An unpublished manuscript by Georg Heinrich Langsdorff on “fish stuffing”
type: item
description: Fish herbaria constituted a method of preparing specimens of those animals alternative to their immersion in alcohol or by stuffing, used by several naturalists in the 18th and 19th centuries, since the technique was orignally created by Jan Frederik Gronovius. Here we present an unpublished manuscript of George Heinrich Langsdorff, probably read at a French scientific Society in the beggining of the 19th century, after his stay in Portugal, where he perfected the rechnique of fish stuffing. The manuscript, written in French, is transcribed, translated into Portuguese and commented. A summary of Langsdoff’s life, travels and works is also presented.

Distribution patterns of roadkilled wild vertebrates at the ‘Núcleo Experimental de Iguaba Grande’ (NEIG-UFF), Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil
type: item
description: Although the evolution of transportation has been crucial to Brazil’s development, the linear infrastructures associated with it cause a series of impacts on biodiversity. Vertebrate roadkills are the most notorious of these and, therefore, the most studied ones; however, studies on this topic are still lacking in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The present research aimed to investigate the relevance of vertebrate roadkill rates along the RJ-106 road within the ‘Núcleo Experimental de Iguaba Grande’ area, identifying their temporal and spatial patterns. To do so, we carried out weekly on-foot samplings over the course of two years, totaling 189 km in 105 field incursions. The recorded data, comprising 245 occurrences from 23 identified species, revealed a roadkill rate of 1.296 individuals/km/day. Aves was the group with most records (n = 92), followed by Amphibia (n = 70), Mammalia (n = 55) and Reptilia (n = 24). Contrary to our expectations, no statistically significant differences were found in monthly roadkill rates between dry and wet seasons for most investigated groups, except for amphibians, which exhibited higher rates in the wet season. Although not statistically significant, we found, through a Canonical Correspondence Analysis, relations between some groups and landscape characteristics: amphibian roadkills were associated to dry forest, reptiles to open vegetation, and mammals to water bodies and urban/anthropized areas. The observed distribution patterns, both temporal and spatial, can be attributed to the behavioral ecology of the recorded species and the distribution of resources in the environment. In all, this study provides valuable data for an important vegetation remnant in the Cabo Frio Region and suggests potential mitigation measures. By shedding light on the road-induced ecological effects in this particular region of the state, we aim to emphasize the importance of addressing and minimizing such impacts.

Through the restructuring of an entomological collection, a treasure: 30s’ dipterans from the personal collection of Carlos Rodolpho Fischer bringing new records
type: item
description: Biological collections contain valuable information about biodiversity and are essential to both science and society. During the restructuring of the entomological collection at the Laboratório de Coleções Zoológicas of the Instituto Butantan, a wooden cigar box was discovered containing a collection of fly specimens (Order Diptera) collected in the municipality of São Paulo by Carlos Rodolpho Fischer, a German draftsman, photographer, and expert in Diptera. The specimens were treated with isopropyl alcohol, dried, identified, registered, and properly stored. A total of 293 individuals from 13 Diptera families were found. Of these, 248 specimens were identified to the species level. New records of three species and one genus were added to the state of São Paulo: Acrosticta apicalis (Williston, 1896), Polymorphomyia tridentata (Hendel, 1914), Tetreuaresta obscuriventris (Loew, 1873), and Poecilominettia sp. 1. The biological material has been incorporated into the Coleção Entomológica do Instituto Butantan. Additionally, an internal database containing photographic records of the specimens, their respective labels, and the box in which they were created.

Erratum: Ecological attributes of aquatic invertebrates in two water turbidity scenarios in a lake of the Pantanal, Brazil
type: item
description: The objective of this work was to determine the taxonomic structure and Functional Feeding Groups (FFGs) of benthic invertebrates and their roles in two different water turbidity scenarios in a floodplain lake in the Pantanal wetland (Sinhá Mariana Lake, Barão de Melgaço, state of Mato Grosso). We studied the benthic invertebrate fauna at 18 sampling sites in periods of high turbidity (HT) and low turbidity (LT) during high water (HW) and low water (LW). We hypothesize that the structure of Chironomidae assemblages (species and functional feeding groups) varies between sites in Sinhá Mariana Lake, and the density and diversity attributes of species in this family and their functional feeding groups are reduced under increased turbidity. Depth, water temperature, turbidity, pH, pCO₂, water color, and organic matter content of the sediment were analyzed in each sampling site. Chironomidae presented higher density and diversity in periods of high water (HW) in sites with low turbidity water (LT). The dominance increased in periods of low water (LW). The main FFGs were represented by collector-gatherers, while the smallest groups corresponded to shredder-herbivores (50% and 9% of the total abundance, respectively). Collector-gatherers (Aedokritus sp., Chironomus strenzkei, Goeldichironomus petiolicola, G. maculatus, Beardius phytophilus), predators (Ablabesmyia gr. annulata, Labrundinia sp. and Cryptochironomus brasiliensis) and shredder-herbivores (Asheum sp., Polypedilum sp., Polypedilum gr. fallax) predominated in high water (HW) periods. A change in the community structure from the HW to LW was evidenced, characterized by the substitution of collector-gatherers for collector-filterers. Notodiaptomus deitersi (Crustacea) was dominant in LW (dominance index = 10.9) and Aedokritus sp. (Insecta) in HW (dominance index = 5.4). Water turbidity and the hydrological cycle are important factors determining spatial and temporal patterns in communities, particularly changes in…

The discovery of marsupials and the “simivulpa”, a forgotten symbol of the New World
type: item
description: Subject to several controversies and speculations, the voyage of Vicente Yáñez Pinzón to the New World (1499-1500) led to the discovery of the first marsupial ever seen by an European. Described as a “monstrous beast” by the chronicler Pietro Martire d’Anghiera, this quadruped attracted great attention for having a pouch in its belly in which it carried its young. Based on this account, Martin Waldseemüller included a fanciful image of this mammal in his famous “Carta Marina” of 1516. Although more accurate figures and reports already existed in the first half of the 16th century, Martire d’Anghiera and Waldseemüller would define much of the later narratives and illustrations, being reproduced or adapted on numerous occasions. Under the name of “simivulpa” (“apish fox”), this “prodigious animal” was regarded as a symbol of the Americas for several decades, with a well marked presence in the cartography. Such a view finally disappeared at the end of the 17th century, but the reluctance of scholars to consider marsupials as a distinct group of mammals, with characteristics very different from those of placentals, has given rise to many doubts and misconceptions, some of which destined to persist at least until the beginning of the 20th century.

The earliest iconographic record of Gobioides broussonnetii La Cepède, 1800 (Gobiiformes: Gobiidae): the species identity of the “Caramuru” paintings of Dutch Brazil (1624-1654)
type: item
description: During the Mauritian period of Dutch Brazil (1637‑1644), a great deal of information about the biota of northeastern Brazil was obtained, consisting of both written records and paintings. Among them is an eel-like fish, depicted in two paintings labeled “Caramurû” and “Caramuru”, whose taxonomic identity is controversial. One of them, attributed to Albert Eckhout, is part of the Theatrum Rerum Naturalium Brasiliae collection, stored at the Jagiellonian University Library, in Poland. This painting was possibly a model for the second “Caramuru”, of unknown authorship, which is deposited at the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. These paintings are doubtfully identified as the snake eel Echiophis intertinctus (Ophichthidae, Anguilliformes), a proposal likely induced by the vulgar name “caramuru”, which is applied to muraenids and ophichthids in Brazil. After careful examination of these two paintings regarding the anatomical details depicted, we concluded that the fish corresponds, with great certainty, to Gobioides broussonnetii (Gobiidae, Gobiiformes), popularly known as “aimoré” and “tajasica”. Furthermore, we suggest the possibility that the written counterpart of these paintings is the description associated with the woodcut of the fish labeled as “Tajasica” in the Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (Marggraf in de Laet, 1648). The confusion probably stems from mismatches between Georg Marggraf’s descriptions and the images of organisms produced at the time, perhaps before the return of Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen’s entourage to Europe. In an attempt to support our conclusions about the identity of that fish, as well as for historical purposes, we also discuss the vernacular names applied to G. broussonnetii and the authorship of the notes made on those paintings.

Contribuição para o conhecimento da alimentação das aves brasileiras
type: item
description: Pequeno é ainda o número de trabalhos que tratam do conteúdo gástrico das aves do Brasil. Existem muitas indicações espalhadas nos trabalhos clássicos sobre a avifauna, como, por exemplo, nos estudos do Príncipe de Wied, Burmeister e outros, resultados aproveitados em larga escala por A. Brehm no seu célebre livro u Tierleben". Nos últimos anos apareceram algumas publicações brasileiras sobre este assunto. Em 1941 veio a lúmen o trabalho de João Moojen, José Cândido de Carvalho e Hugo de Souza Lopes, sobre as aves dos arredores de Viçosa (MG), de Ilha Seca no Noroeste de São Paulo e de Salobra no Leste de Mato Grosso, apresentando os resultados de 784 exemplares de aves (189 espécies). Em 1949 foi publicado um trabalho póstumo de Adolpho Hempel, incluindo 61 espécies em 110 exemplares, além de informações sobre 53 perdizes {Rhynchotus) e 117 codornas (Nothura), provenientes do Estado de São Paulo e regiões limítrofes.

A fauna do Cerrado
type: item
description: Desde 1946 tenho tido farta oportunidade de estudar a fauna dos extensos cerrados do Brasil Central em Goiás, Mato Grosso e Pará, regiões ainda não atingidas pela civilização, no começo do meu trabalho ali. Cheguei à conclusão que, de um modo geral, não é fácil estabelecer o conceito de uma fauna típica do cerrado – “típico" no sentido de tratar-se de uma fauna endêmica, restrita à formação do cerrado. As aves características do cerrado, p. ex., vi[1]vem, na sua maioria, também em outros tipos de paisagens abertas de composição botânica desigual e de origem notoriamente diferente, inclusive regiões transformadas pela cultura. Assim, torna-se às vezes problemático averiguar a distribuição original desses animais.

Comentários sobre os mamíferos Descritos e Figurados por Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira em 1790
type: item
description: Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira (1756-1815), o primeiro zoólogo nascido no Brasil, que reuniu importantes coleções e sobre elas escreveu trabalhos de bastante mérito para o seu tempo, não teve a sorte de os ver publicados em vida. Seus manuscritos foram depositados inicialmente no Real Museu de Lisboa, onde permaneceram desconhecidos, e daí vieram ter ao Rio de Janeiro em 1842, graças a entendimentos havidos entre os governos de Portugal e Brasil. Alguns dos trabalhos foram então publicados em diversas revistas. Alguns desenhos foram copiados em cor no Real Jardim Botânico de Portugal, para o Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, e aqui identificados por E. Goeldi (1886). Por outro lado, parte dos manuscritos e coleções, conservados em Lisboa, foram levadas para o Museu de Paris como presa de guerra por Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire em 1808. Ali, muitos dos exemplares serviram para descrições do próprio Étienne (1812). de Desmarest & Blainville (1817), Isidore Geoffroy (1844), etc. Em 1934 foi publicado mais um MS original, as Observações geraes e Particulares sobre a Classe dos Mammaes, observados nos três Rios, das Amazonas, Negro, e da Madeira. Não sendo esta edição acompanhada de notas críticas, resolvemos executar a tarefa. Esta não tem apenas o interesse histórico que logicamente desperta a obra do infortunado bahiano; tem também importância científica, pois sua coleção serviu de base à descrição de inúmeras formas, sobre diversas das quais há incerteza, quando não erros e omissões.

Resultados ornitológicos de quatro recentes expedições do Departamento de Zoologia ao Nordeste do Brasil, com a descrição de seis novas subespécies
type: item
description: Tem o presente estudo por objeto apresentar uma sumula dos resultados ornitológicos de quatro expedições de coleta empreendidas no nordeste brasileiro pelo Departamento de Zoologia da Secretaria da Agricultura de São Paulo, valendo-se não só dos recursos postos à sua disposição pelo Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas, benemerita organização cujo papel no desenvolvimento da pesquisa cientifica entre nós é desnecessário encarecer, como também do auxílio financeiro advindo de uma bem[1]vinda colaboração com o Los Angeles County Museum, conhecida instituição congenere, com sede nos Estados Unidos (Califórnia).

Bionomia de Mantodea (Insecta) em Laboratório. I – Parastagmatoptera Unipunctata (Burm., 1838). Mantidae-Vatinae
type: item
description: A criação dos insetos da ordem Mantodea vem sendo objeto de pesquisas de um dos autores (Travassos Filho), desde 1942, já tendo publicado algumas observações (7, 8, 9, 10 e 11). Embora até o presente tivessem sido criadas muitas espécies, com os respectivos dados bionômico devidamente registrados, a oportunidade para uma analise completa e inicio de publicação dessas observações só surgiu recente[1]mente, com a vinda para o Departamento de Zoologia, da biologista co-autora deste artigo (Heitzmann), que vem se dedicando ao estudo morfológico dos mantodeos adultos e suas formas evolutivas, particularmente as exuvias, com objetivo de verificação dos caracteres que possam servir à sistemática desses curiosos insetos (4 e 5).
