Urban evolution analysis of Rio de Janeiro city from historical maps

O mapeamento urbano temporal utilizando mapas históricos reconstrói e gera uma progressiva e georreferenciada descrição visual das mudanças urbanas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a evolução da cidade do Rio de Janeiro utilizando dados recuperados de plantas cartográficas do passado e na comparação de elementos encontrados nestes documentos. A presente pesquisa utiliza a planta da cidade de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro de 1812, a planta de 1906 da administração do prefeito Pereira Passos e o mapa digital da cidade do Rio de Janeiro relativo ao ano de 2000. A metodologia é subdividida nas seguintes etapas: (a) seleção dos mapas cartográficos a serem utilizados, (b) co-registro dos mapas de forma a permitir a sua sobreposição, e (c) análise das feições invariantes ao tempo e mudanças ocorridas estabelecendo eixos de expansão. O banco de dados de mapas temporais forneceu uma perspectiva ilustrada e histórica do crescimento urbano no Rio de Janeiro entre 1812 e 2000. A Igreja e o Estado são os principais agentes modeladores do espaço, neste estudo, possuindo as principais construções invariantes ao longo do tempo. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThe temporal urban mapping using historical maps reconstructs and generates a progressive and geo-referenced visual depiction of urban change. This paper aims to investigate the evolution of the Rio de Janeiro city using ancient cartographic maps and comparing elements found in these documents. This research uses the plant of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro city in 1812, the plant in 1906 the administration of Mayor Pereira Passos, and the digital map of the Rio de Janeiro city, 2000. The methodology is subdivided into the following steps: (a) selection of cartographic maps to be used, (b) co-registration of the maps in order to allow their overlapping, and (c) identification of the time-invariant features and change detection, establishing axes expansion. Temporal map database provided an illustrated and historical perspective of the urban growth in Rio de Janeiro between 1812 and 2000. Church and State Government are the main drivers of the modeling space, having the main buildings invariant over time

Evaluation of tagetes patula (Asteraceae) as an ecological alternative in the search for natural control of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is a great sanitary problem and causes huge losses to livestock, being a vector of important diseases. The aim of this work was to verify the action of plant-derived material obtained from Tagetes patula on the life cycle of R. microplus, as well as to analyze the action of these extracts on ovary cells of engorged females. In the Adult Immersion Test, the crude ethanolic extract (TpEtOH) showed an efficacy of 99.2% (LC50 = 18.60 mg mL−1). From the repellency test, it was found that both the TpEtOH and essential oil were 100% efficient on the larval stage. In addition, in the Larval Package Test, a mortality of 98.37% was obtained with TpEtOH (LC50 = 3.798 mg mL−1). From the microscopic analysis of ovary cells, morphological changes in the chorion and cytoplasm of oocytes were observed, with vacuolization around the germinal vesicle and disorganization of the pedicular cells, suggesting an interference in the normal embryogenic formation of the larvae. These results demonstrate that T. patula extracts interfere at all stages of development of the ixodid, from eggs to adults forms, and have a pronounced repellent effect. In addition, the results of the cytotoxicity assays performed on keratinocytes, as well as previous information on oral and dermal acute toxicity (LD50 > 4000 mg kg−1), attest that T. patula can be a safe alternative for ectoparasitic control, representing an alternative for development of a formulation used to help control populations of ticks in the field774601618CNPQ - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e TecnológicoEMBRAPA – Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa AgropecuáriaFAPESP – Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa Do Estado De São Paulo150302/2017-702.13.01.001.00-002013/03493-8; 2013/07600-

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.
