Primeiro registro de Seticornuta Morley (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Metopiinae) do Brasil e descrição de uma nova espécie.

A new species of Seticornuta from Brazil is described and illustrated, the frst record of this genus for the Brazilian fauna. This new species was found in a study that aimed to enhance knowledge of the Brazilian fauna of Metopiinae, analysing samples from the hydrographic basin of Rio Mogi Guaçu. A diagnosis, along with distribution information for Seticornuta species are provided

Helical edge states in multiple topological mass domains

The two-dimensional topological insulating phase has been experimentally discovered in HgTe quantum wells (QWs). The low-energy physics of two-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) is described by the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang (BHZ) model, where the realization of a topological or a normal insulating phase depends on the Dirac mass being negative or positive, respectively. We solve the BHZ model for a mass domain configuration, analyzing the effects on the edge modes of a finite Dirac mass in the normal insulating region (soft-wall boundary condition). We show that at a boundary between a TI and a normal insulator (NI), the Dirac point of the edge states appearing at the interface strongly depends on the ratio between the Dirac masses in the two regions. We also consider the case of multiple boundaries such as NI/TI/NI, TI/NI/TI and NI/TI/NI/TI.Comment: 11 pages, 15 figure

Evolution of a Streamer-Blowout CME as Observed by Imagers on Parker Solar Probe and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory

Context: On 26-27 January 2020, the wide-field imager WISPR on Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed a coronal mass ejection (CME) from a distance of approximately 30 solar radii as it passed through the instrument's 95 degree field-of-view, providing an unprecedented view of the flux rope morphology of the CME's internal structure. The same CME was seen by STEREO, beginning on 25 January. Aims: Our goal was to understand the origin and determine the trajectory of this CME. Methods: We analyzed data from three well-placed spacecraft: Parker Solar Probe (PSP), Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory-Ahead (STEREO-A), and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The CME trajectory was determined using the method described in Liewer et al. (2020) and verified using simultaneous images of the CME propagation from STEREO-A. The fortuitous alignment with STEREO-A also provided views of coronal activity leading up to the eruption. Observations from SDO, in conjunction with potential magnetic field models of the corona, were used to analyze the coronal magnetic evolution for the three days leading up to the flux rope ejection from the corona on 25 January. Results: We found that the 25 January CME is likely the end result of a slow magnetic flux rope eruption that began on 23 January and was observed by STEREO-A/Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUVI). Analysis of these observations suggest that the flux rope was apparently constrained in the corona for more than a day before its final ejection on 25 January. STEREO-A/COR2 observations of swelling and brightening of the overlying streamer for several hours prior to eruption on January 25 led us to classify this as a streamer-blowout CME. The analysis of the SDO data suggests that restructuring of the coronal magnetic fields caused by an emerging active region led to the final ejection of the flux rope.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures.

Formigas cultivadoras de fungos: estado da arte e direcionamento para pesquisas futuras.

A tribo Attini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) compreende 14 gêneros com aproximadamente 230 espécies de formigas descritas que estão envolvidas em um mutualismo obrigatório com fungos. Este fungo é cultivado no interior das colônias para a alimentação das formigas, e tem como substrato uma variedade de material orgânico. O fungo é utilizado na dieta das formigas, que em retribuição fornecem ao fungo substratos para o crescimento, proteção contra parasitas ou competidores e asseguram a sua reprodução. Embora todas as espécies da tribo cultivem fungo, essas formigas são bastante heterogêneas em relação ao sistema de agricultura, tamanho da colônia e estrutura social, métodos de cultivo do fungo, forrageamento, etc. Nesta revisão são discutidas as principais características da agricultura, simbiose e história natural das formigas cultivadoras de fungos, bem como o direcionamento para as pesquisas futuras com essas formigas.Artigo de revisão
