ANÁLISE ESTRUTURAL DOS INVESTIMENTOS DO PAC EM INFRAESTRUTURA LOGÍSTICA NO ESTADO DA BAHIA*

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the economic impacts generated by the investments of the Program to Accelerate Growth (PAC) in logistics infrastructure in the State of Bahia, Brazil, between the period 2007 to 2010. Thus, the method adopted is based on the modified variant of RAS aggregate, which was obtained in the Input-Output Matrix of the State, the base year 2006. Thus, given that public investments in infrastructure have positive effects on economic activity, it is inferred that these investments have generated approximately R$7.6 billion increase in output in the economy, create approximately 54 thousand of direct and indirect jobs and generated approximately R$ 3.3 billion of additional income in the Bahia's economy. However, the spillover effects reveal that some of these results showed serious structural weaknesses of the state.O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar os impactos econômicos gerados pelos investimentos do Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC) em infraestrutura logística no estado da Bahia entre o período de 2007 a 2010.

Assim, tendo em vista que os investimentos públicos em infraestrutura têm efeitos positivos na atividade econômica, infere-se que esses investimentos geraram aproximadamente R$7,6 bilhões de aumento do produto na economia, criaram cerca de 54 mil empregos diretos e indiretos e geraram aproximadamente R$ 3,3 bilhões de renda adicional na economia baiana.

Floristic survey of vascular plants of a poorly known area in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Flona do Rio Preto, Espírito Santo)

The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in the world. Despite that, this biome still includes many areas that are poorly known floristically, including several protected areas, such as the "Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto" ("Flona do Rio Preto"), located in the Brazilian State of Espírito Santo. This study used a published vascular plant species list for this protected area from the "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil" as the basis to synthesise the species richness, endemism, conservation and new species occurrences found in the "Flona do Rio Preto".The published list of vascular plants was based on field expeditions conducted between 2018 and 2020 and data obtained from herbarium collections available in online databases. Overall, 722 species were documented for the "Flona do Rio Preto", 711 of which are native to Brazil and 349 are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. In addition, 60 species are geographically disjunct between the Atlantic and the Amazon Forests. Most of the documented species are woody and more than 50% of these are trees. Twenty-three species are threatened (CR, EN and VU), while five are Data Deficient (DD). Thirty-two species are new records for the State of Espírito Santo. Our results expand the knowledge of the flora of the Atlantic Forest and provide support for the development of new conservation policies for this protected area

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.
