Historical Biogeography of Cynolebiasine Annual Killifishes
Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2010) 37, 1995–2004 ORIGINAL Historical biogeography of cynolebiasine ARTICLE annual killifishes inferred from dispersal–vicariance analysis Wilson J. E. M. Costa* Laborato´rio de Sistema´tica e Evoluc¸a˜ode ABSTRACT Peixes Teleo´steos, Departamento de Zoologia, Aim To analyse the biogeographical events responsible for the present Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Caixa Postal 68049, CEP 21944-970, Rio de Janeiro, distribution of cynolebiasine killifishes (Teleostei: Rivulidae: Cynolebiasini), RJ, Brazil a diversified and widespread Neotropical group of annual fishes threatened with extinction. Location South America, focusing on the main river basins draining the Brazilian Shield and adjacent zones. Methods Phylogenetic analysis of 214 morphological characters of 102 cynolebiasine species using tnt, in conjunction with dispersal–vicariance analysis (diva) based on the distribution of cynolebiasine species among 16 areas of endemism. Results The basal cynolebiasine node is hypothesized to be derived from an old vicariance event occurring just after the separation of South America from Africa, when the terrains at the passive margin of the South American plate were isolated from the remaining interior areas. This would have been followed by geodispersal events caused by river-capturing episodes from the adjacent upland river basins to the coastal region. Optimal ancestral reconstructions suggest that the diversification of the tribe Cynolebiasini in north-eastern South America was first caused by vicariance events in the Parana˜–Urucuia–Sa˜o Francisco area, followed by dispersal from the Sa˜o Francisco to the Northeastern Brazil area. The latter dispersal event occurred simultaneously in two different cynolebiasine clades, possibly as a result of a temporary connection of the Sa˜o Francisco area before the uplift of the Borborema Plateau during the Miocene. -

RESUMO: Comportamento de forrageio do maçarico-de-bico-virado Limosa haemastica (Aves, Scolopacidae) em ocasiões com perturbação e sem perturbação humana na costa Atlântica do Brasil. O maçarico-de-bico-virado, Limosa haemastica é considerado uma das aves pernaltas mais pouco estudadas que se reproduzem na América do Norte. Durante a migração, esta espécie utiliza poucas escalas até alcançar áreas de invernada no sul da América do Sul. Desta forma, estudos biológicos no decorrer de sua rota de migração são escassos. O foco deste artigo foi analisar o comportamento de forrageio de três indivíduos migrantes do maçarico-de-bico-virado que fizeram escala em áreas de entre-marés da costa sul do estado de São Paulo. Eu utilizei uma câmera digital para filmar e quantificar precisamente as técnicas de forrageio, o tempo de forrageio em hábitats e as distâncias percorridas pelas aves. -
Chespirito" Surge De La Imaginación Del Director De Cine Sr
El pasado 28 de noviembre de 2014 diferentes agencias de noticias de Latinoamérica y el mundo daban la noticia del fallecimiento del Sr. Roberto Gómez Bolaños a la edad de 85 años. La novedad llegaba a los oídos de millones de personas en todo el mundo causando un profundo dolor y tristeza. Actor, comediante, dramaturgo, escritor, guionista, compositor, director y productor de televisión, Gómez Bolaños fue muy bueno en todo lo que hizo. Su carrera fue iniciada como creador de publicidad en la década de los años cincuenta y fue esto que lo motivó a adentrarse en el mundo de la radio y la televisión. Fue un destacado guionista de películas y programas de la televisión mexicana. Su nombre profesional "Chespirito" surge de la imaginación del director de cine Sr. Agustín P. Delgado quien lo asemejaba con Shakespeare al escribir sus historias, además de la utilización de nombre de personajes con el sonido "Ch" y también su estatura, de ahí el diminutivo. A finales de la década de los sesenta la televisión Independiente de México le da la oportunidad de crear su propio programa, pues dos años antes había comenzado a escribir el guión de los programas de mayor audiencia de la televisora. Esta oportunidad hizo posible el comienzo de su carrera como actor. Chapulín Colorado y El Chavo fueron los dos personajes que marcaron su vida. En declaraciones a la prensa, Chespirito contaba haber conocido un limpiabotas al que después de haberle dado buena propina, salió corriendo a comprar una torta y en su prisa dejo un cuaderno desgastado que contenía en esencia lo que era su diario, éste fue el texto que dio inspiración a la creación de la serie televisiva más popular de todo México "El Chavo del 8". -
Structure of Tropical River Food Webs Revealed by Stable Isotope Ratios
OIKOS 96: 46–55, 2002 Structure of tropical river food webs revealed by stable isotope ratios David B. Jepsen and Kirk O. Winemiller Jepsen, D. B. and Winemiller, K. O. 2002. Structure of tropical river food webs revealed by stable isotope ratios. – Oikos 96: 46–55. Fish assemblages in tropical river food webs are characterized by high taxonomic diversity, diverse foraging modes, omnivory, and an abundance of detritivores. Feeding links are complex and modified by hydrologic seasonality and system productivity. These properties make it difficult to generalize about feeding relation- ships and to identify dominant linkages of energy flow. We analyzed the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of 276 fishes and other food web components living in four Venezuelan rivers that differed in basal food resources to determine 1) whether fish trophic guilds integrated food resources in a predictable fashion, thereby providing similar trophic resolution as individual species, 2) whether food chain length differed with system productivity, and 3) how omnivory and detritivory influenced trophic structure within these food webs. Fishes were grouped into four trophic guilds (herbivores, detritivores/algivores, omnivores, piscivores) based on literature reports and external morphological characteristics. Results of discriminant function analyses showed that isotope data were effective at reclassifying individual fish into their pre-identified trophic category. Nutrient-poor, black-water rivers showed greater compartmentalization in isotope values than more productive rivers, leading to greater reclassification success. In three out of four food webs, omnivores were more often misclassified than other trophic groups, reflecting the diverse food sources they assimilated. When fish d15N values were used to estimate species position in the trophic hierarchy, top piscivores in nutrient-poor rivers had higher trophic positions than those in more productive rivers. -
Characterization of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Camamu-Almada Basin, Southeast State of Bahia, Brazil Souza, TCM*
Characterization of small-scale fisheries in the Camamu-Almada basin, southeast state of Bahia, Brazil Souza, TCM*. and Petrere-Jr, M.* Departamento de Ecologia, Universidade Estadual Paulista – UNESP, CP 199, CEP 13506-900, Rio Claro, SP, Brazil *e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received August 28, 2006 – Accepted February 22, 2007– Distributed November 30, 2008 (With 3 figures) Abstract In the Camamu-Almada basin, marine fishery is exclusively small-scale, with several structural deficiencies such as boats with low or absent navigational technology, lack of credit and low income. Local fishers complain that shrimp and lobster trawling fishing is the main factor responsible for low stock abundance, but they still persist in these activities as these two species command the highest market prices. So they feel that the target species are already over-fished. We suggest that proper management action, alternative ways of income generation and the payment of job insurance would help to mitigate the problem. Keywords: tropical small-scale marine fisheries, tropical marine fishes, southeast state of Bahia, Brazil. Caracterização das pescarias de pequena-escala na bacia de Camamu-Almada no sudeste da Bahia, Brasil Resumo Na bacia Camamu-Almada, as pescarias marinhas são exclusivamente de pequena-escala, com várias deficiências estruturais: com barcos quase sem nenhuma tecnologia de auxílio à navegação, falta de crédito e baixa lucratividade. Os pescadores locais reclamam que a pesca de arrasto dirigida a camarões e lagosta é a principal responsável pela baixa abundância dos estoques preferenciais, mas como eles ainda têm alto preço no mercado, essa estratégia de pesca ainda persiste. -
Aguasaco, Carlos. ¡No Contaban Con Mi Astucia! México: Parodia Y Sujeto En La Serie De El Chapulín Colorado
Aguasaco, Carlos. ¡No contaban con mi astucia! México: Parodia y sujeto en la serie de El Chapulín Colorado. México D.F.: Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, 2014. Print. 257 pp. ___________________________________________________ JOHN SINCLAIR UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE El Chapulín Colorado (The Red Grasshopper) was a long-running and internationally popular television series from Mexico in the 1970s. The lead character was played by the late Roberto Gómez Bolaños, otherwise known as Chespirito, who also wrote and directed the series. With his world-weary face, home-made costume, and hopeless incompetence, performing on over lit, stagey sets (albeit with occasional special effects), the eponymous anti-hero El Chapulín Colorado (hereafter CH, the logo on the character’s chest) was an extravagantly obvious parody of the super- hero genre, played out in a “Third World” setting. Symptomatic is the catch phrase that gives this book its title, “No contaban con mi astucia” (They didn’t count on my slyness) cried every time he avoids disaster or overcomes his enemies, which is only ever by bumbling luck rather than design. All this would be familiar to the very many Latin Americans, U.S. Latinos, and even Spanish who have seen El Chapulín Colorado on television in their countries over the last few decades. For anyone else, the author provides all the necessary contextual background, and more, including an account of how Gómez Bolaños came to develop the character, though not before he has laid out an elaborate theoretical infrastructure for the subsequent analysis. In what he calls Latin America’s “Jurassic Park of ideologies” (28), Aguasaco takes up an Althusserian approach, as inflected by writers such as Ernesto Laclau, but more markedly, by Juan Carlos Rodríguez, a sometime collaborator of Louis Althusser. -

Esta trajetória, se já foi estudada como parte de uma tradição estadual, ainda carece de uma discussão sobre seu percurso simbólico em ensaios, obras literárias e livros de receitas regionais. Com o objetivo de analisar a “biografia” do virado à paulista sob a perspectiva não das práticas domésticas, mas de narrativas construídas pela intelectualidade, este artigo acompanha a participação da receita na formação de um imaginário identitário para São Paulo, intentando abordar os meandros de eleição dela como um “prato típico” e, enfim, como um patrimônio oficial. Pretende-se, com isso, levantar questões sobre os processos de criação das cozinhas regionais e de suas receitas emblemáticas no Brasil, muitas vezes tomados como naturais e como verdades incontestáveis. Palavras-chave: Cozinha paulista. Patrimônio culinário. História da alimentação. Abstract: One of the few known recipes with the “paulista” complement in its name, the “virado” emerges in reports on colonial expeditions leaded by “bandeirantes” to current considerations, including its recent promotion as a São Paulo’s intangible cultural heritage. -
Taxonomy of the Seasonal Killifish Genus Neofundulus in the Brazilian Pantanal (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae)
65 (1): 15 – 25 © Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, 2015. 4.5.2015 Taxonomy of the seasonal killifish genus Neofundulus in the Brazilian Pantanal (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) Wilson J.E.M. Costa Laboratory of Systematics and Evolution of Teleost Fishes, Institute of Biology, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Caixa Postal 68049, CEP 21944-970, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil; wcosta(at)acd.ufrj.br Accepted 19.ii.2015. Published online at www.senckenberg.de / vertebrate-zoology on 4.v.2014. Abstract On the basis of fish collections made between 1991 and 2014, four species of the seasonal killifish genusNeofundulus are reported to occur in the Brazilian Pantanal, Paraguay river basin: N. parvipinnis, endemic to the Cuiabá and São Lourenço river drainages, in the northern portion of the Pantanal; N. rubrofasciatus, new species, from the Miranda river drainage, N. aureomaculatus, new species, from the Aqui- dauana river drainage, both in the south-eastern portion of the Pantanal; and N. paraguayensis, occurring in the Paraguay and Nabileque river floodplains, in the southern part of the Pantanal. The new species are diagnosed by unique colour patterns, and a combination of morphological characters states indicating that they are more closely related to N. parvipinnis and N. splendidus than to N. paraguayensis. Key words Aplocheiloid killifishes, Biodiversity, Pantanal wetland, Paraguay river, Systematics. Introduction The Brazilian Pantanal, also known as Pantanal de Mato Neofundulus has been known for a few papers in Grosso, is a vast wetland region, about 140,000 km2, the scientific literature. Until 1988, knowledge about comprising a tectonic depression along the left margin Neofundulus was restricted to the original descriptions of the Paraguay river. -

Contributing factors to the public reaction to immigrants in general and Latinos specifically include the sheer size of recent immigration, the increasing prevalence of Latinos in the work force, and the geographic concentration of Latinos in certain areas of the country. Based on a conference held at the Julian Samora Institute(Michigan) in April 1995, this book is organized around two main themes. The first discusses patterns of immigration and describes several immigrant communities in the United States; the second looks in depth at immigration issues, including economic impacts, employment, and provision of education and other services to immigrants.
