INTRODUCTION SISBI/UFU library Collection is formed by informational material acquired through purchase, donation and/or exchange. In order to select, to acquire, to process and to download these materials it is necessary to establish criteria through the Collection development Policy, to guarantee the quality and quantity of our Collection. 2. GENERAL GOAL SISBI aims to meet the information needs of teachers, students and staff, collaborating for trinomium teaching, for research and Institution extension. 3. SPECIFIC GOALS The Policy of Collection formation and development aims to define the criteria for Collection development and updating, such as: a) to establish the criteria for works selection by observing the quantity and quality, according to courses' characteristics and needs; b) permanently update the Collection, allowing its growth and balance; c) to set priorities and deadlines for informational material acquisition; d) to direct, to streamline and to manage financial resources; e) to establish, to formalize and to manage the exchange of periodicals published by UFU; f) to establish guidelines for Collection evaluation; g) to draw up guidelines for disposing material. 4 4 REPONSABILITY SISBI Directors Board and DAPT - SSA are responsible for the creation and implementation of SISBI Collection development Policy. 5 COLLECTION FORMATION The Collection must be constituted according to the available budgetary resources, contemplating the different types of materials in varied supports, aiming at the quantitative and qualitative growth. This material should serve as an informational support to teaching, research and Institution extension activities. Each library Collection must be constituted according to the knowledge areas of the campus where the library is located, unless some faculty justifies its use during the course as a basic bibliography. 6 GENERAL SELECTION CRITERIA As for the Collection formation, the informational material must be selected according to the following criteria: a) adequacy of the academic curriculum to the institution research lines; b) content updating and quality; c) amount (excess/shortage) of material on a same subject within the collection; d) subject coverage/treatment; e) justifiable cost/benefit ratio; f) accessible language; g) potential users; h) material physical conditions; i) original publications; j) format compatible with existing equipment; k) if it is regarding periodicals: that are not available by free access online; 5 that are indexed in some database; that possess good conceptualization in Qualis (Capes); that the content covered is not multidisciplinary. In order to ensure a rational and balanced Collection growth, it is necessary to adopt quantitative and qualitative development criteria. 6.1 Qualitative selection Selection and Acquisition Sector (SESEL) is responsible for the periodic disclosure of the periods of acquisition of informational material and the collection to the units for this assignment to be fulfilled.

  • THE P-3 and EST LOCI in the HONEYBEE APZS Mellzferal
    THE P-3 AND EST LOCI IN THE HONEYBEE APZS MELLZFERAl MOACYR ANTONIO MESTRINER AND EUCLEIA PRIM0 BETIOLI CONTEL Department of Genetics, Faculdade de Medicina, University of &io Paulo, 141OO-Ribeiri?o Preto, SP.,Brad ABSTRACT Data for Apis mellifera indicate that the P-3 proteins and one esterase en- zyme are controlled by two genes, P-3 and Est, with two alleles each. The fre- quency of the P-3 alleles is different in the two subspecies (udunsonii and Zigus- &a), that for P-3F in Italian bees being 46.9% and in African 0.5%. The frequency of Ests is 2.8% in both populations. The Est locus has two codominant alleles and the locus P-3 has two incom- pletely dominant alleles; the heterozygote P-3S/P-3F shows only an inter- mediate band. The two loci are not genetically linked. EES provide good material for genetic work; while studies have been made on their proteins (LENSKY1967; GILLIAMand JACKSON1972) and isozymes ( TRIPATHIand DIXON1968, 1969) little work has been reported on the genetics of such macromolecules. Four qualities make bees suitable for such studies; a) artificial insemination and numerous beekeeping techniques have already been developed, making these insects readily controllable; b) it is possible to obtain great quantities of material since populations of a colony may vary from fifty to 150,000 workers; c) bees are large enough to furnish material not only for indi- vidual electrophoresis but also for electrophoresis of individual tissues and organs; d) bees are a totally haplo-diploid genetic system. This last property is the field of work of many researchers in this laboratory so that any discovery by one is im- mediately used by others.

The body bees considerably accompanies variations in ambient temperature of an animal refers to the quantity of stored temperature, and the performance of most of its activity is thermal energy per unit of body mass. This energy can be largely affected by air temperature.

  • Bees As Pollinators in Brazil Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators, Hereafter Referred to As the International Pollinator Initiative (IPI)
    The São Paulo Declaration on Pollinators, was endorsed in May 2000 by the fifth Conference of Parties of Convention of Biological Diversity (COP5), held in Nairobi (section II of the decision v/5, that reviewed the implementation of decisions III/11 and IV/6 on the program of work on agrobiodiversity). COP5 established an International Initiative for the Bees as pollinators in Brazil Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators, hereafter referred to as the International Pollinator Initiative (IPI). Bees as pollinators in Brazil assessing the status and suggesting best practices A Plan of Action was then prepared by Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the CBD Secretariat, endorsed by SBSTTA7, and recommended for adoption by CBD COP6. The Plan of Action of the IPI was accepted by member countries and adopted at COP 6 (decision VI/5). Since then, most regions of the world have established or are in process of establishing wide-ranging pollinators initiatives. The core objectives of IPI are also kept by the regional Initiatives. They are: • Monitor pollinator decline, its causes and its impact on pollinator services • Address the lack of taxonomic information on pollinators • Assess the economic value of pollination and the economic impact of assessing the status and suggesting best practices the decline of pollination services • Promote the conservation, the restoration and sustainable use of polli- nator diversity in agriculture as well as in related ecosystems Edited by Vera Lucia Imperatriz-Fonseca, Antonio Mauro Saraiva, David De Jong To follow this agenda, the Brazilian Pollinators Initiative, under the sup- port of FAO, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Science and Technology and Sao Paulo University, promoted the workshop São Paulo Declaration on Pollinators Plus 5, in October 2003 .

Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Instituto de Genética e Bioquímica, Uberlándia, Minas Gérais, Brazil. ^Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Balboa, República do Panamá. Abstract One of the commonest neotropical stingless bees is Tetragonisca angustula (Latreille, 1811), popularly known in Portuguese as jatai, which occurs in variable nesting sites from IVIexico to Argentina. We used 18 primers to generate 218 RAPD markers which we used to determined the genetic distance between 7. angustula populations from 25 localities in three different Latin America countries, using Tetragonisca weyrauctii Uom the Brazilian state of Acre and the common honey bee [Apis mellifera) as outgroups. Genetic distance, calculated as the Percentage of Dissimilarity (14%), based on all markers divided the 7. angustula population into eastern (group 1) and western (group 2) groups. However, we were able to separate the two groups by using only two primers that have generated five specific molecular markers. The eastern group consists of 7. angustula angustula which occurs from Panama to the Brazilian states of Maranhao and northern Minas Gerais and has spread through the Brazilian Atlantic Forest as far as the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.

  • Adaptive Behavior of Scotocryptus Melitophilus Reitter (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) to Live with Its Host Melipona Quadrifasciata Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
    Adaptive behavior of Scotocryptus melitophilus Reitter (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) to live with its host Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Apidae) José Maurício Dias Bezerra 1 Rui Carlos Peruquetti 2 Warwick Estevam Kerr 3 ABSTRACT. Forty six beetles Scotocryptus melitophilus Reitter, 1881 collected in a nest of Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier, 1836 were studied. All beetles were put together in a large petri dish with 14 males, 14 virgin queens and 14 workers of M. quadrifasciata, which was not aggressive towards the S. melitophilus and flew with 3 to 10 beetles attached to them. When groups of 20 workers, 20 males and 20 virgin queens were put separately in three petri dishes, the workers become attractive to beetles afier they were seven days old, while the males afier the 19 days old. Only one virgin queen five days old attracted one beetle. The anatomic parts ofthe workers bees more attractive to the beetles when smeared to a filter papel" were the head (32%), abdomen (29%) and legs (29%). The part of the workers bees that less attracted the beetles was the thol"ax (10%). S. melitophilus, both males and females , are able to distinguish caste, sex and age differences of their host M. quadrifasciata, what can increase the adaptive value ofthe beetles involved in phoretic behavior. KEY WORDS. Scotocryptus, Melipona, adaptive behavior, phoresy, caste Comparing ants and termites with social wasps and bees, the number of symbionts is large in the first two groups, whose majority are ground dwellers, and small in the last two groups (WILSON 1971; KISTNER 1982). However, the high-so­ cial stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini) seem to be an exception to this rule.

Neosergeolide and isobrucein B were isolated in 0.0083 and 0.0070 % yield from dry, ground P. sprucei stems (0.89 kg). Neosergeolide, isobrucein B and the anthelmintic drug standard levamisole all caused comparable mortality rates (68-77 %) in vitro to H. contortus at similar concentrations (81-86 ppm). The anthelmintic activity of P. sprucei infusions (teas), alcohol extracts, and neosergeolide and isobrucein B, has therefore been demonstrated for the first time.
