Esses animais variam seu comportamento de acordo com o meio, indicando a qualidade em que o mesmo se encontra. Dessa forma é possível inferir que os lepidópteros atuam como bioindicadores fornecendo subsídios para a interpretação do ecossistema. Objetivo: Realizar olevantamento das espécies de lepidópteros presentes na área estudantil do Centro Universitário do Cerrado – UNICERP. Material e Métodos:As coletas foram realizadas mensalmente no município de Patrocínio entre Julho de 2013 à Junho de 2014. O período de amostragem visou do início ao final do período ativo dos espécimes observados, 08h00min às 18h00min, com relação às armadilhas compreende um período de 30 horas campo dia/noite. A triagem dos exemplares ocorreu na sequência da coleta, onde os indivíduos foram contados, fotografados, identificados e posteriormente soltos. Resultados: Em doze meses de trabalho, foram amostrados 3.645 indivíduos, distribuídas em 81 espécies, compreendidas em duas divisões: Rhopalocera (93%) e Heterocera (7%) e 15 famílias: Nymphalidae (34,81%); Pieridae (19,89%); Lycaenidae (13,96%); Hesperiidae (4,64%); Geometridae (0,77%); Riodinidae (0,74%) Crambidae (0,74%); Arctiidae (0,66%); Papilionidae (0,44%); Noctuidae (0,36%); Sphingidae (0,27%); Notodontidae (0,16%) e Cossidae, Megalopygidae e Saturiniidae (0,05%). Conclusão: De acordo com este estudo inédito, é possível concluir que o campus do UNICERP, apesar de ser uma área de constantes atividades antrópicas, apresenta uma lepidopterofauna significativa.

These animals change their behavior according to the environment, indicating the quality in which it is. Thus, it is possible to infer which lepidopterans act as bioindicators that provide subsidies for the interpretation of the ecosystem. Objective: To carry out a survey of the species of lepidopterans present in the student area of the Centro Universitário de Cerrado - UNICERP. Material and Methods: As the collections were carried out monthly in the municipality of Patrocínio between July 2013 and June 2014. The sampling period aimed at the beginning and the end of the active period of observed examples, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, in relation to the traps used during a 30-hour field day / night. A screening of examples occurred in the sequence of the collection, where the individuals were contained, photographed, reproduced and later released. Results: In twelve months of work, 3,645 were sampled, distributed in 81 species, included in two divisions: Rhopalocera (93%) and Heterocera (7%) and 15 families: Nymphalidae (34.81%); Pieridae (19.89%); Lycaenidae (13.96%); Hesperiidae (4.64%); Geometridae (0.77%); Riodinidae (0.74%) Crambidae (0.74%); Arctiidae (0.66%); Papilionidae (0.44%); Noctuidae (0.36%); Sphingidae (0.27%); Notodontidae (0.16%) and Cossidae, Megalopygidae and Saturiniidae (0.05%). Conclusion: According to this study, it is possible to conclude the UNICERP campus, despite being an area of anthropic activities, it presents a significant lepidopteran deuna. Keywords: Fauna survey. Lepidoptera. INTRODUÇÃO De acordo com Heppner (1991), as borboletas pertencentes à ordem lepidóptera, compreendem aproximadamente 150.000 espécies conhecidas, sendo que a maior parte deste grupo possui hábitos noturnos (mariposas) e apenas uma minoria apresentando hábitos diurnos (borboletas) com um grupo de aproximadamente 19.000 espécies. No Brasil estima-se que ocorra cerca de 40.000 espécies de lepidópteros, das quais 3.300 espécies de borboletas (BROWN, 1997). Borboletas e mariposas desempenharam um papel de estrema importância no desenvolvimento das grandes ciências em todo o mundo e principalmente nas mais variadas áreas do conhecimento da biologia evolutiva, comportamento animal, teoria ecológica e conservacionista, bioquímica, farmacologia e até mesmo como fonte de inspiração para os mais diversos olhares do mundo como arte, arquitetura, música e literatura (HEIMBUCH, 2009).Os lepidópteros proporcionam grande diversidade devido a suas cores, formas, tamanhos e interações ecológicas,mas nunca devem ser generalizadas em relação a sua biologia, tal como alimentação e seu comportamento de jovens ou adultos (RAY; ANDREWS, 1980; OTERO, 1986; DEVRIES, 1987; FREITAS et al., 2003; 2006). Além de tambémvariarem seu comportamento de acordo com as condições estabelecidas pelo meio, variações nos número de REVISTA EDUCAÇÃO, SAÚDE & MEIO AMBIENTE Vol. 2, Ano 3, nº 6, 2019 22 sua população apontam a qualidade ambiental favorável ou desfavorável a uma determinada espécie ou grupo (FREITAS, 2007). Os estudos relacionados à fauna são de fundamental importância para o conhecimento da mesma estuda, contudo, torna-se impossível inventariar todas as espécies existente em um local devido ao custo, tempo e dedicação, assim faz-se necessário, selecionar o que deseja estudar em um determinado grupo ou em uma determinada área, levando-se em consideração sua relevância, seja como bioindicadores ou ainda como identificação das espécies na área(CASAGRANDE et al., 1998).. Dessa forma, todo dado gerado poderá ser utilizado como fonte de informação para futuros trabalhos ou até mesmo para a elaboração de inventários faunísticos de áreas especificas (OVERAL; MASCARENHAS, 1993; OVERAL, 2001; SANTOS, 2004). Os invertebrados, particularmente os lepidópteros, são considerados dentre os melhores grupos de bioindicadores (BROWN, 1991, 1997; FREITAS et al., 2003, 2006; BONEBRAKE et al., 2010). Além de fornecerem dados com baixo custo e em períodos de tempo mais curtos que outros (BARLOW et al., 2007; GARDNER et al., 2007), uma grande parte dos grupos de lepidópteros apresentam grande sensibilidade e rapidez de resposta as menores mudanças na qualidade do ambiente em que se encontram (BROWN, 1991), sendo assim bastante utilizados no monitoramento das mudanças em níveis tróficos. Bioindicadores podem ser descritos como espécies ou populações com a capacidade biótica ou abiótica, com comportamento ou não de dispersão e sucesso de reprodução. Capazes de detectarem impactos prejudiciais sobre um determinado ecossistema ou habitat de uma região, mensurando índices significativos em relação à qualidade vital fornecida do mesmo (LANDRES et al., 1988; HILTY; MERENLENDER, 2000). Estima-se, que mais de 80% do cerrado brasileiro já foi de alguma forma explorado pelo homem, e este processo continua a avançar de forma devastadora. Nesse perfil, a região do Alto Paranaíba sai na frente quando se trata de impactos antrópicos provocados no Cerrado (MYERS et al., 2000; MANTOVAINI; PEREIRA, 1998). Sabe-se que existem poucos estudos sobre a fauna de lepidópteros em Minas Gerais, os registros mais completos sobre os mesmos são encontrados nas listas publicadas por Hambleton e Forbes (1935), Brown e Mielke (1967; 1968), Zikán e Zikán (1968), Ebert (1969) e Brown (1972).De acordo com Santos et al., (2008), mesmo com todo o conhecimento sobre a diversidade, composição e riqueza dos lepidópteros em todos os biomas brasileiros ainda existem grandes lacunas a serem preenchidas sobre o comportamento desses animais, mesmo em relação à Mata Atlântica, consideradaa mais inventariada, muito ainda esta para ser REVISTA EDUCAÇÃO, SAÚDE & MEIO AMBIENTE Vol. 2, Ano 3, nº 6, 2019 23 compreendido por essa ciência tão inóspita. Segundo Santos (2004), o conhecimento sobre organismos que ocorrem em um determinado ambiente, é a principal chave para o desenvolvimento de qualquer projeto de conservação.O Cerrado possui uma das maiores diversidades do planeta e esta presente em 25% do território brasileiro (BARRETO, 2007), possuindo características típicas não encontradas em mais nenhum dos biomas do mundo, apresentando diversas categorias de fitofisionomias cada uma com características peculiares de cada área, abrigando então, uma rica biodiversidade de plantas e animais endêmicos para cada uma delas (WALTER, 2006). Dentre os biomas brasileiros o Cerrado é um dos mais ameaçados, suas perdas superam o da grande Floresta Amazônica, sua destruição ocorreu silenciosa e quase se passou despercebida durante tanto tempo. O Cerrado necessita de proteção urgente; pois mais de 80% de sua vegetação nativa foi perdida para a agricultura, se este ritmo for mantido em menos de 20 anos esse bioma poderá desaparecer quase que por completo, restando

  • Biological Control of Lantana, Prickly Pear, and Hamakua Pamakani Inhawah: a Review and Update
    BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF LANTANA, PRICKLY PEAR, AND HAMAKUA PAMAKANI INHAWAH: A REVIEW AND UPDATE Clifton J. Davis, Ernest Yoshioka, and Dina Kageler ABSTRACT The biological control of noxious weeds in Hawai`i has been carried on intermittently since 1902, when insects and diseases of lantana (Lantana camara) were sought in Mexico by the Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry (now Hawai`i Department of Agriculture). This approach was subsequently employed for the control of 20 other noxious weed pests between the 1940s and 1970s. Lantana was the first weed to be controlled by this method in the U.S. Results were very dramatic in some areas of the State, especially after later introductions by Hawai`ian and Australian entomologists resulted in heavy stress on lantana. In addition to lantana, excellent results have been obtained in the biological control of cacti (Opuntia spp.), and Hamakua pamakani (Ageratina riparia). Prior to the introduction of cactus insects in 1949, 66,000 a (26,400 ha) of Parker Ranch range lands on Hawai`i Island were infested with cacti. By 1965, 7,610 a (< 3,080 ha) remained infested, the result of three introduced insects and an accidentally introduced fungus disease; the red-fruited variety of cactus is particularly susceptible to the fungus. A spineless variety of the cactus occurs in the 'Ainahou-Poliokeawe Pali sector of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park, and biocontrol efforts are in progress. With the introduction of insects from Mexico and a foliar fungus disease from Jamaica, Hamakua pamakani is under excellent control on many ranch as well as privately owned and government lands on Hawai`i Island.

  • Protection of Pandora Moth (Coloradia Pandora Blake) Eggs from Consumption by Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus Lateralis Say)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Elizabeth Ann Gerson for the degree of Master of Science in Forest Science presented on 10 January, 1995. Title: Protection of Pandora Moth (Coloradia pandora Blake) Eggs From Consumption by Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis Say) Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy William C. McComb Endemic populations of pandora moths (Coloradia pandora Blake), a defoliator of western pine forests, proliferated to epidemic levels in central Oregon in 1986 and increased dramatically through 1994. Golden-mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis Say) consume adult pandora moths, but reject nutritionally valuable eggs from gravid females. Feeding trials with captive S. lateralis were conducted to identify the mode of egg protection. Chemical constituents of fertilized eggs were separated through a polarity gradient of solvent extractions. Consumption of the resulting hexane, dichloromethane, and water egg fractions, and the extracted egg tissue residue, was evaluated by randomized 2-choice feeding tests. Consumption of four physically distinct egg fractions (whole eggs, "whole" egg shells, ground egg shells, and egg contents) also was evaluated. These bioassays indicated that C. pandora eggs are not protected chemically, however, the egg shell does inhibit S. lateralis consumption. Egg protection is one mechanism that enables C. pandora to persist within the forest food web. Spermophilus lateralis, a common and often abundant rodent of central Oregon pine forests, is a natural enemy of C. pandora

  • Biological Control Investigations on Lantana
    134 Proceedings, Hawaiian Entomological Society Biological Control Investigations on Lantana N. L. H. Krauss STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HONOLULU, HAWAII (Submitted for publication December, 1961) Lantana {Lantana camara aculeata) is a tropical American shrub of the family Verbenaceae which has become a very serious pest of rangeland and other agricultural land in Hawaii, Fiji, Australia, Africa, and many other tropical regions. The science of biological control of weeds was begun by Albert Koebele, Government Entomologist of Hawaii, who in 1902 introduced more than 20 species of insects into Hawaii from Mexico against Lantana. Eight of these species were established in the islands and a fair degree of control of the plant was obtained in some areas, especially in the drier regions. In 1952 the author began work on this problem in Cuba, and since that year has carried on investi gations from time to time in various parts of tropical and subtropical America from California, Texas, and Florida to Argentina, and in other regions. Some of the insects found are briefly discussed in this paper. Selected insects were dispatched to Hawaii by air and the work of propagation, testing of food habits in a quarantine insectary, and liberation of approved species was carried on there by Q. C. Chock, C. J. Davis, P. W. Weber, H. K. Nakao, Mabel Chong, and other entomologists of the State Department of Agriculture (formerly Board of Agriculture and Forestry). A great deal of useful assistance was given me by entomologists in the countries visited. Most of the identifications of insects was done by specialists of the Entomology Research Division, U.S.

Because many species cannot be named (early instars or poorly studied groups), it is not a given that this key has all the most frequently intercepted taxa. Some genera may regularly intercepted but unrecognized. The huge variety of early instar Noctuidae/Erebidae is a good example of this problem. There are many other taxa in this category. Trade patterns are constantly changing over time, users should expect a need to delete or add species to this key in the future. Good comprehensive larval keys exist (Carter and Kristensen 1998, Stehr 1987) but as a rule they are too long and complicated for the volume of material we get in APHIS. Also, they rarely go past family. This key is a compromise between the need to for precision and speed. Thus, a good collection and detailed understanding of larval morphology is assumed and required. All of the references cited in the LepIntercept fact sheets need to be part of any port library. This document serves as a blanket recommendation for their purchase or copying costs from the APHIS Lepidoptera specialist to any port needing a justification. This key assumes eventual full access to the appropriate literature. Getting this information needs to be a priority for ports frequently intercepting larval Lepidoptera. Many of the copyrighted books are never going to be "on-line" and go out of print relatively fast.
