Primeiro registro de Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) em cardeiro (Scleronema micranthum) (Bombacaceae) na Amazônia Central

The occurrence of Cerambycidae (Lamiinae) was evaluated in trunk and branch samples of cardeiro (Scleronema micranthum), a forest species from the Central Amazon. Samples were exposed to biodegradation for 24 months on the forest soil, during which adults and larvae were collected and their attack was evaluated. From a total of 643 cerambycids collected, 606 were immatures and 37 were adults. Two species of Acanthoderini, Psapharochrus longispinis (Bates) (17 specimens) and Steirastoma melanogenys White (17 specimens) were collected, as well as one species of Onciderini, Jamesia globifera (Fabricius) (three specimens). Most larvae were found in the bark of trunks and branches, while pupae and adults were mainly found in the sapwood

Insetos em presépios e as "formigas vestidas" de Jules Martin (1832-1906): uma curiosa manufatura paulistana do final do século XIX

Encontrados no Brasil desde os primórdios da colonização portuguesa, os presépios logo tiveram de adaptar-se à realidade local, circunstância muito propícia ao aparecimento de concepções heterodoxas e ao emprego de elementos exóticos da fauna e flora de cada região. Como registros envolvendo insetos são muito pouco comuns, chama a atenção que fêmeas de saúva, Atta sp. (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), tenham sido aproveitadas na composição de presépios no estado de São Paulo. Tendo subsistido pelo menos até a década 1960, os "presépios de formigas" existentes em cidades como Embu das Artes poderiam estar relacionados às "formigas vestidas" criadas por Jules Martin, curiosa manufatura paulistana do último quartel do século XIX.Present in Brazil since the beginning of Portuguese colonization, crèche nativity scenes were soon adapted to local reality, a propitious circumstance for the appearance of heterodox conceptions and the use of exotic elements of the fauna and flora peculiar to each region. As records about insects are very uncommon, it is noteworthy that females of leaf-cutting ants, Atta sp. (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), were used to compose crèche nativity scenes in São Paulo State. Having subsisted at least up to the decade of 1960, the "ant crèches" of cities such as Embu das Artes could be related to the then famous "dressed ants" created by Jules Martin, a curious manufacture of the city of São Paulo in the last quarter of the 19th century

Los derrubios estratificados holocenos del cañón de Calomarde (Sierra de Albarracín, Teruel) y su reconstrucción paleoambiental

En el cañón de Calomarde, Sierra de Albarracín, se localiza una de las acumulaciones de derrubios estratificados más importante de la Cordillera Ibérica. Estos depósitos de ladera han sido atribuidos tradicionalmente a periodos fríos del Pleistoceno. En el perfil analizado en este trabajo se han diferenciado cuatro etapas de este tipo de acumulaciones de ambiente frío separadas por paleosuelos, en los que ha sido posible efectuar cuatro dataciones 14C. Los resultados sitúan el conjunto en el Holoceno inferior y medio. Estos datos junto con la presencia de tobas calizas en la parte basal del perfil han permitido establecer una secuencia paleoambiental en la que se alternan periodos de fuerte activación de la gelifracción y desarrollo de derrubios estratificados, con fases de estabilidad marcadas por los niveles edáficos y acumulación de tobas calizas en el fondo del valle. Finalmente se establece una relación parcial con eventos climáticos holocenos de carácter regional y global.In the Calomarde canyon, Sierra de Albarracín, one of the most important accumulations of stratified debris in the Iberian Mountain Range is located. These hillside deposits have traditionally been attributed to cold periods of the Pleistocene. In the profile analyzed in this work, four stages of this type of cold environment accumulations separated by paleosols have been distinguished, in which it has been possible to carry out four 14C dates. The results place the whole in the lower and middle Holocene. These data, together with the presence of limestone tuffs in the basal part of the profile, have made it possible to establish a palaeoenvironmental sequence in which periods of strong activation of gelifraction and the development of stratified debris alternate, with stability phases marked by edaphic levels and accumulation. of limestone tuffs at the bottom of the valley. Finally, a partial relationship is established with regional and global Holocene climatic events.Fil: Peña Monné, Jose Luis. Universidad de Zaragoza.
