Growth rate of the crab Dissodactylus crinitichelis Moreira, 1901 (Crustacea : Decapoda : Pinnotheroidea) under laboratory conditions

The goal of the present study was to investigate the growth rate of the crab Dissodactylus crinitiehelis, its molt increments, and the duration of the intermolt intervals under laboratory conditions, focusing on differences between sexes and between juvenile and adult phases. Crabs were collected at Flamengo Beach, Ubatuba, São Paulo State, Brazil, by scuba divers. In the laboratory, individuals were maintained in isolation and fed nauplii of Artemia sp. daily. The sex and carapace width of exuviae and dead crabs were recorded. During the juvenile phase, mean growth was 11.8 +/- 2.7% in males and 11.2 +/- 3.6% in females, with their respective intermolt intervals 25.4 +/- 9.2 and 26.4 +/- 8.3 d (mean +/- SD). After reaching morphological sexual maturity, the intermolt intervals increased to 33.4 10.1 d in males and 32.7 +/- 10.4 d in females, and the growth rates of both sexes slowed to 6.4 +/- 1.9% in males and 5.7 +/- 1.6% in females. There was a significant decrease in molt increment and an increase in intermolt intervals associated with the maturation from juveniles to adults, evidencing differential energy allocation during the last phase of ontogeny.

Helminthological records of six-banded Armadillos Euphractus sexcinctus (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Brazilian semi-arid region, Patos county, Paraiba state, including new morphological data on Trichohelix tuberculata (Parona and Stossich, 1901) Ortlepp, 1922 and proposal of Hadrostrongylus ransomi nov comb.

This work aimed to evaluate the gastrointestinal helminthfauna composition of six-banded armadillos from the Brazilian semi-arid region. Gastrointestinal contents of six road-killed adult animals from Patos County, Paraiba State, were analyzed. Six species of nematodes, comprising five genera and four families, were recovered from the analyzed animals. New morphological data on Trichohelix tuberculata is given, along with a new taxonomical proposal for Hadrostrongylus ransomi (Travassos, 1935) n. comb. This is the first record for parasitic helminths in this host from the Brazilian semi-arid.

Homenaje a Raúl Prebisch (1901-1986)

Se reúnen las presentaciones realizadas en abril de 2011, en la sede de CEPAL, con motivo de un homenaje al economista y Secretario Ejecutivo de CEPAL, Raúl Prebisch. En ellas se recogen reflexiones sobre la evolución y vigencia del pensamiento prebischiano, aspectos inéditos de su vida y testimonios de colegas que colaboraron con él en momentos cruciales de la historia de América Latina y del mundo de la posguerra.

Santa-Anna Nery: um propagandista “voluntário” da Amazônia (1883-1901)

A presente dissertação analisa sob o ponto de vista histórico, as obras Folclore Brasileiro e O País das Amazonas do intelectual amazônico Frederico de Santa-Anna Nery (1848-1901), procurando discutir a atuação política do autor durante o final do século XIX, abordando especificamente, seu papel na divulgação de uma identidade amazônica positiva no exterior, a qual estava atrelada a um processo maior de construção de identidades regionais e a um processo de modernização da Amazônia, elaborados pelas elites das quais o autor fazia parte.
