Influência dos teores de cálcio e de magnésio trocáveis, da capacidade de troca de cátions e do índice de saturação em bases sobre a fixação de zinco pelo solo

Foram estudados os efeitos dos teores de Ca2+ e de Mg2+ trocáveis, das capacidades de troca de cátions e dos índices de saturação em bases de 30 amostras de terra sobre o poder de fixação de Zn das mesmas. Foram encontradas correlações positivas e significativas ao nível de 1% entre as capacidades de fixação de Zn das terras e as variáveis mencionadas.

Estudo comparativo da incidência de antracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) em cultivares de pimenta-do-reino (Piper nigrum L.), recém introduzidos em Porto Velho, Rondônia

Em um experimento conduzido em área experimental da EMBRAPA, UEPAE de Porto Velho, Rondônia, localizado no km 5,5 da BR-364, com latitude sul 8º46'5", longitude 63°5' de Greenwich e altitude de 96,3 metros acima do nível do mar, avaliou - se em 5 cultivares de Pimenta - do - reino (Piper nigrum L.), por ocasião da primeira produção, 18 meses após plantio, a incidência da doença antracnose provocada pelo fungo Colletotrichum gloeosporioides e a porcentagem de desfolha das plantas, correlacionando-as com a produtividade dos cultivares. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que: o cultivar Guajarina mostrou ser menos susceptível a antracnose e mais resistente a desfolha; os cultivares Bragantina, Cingapura e Djambi comportaram-se de maneira semelhante com relação a desfolha; os cultivares Bragantina e Cingapura, foram iguais entre si e menos susceptíveis com relação a antracnose quando comparados com os cultivares Djambi e Belantung, enquanto que o cultivar Belantung mostrou ser mais susceptível à antracnose e menos resistente a desfolha.

Ecology of colonizing populations of the figfly Zaprionus indianus (Diptera, Drosophilidae) in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil

Ecological parameters such as trophic niche overlap and niche breadth were computed from the frequency of all drosophilid species collected in 2001 and 2002, in the urban area of Porto Alegre city, Brazil. Independently of place, drosophilids community composition and components breeding or feeding sites, the highest frequencies of Zaprionus indianus (Gupta, 1970) were obtained during seasons with higher average temperatures, especially during summer. From a total of the 19,146 individuals of Z. indianus sampled, 80% were found in this season. The data of trophic niche breadth suggest a higher opportunism of adult flies in feeding substrate use, but the females are still selective in oviposition substrate choice. For the values of niche overlap, only for some species, did we find any correlation between these and species richness and/or number of resources, and the most of the correlation values considering breeding and feeding sites were positive. The colonization of Z. indianus in Porto Alegre could be leading to adjustments in the survival strategies of the resident species, but it is possible that many species have conditions for coexisting with the invader.

Two decades of colonization of the urban environment of Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, by Drosophila paulistorum (Diptera, Drosophilidae)

Drosophila paulistorum Dobzhansky & Pavan, 1949 had initially been considered absent in anthropogenically disturbed environments, but in 1985 the detection of the species in Porto Alegre city, southern Brazil, suggested its potential to colonize new habitats and laid the foundations for ecologic studies on this species' populations. This study followed the variations in D. paulistorum populations in this town almost 20 years after its first local record. Drosophilid specimens were collected in sites with different urbanization grades and the results point to the expressive decline in D. paulistorum populations in Porto Alegre. This decline may be linked to urban growth and to naturally driven population decline, as imputed to climatic changes like variations in maximum and minimum temperatures as a consequence of a global climate warming. Also, the recent introduction of exotic species Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970 seems to play a role in this scenario, changing the interactions between native species.
