The author studied, the horizontal and vertical distribution of most common part of the flora and fauna of the bay of Guanabara at Rio de Janeiro. In this paper the eulittoral, poly, meso and oligohaline regions were localised and studied; and the first chart of its distribution was presented (fig. 2). The salinity of superficial waters was established through determinations based on 30 trips inside the buy for collecting biological materials. Some often 409 determinations which were previous reported together with the present ones served for the eleboration of a salinity map of the bay of Guanabara (fig. 1). This map of fig. 2 shows the geographic locations of the water regions. EULITTORAL WATER REGIME Fig. 3 shows the diagram scheme of fauna and flora of this regime. Sea water salinity 34/1.000, density mean 1.027, transparent greenish waters, sea coast with moderate bursting waves. Limpid sea shore with white sand, gneiss with the big barnacle Tetraclita squamosa var. stalactifera (Lam. Pilsbry. Vertical distributions: barna¬cles layers with a green region in which are present the oyster Ostrea pa-rasitica L., the barnacles Tetraclita, Chthamalus, Balanus tintinnabulum var. tintinnabulum (L.) e var. antillensis Pilsbry in connection with several mollusca and the sea beatle Isopoda Lygia sp. Covered by water and exposed to air by the tidal ritms, there is a stratum of brown animals that is the layer of mussels Mytilus perna L., with others brown and chestnut animals : the Crustacea Pachygrapsus, the little crab Porcellana sp., the stone crab Me-nippe nodifrons Stimpson, the sea stars Echinaster brasiliensis (Mull. & Tr.), Astropecten sp. and the sea anemones Actinia sp. Underneath and never visible there is a subtidal region with green tubular algae of genus Codium and amidst its bunches the sea urchin Lycthchinus variegatus (Agass.) walks and more deeply there are numerous sand-dollars Encope emarginata (Leske). The microplancton of this regime is Ceratiumplancton. POLYHALINE WATER REGIMB Water almost sea water, but directly influenced by continental lands, with rock salts dissolved and in suspension. Salinity: 33 to 32/1.000. This waters endure the actions of the popular nicknamed «water of the hill» (as the waters of mesohaline and oligohaline regimes), becoming suddenly reddish during several hours. That pheno¬menon returns several times in the year and come with great mortality of fishes. In these waters, according to Dr. J. G. FARIA there are species of Protozoa : Peridinea, the Glenoidinium trochoideum St., followed by its satellites which he thinks that they are able to secret toxical substances which can slaughter some species of fishes. In these «waters of the hill» was found a species of Copepoda the Charlesia darwini. In August 1946 the west shore of the Guanabara was plenty of killed fishes occupying a area of 8 feet large by 3 nautical miles of lenght. The enclosure for catching fishes in the rivers mouthes presents in these periods mass dead fishes. The phenomenon of «waters of the hill» appears with the first rains after a period of long dryness. MESOHALINE WATER REGIME Fig. 4 shows the the diagramm scheme. Salt or brackish water from 30 to 17/1.000 salinity, sometimes until 10/1.000. Turbid waters with mud in suspension, chestnut, claveyous waters; shore dirty black mud without waving bursting; the waters are warmer and shorner than those of the polihaline regime. Mangrove shore with the mangrove trees : Rhizophora mangle L., Avicennia sp., Laguncularia sp., and the »cotton tree of sea» Hibiscus sp. Fauna: the great land crab «guaimú» Cardisoma guanhumi Latr., ashore in dry firm land. There is the real land crab Ucides cordatus (L.) in wetting mud and in neigh¬ bourhood of the burrows of the fiddler-crabs of genus Uca. On stones and in the roots of the Rhizophora inhabits the brightly colored mangrove-tree-crab («aratu» Portuguese nickname) Goniopsis cruentata (Latreille) and the sparingly the big oyster Ostrea rhizophorae Guild. Lower is the region of barnacles Balanus amphitrite var. communis Darwin and var. niveus Darwin; Balanus tintinnabulum var. tintinnabulum (L.) doesn't grow in this brackish water; lower is the region of Pelecipoda with prepollency of Venus and Cytherea shell-fishes and the Panopeus mud crab; there are the sea lettuce Ulva and the Gastreropod Cerithium. The Paguridae Clibanarius which lives in the empty shells of Gasteropod molluscs, and the sessile ascidians Tethium plicatum (Lesuer) appears in some seasons. In the bottom there is a black argillous mud where the «one landed shrimps» Alpheus sp. is hidden. OLIGOHALINE WATER REGIME The salinity is lower than 10/1.000. average 8/1.000. There are no barnacles and no sea-beetles Isopods of genus Lygia; on the hay of the shore there are several graminea. This brackish water pervades by mouthes of rivers and penetrates until about 3 kilometers river above. While there is some salt dissolved in water, there are some mud crabs of the genus Uca, Sesarma, Metasesarma and Chasmagnatus. The presence of floating green plants coming from the rivers in the waters of a region indicated the oligohaline waters, with low salt content because when the average of NaCl increases above 8/1.000 these plants die and become rusty colored.

Plant trichomes can difficult the attachment and movement of small insects. Here, we examine the hypothesis that the success on the use of densely haired hosts by two cassidine species is determined by differential morphology and behavior. Larvae of Gratiana graminea (Klug, 1829) and Gratiana conformis (Boheman, 1854) move on the leaf surface of their host, Solanum guaraniticum Hassl by anchoring their tarsungulus on the trichome rays or by inserting the tarsungulus tip directly into epidermis. This kind of movement is only possible due to a similar tarsungulus shape among the species. Tarsungulus growth pattern is also similar between species, being relatively small on the posterior aperture, matching the diameter of the host plant trichome rays. The tarsungulus shape associated with differences on ontogenetic growth and attachment pattern allow these two Cassidinae larvae to efficiently move on the pubescent leaf surface of their host.

A biologia reprodutiva de Dipteryx alata foi estudada de setembro/2004 a agosto/2006. Dipteryx alata é arbórea, floresce na estação chuvosa (4-6 meses) e o pico de frutificação ocorre na estação seca. A espécie apresentou variação na intensidade de floração e frutificação entre os anos. As flores são zigomorfas, papilionáceas, hermafroditas, relativamente pequenas, odoríferas, diurnas e duram até 10 horas. O cálice possui dois lobos petalóides e a corola é formada pelo estandarte, alas e as pétalas da quilha. As anteras produzem pólen com 94,4% de viabilidade. O estigma é recoberto por película que limita a autopolinização espontânea, impedindo a aderência do pólen. Néctar é armazenado em câmara, em pequena quantidade (1,45 µL) e com concentração de 25%. Dipteryx alata tem flores de quilha e possui mecanismo de polinização intermediário entre os tipos explosivo e valvular. Esta espécie é alógama, possui auto-incompatibilidade de ação tardia e elevada taxa de aborto (ER = 0,45). Xylocopa suspecta (16,6% das visitas) é o principal polinizador, pois visita legitimamente as flores e apresenta forrageamento do tipo linha-de-captura, que promove fluxo polínico entre as plantas. As abelhas Pseudaugochlora graminea (15,3%) e Apis mellifera (39,5%), apesar da alta taxa de visitação, não são bons polinizadores (eficiência de polinização de 3,5% e 0%, respectivamente), pois geralmente não realizam movimento entre as plantas. Apis mellifera pilha néctar em 45,5% das visitas realizadas. O aumento da produção de sementes em populações naturais de D. alata depende da manutenção dos polinizadores efetivos (abelhas solitárias), sendo recomendável o manejo da abelha exótica A. mellifera.

1. We tested three pesticides used for field manipulations of herbivory for direct phytoactive effects on the germination and growth of 14 herbaceous plant species selected to provide a range of life-history strategies and functional groups. 2. We report three companion experiments: (A) Two insecticides, chlorpyrifos (granular soil insecticide) and dimethoate (foliar spray), were applied in fully-factorial combination to pot-germinated individuals of 12 species. (B) The same fully-factorial design was used to test for direct effects on the germination of four herbaceous legumes. (C) The molluscicide, metaldehyde, was tested for direct effects on the germination and growth of six plant species. 3. The insecticides had few significant effects on growth and germination. Dimethoate acted only on growth stimulating Anisantha sterilis, Sonchus asper and Stellaria graminea. In contrast, chlorpyrifos acted on germination increasing the germination of Trifolium dubium and Trifolium pratense. There was also a significant interactive effect of chlorpyrifos and dimethoate on the germination of T pratense. However, all. effects were relatively small in magnitude and explanatory power. The molluscicide had no significant effect on plant germination or growth. 4. The small number and size of direct effects of the pesticides on plant performance is encouraging for the use of these pesticides in manipulative experiments on herbivory, especially for the molluscicide. However, a smatt number of direct (positive) effects of the insecticides on some plant species need to be taken into account when interpreting field manipulations of herbivory with these compounds, and emphasises the importance of conducting tests for direct phyto-active effects.

No desenvolvimento das condições ótimas para a avaliação da viabilidade, através da determinação de métodos eficientes na condução dos testes de germinação e de tetrazólio, e do vigor, através do estudo das variáveis que influenciam a realização dos testes de condutividade elétrica e de envelhecimento acelerado, foram utilizadas sementes forrageiras nativas das gramíneas Paspalum dilatatum Poir., P. lividum Trin. ex Schltdl., P. nicorae Parodi, P. notatum Flügge, P. pauciciliatum Parodi Herter, P. plicatulum Michx., P. pumilum Ness, P. regnellii Mez, P. urvillei Steud e das leguminosas Desmodium incanum DC., Trifolium riograndense Burkart, Adesmia latifolia (Spreng.) Vogel. e Desmanthus depressus Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd. Os trabalhos foram desenvolvidos no Laboratório de Análise de Sementes do Departamento de Plantas Forrageiras e Agrometeorologia da Faculdade de Agronomia/Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados em porcentagem de germinação foram transformados em arco-seno√x/100. As médias foram comparadas pelo Teste de Tukey (P<0,05), de Dunnett (P<0,05) e análise de regressão. O delineamento experimental foi o completamente casualizado, com quatro repetições de 25 sementes cada. As condições adequadas de germinação, tipo de substrato, posição e temperatura utilizada, variaram conforme a espécie, mas de um modo geral as sementes de leguminosas mostraram bons resultados sobre substrato papel e em temperaturas alternadas. Nas gramíneas do gênero Paspalum, a condição papel, a posição sobre o substrato e as temperaturas constantes de 20 e 25°C e a alternada de 20-35°C destacaram-se das demais, para a maioria das espécies. A temperatura alta (40°C), o maior período de embebição (24 horas) e a concentração de 0,5%, de uma forma geral, apresentaram-se como as condições mais adequadas para condução do teste de tetrazólio nas espécies trabalhadas. A combinação 24 horas/25°C, para grande parte das leguminosas e gramíneas em questão, levou a uma liberação maior de lixiviados na realização do teste de condutividade elétrica. As condições de temperatura de 45°C e o período de exposição de 96 horas, de modo geral, afetaram de forma mais drástica a porcentagem média de germinação das sementes após o envelhecimento acelerado nas espécies estudadas.

Realizaram-se estudos sobre sistemas de reprodução de Cassia spectabilis (L.) D C. (Leguminosae) observando-se a diversidade, freqüência e constância dos insetos visitantes em diferentes horários. Também testou-se a influência dos fatores ambientais em relação às visitas. Os resultados de polinização manual sugerem que C. spectabilis é autocompatível, porém, a xenogamia é o sistema de reprodução predominante. As inflorescências foram visitadas por uma grande quantidade de insetos, havendo predominância de abelhas. O horário de maior ocorrência dos insetos nas flores de C. spectabilis foi das 8 às 14 h e de menor ocorrência entre 7 e 8 h e das 17 às 18 h. Quanto ao comportamento dos insetos em relação à flor de C. spectabilis, observou-se que Xylocopa frontalis Olivier, X. suspecta Camargo & Moure, Bombus morio Swederus e Centris scopipes Friese possuem comportamento e morfologia adequados aos polinizadores legítimos; C. similis F., Oxaea flavescens Klug e Epicharis rustica flava Cockerell foram considerados polinizadores ocasionais. Pseudaugochloropsis graminea (F.), Tetragonisca angustula Latreille e A. mellifera L. foram considerados pilhadores. A polinização por vibração é o método usado pelas abelhas para coleta de pólen.

(Isothermal seed germination of Adenanthera pavonina). This work reports aspects of seed germination at different temperatures of Adenanthera pavonina L., a woody Southeast Asian Leguminosae. Germination was studied by measuring the final percentages, the rate, the rate variance and the synchronisation of the individual seeds calculated by the minimal informational entropy of frequencies distribution of seed germination. Overlapping the germinability range with the range for the highest values of germination rates and the minimal informational entropy of frequencies distribution of seed germination, we found that the best temperature for the germination of A. pavonina seeds is 35 degrees C. The slope mu of the Arrhenius plot of the germination rates is positive for T < 35 degrees C and negative for T > 35 degrees C. The activation enthalpies, estimated from closely-spaced points, shows that vertical bar Delta H-vertical bar < 12 Cal mol(-1) occur for temperatures in the range between 25 degrees C and 40 degrees C. The ecological implication of these results are that this species may germinate very fast in tropical areas during the summer season. This may be an advantage to the establishment of this species under the climatic conditions in those areas.
