O presente trabalho relata pela primeira vez a coleta de Psychodopygus lloydi no Estado do Paraná, Região Sul do Brasil, na divisa com o Estado de Santa Catarina. Os espécimes foram capturados no Município de São Mateus do Sul, usando armadilhas de Falcão, na margem e no interior de mata, em nível de solo e copa, respectivamente, entre as 18 e 6 horas. O resultado deste trabalho contribui para o avanço do conhecimento da distribuição geográfica dos flebotomíneos no Brasil.

Chimarra (Curgia) paucispina sp. nov., of the aurivittata group Flint, 1998 is described and illustrated from specimens collected in Amazonas State. The key to species of Chimarra (Curgia) Walker, 1860 presented by Flint was modified to include the new species. Chimarra (Chimarrita) chela Blahnik, 1997 and Chimarra (Curgia) jugescens Flint, 1998 are for first time reported for the Amazonas State. This is the first record of C. chela in Brazil.

Host plants of Cerambycidae and Vesperidae (Coleoptera, Chrysomeloidea) from South America. This paper offers a contribution to the knowledge on host plants of Cerambycidae and Vesperidae (Coleoptera, Chrysomeloidea) from South America. A total of 211 species of longhorn beetles belonging to 111 genera, 49 tribes, five subfamilies and two families are presented with records of host plants. Data on 259 species of host plants distributed among 188 genera and 69 families are listed with the beetle species.

Soil physical quality is essential to global sustainability of agroecosystems, once it is related to processes that are essential to agricultural crop development. This study aimed to evaluate physical attributes of a Yellow Latossol under different management systems in the savanna area in the state of Piaui. This study was developed in Uruçuí southwest of the state of Piauí. Three systems of soil management were studied: an area under conventional tillage (CT) with disk plowi and heavy harrow and soybean crop; an area under no-tillage with soybean-maize rotation and millet as cover crop (NT + M); two areas under Integrated Crop-Livestock System, with five-month pasture grazing and soybean cultivation and then continuous pasture grazing (ICL + S and ICL + P, respectively). Also, an area under Native Forest (NF) was studied. The soil depths studied were 0.00-0.05, 0.05-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m. Soil bulk density, as well as porosity and stability of soil aggregates were analyzed as physical attributes. Anthropic action has changed the soil physical attributes, in depth, in most systems studied, in comparison to NF. In the 0.00 to 0.05 m depth, ICL + P showed higher soil bulk density value. As to macroporosity, there was no difference between the management systems studied and NF. The management systems studied changed the soil structure, having, as a result, a small proportion of soil in great aggregate classes (MWD). Converting native forest into agricultural production systems changes the soil physical quality. The Integrated Crop-Livestock System did not promote the improvement in soil physical quality.

O P é um dos macronutrientes primários essenciais para a produção vegetal. Apesar de ser o menos absorvido pelas plantas, é o mais utilizado nas adubações nos solos das regiões tropicais e subtropicais úmidas. Isso ocorre porque o P tem grande interação com os óxidos de Fe e Al, abundantes nessas condições. O estudo dessas interações é importante para se conhecer melhor a relação entre os constituintes do solo e a adsorção de P. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar como os componentes da fração argila antes e após a dissolução seletiva dos óxidos de Fe dos solos e alguns de seus atributos mineralógicos influenciam na capacidade máxima de adsorção de P (CMAP). Para isso, foram utilizadas 20 amostras da fração argila isolada do horizonte B de solos do Estado do Paraná, as quais foram caracterizadas em seus atributos químicos e mineralógicos. Nesses solos, a CMAP e a área superficial específica externa (ASE) foram determinadas na fração argila natural (CMAP, ASE) e desferrificada (CMAPd, ASEd). Os valores de CMAP não apresentaram tendência definida com a dissolução seletiva dos óxidos de Fe. Em 13 amostras, a CMAPd foi maior do que a CMAP. Na fração argila natural, os teores de Fe d variaram entre 25,89 e 108,79, e os de Al d, entre 6,69 e 30,09 g kg-1. As formas de Al livre (Al d) e de baixo grau de cristalinidade (Al o) apresentaram maiores coeficientes de correlação com a CMAP e com a CMAPd (r = 0,66 e 0,70, respectivamente). Entre os atributos químicos analisados, o P remanescente (Prem) pode ser utilizado na estimativa da CMAP.

Recent studies assessing the role of biological diversity for ecosystem functioning indicate that the diversity of functional traits and the evolutionary history of species in a community, not the number of taxonomic units, ultimately drives the biodiversity-ecosystem-function relationship. Here, we simultaneously assessed the importance of plant functional trait and phylogenetic diversity as predictors of major trophic groups of soil biota (abundance and diversity), six years from the onset of a grassland biodiversity experiment. Plant functional and phylogenetic diversity were generally better predictors of soil biota than the traditionally used species or functional group richness. Functional diversity was a reliable predictor for most biota, with the exception of soil microorganisms, which were better predicted by phylogenetic diversity. These results provide empirical support for the idea that the diversity of plant functional traits and the diversity of evolutionary lineages in a community are important for maintaining higher abundances and diversity of soil communities.
