Observações sobre o Comportamento Predatório de Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus Stal (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) em Plantas de Feijão Guandu.
Authors: Azevedo Ruberval Leone , Do Nascimento Andréia Santos
Published: September 2014

Os inimigos naturais são os principais responsáveis pela mortalidade de insetos-praga na maioria dos agroecossistemas, e encontram-se distribuídos principalmente nas ordens Coleoptera, Neuroptera e Hemiptera. Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) é um predador polífago presente principalmente na cultura do fumo (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Com este trabalho objetivou-se observar o comportamento predatório de C. nigroannulatus sobre plantas de feijão guandu. As observações e coletas dos insetos foram feitas semanalmente, entre julho e setembro de 2005, na área experimental de Entomologia do Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Biológicas e Ambientais da Universidade Federal da Bahia UFBA/UFRB. Do total de plantas observadas, 37% continham a presença do predador, com um baixo índice de predação, 7,05%, talvez influenciada pela pequena quantidade de presas presentes nas plantas. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para melhor avaliar o potencial deste predador nos agroecossistemas. Futuramente poderá ser uma alternativa potencial de controle biológico de pragas.

 

Records of the predatory behavior of Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) in pingeonpea crop

Abstract. The natural enemies are main the responsible ones for the mortality of pests in the majority of agroecosystems, and meet mainly distributed in the orders Coleoptera, Neuroptera and Hemiptera. Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a present predator polyphagous mainly in the crop of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The objective of this research it was to evaluate the predatory behavior of C. nigroannulatus on pingeonpea crop. The comments and collections of the insects had been made weekly, between July and September of 2005, in plants pingeonpea in the experimental area of Entomology of the Center of Agrarian, Biological and Ambient Sciences of the Universidade Federal da Bahia UFBA/UFRB. Of the allof observed plants, only 37% of them contained the presence of the predator, the prerestitution index were low, only 7.05%, influenced for the small amount of preys found in the plants. More research is necessary better to evaluate the potential of this predator in agroecosystems. In the future it could be a potential alternative of biological control of pests.

Coccus viridis (Green) danifica plantas jovens e adultas de Coffea arabica Linnaeu. No entanto, nada se sabe sobre a magnitude dos danos causados por esta praga. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar as relações entre o ataque de C. viridis e as perdas causadas por este inseto a C. arabica. Este trabalho foi conduzido em casa de vegetação na Universidade Federal de Viçosa. Foram utilizadas sementes da linhagem IAC 15 da variedade “Catuaí vermelho” de café (C. arabica). Para a confecção dos tratamentos esta praga foi criada em casa de vegetação separada do experimento. Os tratamentos foram: plantas infestadas e não infestadas por adultos e ninfas da cochonilha verde. As plantas foram nutridas com solução nutritiva. Durante 110 dias foram avaliados: números de adultos e de ninfas de primeiro, segundo e terceiro ínstares, área foliar, diâmetro do caule, altura das plantas em todas repetições. No final do experimento avaliou-se o peso das raízes, caule, folhas e total. Os pesos das raízes, matéria seca total, área foliar e diâmetro do caule de plantas não atacadas por C. viridis superaram em 1,31; 1,41; 1,50 e 8,93 vezes, respectivamente o peso de plantas atacadas. As variáveis selecionadas foram: diâmetro do caule (cm), área foliar (cm²), peso de raízes (g), ninfas, adultos e total das cochonilhas. Concluindo que a planta de C. arabica é afetada de forma diferente entre seus órgãos e que a ninfa de terceiro ínstar e adultos são as fases que mais causam danos a C. arabica.

Authors: Verçoza Fábio de Castro , Do Nascimento Elaine Conceição , Côrtes Izabel Maria Ribeiro
Published: September 2014

Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a polinização de Canavalia rosea (Sw.) DC. (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) por abelhas na vegetação de restinga da Área de Proteção Ambiental de Grumari, localizada na zona oeste do município do Rio de Janeiro. O estudo foi desenvolvido entre os meses de junho de 2008 a junho de 2009, realizando-se observações sobre morfologia, cor e odor das flores da espécie. Foi registrado o número de flores abertas por dia em cada indivíduo, bem como as etapas de abertura, determinando-se o período da antese. A ocorrência de visitantes florais foi registrada observando-se o horário de visita, a adaptabilidade para polinização, a facilidade de acesso à recompensa e o comportamento intra-floral desempenhado. C. rosea ocorre nas comunidades psamófila e pós-praia da restinga da APA de Grumari. Apresenta características típicas da melitofilia (polinização por abelhas) e as flores são polinizadas por Xylocopa frontalis Oliver. São ainda visitas por Tetragonisca angustula Latreille, Trigona spinipes Fabricius e Apis mellifera Linnaeus, que recolhem pólen sem polinizar as flores. X. frontalis mostrou ser o único polinizador efetivo de C. rosea na restinga de Grumari, tornando a planta diretamente dependente desta espécie para produção de frutos e sementes nesta localidade.

Mellitophily in Canavalia rosea (Sw.) DC. (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae)

Abstract. This work aimed to study the floral biology and the pollination’s ecology of Canavalia rosea (Sw.) DC. (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) by bees in the sandbank vegetation of the Grumari Environmental Protection Area (EPA) , located in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro’s city. The study was developed between the months of June of 2008 to June of 2009. Sampling on morphology, color and odor of the flowers of the species were made. The number of open flowers per day in each individual was recorded, as well as the opening steps, determining the period of anthesis. The occurrence of floral visitors was recorded through the observation of the visit’s time, of the adaptability for pollination, of the ease of access to the reward and of the intra-floral behavior played. C. rosea occurs in psamophily communities and in post-beach sandbank of Grumari’s EPA. It presents typical characteristics of mellitophily (pollination by bees) and the flowers are pollinated by Xylocopa frontalis Oliver. It also receives visits from Tetragonisca angustula Latreille, Trigona spinipes Fabricius and Apis mellifera Linnaeus, which collects pollen without pollinating the flowers. X. frontalis proved to be the only effective pollinator of C. rosea in the Grumari sandbank, making the plant directly dependent on this species for fruit and seed’s production in this location.

Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Heteroptera:

Coreidae) is a phytophagous bug widely found in the American continent.

This species is associated with different crops, which they use to

establish due to the favorable food supply and conditions for their

development. The aim of this work was to record the occurrence of L. zonatus attacking

starfruit in Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil and report a new host plant to

this bug species. Adults and immatures were found between September and

November of 2009 feeding on starfruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) in

Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The attack affected the fruit quality,

allowing other insects, such as some Phoridae species, to access to the

fruit secretions through the hole made by the rostrum of this bug and

then causing damage to the quality of the fruit.

Authors: Araujo Fernanda Figueiredo de , Garraffoni André Rinaldo Senna
Published: September 2014

Os representantes da ordem Phasmatodea são conhecidos popularmente como bicho-pau e bicho-folha pela grande capacidade de camuflagem. Atualmente são conhecidas aproximadamente 3000 espécies válidas em todo o mundo, agrupadas em 523 gêneros e 13 famílias. A fauna de fasmídeos brasileiros apresenta mais de 200 espécies, porém um grande número de espécies apresenta problemas taxonômicos. O presente estudo relata os achados do levantamento das espécies de Phasmatodea em quatro pontos amostrais próximos ao município de Diamantina-MG, localizados no planalto Diamantina, Cadeia do Espinhaço. Foram realizadas coletas na mata ciliar do córrego Soberbo, Caminho dos Escravos, Parque Estadual do Biribiri e Parque Nacional das Sempre Vivas, no período de outubro de 2009 a março de 2011, abrangendo as estações chuvosa e seca. Foram coletados um total de 47 indivíduos, sendo 20 fêmeas, 17 machos e 10 ninfas pertencentes à família Heteronemiidae, com dois gêneros Heteronemia e Paraleptynia, e a família Pseudophasmatidae com o gênero Paraphasma, sendo todos os espécimes coletados durante o período chuvoso. Além disso, uma chave de identificação para todos os fasmídeos identificados para o Estado de Minas é também fornecido.

Phasmatodea (Insecta) from Espinhaço Range, Chapada Diamantina Plateau (MG)

Abstract. The specimens of the Order Phasmatodea are popular know as Stick insects or leaf insect characterized by a remarkable similarity to their host vegetation. Currently, more than 3000 species are considered valid in the world, grouped in 523 genera and 13 families. The Brazilian phasmid fauna has more than 200 species described, but most of than show taxonomical problems. The present communication is a taxonomic survey of the phasmids fauna found in the municipality of Diamantina-MG, Chapada Diamantina plateau, Espinhaço range. Samplings were done in the forest gallery of Soberbo Stream, Biribiri State Park and Sempre-Vivas National Park, during the dry and wet seasons, between October 2009 to march 2010. A total of 47 specimens have been examined, 20 female, 17 male and 10 nymphs belonging to the family Heteronemiidae, with 2 genera Heteronemia and Paraleptynia, and the family Pseudophasmatidae with the genus Paraphasma were collected only in the wet period. Furthermore, an identification key for all phasmids genera identified from Minas Gerais State is also provided.
Application of the Dynamic Cultivation System for Microorganisms — A New Way to Culture the Unculturables

To date, ~1% of all bacteria that occur in environmental ecosystems such as soil, sedimentary rocks, and groundwater have been described. Comprehensive explanation of ecological interactions on a microscale level is thus almost impossible. The Dynamic Cultivation System (DCS) was developed in order to detect more microbial taxa than with common cultivation approaches, as well as previously undescribed bacterial species. The DCS is a quick and easy in situ method for the cultivation of numerous bacterial taxa in support of the description of microbial colonized ecosystems. To investigate the bacterial populations within a clay-maturation process after mining the raw material, the DCS was used to increase the microbial biomass for further molecular analysis. Two different methods were applied to extract the bacteria from the DCS and these were compared in terms of efficiency at detection of large numbers of different taxa and in terms of applicability to the detection of previously undescribed species in raw clays. A collection of different undescribed species was detected with sequencing. While direct picking of bacterial colonies leads to the detection of different genera, species mainly of the genus Arthobacter were proved in the phosphate-buffered saline-suspended biomass. Thus, a combination of the approaches mentioned above is recommended to increase the number of detectable species. The DCS will help to describe better the microbial content of ecosystems, especially soils that contain charged particles.
Souveraineté et territoire: enjeux et perspectives
Authors: Barreyre Nicolas , Verdo Geneviève
Published: September 2014

Par sa victoire dans la guerre de Sécession, l' Union scelle l' affirmation de la souveraineté nationale des États-Unis. L’après-guerre est tout entier absorbé à en tirer les conséquences. C’est pourtant dans ce contexte que la politique monétaire devient un contentieux qui aboutira à une redéfinition de la souveraineté. Cet article explore comment la structure institutionnelle et le système politique permettent à la monnaie de devenir un enjeu spatialisé, opposant entre elles les grandes régions du pays, et comment ce phénomène, appelé sectionalisme, aboutit à la confrontation de plusieurs conceptions de la souveraineté, mêlant légitimité politique et échelles spatiales, et une redéfinition du périmètre de celle-ci abandonnant la monnaie comme instrument du souverain à la fin du XIXe siècle.
Une souveraineté à l ’encre sympathique? Souveraineté autochtone et appropriations territoriales dans les traités franco-africains au XIXe siécle
Authors: Surun Isabelle
Published: September 2014

Cet article analyse les modalités de l' appropriation territoriale qui caractérisent la période de transition entre ancien et nouveau régime colonial, pendant laquelle les Européens ont construit leur territoire colonial en Afrique. Il aborde la construction juridique de la souveraineté coloniale en étudiant un corpus de traités conclus entre représentants de l' autorité coloniale française et chefs d’État africains au XIXe siècle – un instrument juridique d’appropriation peu étudié jusqu’à présent par les historiens du droit international. La terminologie en usage dans ces traités révèle l' indétermination des catégories et, à travers elle, les incertitudes des négociateurs européens quant au régime de domination qu’ils entendent imposer, jusqu’à ce que le protectorat émerge finalement comme le dispositif juridique le plus courant pour régler les partages et les transferts de souveraineté, reposant sur une distinction entre souveraineté extérieure et intérieure. Dès lors, le consentement ou non des chefs africains à ce type d’arrangement juridique dépend de leur conception de leur souveraineté comme divisible ou indivisible.
L’organisation des souverainetés provinciales dans l’Amérique indépendante: Le cas de la république de Córdoba, 1776-1827
Authors: Verdo Geneviève
Published: September 2014

Cet article concerne les formes politiques alternatives à celle de l' État-nation qui se mettent en place dans l' ancienne vice-royauté du Río de la Plata à l' issue de l' indépendance de ce territoire (qui deviendra l' Argentine). Il analyse la construction territoriale et institutionnelle d’une entité politique originale, la province souveraine, à travers le cas de la république de Córdoba dans les années 1820. L’auteur remonte à l' ancien régime pour exposer la façon dont les corps territoriaux qui constituent la Monarchie se renforcent et se politisent à travers les réformes de l' empire, à la fin du XVIIIesiècle, puis à travers la révolution d’indépendance. Elle montre également la tension, présente dès le début de la révolution, entre la souveraineté des corps territoriaux et la souveraineté « nationale », ainsi que les constructions territoriales que ces différentes acceptions de la souveraineté mettent en jeu. Si elle consolide sa souveraineté sur le plan interne, la république de Córdoba s’efforce en parallèle de s’inscrire dans une entité politique plus large, envisagée comme une confédération.
L’entre-voisins en période de transition étatique (1917-1924): La frontière épaisse des bolcheviks à l' Est de l'Europe
Authors: Dullin Sabine
Published: September 2014

À travers l' analyse de ce qui se joue à la marge européenne de l' ancien empire russe réinvesti et réinventé par les Soviets et en s’appuyant sur des sources à la fois centrales et locales de l' ex-URSS, l' article révèle une modalité de construction de la souveraineté territoriale ayant la particularité de mettre en relation des pays à la fois neufs et idéologiquement hostiles. L’article montre comment, tout en s’adaptant aux règles de la négociation propre à la « coconstruction » d’une frontière, les autorités soviétiques en arrivent peu à peu à affirmer une souveraineté exclusive sur le territoire. La frontière épaisse qui s’invente entre voisins suspicieux les uns à l' égard des autres par le biais notamment de l' établissement de zones tampons est alors institutionnalisée et détournée par les Soviets dans une logique de contrôle des interactions et des passages. Cette analyse au quotidien du voisinage interétatique offre des perspectives pour une histoire transfrontalière de l' État.
Les espaces locaux de la construction étatique à l'aune du cas albanais (1920-1939)
Authors: Clayer Nathalie
Published: September 2014

En suivant les études qui prennent en compte la localité comme un lieu de production et pas seulement de reproduction des processus de construction stato-nationale et d’affirmation d’une souveraineté impulsés du centre, cet article propose de déplacer la focale au niveau local. À travers le cas des politiques scolaires dans l' Albanie de l' entre-deux-guerres, qui sont au coeur de l' affirmation de cette souveraineté, il s’agit d’étudier le contrôle de l' espace local comme traduction de ces processus. Le regard est porté plus précisément sur les rapports de force qui s’instaurent autour de la place de la religion dans l' espace scolaire, comme autour de l' appropriation par l' État des bâtiments scolaires structurant les espaces confessionnels, ainsi que sur l' effet de l' inscription des acteurs de ces négociations – qu’ils soient les agents de ces politiques ou non – dans des espaces sociaux.
On the Freedom of Thought, in Dream Life if Nowhere Else: Freud, Foucault, and Euripides
Authors: Sliwinski Sharon
Published: September 2014

This essay examines the “dead daughter in a box dream,” which initially appeared in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), in order to make two, related claims. First, the dream is treated as an exemplar of the work of symbolization, and in particular, as a vehicle for the dreamer to work through the phantasy of infanticide. Second, the dreamer’s disclosure of her dream is regarded as an exemplar of parrhesia —a particular speech act that Michel Foucault regarded as central to democracy. This is achieved through a comparison between Freud’s dreamer and Foucault’s discussion of Kreousa, the tragic heroine of Euripides’ play, Ion . The overarching aim of the essay is to view dream-life as a quotidian but primary site where the freedom of thought is practiced.
Freud as Milton’s God: Mapping the Patriarchal Cosmos in Psychoanalysis and Paradise Lost
Authors: Rudnytsky Peter L.
Published: September 2014

The first section of this essay reviews the debate between Milton’s theological critics, C. S. Lewis and Stanley Fish, and the heirs to the Romantics, A. J. A. Waldock and William Empson, and argues that no answer was found to Fish’s theory of the “fallen reader.” The second section responds to the theological critics by fusing Kenneth Burke’s framework of “logology,” which reveals the Fall to be inevitable from a narrative standpoint, with an analysis, indebted principally to Bernard Paris, of God as a literary character impelled by narcissism and Heaven as a “glory system.” The final section takes up the parallels between Freud and Milton’s God, and between the cosmos of Paradise Lost and the history and theory of psychoanalysis in its classical form.
The Knight in Shining Armor and the Pure Fool: The Construction of “Innocence” In Two Wagner Operas
Authors: Paul Robert A.
Published: September 2014

Most Wagner operas revolve around themes of innocence and redemption, most commonly through a "love-death." Lohengrin and Parsifal , however, differ in using the device the essay identifies as the "succession scenario" to produce the effect of innocence. The essay outlines the basic rules of the succession scenario and shows both how the scenario illuminates these two operas and how the operas in question provide excellent exemplars of it.
Cyrano de Bergerac: The Adventures of Narcissism in Edmond Rostand’s Heroic Comedy in Verse
Authors: Spyropoulou Areti
Published: September 2014

The romantic comedy Cyrano de Bergerac has become a long-lasting and worldwide success since the play’s first opening in Paris in 1897. Using a psychoanalytic approach, the essay examines the narcissistic vulnerabilities of the character stigmatized by his large nose, Cyrano. It discusses the dualisms of splitting and ego integration, projective and introjective identifications, and the incarnation of an ideal self, as expressed in the play. Hidden under a plethora of words and acts of bravery lies Cyrano’s narcissistic pathology, whose story becomes the drama and demise of a phantasized state of perfection. Applying Hans Loewald’s theory of the ideal ego, Otto Kernberg’s concept of pathological narcissism, and André Green’s moral narcissism, the essay provides an exploration of the narcissistic pathology.
Everything’s Interesting: Cormac McCarthy and the Social Construction of Reality
Authors: Robinson Forrest G.
Published: September 2014

Cormac McCarthy’s writing features perspectives on the human condition strikingly comparable in range and substance with those advanced in The Social Construction of Reality , the classic treatise in the sociology of knowledge by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. At the focus of their shared interests is the human struggle to erect shields against the encroachment of disorder, a universal recoil from the threat of anomie embodied most forcefully in the dark mystery of death. McCarthy’s early novels ( The Orchard Keeper , Outer Dark , Child of God , and Suttree ) foreground settings in which ordered social formations are severely limited; Blood Meridian gives attention to the influence of forceful constructions of reality in marginal situations; in the border trilogy, romantic social constructions (myths) succumb to harsh actualities; No Country for Old Men offers a window on the perils that await those whose constructions of reality blind them to the forces of chance and death; and The Road dramatizes the attempt to reconstruct a viable social reality in a world reduced to chaos.
Emerson’s Bayonet
Authors: Lopez Alan
Published: September 2014

The essay reads Ralph Waldo Emerson’s argument for a “nation of friends,” in “Politics,” as Emerson’s response to his lament, also in “Politics,” that the “power of love, as the basis of the State, has never been tried.” By a careful reading of that essay, which includes locating “Politics” within the debate in Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan between right and law, I argue for a new understanding of time and friendship in Emerson’s thought.
“Come, we can go in”: Ekphrastic Thresholds in A. E. Stallings and Jorie Graham
Authors: Tracy Jordan
Published: September 2014

This essay interrogates the figure of the frame as it is used in two ekphrastic poems, A. E. Stallings’s “Empty Icon Frame” and Jorie Graham’s “San Sepolcro.” In their ekphrastic treatment of images of the Virgin Mary, the poems transform literal, metaphorical, and conceptual frames into sacred thresholds. Conventionally, the threshold marks the passage from one realm to another—for example, from the space of the profane to that of the sacred. However, the defining poetic shared between these two texts is the celebration of the threshold space as itself sacred due to its unruly and, consequently, destabilizing force.
Contemporary Wayang Beber in Central Java
Authors: Lis Marianna
Published: September 2014

Wayang beber , picture-storytelling from Java, is one of the oldest forms of Indonesian theatre and a part of the celebration of Javanese rituals in the past. In recent experiments with the form, artists have created two wayang beber contemporary genres/companies, Wayang Beber Kota (Urban Wayang Beber) and Wayang Beber Welingan (Socio-Educational Wayang Beber). These perform a dialogue with the tradition and depart from it, while at the same time presenting wayang beber from a contemporary perspective. The work focuses on social and cultural changes taking place in Indonesia in relation to tangible and intangible heritage.
From Ritual Form to Tourist Attraction: Negotiating the Transformation of Classical Cambodian Dance in a Changing World
Authors: Tuchman-Rosta Celia
Published: September 2014

According to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage website, classical Cambodian dance is a sacred practice that embodies the spiritual essence of the country’s values and traditions. This article asks, What happens when the sacred becomes the profane, the normal, the everyday? It explores how the sacred classical dance form of the past evolved into the entertainment genre it is today. Focusing on the dinner-dance show phenomenon, the author investigates negotiations that are taking place between the preservation and development of the arts in Siem Reap after decades of civil war decimated the artist population. The tourist shows both provide some economic stability for dancers and strip away some sacred aspects of the art form. The article gives insight into how a ritualistic performing art form adapts to changing environments while maintaining social relevance.
