title: CONTEMPORARY AND FUTURE POTENTIAL GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF Cedrela fissilis Vell. UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of the present work was to model the climate niche of Cedrela fissilis Vell. and to project the contemporary and future potential spatial distribution considering different climate change scenarios. Species occurrence data were obtained from the SpeciesLink and Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) databases. Altitude data, and 19 climate variables for both present and future conditions were obtained from the WorldClim database. The spatial prediction for the year 2070, considering an optimistic scenario (RCP 4.5) and a pessimistic one (RCP 8.5), was defined by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding the concentration of greenhouse gases. The climate niche modeling was performed using the Maximum Entropy algorithm (MaxEnt). The results showed that C. fissilis has a wide geographic distribution, occurring in most South American countries. Its distribution showed a high correlation associated with the isothermal and precipitation variables in the humid month. In future scenarios, impacts on the climatic suitability of the areas in which the species occur, will not be spatially homogeneous. Indeed, reductions of about 47% (RCP4.5) and 63% (RCP8.5) are expected. It is recommended the creation and expansion of Conservation Units (CU) in areas that will remain climatically suitable for this species. The areas that will not have a favorable climate in the future should be considered strategic for genetic rescue and establishment of germplasm banks. Areas changing into a favorable climate should be considered as new areas of ecological and forestry interest.

title: Tribological evaluation of biodegradable and mineral hydraulic oil with sliding between the Cu-Zn and WC-CoCr alloys

description: ABSTRACT The correct selection of lubricating oils and contact surfaces improves performance and reduces the energy consumption of the machines. Therefore, surface engineering proposes new coatings to which their tribological behavior combined with the use of biodegradable oils in hydraulic system components are unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of the mineral oil - HLP and the synthetic biodegradable - HEES, subjected to sliding of a pin made of Cu-35Zn alloy, against a flat surface coated with WC-10Co4Cr by high-speed thermal spraying - HVOF. The combination of biodegradable oils with surfaces of lesser environmental impact is important for the sustainability and growth of the modern industry. The performance of the lubricants was evaluated by means of sliding tests on a pin-on-disc tribometer, modifying the loads, to identify the lubrication, friction and wear regimes. The tests indicated that the average coefficient of friction was μHEES = 0,054 and μHLP = 0,044, so the limit of the lubrication regimes was close. The minimum film thickness hmín was 23 % higher for HLP and the obtained values of the film parameter (λ) were different from the results of other surfaces. In the evaluation of the wear of the pin and disk, it was found to that the higher concentrations of the additives of Zn and P, found in the HLP, reduces the surface damage. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the type of surfaces lubricated with oils of the HEES type, as well as changes in additive concentrations should be made.

title: Cladocera distribution along an environmental gradient on the Cerrado-Amazon ecotone: a preliminary study

description: Abstract: Aim Our objective in this study is to understand Cladocera species distribution along an environmental gradient in forest and cropland landscapes in the southern Amazon. Methods We collected Cladocera communities and environmental variables from five streams and verified their associations with a Redundancy Analysis. Results Acroperus tupinamba, Alonella dadayi e Kisakiellus aweti were mostly associated to sites with higher canopy cover. Anthalona neotropica, Anthalona verrucose and Flavalona iheringula occurred exclusively in site with more thalweg depth. Conclusions If these results are confirmed Cladocera stream communities are affected by changes in land use. Further studies in this line are extremely necessary to reduce this knowledge gap.

title: Preparation of gluten-free crab nugget (Ucidescordatus) with added fiber

description: ABSTRACT: Crab meat is rich in nutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. Its catch is one of the most important fishing modalities in the North Brazilian state of Pará; however,crab is under utilized in the food industry and mainly sold as fresh meat. The study aimed to develop three formulations of gluten-free crab nuggets with added fiber. To reduce the cost of the final product, three formulations(F1, F2, and F3) were developed by the addition of rice flour at 0% (F1), 15% (F2), and 30% (F3) as a partial replacement of crab meat. Physicochemical and microbiological analyses were performed according to the legislation. In sensory intent analysis, F1 and F2 stood out in relation to F3, butall formulations were well accepted. The cost per unit of the formulations was 0.37 Brazilian reals (R$) for F1, R$ 0.27 for F2, and R$ 0.24 for F3; the formulations obtained a 90.47% yield. For fibers, the same result (0.96 g-dry basis) was obtained for all three formulations.

title: Perceptions of wheat producers towards risk and risk management strategies: A case study from Turkey

description: ABSTRACT: In this study, risk perception of wheat producers in Turkey was examined based on a case study conducted in Bitlis Province. The data set used in the study was obtained from 157 farmers randomly. Factor analysis was employed to classify risk sources and management strategies, and then multiple regression was used to investigate the relationship between farmers perceptions and some characteristic. Results of this study have shown that economic-based risks were perceived more strongly by farmers. Farmers’ also used more than one risk management strategy to minimize the impact of the risks they face. So, in order to ensure social and economic sustainability and predictability in wheat production and wheat market, the government should be considered preventive policy instruments and interventions to prevent fluctuations in input and output prices.

title: Tamaulipan thornscrub after fire: an analysis of the composition of species

description: Abstract Forest fires are a natural element in many terrestrial ecosystems, in Mexico one of the main causes of loss of vegetation coverage is related to them. Nevertheless, no research has been carried out in the Tamaulipan thornscrub communities regarding post-fire regenerative strategies of plant species, therefore, is important to generate knowledge about the ecological role of fire in them. The aim of this study is to characterize the arboreal and shrub vegetation of a Tamaulipan thornscrub community in the Northeast of Mexico after a fire. To determine the composition, diversity and structure of the floral community consisting of trees and shrubs, 6 square-shaped sampling sites of 1,600 m2 were established 3 years after the fire. Margalef (DMg), Shannon-Weiner (H’) and Pretzsch (A) indices were calculated to determine the richness, diversity and vertical stratification of species, respectively.23 species, 21 genera and 14 families of vascular plants were registered. The most species were Fabaceae (6) and Rhamnaceae (3) and Cordia boissieri was the specie with greater ecological weight (IVI = 20.3%). The indexes of richness and true diversity (DMg = 3.16; D = 16.44) showed high values, which suggests that the post-fire area has a good regeneration and a high species diversity. With these results we can conclude that the fire is an important agent of change in successional stages of Tamaulipan thornscrub with high values of regeneration after a surface fire.

title: Ecological anatomy of Eugenia punicifolia (Kunth) DC. (MYRTACEAE) in the restinga region,state of Ceará

description: Abstract The species Eugenia punicifolia (Kunth) DC. (myrtle) occurs in the coastal region of the state of Ceará and has ecological and medicinal importance. This study aimed to characterize the leaf anatomy of myrtle (E. punicifolia) in the rainy and dry seasons, as well as in the sun and shade in the restinga region of the state of Ceará and to contribute to the understanding of the morphoanatomic variations in response to the natural conditions of the occurrence of this species. For this, collections of fully expanded leaves were performed at the Botanical Park of Ceará and fixed in FAA70, being replaced by 70% ethanol after 24 hours. The usual anatomical procedures were then performed in order to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the leaf blade, petiole and epidermis structures. As a result, it was found that myrtle has xeromorphic characteristics such as thick cuticle, hypoestomatic leaf and sclerenchyma fibers in the median vein vascular bundles. It was concluded that E. punicifolia has great plasticity to adjust well under the analyzed conditions.

title: Pollen morphology and availability of pollen and stigma in Syzygium (Myrtaceae)

description: Abstract The present study aimed to describe the pollen morphology in three species of Syzygium, to test pollen availability and stigma receptivity. The pollen was analyzed by light and scanning microscopy to show the detailed ornamentation of the pollen grains. Pollen availability was measured according to two protocols. Stigmatic receptivity was tested at different stages of flower development. There are differences among the pollen morphology for the species studied; when the polar and equatorial diameters are measured in the equatorial view of the pollen grains, it is observed that S. jambos is the largest species concerning the two values of the diameters, S. malaccense is the smallest species and S. aqueum, the largest species in relation to the polar diameter in the equatorial view. For the equatorial diameter in equatorial view, S. aqueum showed the smallest diameters and S. malaccense, the major diameters, but the two species overlap in the values of the measured diameters. There are variations in the number of apertures in the pollen grains. Alexander’s stain is more sensitive to estimate pollen availability and the species S. aqueum and S. jambos have the same schedules of pollen availability and stigma receptivity.

title: Mathematical models to predict growth, fillet traits, and composition of wild traíra, Hoplias malabaricus

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the length-weight relationship and mathematical models to predict dressed and fillet weight and yield and fillet composition of wild traíra, Hoplias malabaricus (Bloch, 1794). A total of 80 marketable-sized fish from 292.28 to 2879.57 g and 32.06 to 61.19 cm were used. The length:weight ratio was estimated using the equation: W = a × L b, in which W is body weight (g) and L is length (cm). The models of dressed and fillet weight and yield and body were elaborated using first-order ( y ^ i = β 0 + β 1 x i ) or second-order ( y ^ i = β 0 + β 1 x i + β 1 x i 2 ) linear regression analyses. The value of slope b in the length:weight ratio was 3.3732 and intercept was 0.0029. The prediction equations obtained for dressed weight, fillet weight, dressed yield, fillet yield, fillet gross energy, moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and ash were, respectively: y ^ = 0.3244 + 0.9373 W, y ^ = 0.7651 + 0.4181 W, y ^ = 939.8015 + 0.0019 W, y ^ = 420.55170 + 0.0064 W, y ^ = 997.9600 + 0.0630 W, y ^ = 810.6500 − 0.0085 W, y ^ = 184.080 − 0.0111 W, y ^ = 3.1131 + 0.0049 W, and y ^ = 10.6110 + 0.0009 W, in which W is the body weight of fish (g). We demonstrated the possibility of elaborating realistic expressions to describe degutted weight, fillet weight, and fillet composition. However, lower mathematical adjustment was observed to estimate realistic prediction of dressed and fillet yield.

title: Glyphosate commercial formulation effects on preoptic area and hypothalamus of Cardinal Neon Paracheirodon axelrodi (Characiformes: Characidae)

description: ABSTRACT In Colombia the use of glyphosate commercial formulations (Roundup™) for spraying have left deleterious effects on animals and humans. Much of this spraying takes place at the Orinoco basin, habitat of one of the most exported ornamental fish in Colombia, Cardinal neon. To evaluate the effect of Roundup Activo™ four experimental treatments were carried out with 0 mg/L (T1), 0.1 mg/L (T2), 1 mg/L (T3) and 5 mg/L (T4) during 30 days of exposure. The fishes were processed for high-resolution optical microscopy. The main finding of Roundup Activo™ exposure was an increase in mast cells number in brain blood vessels and some neuronal nuclei of the preoptic and posterior diencephalic areas, including hypothalamus. A correlation between concentrations and mast cells number was observed, with the largest mast cells number in T4 treatment. Mast cells presence is a stress benchmark, suggesting the beginning of allergic, inflammatory and apoptotic events. Presence of mast cells in these brain areas may lead to alterations on reproduction, visual and olfactory information integration among other processes. These alterations may result in diminished survival, affecting the conservation of this species in its natural habitat.

title: Mechanical flower thinning in peach trees

description: Abstract In cultivation of peaches, thinning is conventionally performed on fruits by hand, and needs to be done in a short time and with specialized labor, which increases the operational costs of this practice. Mechanical thinning can be an alternative to manual fruit thinning. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical flower thinning with different equipment in advanced peach orchard. The experiment was conducted in 2016 and 2017, combining advanced selections of peach trees and thinning methods. The evaluated variables were percentage of flowers thinning, thinning time, fruit number per plant, plant production, estimated yield, average fruit mass and fruit diameter class. Flower mechanic thinning alters the yield index of peach trees. Mechanical thinning on peach trees was efficient in flower thinning and reduced the practice execution time. Therefore, mechanical thinning is an alternative to the manual fruit thinning of peach trees.

title: Oxidative stability, fatty acid composition and health lipid indices of Longissimus dorsi muscle from Aberdeen Angus steers produced in different feeding systems

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative and anti-oxidative status of unaged and aged Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle obtained from a commercial abattoir. Also, fatty acid composition and calculated health lipid indices of meat were compared. Animals slaughtered were Aberdeen Angus steers raised in three typical feeding systems of Uruguay: (1) Pasture (n=10), (2) Pasture + Supplement (P+S) with corn grain (n=10), and (3) Feedlot (n=10). Feeding had no effect on lipid and protein oxidation but the antioxidant enzymes activities were affected as follows: superoxide dismutase (SOD): Pasture, Feedlot &gt; P+S; catalase: Pasture &gt; P+S, Feedlot; glutathione peroxidase (GPx): Feedlot &gt; P+S &gt; Pasture. Total antioxidant potential, determined by Fenton reaction, was higher in aged meat from Pasture compared with aged meat from Feedlot. Meat from Pasture and P+S presented a higher eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and total n-3 content and a lower lipid content, n-6/n-3 ratio and trombogenic index compared to meat from Feedlot. In conclusion, Pasture seems to produce a more resistant meat against induced oxidation processes, particularly after ageing, and a healthier meat together with meat from P+S system, regarding fatty acid composition and lipid indices, compared to Feedlot.
