A conservação de germoplasma de fruteiras tropicais é uma ação importante contra a erosão genética decorrente de diversas atividades agrÃcolas que perturbam os ecossistemas em que se verificam, com prejuÃzos não raro irreversÃveis a muitas espécies, particularmente à s nativas. A criação e manutenção de coleções a campo de fruteiras perenes é dispendiosa, sendo comum a indisponibilidade de recursos financeiros para esta finalidade. O envolvimento do agricultor neste processo é uma ação estrategicamente importante, pois, além de favorecer a conservação desse germoplasma, estimula a conscientização de sua importância junto à s comunidades envolvidas. Com base nisso, duas coleções de fruteiras tropicais foram instaladas em 1995/1996; uma na Escola de Agronomia da Universidade Federal da Bahia, em Cruz das Almas, e outra em duas propriedades rurais no municÃpio de São Felipe-BA. Vêm sendo conservadas cerca de 30 espécies, principalmente nativas. Algumas iniciaram a frutificação, mostrando-se promissoras quanto ao seu cultivo comercial.

A conservação de germoplasma de fruteiras tropicais é uma ação importante no tocante à prevenção da erosão genética decorrente de diversas atividades agrÃcolas que perturbam os ecossistemas, com prejuÃzos, não raro irreversÃveis, a muitas espécies, particularmente as nativas. A criação e a manutenção a campo de coleções de fruteiras perenes são dispendiosas, sendo comum a indisponibilidade de recursos financeiros para esta finalidade. O envolvimento do agricultor neste processo é uma ação estrategicamente importante, pois, além de favorecer a conservação desse germoplasma, estimula a conscientização de sua importância junto à s comunidades envolvidas. Com base nisso, três coleções de fruteiras tropicais foram instaladas em 1995/1996: uma na Escola de Agronomia da Universidade Federal da Bahia, em Cruz das Almas, e as demais em duas propriedades rurais no municÃpio de São Felipe-BA. Vêm sendo conservadas cerca de 30 espécies, principalmente nativas. Algumas iniciaram a frutificação, mostrando-se promissoras quanto ao seu cultivo comercial.

La patogénesis de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. del estado de Michoacán, México se caracterizó en frutos de aguacatero (Persea americana L.) cultivar 'Hass'. El hongo causó los sÃntomas caracterÃsticos de la enfermedad denominada 'antracnosis' a partir de los diez dÃas después de la inoculación. La tasa de infección del hongo entre tratamientos fue significativamente diferente (p<0.05) a partir del sexto dÃa de la inoculación y el desarrollo de la enfermedad se explicó por un modelo de regresión lineal simple (Y = 1.123 + 0.1133X). No se detectó la formación de apresorios pero sà la sÃntesis de una capa mucilaginosa asociada con los tubos germinativos. El proceso infectivo del hongo se manifestó con la penetración de las hifas intra e inter-celularmente y con la producción de acérvulos a partir de los 12 dÃas después de la inoculación. Los sÃntomas de la antracnosis se asociaron con la degradación de polifenoles, plasmólisis, necrosis y desintegración celular.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de três ecossistemas sobre, a ocorrência de fungos rizosféricos, endofÃticos e epifÃticos. As áreas de estudo estão localizadas em uma propriedade rural, situada na cidade de Venâncio Aires, RS. Os fungos endofÃticos e epifÃticos foram isolados de amostras de raÃzes de guajuvira, (Patagonula americana L.), coletadas na mata (área 1), de uva-do-japão (Hovenia dulcis Thunb.), na área intermediária (área 2) e de fumo ou de milho, na lavoura (área 3) e, os fungos rizosféricos isolados de solo coletado junto as raÃzes dos vegetais citados. As amostras foram coletadas nos meses de janeiro, maio, setembro e novembro de 2004 e 2005. Os fungos foram identificados segundo caracterÃsticas morfológicas com auxÃlio de chaves de identificação. As áreas 2 e 3 foram mais similares com relação aos fungos rizosféricos e epifÃticos, enquanto, que, as áreas 1 e 2 foram mais similares com relação aos fungos endofÃticos. A diversidade dos fungos isolados das três áreas não diferiu ao longo dos dois anos de coleta. A presença de Fusarium spp., em vegetais sem sintomas de doença indica que, as mesmas podem ser raças avirulentas ou patógenos latentes em equilÃbrio com o hospedeiro e o ambiente. A presença de fungos antagonistas, principalmente Trichoderma spp. também, são responsáveis por esse equilÃbrio, o qual ocorre nas três áreas.

Dengue, amongst the virus illnesses one can get by vectorial transmission, is the one that causes more impact in the morbidity and mortality of world s population. The resistance to the insecticides has caused difficulties to control of vector insect (Aedes aegypti) and has stimulated a search for vegetables with larvicidal activity. The biodiversity of Caatinga is barely known and it is potential of use even less. Some plants of this biome are commercialized in free fairs northeast of Brazil, because of its phytotherapics properties. The vegetables in this study had been selected by means of a questionnaire applied between grass salesmen and natives of the Serido region from Rio Grande do Norte state; culicids eggs had been acquired with traps and placed in container with water for the larva birth. Thirty larvae had been used in each group (a group control and five experimental groups), with four repetitions four times. The vegetables had been submitted to the processes of decoction, infusion and maceration in the standard concentration of 100g of the vegetable of study in 1l of H2O and analyzed after ½, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours for verification of the average lethal dose (LD50) from the groups with thirty larva. The LD50 was analyzed in different concentrations (50g/l, 100g/l, 150g/l, 200g/l e 300g/l) of Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart. 48 extracts of rind, leaf and stem of the seven vegetal species: Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart., Mimosa verrucosa Benth, Mimosa hostilis (Mart.) Benth., Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão, Ximenia americana L, Bumelia sartorum Mart Zizyphus joazeiro Mart, had been analyzed. The extracts proceeding from the three methods were submitted to the freezedrying, to evaluate and to quantify substances extracted in each process. The results had shown that Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart. and Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão are the species that are more distinguished as larvicidal after 24 hours of experiment, in all used processes of extraction in the assays. The Zizyphus joazeiro Mart species has not shown larvicidal activity in none of the assays. In relation to the extraction method, the decoction was the most efficient method in the mortality tax of the A. aegypti larvae

This study objective was to evaluate the effective revegetation in a Mogi Guaçu River degraded floodplain area, located at Luiz Antonio municipality (21° 31' S e 47° 55' W), São Paulo State, Brazil. Two native riparian forest remnants (RIP1 and RIP2) and three 10-year-old reforested areas, planted of native species (R1, R2 and R3), were analyzed by using phytosociological describers of the arboreal stratum (trees with DBH ≥ 5 cm) as indicators. The arboreal stratum inventory was accomplished by 180 plots (10 × 10 m each), 60 representing every native forest and 20 for every reforested area. A total of 60 arboreal species was recorded, only six species (Cecropia hololeuca, Crotón urucurana, Genipa americana, Inga striata, Nectandra megapotamica e Peltophorum dubium) occurring in all the five studied areas. Seventeen species were common to both native forests, and nine species were recorded in all the reforested areas. Sebastlania commersonlana and Guarea macrophyllawere recorded in the native forests (RlP1 and RIP2), and Cecropia hololeuca, Croton urucurana and Inga striata occurring in all the reforested areas, were the species that best characterize the physiognomy of local diversity and were the most important among the studied species. The results showed that the rehabilitation of the areas made by the reforestation created conditions to implant forests with similar structures of the adjacent natural remainders. The reforestation with native species performed in the degraded floodplain of Mogi Guaçu River, initially with the predomination of invasive grasses, has been effective at the first stage of the ecological restoration process. The reforestation is making possible the natural regeneration of species from the adjacent remnants, what indicates that the similarity between planted forests and the native ones are rising through the time. The phytosociology, accomplished ten years after the planting date, is adequate to evaluate the effectiveness of the reforestation during the restoration process of degradated areas in the Mogi Guaçu floodplain.

CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION IN BLATTARIA: CONTRIBUTION TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONTROL TECNIQUES The management of cockroach infestations in urban environment has undergone some changes in recent years by moving to the predominant use of baits, thanks to the awareness of the risks connected with the use of spray insecticides. The effectiveness of a bait is determined by the collective performance of its components, including active and inert ingredients, the food attractant and any other attractive odour. This research has focused on the behavioral responses of Italian sinanthropic cockroaches to semiochemicals and food attractants, for the purpose of evaluating a possible practical application and of contributing to the improvement of control techniques. Behavioral and morphological studies have been carried out on Supella longipalpa (F.), a small cockroach that is spreading in Italy. Behavioral assays showed that the fourth and fifth tergites of females are significantly more attractive than other region of the body. Cuticular pores and ducts ending in glandular structures (observed with a S.E.M. = Scanning Electron Microscope) are present in large number on these tergites, suggesting that they could be involved in the production and the release of sexual pheromone. Cockroaches produce an aggregation pheromone that is excreted along with their frass and that consists of volatile and non-volatile compounds, mainly amines and steroidal glycosides. The effectiveness of faecal extracts obtained from excrements of Blattella germanica (L.), Blatta orientalis L., Periplaneta americana (L.) and S. longipalpa was evaluated, both at intraspecific and interspecific level, using a "Y" tube olfactometer. Bioassays showed that faecal extracts obtained with methanol have a good intraspecific attractiveness and, in some cases, they showed also interspecific behavioral responses. A gel was prepared, having physical characteristics that could give a good resistance to dehydration, as a potential basis for a new bait; the gel was then added faecal extracts, obtained with methanol from B. germanica and S. longipalpa frass. Arena-tests showed that the new gel containing faecal extracts is more attractive than some commercial gel formulations used as comparison: it was the only product that could attract 100% of insects placed in the arenas in 4-5 days. In conclusion, the substances involved in chemical communication of Blattaria may be able to effectively increase the attractiveness of products for monitoring and controlling cockroaches.

At present time, there is a lack of knowledge on the interannual climate-related variability of zooplankton communities of the tropical Atlantic, central Mediterranean Sea, Caspian Sea, and Aral Sea, due to the absence of appropriate databases. In the mid latitudes, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the dominant mode of atmospheric fluctuations over eastern North America, the northern Atlantic Ocean and Europe. Therefore, one of the issues that need to be addressed through data synthesis is the evaluation of interannual patterns in species abundance and species diversity over these regions in regard to the NAO. The database has been used to investigate the ecological role of the NAO in interannual variations of mesozooplankton abundance and biomass along the zonal array of the NAO influence. Basic approach to the proposed research involved: (1) development of co-operation between experts and data holders in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, UK, and USA to rescue and compile the oceanographic data sets and release them on CD-ROM, (2) organization and compilation of a database based on FSU cruises to the above regions, (3) analysis of the basin-scale interannual variability of the zooplankton species abundance, biomass, and species diversity.

A alface americana (Lactuca sativa), minimamente processada, foi avaliada quanto aos efeitos dos diferentes sistemas de cultivo (orgânico e convencional), sobre a vida-de-prateleira. A alface minimamente processada foi embalada em sacos de polietileno de baixa densidade (PEBD), armazenada em refrigerador a 4ºC e avaliada até o final da vida-de-prateleira, estabelecida por métodos sensoriais. As avaliações foram realizadas durante a estocagem, nas condições pré-estabelecidas. Nos tempos zero a dez dias, uma equipe sensorial treinada avaliou a alface quanto a: cor, brilho, escurecimento enzimático, aroma, odor estranho, textura e sabor (escores de zero a dez). O teste sensorial determinou que o escore seis (6) eliminaria a amostra; a alface orgânica, atingiu o escore mÃnimo em tempo superior ao da alface convencional, tendo sido sensivelmente superior a esta em todos os atributos testados.

L'Estany de Banyoles, sistema peculiar tant des del punt de vista de la seva formació geològica com de les seves caracterÃstiques limnològiques, conté actualment una comunitat de peixos profundament modificada respecte de la comunitat original. La perca americana (Micropterus salmoides), introduïda a finals dels anys seixanta del segle XX, és avui una de les espècies dominants en aquesta comunitat, i ocupa sobretot l'hà bitat litoral de l'Estany. Es tracta d'una espècie molt ben estudiada a Nord Amèrica des de diverses disciplines de la biologia i des de fa diverses dècades, cosa que ha comportat que actualment es disposi d'un gran volum d'informació sobre ella. Amb tot, fora del seu continent d'origen ha rebut poca atenció, malgrat l'amplia expansió que ha experimentat arreu del món. En aquesta tesi doctoral s'han abordat, amb un enfocament descriptiu, aspectes fins ara desconeguts per a l'espècie a l'Estany de Banyoles, a la penÃnsula ibèrica i fins i tot a Europa. Concretament, se n'ha analitzat la condició, el creixement i la demografia, aixà com les seves variacions temporals. Amb aquesta finalitat, s'ha dissenyat un mostreig composat de deu campanyes de pesca intensives més alguns petits mostrejos addicionals intercalats, mostreig que s'ha allargat des del juliol del 1997 i fins el novembre del 1999. La captura dels exemplars s'ha realitzat mitjançant una tècnica de pesca elèctrica amb una embarcació posada a punt expressament per a aquest estudi, la qual s'ha mostrat considerablement eficient malgrat les dificultats que ofereix el medi. S'ha realitzat un mostreig de marcatge-recaptura basat en la mutilació d'aletes i, en alguns casos, en el marcatge amb pintura acrÃlica. Només en la darrera campanya (novembre del 1999) s'ha sacrificat una part important de les captures a fi de retirar-ne els otòlits per a la determinació de l'edat. Pel que fa a l'anà lisi de les dades, s'ha aplicat un ampli ventall de mètodes i models per a cada un dels aspectes estudiats, a fi de contrastar-ne els resultats i validar-ne la seva fiabilitat. En el cas de la condició, s'han aplicat mètodes d'anà lisi de la covarià ncia (ANCOVA) i altres mètodes anà legs, aixà com, paral·lelament, regressions i anà lisis derivades a partir de la relació longitud-pes. En l'estudi del creixement, s'han realitzat ajustaments de diversos models mitjançant regressions sobre dades de mida a l'edat i sobre dades d'increments de mida observats per interval de temps. També s'han aplicat anà lisis de freqüències de longitud, i, finalment, s'han aplicat mètodes de retrocà lcul a partir dels increments anuals del radi observats en els otòlits. Finalment, en el cas de l'estudi de la demografia, s'han aplicat models de marcatge-recaptura per a l'estimació de la grandà ria poblacional i de la supervivència, i, a més, s'han ajustat diversos models continus de supervivència sobre aquestes estimacions prèvies. També s'han estimat les capturabilitats associades a la nova tècnica de captura. Per una altra banda, s'ha implementat i realitzat un mostreig sobre la població de pescadors esportius de l'Estany encarat a determinar, bà sicament, la pressió de pesca a què es veu sotmesa l'espècie. Els resultats mostren sobretot una alta estabilitat interanual en tots els aspectes estudiats, que s'explica per l'estabilitat ambiental que, al seu torn, és caracterÃstica d'aquest ecosistema lacustre. Això reverteix en una longevitat mà xima observada que iguala la mà xima descrita a la literatura per a l'espècie. Alhora, també s'han descrit fortes oscil·lacions estacionals tant en la condició, com en el creixement, com també en la supervivència, les quals, però, presenten certes diferències en la seva temporalitat, cosa que indica una certa diferenciació en els factors que les regulen.
