Correo electrónico: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the Amazon basin it is distributed the greatest diversity of freshwater fish in the world, but presents less than half of the species described and/or with little knowledge about its biology and distribution. This work presents the composition of the ichthyofauna Igarapé Praquiquara, located in the municipality of Castanhal, belonging to the Northeast Atlantic Hydrographic Region, Brazil, through collections were conducted in the years 2014 and 2015. A total number of 1,073 fish were sampled, belonging to five orders, 16 families, 35 genusBryconops and 42 giacopinnispecies. CharaciformesCyphocharax and gouldingi PerciformesAstyanax were the Geophagusmost predominant proximus orders, and SatanopercaCichlidae and jurupari Characidae were the most abundant families, and , , sp., the most abundant species. Igarapé Praquiquara is composed of species with moderate commercial interest for commercial aquariums, with the presence of species cultivated in other regions. A structural analysis of the igarapé fish community is recommended in order to identify which factors are responsible for the composition of the ichthyofauna present, as well as the influence of the dam on the dispersion, distribution and reproduction of species.

Two species in this group—the European starling Sturnus vulgaris and the common Myna Acridotheres tristis—now occur on continents and islands around the world following human-mediated introductions, and the entire clade is generally notable for being highly social and dispersive, as most of its species breed colonially or move in large flocks as they track ephemeral insect or plant resources, and for associating with humans in urban or agricultural land- scapes. Our reconstructions were based on substantial mtDNA (4 kb) and nuclear intron (4 loci, 3 kb total) sequences from 16 species, augmented by mtDNA NDII gene sequences (1 kb) for the remaining 10 taxa for which DNAs were available only from museum skin samples.

To support the program, a study of biota living in it, as one of the Published 31 December 2018 benchmarks of good or bad environmental conditions, is needed. The green space of Jatinangor Campus is divided into two clusters namely Cluster I green space Keywords (Campus Forest) and green space Cluster II (Campus Non Forest). The objective of birds; composition the research was to know the relationship between diversity of birds with diversity of plants; UNPAD of plants in the green space of Cluster I (Campus Forest) and Cluster II (Campus Non Forest) UNPAD Campus Jatinangor as one of the parameters of successful development of green Campus. This research is descriptive-explorative with census method on bird species and plant composition from green spaces of Cluster I (Cam- pus Forest) and Cluste II (Campus Non Forest) Campus UNPAD Jatinangor. From the observations in Cluster I, we identified 46 species of birds and 77 species of plants, whereas in Cluster II, we identified 32 species of birds and 74 types of plants.

    BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY 3 9999 06317 694 3 birds imported /W into the united states in 1970 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE BUREAU OF SPORT FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE Special Scientific Report—Wildlife No. 164 DEPOSITORY UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ROGERS C. B. MORTON, SECRETARY Nathaniel P. Reed, Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Fish and Wildlife Service Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Spencer H. Smith, Director BIRDS IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES IN 1970 By Roger B. Clapp and Richard C. Banks Bird and Mammal Laboratories Division of Wildlife Research Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Special Scientific Report —Wildlife No. 164 Washington, D.C. February 1973 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402-Price $1.25 domestic postpaid, or $1 GPO Bookstore Stock Number 2410-00345 ABSTRACT Birds imported into the United States in 1970 are tabulated by species and the numbers are compared to those for 1968 and 1969. The accuracy of this report is believed to be substantially greater than for the previous years. The number of birds imported in 1970 increased by about 45 percent over 1969, but much of that increase results from more extensive declarations of domestic canaries. Importation of birds other than canaries increased by about 11 percent, with more than half of that increase accounted for by psittacine birds. More than 937,000 individuals of 745 species were imported in 1970. This report tallies imported birds by the country of origin. Eleven nations account for over 95 percent of all birds imported.
