NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans – anteaters, sloths, and armadillos – have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with 24 domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, ten anteaters, and six sloths. Our dataset includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data-paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the south of the USA, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to its austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n=5,941), and Cyclopes sp. has the fewest (n=240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n=11,588), and the least recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n=33). With regards to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n=962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n=12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other datasets of Neotropical Series which will become available very soon (i.e. Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans dataset

The Structural Relation Between Mortgage and Market Interest Rates

This paper analyzes the dynamic relationship between primary and secondary mortgage markets and the short-term and long-term market interest rates. Using a series of monthly data on fixed rate mortgage rates and GNMA rates, we explore the dependence and speed of adjustment in these primary and secondary mortgage rates to each other as well as to the long and short-term government rates. The results indicate that residential mortgage rates in general, appear to follow the long-term rate and are not very sensitive to movements in the short-term interest rate.

Recovery of degraded pasture in Rondônia: macronutrients and productivity of brachiaria brizantha Recuperação de pastagem degradada em Rondônia: macronutrientes e produtividade da brachiaria brizantha

Pasture is the main form of land use in Amazonia. Over time the pasture grass loses vigor and yields decrease, indicating a certain degree of degeneration. The main causes of degradation are lack of pasture maintenance and subsequent weed infestation, the choice of regionally unsuitable forage species and excessive grazing. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of different recovery managements on soil chemical properties and grass yield of a degraded pasture in Rondônia. For this purpose, an experiment was installed in October 2001, consisting of five treatments: C = control; HA = harrowing + NPK + micronutrients; HE = Herbicide + NK + micronutrients; R = No-tillage rice + NPK + micronutrients; and S = No-tillage soybean + PK + micronutrients. The following N, P and K sources were used: ammonium sulfate for N, calcined phosphate for P and potassium chloride for K. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. The shoot dry matter yield of the grass was analyzed as of the 35th month of experimentation, in a dry and a rainy period. Phosphorus fertilization resulted in significant increases in Ca2+ and Mg2+ and increasing trend of P in the topsoil in the initial months of the experiment in treatments HA and S and increases in Ca2+ and P (trend) in the treatment R. The cumulative production of Brachiaria brizantha, from Sep/2004 to Mar/2005, was 30,025, 28,267 and 27,735 kg ha-1 shoot dry matter in the treatments HA, R and S, respectively. These values differed significantly from treatments C and HE, with 17,040 and 17,057 kg ha-1, respectively. It was concluded that phosphorus fertilization associated to pasture reform was effective to raise the dry matter yield of Brachiaria brizantha. Rice or soybean under no-tillage is recommended as a practice of pasture recovery, due to the residual effect of fertilization.<br>As pastagens consistem no principal uso da terra na Amazônia. Com o tempo de utilização do pasto, a gramínea perde o vigor e reduz a produtividade, caracterizando algum estado de degradação. Entre as principais causas de degradação estão a falta de manutenção do pasto e consequente infestação de plantas invasoras, a escolha de espécies forrageiras inadequadas à região e o pastejo excessivo. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi avaliar o impacto de diferentes manejos de recuperação sobre os atributos químicos do solo e a produtividade da gramínea numa pastagem degradada em Rondônia. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi instalado, em outubro de 2001, um experimento composto de 5 tratamentos: T = testemunha (controle); G = gradagem + NPK + micronutrientes; H = herbicida + NK + micronutrientes; A = plantio direto de arroz + NPK + micronutrientes; e S = Plantio direto de soja + PK+ micronutrientes. As seguintes fontes de N, P e K foram utilizadas: sulfato de amônio para N, termofosfato para o P e cloreto de potássio para o K. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. A produção de matéria seca da parte área da gramínea foi analisada a partir do trigésimo quinto mês de experimentação, englobando um período seco e outro úmido. A adubação fosfatada propiciou incrementos significativos de Ca2+ e Mg2+ e tendência de aumento de P na camada superficial do solo nos primeiros meses de condução do experimento nos tratamentos G e S e incrementos de Ca2+ e P (tendência) no tratamento A. A produtividade acumulada de Brachiaria brizantha, obtida entre os meses de set/2004 e mar/2005, foi de 30.025, 28.267 e 27.735 kg ha-1 de matéria seca da parte aérea, nos tratamentos G, A e S, respectivamente, as quais diferiram significativamente dos tratamentos T e H: 17.040 e 17.057 kg ha-1, respectivamente. Concluiu-se que a adubação fosfatada, associada à reforma da pastagem, foi efetiva no incremento de produção da matéria seca de Brachiaria brizantha. O plantio direto do arroz ou da soja é aconselhável como prática de reforma de pastagens, por propiciar o efeito residual da adubação
