Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

The educator\'s pendular function

Qual a função do educador? Esse foi o mote desta pesquisa, na tentativa de aprofundar os questionamentos a respeito da prescindibilidade psicometodológica tanto para a ação pedagógica, quanto para a formação do educador, utilizando o escopo da psicanálise freudolacaniana para as inflexões que se seguem. Por entender que o campo da palavra e da linguagem, inexoravelmente, está implicado na constituição do sujeito e, devido a isso, não há um tempo para que a mesma seja concluída, voltamo-nos ao entendimento da teoria dos discursos de Lacan para focalizar o discurso pedagógico ortodoxo, antepondo às figuras do ortodoxo e do obsessivo uma educadora sui generis do final do século XIX, que pouco sabia das pedagogias tecnocientíficas da época e, mesmo assim, encontrou meios de levar a cabo a educação de uma menina de 7 anos, cega, surda, muda e que não havia aprendido ainda a falar, nem a utilizar a linguagem dos sinais: Helen Keller. Na tentativa de desdobrar os fatores que teriam funcionado tão bem nessa experiência desafiadora, direcionamos nossas indagações a respeito do estilo de endereçamento do educador, desembocando num protomodelo pendular, inspirado num dos mais belos experimentos da Física, o pêndulo de Foucault, em cujo ponto de sustentação para a palavra educ(a)tiva alocamos em liberdade relativa de giro o estilo , assentado não nos conhecimentos psicotecnocientíficos da pedagogia ortodoxa, mas no objeto a, objeto causa de desejo, conceito lacaniano fundamental dentro da teoria psicanalítica. Finalizamos nosso percurso de pesquisa, enfim, descrevendo o funcionamento desse hipotético pendular, cujas extremidades nomeamos como desejo-dopedagogo e ome-(im)próprio espécies de reedições daquilo que, um dia, na vida do sujeito, cumpriu a função simbólica de mãe e pai.Whats the educator function? Thats the objective of this research, in the attempt of going deeper in the questions about the unnecessary psychological methodology of the pedagogic action but the educator formation as well, using the target of Freud and Lacan theories for the inflexion that follow. For understanding the field of word and language, inexorably, its implied in the constitution of subjects and, because of it, theres no time for it to be concluded, so we get back to the theory of speeches, in Lacan, to focus in the orthodox learning method, opposing between the figures of the orthodox and the obsessive an educator sui generis, of the end of the XIX century that knew only a few of the scientific pedagogic methods of that time and, even then, has found ways to connect the education of a seven years old girl who was blind, mute, deaf and still had never learned to talk or to use language of signs. Helen Keller. In the attempt to unroll the factors that have functioned in this defying experience, we direct our doubts to the style of the mode of adress of each educator suggesting a pendulum model, inspired in one of the most beautiful experiments of physics, the pendulum of Foucault, witch point of sustentation for the educative word we locate in freedom relative of spin the style, putted not in the scientific and psychological knowledge of orthodox pedagogical methods, but in the object a, object of desire, one of the main concepts insides of Lacanian theory. So we end our psychological research, just with the description of this hypothetic pendulum witch extremes are named as desire-ofthe- pedagogue and proper-name - a kind of reprint of what someday in the life of the subject, may fulfill the parental function

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
