativa entre estas variáveis, sendo o total desembarcado apresentando-se diretamente proporcional ao número de dias-geleiras e inversamente proporcional à chuva mensal. Por outro lado, observou-se ainda uma relação significativa entre o volume de chuva anual e o peso total de pescado capturado. Esta relação parece explicar a diminuição do desembarque do tamoatá nos dois períodos amostrados.
