O Programa representa desde a sua implantação, ainda na década de 1990, o compromisso da Instituição de propiciar a formação diferenciada, direcionada para desenvolver a criatividade e o pensamento crítico, garantindo que os alunos de graduação tenham a oportunidade de produzir pesquisas, desenvolvendo habilidades na utilização de técnicas, métodos e práticas pedagógicas em pesquisa. Atualmente, o Programa atua em parceria com a principal agência de Fomento do Governo Federal, que é o Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). Anualmente, cumprindo com as orientações do CNPq, a Ufac promove o Seminário de Iniciação Científica e Tecnológica. Em 2016, foi promovido, concomitantemente ao XXV Seminário de Iniciação Científica, o II Congresso Regional de Pesquisa do Estado do Acre, através de parcerias com a Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Acre (Fapac), Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa/Acre), Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas (Sebrae/Acre) e instituições de ensino superior – Faculdade Meta (Fameta) e Faculdade Sustentável de Cruzeiro do Sul (Ieval). O XXV Seminário de Iniciação Científica da Ufac buscou o intercâmbio das atividades de pesquisa desenvolvidas na modalidade de iniciação científica nas diversas áreas de conhecimento. O evento foi aberto a toda a comunidade científica e tem foco específico na produção dos estudantes de graduação (bolsistas e voluntários) e seus orientadores, oportunizando discutir temas relevantes para a inovação do conhecimento com vistas a contribuir com o desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade regional. Com a realização do II Congresso Regional de Pesquisa do Estado do Acre os alunos de ensino médio, ensino profissionalizante, graduação e pós-graduação das diversas instituições de ensino puderam apresentar o resultado de suas pesquisas. Assim, os eventos de iniciação científica e tecnológica vêm se configurando na Ufac como lócus de comunicação científica e difusão do conhecimento, 9 Universidade Federal do Acre II Congresso Regional de Pesquisa do Estado do Acre e XXV Seminário de Iniciação Científica da UFAC Rio Branco, Acre de 03 a 07 de outubro de 2016 e Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre de 18 a 21 de outubro de 2016 que busca a consolidação das atividades de pesquisa, bem como um espaço formativo de estudantes para a pós-graduação stricto sensu, concorrendo para a manutenção e o aprimoramento do nível de produção científica institucional. Nas últimas décadas vem ocorrendo profundas mudanças na Amazônia e, em seu bojo, novos atores têm tido papel decisivo no seu desenvolvimento: a sociedade civil organizada, os governos estaduais, a cooperação técnica com os grandes centros e o desenvolvimento de pesquisas pelas instituições de ensino. Entretanto a região, e de forma específica o Acre, demandam por uma política de consolidação do desenvolvimento alicerçada no princípio da sustentabilidade a partir da inovação científica. Somado ao exposto, dentre as finalidades do Ensino Superior, destaca-se a responsabilidade de incentivar o trabalho de pesquisa e investigação científica, visando a inovação por meio do desenvolvimento da ciência e da tecnologia.

(Diplogastroidea: Cylindrocorporidae) is described from reproductive stages removed from galleries of the ambrosia beetle, Euplatypus parallelus (F.) (Curculionidae: Platypodinae) in Para rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) in Brazil. This is the first record of the genusProtocylindrocorpus from the Neotropics. Males of P. brasiliensis are quite striking because their long spicules extend up to 72% of their total body length. The adults exhibit “conspecific agglutination” where they congregate in a slimy substance that serves to maintain them in a coherent group for mating. Some of the adults were infected by fungal and protozoan pathogens, implying that disease plays a role in regulating natural populations. The discovery of P. brasiliensis provides new information on nematode structure, behavior, and ecology.

  • Report of a Pest Risk Analysis for Platypus Parallelus (Fabricus, 1801) for Turkey
    Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin (2015) 45 (1), 112–118 ISSN 0250-8052. DOI: 10.1111/epp.12190 Report of a pest risk analysis for Platypus parallelus (Fabricus, 1801) for Turkey E. M.Gum€ us€ß and A. Ergun€ Izmir_ Agricultural Quarantine Directorate, PO 35230, Konak, Izmir,_ Turkey; e-mail: [email protected] Invasive bark and ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) are increasingly responsible for damage to forests, plantations and orchards worldwide. They are usually closely associated with fungi, which may be pathogenic causing tree mortal- ity. Stressed or weakened trees are particularly subject to attack, as is recently felled, non-treated wood. This PRA report concerns the ambrosia beetle Platypus parallelus (Euplatypus parallelus, Fabricus, 1801) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), which was detected in official controls. The PRA area is Turkey. P. parallelus is not on the A1 or A2 list for Turkey but the Regulation on Plant Quarantine (3 December 2011-OJ no: 28131) Article 13 (5) indicates that pests which are assessed to pose a risk for Turkey following PRA that are not present in the above lists and plants, wood, plant products and other mate- rials contaminated by these organisms are banned from entry into Turkey. This risk assessment follows the EPPO Standard PM 5/3(5) Decision-support scheme for quarantine pests and uses the terminology defined in ISPM 5 Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms. This paper addresses the possible risk factors caused by Platypus parallelus (Euplatypus parallelus, Fabricus, 1801) in Turkey. Terms (available at https://www.ippc.int/index.php).

    Occurrence of Euplatypus parallelus, Euplatytus sp. ... 387 OCCURRENCE OF Euplatypus parallelus, Euplatypus sp. (COL.: EUPLATYPODIDAE) AND Xyleborus affinis (COL.: SCOLYTIDAE) IN Pinus sp. IN RIBAS DO RIO PARDO, MATO GROSSO DO SUL, BRAZIL1 José Cola Zanuncio2, Marcos Franklin Sossai2, Laércio Couto3 and Rosenilson Pinto2 ABSTRACT - Wood borer species of the families Euplatypodidae and Scolytidae were observed attacking trees of Pinus sp. in the Municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in March 2000. This plantation had been previously burned in an accidental fire in January 2000, causing the trees to become partially or totally unhealthy, rendering them more susceptible to attack of these pests. Galleries of these wood borers were opened with a chisel to observe parameters such as their direction and form of these galleries. Species observed as wood borers of Pinus sp. were Euplatypus parallelus, Euplatypus sp. (Coleoptera: Euplatypodidae) and Xyleborus affinis (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). Key words: Forest pest, ambrosia beetles, woodborers. OCORRÊNCIA DE Euplatypus parallelus, Euplatypus sp. (COL.: EUPLATYPODIDAE) E Xyleborus affinis (COL.: SCOLYTIDAE) EM Pinus sp.

One really needs a driving passion for the species that one is working on, otherwise, the cons outweigh the benefits of such elaborate work. If it were not for Shannon Smith I would never have gotten to know this fascinating group of insects exists. Not only this, you’ve been a fantastic supervisor. Thank you for your patience, for putting up with me constantly bursting into your office with countless questions, and showing me the ropes of molecular research. I look forward to continuing research with you on these enigmatic little beasties. And to Markus Riegler, thank you for your guidance, support, and tireless-ness. Your supervision and insights made this project what it is. Not only this, but your determination, energy, and belief in this project really helped give me the drive to continue on, especially through the rocky patches throughout the molecular lab work. Your advice you gave me during our meetings were amazingly helpful, and it was always entertaining when our meetings turned to discussions on global events and politics. I would like to also thank Jennifer Morrow; without your wisdom the molecular work in this project would not have happened. Your advice and help was greatly appreciated.
