Mesostigmatid mites (Acari : Mesostigmata) on rainforest tree trunks: Arboreal specialists, but substrate generalists?

Predatory mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) on tree trunks without significant epiphytic growth in a subtropical rainforest in Eastern Australia were assessed for habitat specificity (i.e. whether they are tree trunk specialists or occupying other habitats) and the influence of host tree and bark structure on their abundance, species richness and species composition. The trunks of nine tree species from eight plant families representing smooth, intermediate and rough bark textures were sampled using a knockdown insecticide spray. In total, 12 species or morphospecies of Mesostigmata (excluding Uropodina sensu stricto) were collected, most of which are undescribed. Comparison with collections from other habitats indicates that epicorticolous Mesostigmata are mainly represented by suspended soil dwellers (six species), secondarily by generalists (four species) and a bark specialist (one species). A typical ground-dwelling species was also found but was represented only by a single individual. In terms of abundance, 50.5% of individuals were suspended soil dwellers, 40.7% bark specialists, and 8.3% generalists. Host species and bark roughness had no significant effect on abundance or species richness. Furthermore, there was no clear effect on species composition. The distribution of the most frequently encountered species suggests that most mesostigmatid mites living on bark use many or most rainforest tree species, independent of bark roughness. These findings support the hypothesis that some epicorticolous Mesostigmata use tree trunks as 'highways' for dispersing between habitat patches, while others use it as a permanent habitat.

A review of placoderm scales, and their significance in placoderm phylogeny

An historical review of the literature relating to placoderm scales preserved in association with articulated dermal plates, or as isolated units in microvertebrate assemblages, is followed by a discussion of their relevance in phylogenetic analyses of the Placodermi. The dentinous tissue forming the tubercles of Early Devonian acanthothoracid scales and dermal bone is similar to that of the dermal bone ornament of some osteostracans, and denticles of the vertebrate Skiichthys from the Ordovician Harding Sandstone. This similarity supports the proposition that the gnathostomes are the sister-group of the Osteostraci, with the Placodermi branching earliest within the gnathostomes, and the Acanthothoraci branching earliest within the Placodermi. The meso-semidentine in acanthothoracid tubercles, rather than semidentine (sensu stricto), is most likely to be synapomorphic for the Placodermi.

CONTRIBUIÇÃO DOS CURSOS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO LATO-SENSU PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE GESTORES DE COMUNICAÇÃO ORGANIZACIONAL: ESTUDO DE CASO - GESTCORP

A gestão eficiente da comunicação organizacional representa um diferencial estratégico para qualquer organização, pública ou privada. A conscientização sobre a importância do executivo que fica à frente dessa área aumentou, no entanto, a nova realidade das organizações reduziu ao mínimo o quadro de funcionários de comunicação nas empresas. Esse cenário provocou mudanças na expectativa das competências e atuação do profissional desejado. Junto com o reconhecimento, veio a exigência do mercado de trabalho em encontrar pessoas completas para exercer a função. O Gestor de Comunicação, no cumprimento de seus objetivos, necessitará de uma visão ampla e ética, que contemple ao mesmo tempo, interesses institucionais e interesses dos públicos envolvidos. A atuação profissional à frente dessa área vai requerer, de qualquer indivíduo, domínio de conhecimentos técnicos e teóricos. Habilitar pessoas para atender essa demanda tem sido objetivo de cursos oferecidos em instituições de ensino superior em todas as regiões do país. Essas iniciativas, na maioria das vezes, são promovidas no âmbito da pós-graduação lato sensu. Desse modo, parte deste estudo será dedicada a contextualizar esta modalidade de ensino no universo da pósgraduação brasileira, verificando, inclusive, dados que se referem a sua regulação junto ao MEC. Além disso, o estudo pretende conhecer o contexto e o processo de formação dos profissionais/estudantes que buscam aprimoramento por meio desses cursos. Para atender esse objetivo, analisaremos a experiência de 10 anos de realização do Gestcorp - Curso de Gestão Estratégica de Comunicação Organizacional e Relações Públicas. Trata-se de um curso de especialização oferecido pela Escola de Comunicações e Artes da USP cujo propósito é formar gestores de comunicação organizacional para atuarem em instituições públicas, privadas ou do terceiro setor. Esperamos que este estudo possa esclarecer e/ou responder algumas indagações, entre elas: Qual o perfil do público que busca a especialização em Gestão da Comunicação Organizacional? Quais temáticas estão demandando estudos nesta área? Onde podem atuar estes formandos?.(AU)

SABERES E PRÁTICAS DOCENTES EM CURSOS DE LATO SENSU

Segundo dados do INEP (2007) temos cerca de 8.866 cursos de lato sensu no Brasil e, consequentemente, o número de docentes que atuam no ensino superior se torna um crescente, se observarmos os dados do Censo da Educação Superior de 2010, onde foi registrado 345.335 vínculos de funções docentes em exercício nas instituições de educação superior. Baseados nestes dados surgem as seguintes questões: quais são os saberes e as práticas pedagógicas destes docentes diante do ensino no lato sensu? Como os professores que atuam neste segmento, se constituem docentes, tendo em vista que nem sempre a sua formação é pedagógica? A formação para a atuação nesta modalidade é prevista no Artigo 66 da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, que afirma que a preparação para o exercício no magistério superior se fará em nível de pós-graduação, prioritariamente em Programas de Mestrado e/ou Doutorado e sabemos que não há, especificamente, uma indicação de formação pedagógica para a docência. Assim, a investigação sobre as questões acima anunciadas se realizou por meio de uma pesquisa sobre a trajetória formativa e profissional de docentes que atuam no lato sensu, para identificarmos se a falta de formação pedagógica influencia/influenciou seus saberes e práticas docentes, como construíram sua identidade de professor ao longo de sua carreira, e sobre qual a real motivação para tornar-se professor. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são quatro professores que atuam em uma Instituição particular em São Paulo/Capital. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas para a coleta de dados e organização de categorias de análises por meio da metodologia de análise de conteúdo. Esta pesquisa teve também uma contextualização histórica sobre a legislação do lato sensu e uma discussão teórica sobre saberes e práticas docentes direcionadas para o ensino superior. A análise dos dados confirmou a hipótese de que os professores que atuam no lato sensu resgatam seus saberes e práticas de experiências vivenciadas quando eram alunos, tomando como modelo referências que tiveram ao longo de sua trajetória formativa e profissional. Foi constatado que na maioria das vezes, o professor só procura a formação pedagógica após já estar inserido no contexto da atuação no lato sensu, dependendo quase que exclusivamente, de uma busca por iniciativa própria, uma vez que a legislação não pré-determina qual o perfil deste professor para atuação no lato sensu. Constituem-se docentes de maneira gradual e a formação pedagógica é mais uma possibilidade para a atuação, uma vez que em primeiro lugar vem a experiência da prática profissional de sua área de formação de origem.

(Table 1) Planktonic foraminifera counts and stable oxygen isotope ratios of Pacific Ocean surface sediments

Core-top samples from the eastern tropical Pacific (10°N to 20°S) were used to test whether the ratio between Globorotalia menardii cultrata and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei abundance (Rc/d) and the oxygen isotope composition (?18O) of planktonic foraminifera can be used as proxies for the latitudinal position of the Equatorial Front. Specifically, this study compares the ?18O values of eight species of planktonic foraminifera (Globigerinoides ruber sensu stricto (ss) and sensu lato (sl), Globigerinoides sacculifer, Globigerinoides triloba, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata, Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, Globorotalia menardii menardii, Globorotalia menardii cultrata and Globorotalia tumida) with the seasonal hydrography of the region, and evaluates the application of each species or combination of species for paleoceanographic reconstructions. The results are consistent with sea surface temperature and water column stratification patterns. We found that in samples north of 1°N, the Rc/d values tend to be higher and d18O values of G. ruber, G. sacculifer, G. triloba, P. obliquiloculata, N. dutertrei, and G. menardii cultrata tend to be lower than those from samples located south of 1°N. We suggest that the combined use of Rc/d and the d18O difference between G. ruber and G. tumida or between P. obliquiloculata and G. tumida are the most suitable tools for reconstructing changes in the latitudinal position of the Equatorial Front and changes in the thermal stratification of the upper water column in the eastern tropical Pacific.

Respostas ecofisiológicas de Cybistax antisyphilitica Mart. (Ipê verde) em função das alterações na intensidade de luz

Light varies widely in both time and space in forest formation of “Bioma Cerrado”. Cybistax antisyphilitica occurs in areas typical of this biome, such as cerrado sensu stricto, “cerradões”, and altered areas. The aim of this study was to understand the morphological and physiological responses of C. antisyphilitica to alterations in light intensity. Juvenile plants (5 month of age) were taken to a fragment of semideciduous forest in Uberlândia-MG, and were divided into three treatments: 50 were maintained under the canopy (UC) 20 were kept in small gap (SG) and 20 were maintained under in full sun (FS). The daily courses of chlorophyll a fluorescence were made at the beginning, middle and end of dry season in 2015. At the end of the experiment measurements of chlorophyll content, gas exchange and growth were made. The plants showed dynamic photoinhibition as exhibited by reductions on Fv/Fm close to midday at the end of the dry season. Regarding the effective quantum yield (ΔF/Fm'), plants under FS showed reduced values that coincided with the higher values of electron transport rates (ETR). Plants under FS showed higher values of net CO2 assimilation rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates, water use efficiency and chlorophyll content compared to plants under UC. The stem diameter, dry mass of leaves and stem, total dry mass and relative growth rate were higher in plants under FS than plants under UC. On the other hand, plants under UC showed superior values of height, specific leaf area and leaf area ratio. Our results indicate that C. antisyphilitica has plasticity to survive in the contrasting light environments of the semideciduous forests, but this species was able to growth better under full sun conditions.

(Table 1) Pore-water composition of ODP Leg 126 sites

The Ocean Drilling Program Leg 126 sites may be classified into two categories depending on the presence (Group I: Sites 787, 792, and 793) or absence (Group II: Sites 788, 790, and 791) of steep concentration gradients. Shipboard X-ray diffraction analyses of bulk sediments from Group I sites revealed the presence of a number of diagenetic minerals (some of which are incompatible), but no systematic diagenetic zonation. The results of the chemical analyses of the pore waters from Group I have been used to estimate the activities of dissolved species. Thermodynamic analyses of the composition of the pore waters and the stability of authigenic minerals (gypsum, zeolites, feldspars, smectites, chlorites, and micas) show that the pore waters are close to equilibrium with most of the observed phases. Thus, only a small perturbation of the system (substitution in minerals and fluctuations in pore-water composition, in particular, in pH and SiO2 activity) will cause any of these phases to precipitate. Therefore, one would not expect mineralogical observations to show systematic vertical zonations at these sites. It is suggested that chlorites and high-temperature zeolites are not diagenetic sensu stricto, but were eroded from volcaniclastic highs. The absence of concentration gradients at the Group II sites has been analyzed in terms of reaction kinetics, hydrothermal advection, and temperature distribution. The absence of diagenetic imprints on the pore-water concentration profiles at these sites is probably caused by the slow nucleation of silica phases.

Radiocarbon age, Mg/Ca and d18O measurements on planktonic foraminifera of sediment core GeoB12605-3

The sea surface temperature (SST) of the tropical Indian Ocean is a major component of global climate teleconnections. While the Holocene SST history is documented for regions affected by the Indian and Arabian monsoons, data from the near-equatorial western Indian Ocean are sparse. Reconstructing past zonal and meridional SST gradients requires additional information on past temperatures from the western boundary current region. We present a unique record of Holocene SST and thermocline depth variations in the tropical western Indian Ocean as documented in foraminiferal Mg/Ca ratios and d18O from a sediment core off northern Tanzania. For Mg/Ca and thermocline d18O, most variance is concentrated in the centennial to bicentennial periodicity band. On the millennial time scale, an early to mid-Holocene (~7.8-5.6 ka) warm phase is followed by a temperature drop by up to 2°C, leading to a mid-Holocene cool interval (5.6-4.2 ka). The shift is accompanied by an initial reduction in the difference between surface and thermocline foraminiferal d18O, consistent with the thickening of the mixed layer and suggestions of a strengthened Walker circulation. However, we cannot confirm the expected enhanced zonal SST gradient, as the cooling of similar magnitude had previously been found in SSTs from the upwelling region off Sumatra and in Flores air temperatures. The SST pattern probably reflects the tropical Indian Ocean expression of a large-scale climate anomaly rather than a positive Indian Ocean Dipole-like mean state.

Age model and palaeoclimate records over the past 22,000 years of sediment core GeoB10053-7

The Australian-Indonesian monsoon is an important component of the climate system in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. However, its past variability, relation with northern and southern high-latitude climate and connection to the other Asian monsoon systems are poorly understood. Here we present high-resolution records of monsoon-controlled austral winter upwelling during the past 22,000 years, based on planktic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes and faunal composition in a sedimentary archive collected offshore southern Java. We show that glacial-interglacial variations in the Australian-Indonesian winter monsoon were in phase with the Indian summer monsoon system, consistent with their modern linkage through cross-equatorial surface winds. Likewise, millennial-scale variability of upwelling shares similar sign and timing with upwelling variability in the Arabian Sea. On the basis of element composition and grain-size distribution as precipitation-sensitive proxies in the same archive, we infer that (austral) summer monsoon rainfall was highest during the Bølling-Allerød period and the past 2,500 years. Our results indicate drier conditions during Heinrich Stadial 1 due to a southward shift of summer rainfall and a relatively weak Hadley cell south of the Equator. We suggest that the Australian-Indonesian summer and winter monsoon variability were closely linked to summer insolation and abrupt climate changes in the northern hemisphere.

Planktonic foraminiferal flux and shell geochemistry data in the sediment trap time series JAM 1-3 off south Java

Results from sediment trap experiments conducted in the seasonal upwelling area off south Java from November 2000 until July 2003 revealed significant monsoon-, El Niño-Southern Oscillation-, and Indian Ocean Dipole-induced seasonal and interannual variations in flux and shell geochemistry of planktonic foraminifera. Surface net primary production rates together with total and species-specific planktonic foraminiferal flux rates were highest during the SE monsoon-induced coastal upwelling period from July to October, with three species Globigerina bulloides, Neogloboquadrina pachyderma dex., and Globigerinita glutinata contributing to 40% of the total foraminiferal flux. Shell stable oxygen isotopes (d18O) and Mg/Ca data of Globigerinoides ruber sensu stricto (s.s.), G. ruber sensu lato (s.l.), Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata, and Globorotalia menardii in the sediment trap time series recorded surface and subsurface conditions. We infer habitats of 0-30 m for G. ruber at the mixed layer depth, 60-80 m (60-90 m) for P. obliquiloculata (N. dutertrei) at the upper thermocline depth, and 90-110 m (100-150 m) for G. menardii in the 355-500 mm (>500 µm) size fraction corresponding to the (lower) thermocline depth in the study area. Shell Mg/Ca ratio of G. ruber (s.l. and s.s.) reveals an exponential relationship with temperature that agrees with published relationships particularly with the Anand et al. (2003) equations. Flux-weighted foraminiferal data in sediment trap are consistent with average values in surface sediment samples off SW Indonesia. This consistency confirms the excellent potential of these proxies for reconstructing past environmental conditions in this part of the ocean realm.
