The South Espírito Santo river basins include the Rio Itapemirim basin, the small river basins in Marataízes and a portion of the Rio Itabapoana basin, in Southeast Brazil. Nighty-two geo-referenced sites were sampled: 23 in Itabapoana, 66 in Itapemirim and three in Marataízes. A species list has been prepared, giving habitat details. Seventy-nine species, in 31 families and 11 orders were, reported, 17 species being from marine or brackish-water/estuarine habitats. The great majority of freshwater species belong to the Siluriformes (29 species), followed by the Characiformes (19). Torrential rivers, protected by the Caparaó mountains, display the lowest richness, with only a few species recorded from the highest valleys. On the other hand, in lowland river valleys along the Serra das Torres, an exceptional diversity of stream fishes was observed. Because of the only known population of Trichogenes claviger, a relictual species of Trichomycteridae, in the river Caxixe, this area is highly strategic in planning conservation of the Icthyofauna of the Itapemirim basin. Some species from southern Espírito Santo were described based on material collected on the historic Thayer Expedition, which crossed the region in 1865. Likewise, Oligosarcus acutirostris, Astyanax microschemos and Trichogenes claviger were also described based on fishes from southern Espírito Santo. A high endemism of freshwater species was observed between southern Espírito Santo rivers and lower Paraíba do Sul, suggesting a common history among these rivers.

The hydrographic basins of northern Espírito Santo comprises the systems of Itaúnas and São Mateus rivers. The present work is part of a series of studies on the fish fauna along Espírito Santo’s river basins. Forty-nine geo-referred points in rivers and rivulets of the area were evaluated, 20 in the Itaúnas basin and 28 in São Mateus basin. The environment and the taxonomic composition of the fish fauna were documented at every point, reporting a total of 83 species, including 47 freshwater species and 36 marine, belonging to 35 families and 11 orders. Among the freshwater fish species, the Siluriformes predominated, with 20 species, followed by the Characiformes, with 17 species. The Atlantic forest of northern Espírito Santo, known as “floresta de tabuleiros”, was originally composed of ombrophylous forest as well as swamps, coastal sand dunes, and mangroves. With the suppression of native forests, the region has suffered from desertification, and environmental conditions are similar to the northeastern semiarid region, where the run-off waters are dispersed or intermittent. The loss of environmental quality along river valleys is associated with the need to reestablish riverine aquatic conditions. Exotic species and risks of introductions need further studies in these areas. Rare or endangered species whose distributional range has diminished in response to environmental changes may function as biological indicators. Potentially new species are identified, and regional endemism and distribution patterns for freshwater fishes are discussed.

This research aimed to catalog insects that cause injury to the yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius, família Asteraceae) crop, in order to identify those who may cause damage. The study was carried out in Alegre, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. Cultivation began in May 2013 and the harvest was done 180 days later. Three species from the Coleoptera order: Lagria villosa (Coleoptera: Lagriidae); Cerotoma arcuata and Diabrotica speciosa (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and two species from the Lepidoptera order: Spodoptera eridania (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Chlosyne lacinia saundersii (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) were observed causing damage to the yacon crop. The caterpillar C. lacinia saundersii, known as sunflower caterpillar, was the most important species, being observed throughout the yacon cycle.

The Brazilian tapaculo Scytalopus speluncae species-group has been the subject of intense taxonomic work in the past 18 years, with six new species being named in that time lapse and other taxonomic problems having been highlighted (Bornschein et al. 1998, 2007; Maurício 2005; Raposo et al. 2006, 2012; Mata et al. 2009; Whitney et al. 2010; Maurício et al. 2010, 2014; Pulido-Santacruz et al. 2016). One of the most persistent of these problems involves the oldest name in this group, S. speluncae (Ménétriès), and the taxa it may represent. Historically, this name has been applied to the dark gray populations (whose adult males have plain gray flanks) occurring along coastal mountains between Espírito Santo and São Paulo states in Brazil (Raposo et al. 2006; Maurício et al. 2010). Subsequently, dark gray populations from the Brazilian states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, as well as paler gray birds with black-barred brown flanks from northeastern Argentina (Misiones Province) and adjacent southern Brazilian states were also subsumed under S. speluncae (Bornschein et al. 1998; Maurício 2005; Maurício et al. 2010). However, the paler gray, barred populations from Argentina and some parts of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul have proved to be a distinct and partially sympatric species named S. pachecoi Maurício, which was shown to be not closely related to S. speluncae, but rather pertains to the very divergent clade of S. novacapitalis Sick and related forms (Maurício 2005; Mata et al. 2009). On the other hand, the dark-gray populations coming from Espírito Santo south to Rio Grande do Sul continued to be identified as S. speluncae.

The hydrographic basin of southeastern Espírito Santo comprises the systems of Rio Novo, Rio Benevente and small river basins of the Guarapari. The present study is part of a series of studies on the fish fauna of river basins in Espírito Santo State. Fourty-five geo-referrerenced points in rivers and rivulets of the region were evaluated, 13 in the Rio Novo basin, 23 in the Rio Benevente basin and nine in small river basins in the municipalities of Anchieta, Guarapari, and Vila Velha. The environment and fish fauna were documented at every point, reporting a total of 110 species (54 marine), belonging to 46 families and 17 orders, most of which are Perciformes (42 species). With the exception of marine species, most of the fishes belong to the orders Characiformes and Siluriformes, with 16 species each. The Atlantic forest along the rivers of southeastern Espírito Santo region is composed of ombrophylous forest, pluvial submontane forest and pioneer formations (swamps, coastal sand dunes, and mangroves). The wetlands and coastal lake environments in the area are submitted to intense disturbances, and in this sense, the conservation units are extremely important for their preservation. The regional endemism of freshwater fishes is commented on, as well as the presence of potentially new species in the study area.

The current total number of species found in Brazil is 270, distributed in 19 families and 92 genera, an increase of 71 species and 12 genera in the last 6 years. The greatest known diversity is found in Rio de Janeiro (132 species), Amazonas (56), Espírito Santo (30) and São Paulo (28), while there are no record to seven Brazilian states (Acre, Alagoas, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Rio Grande do Norte, Roraima and Tocantins). Distribution of the records clearly defines the areas that urge investments in scientific research and taxonomic survey and reflects the concentration of information in those centers that host the few specialists in Collembola, currently working in Brazil.

The occurrence of the species of the genus Brycon (Characiformes: Bryconidae) in Espírito Santo State is herein reviewed. Brycon opalinus, a species formerly known only from the upper rio Paraíba do Sul and upper rio Doce basins, is recorded for the first time in the rio Itapemirim, an independent coastal basin in southern Espírito Santo State, Brazil. With the records of B. opalinus, four Brycon species are now known from Espírito Santo State: B. insignis in the rio Itabapoana basin, on the boundary between Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo, B. opalinus in the rio Itapemirim basin, B. dulcis in the rio Doce basin, and B. ferox in the rio Barra Seca, rio Itaúnas and the rio São Mateus basins. Additionally worth highlighting is that several fisherman and local inhabitants report the occurrence Brycon vermelha in the rio Cotaxé, a tributary of the rio São Mateus in Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states, although there are no preserved specimens of B. vermelha from river basins other than the rio Mucuri, in Minas Gerais state.

Abstract—A new species of Dalechampia from southeastern Brazil, belonging to Dalechampia sect. Dioscoreifoliae, is described and illustrated here. Dalechampia margarethiae is a twining vine occurring exclusively in Espírito Santo state. Its pseudanthia are similar to those of D. peckoltiana and D. pentaphylla, but D. margarethiae differs in a set of important characters, including having cylindrical, down-curved style tips, staminate flowers at anthesis having unreflexed sepals with stamens born on unelongated columns, whitish floral resin, and simple, entire, cordate leaves.

A capacidade de o narrador estabelecer relações com outros sujeitos ao mesmo tempo em que busca, recupera e produz informações, conduz ao aperfeiçoamento do aprendizado de como acessar, avaliar e usar informações específicas de sua área de atuação. Com isso, procede-se a apresentação do objetivo de uma pesquisa que procura identificar as competências em informação que os contadores de histórias contemporâneos possuem e aquelas que são necessárias para uma conexão em redes colaborativas, potencializadas ou não pelas tecnologias de informação e comunicação. Todavia, acredita-se que o domínio das redes digitais se apresenta como um desafio para os atores culturais que durante décadas dominam os mecanismos da comunicação interpessoal. Desenvolvida no âmbito do Doutorado Interinstitucional em Ciência da Informação da Universidade de Brasília e Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, a pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa utiliza indicadores de perfil e contexto agrupados em um questionário com a finalidade de identificar competências em informação dos narradores do Distrito Federal. A necessidade de sustentar a atividade dos contadores de histórias perpassa as redes desenhadas na contemporaneidade, o que vai de encontro com uma atuação isolada que não possibilita o compartilhamento das experiências que comumente por eles são vividas. Assim sendo, esses narradores devem adquirir habilidades que os conduzam a produção de conteúdos necessários para acessar e produzir informação na sociedade em que vivem. Também necessitam de uma mudança de foco, de entendimento e de aceitação de outras perspectivas de aprendizado perante o acesso de redes de colaboração digitais e presenciais, para, assim, fazer fluir uma conexão interativa que permita o compartilhamento de informações na sociedade da informação.
