A pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia das ações de prevenção e combate aos incêndios florestais nas unidades de conservação do cerrado. Os dados desta pesquisa foram coletados no Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros (GO), Parque Nacional das Emas (GO), Parque Nacional de Brasília (DF), Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães (MT) e Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra (MG). Para coleta de dados foi desenvolvido um questionário e aplicado aos membros das brigadas e coordenadores das atividades na Unidade de Conservação. Foi também avaliada a infra-estrutura em prevenção e combate. Ao todo foram entrevistados 124 funcionários. Verificou-se que nos Parques há uma elevada carência de maquinas, torres de observação, locais de captação de água e Equipamentos de Proteção Individual. As maiores dificuldades de trabalho salientadas pelos brigadistas foram a carência de infra-estrutura, o patrulhamento insuficiente, ausência de apoio das populações circunvizinhas e os freqüentes atrasos no inicio das atividades de prevenção. O investimento realizado nos últimos anos na contratação de brigadistas e aquisição de material de combate ainda não reduziu a área queimada nos Parques Nacionais. Ainda existem diversos problemas organizacionais e uma grande carência de equipamentos, pessoal e investimento em atividades preventivas. ANALYSIS OF PREVENTION AND FIGHT ACTIONS RELATED TO FOREST FIRES AT PROTECTED AREAS OF CERRADO Abstract This research aimed to evaluate the efficiency of actions due to the prevention and fight against the forest fires at Protected Areas of Cerrado. The data were collected at the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park and Emas National Park, in the state of Goias; Brasilia National Park in the Distrito Federal; Chapada dos Guimarães National Park in the state of Mato Grosso and Serra da Canastra National Park in the state of Minas Gerais. These states are all in Brazil. It was developed a questionnaire according to the data collected, applied to members of firefights and activities coordinators at Conservation Unities. It was also evaluated the infrastructure in prevention and fight. At all, 124 workers were interviewed. In most of the the Parks were verified that there was a high lack of machines, observation towers and strategic places for water and individual protection equipment capitation. The greatest work difficulties related by the firefighters were the lack of infrastructure, insufficient vigilance, little help from the neighbour population and frequent lateness in the beginning of prevention activities. The investment made in the latest years for firefighters admission and the acquisition of combat materials did not reduced the number of fires at the Parks. There are still many problems related to organization and a huge necessity of equipment, people and investments in preventive activities.

ABSTRACT The northern Brazilian state of Mato Grosso is considered an important biogeographical region, but has many sampling gaps. Apart from the well-documented non volant mammal community in the region, the bat fauna still poorly recorded. The aim of this study was to record the bat species of Juruena National Park, northern Mato Grosso, Brazil. Nineteen sites were sampled using mist-nets placed at ground level and near potential bat roosts. We collected 115 individuals belonging to 35 species and five families, which increased the number of species known for Mato Grosso´s Amazon from 86 to 91. The five new records were: Peropteryx kappleri, Peropteryx leucoptera, Lonchorhina inusitata, Tonatia saurophila, and Artibeus concolor. Our results pointed out the necessity of more studies in order to better estimate the bat diversity in northern Mato Grosso.

This study evaluated the occurrence of lepidopteran pests on millet cultivated in off-season in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Larvae were collected from May to July 2013 in an area of 145 hectares located in Tangará da Serra, MT. After being collected, caterpillars were kept in the laboratory and fed an artificial diet until the pupal stage. After emergence, adults were dry mounted, identified, and deposited in the entomological collection of Embrapa Cerrados, Planaltina, Distrito Federal, Brazil. Adults obtained from 117 caterpillars were identified as Mocis latipes (Guenée), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), H. zea (Boddie), Mythimna (Pseudaletia) sequax Franclemont, Urbanus proteus (Linnaeus), and Leucania latiuscula Herrich-Schäffer. This study describes the first record of lepidopteran pests on millet plants in the state of Mato Grosso, and the incidence of lepidopterans in the system that uses millet as cover crop represents a risk of the occurrence of insect pests on subsequent crops on the straw of this grass.

Five black-tailed marmoset Callithrix (Mico) melanura (Primates - Callitrichidae) individuals were monitored by radiotelemetry as part of a project on translocated wildlife affected by flooding the Manso River reservoir in the state of Mato Grosso, western Brazil (14° 52' S and 55° 48' W). The animals were monitored for eight months from October 2000 through August 2001. Only one death was recorded among the translocated animals. Two pairs established their home ranges in the new area, after some exploratory behavior. The new home range sizes varied from 0.72 to 4.27 km². The home ranges of male and female overlapped in the case of both pairs by 0.59 to 2.30 km². Trips were always made in pairs and not individually. The results indicate the feasibility of a successful translocation program for this species, as long as the animals are translocated to a similar habitat nearby.

O estabelecimento de zonas de amortecimento tem papel fundamental para o sucesso das Unidades de Conservação (UCs), através de critérios e normas específicas. O trabalho objetivou revisar, analisar e discutir os principais critérios utilizados para a delimitação de zonas de amortecimento no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Foram adotados procedimentos de identificação dos critérios a partir de consultas bibliográficas aos planos de manejo das UCs e de documentos cartográficos. Os resultados indicam que os principais critérios utilizados para delimitação de zonas de amortecimento são os limites físico-geográficos de bacias hidrográficas, áreas protegidas, faixas territoriais limítrofes como rodovias, estradas e cursos d’água. Nota-se em alguns casos que a aplicação de limites genéricos, como os dispostos na Resolução CONAMA 10/93 e 428/2010, excluem áreas importantes próximas às unidades, como nascentes e fragmentos importantes de vegetação. Identifica-se a necessidade de exposição mais clara, objetiva e concisa desses critérios nos Planos de Manejo.     Buffer Zones of Conservation Units: Concepts, Legislation, and Possibilities in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul ABSTRACTThe establishment of buffer zones has a fundamental role in the success of the Conservation Units, through specific criteria and rules for its delimitation and management. This paper aims to review, analyze, and discuss the main criteria used for limitate buffer zones in Mato Grosso do Sul. We adopted procedures for identifying the criteria from bibliographic consultations to the UCs’ management plans and cartographic documents. The results indicate that the main criteria used for the delimitation are the physical and geographic limits of hydrographic basins, protected areas, and bordering territorial bands such as highways, roads, and watercourses. We noted in some cases that the application of generic limits, such as those provided for in CONAMA’s resolutions, exclude important areas close to the units, such as river springs and important vegetation fragments. We identified the need for clearer, more objective, and concise exposure of these criteria in the Management Plans.   Keywords: Conservation Units; Buffer Zones; Mato Grosso do Sul.

Abstract Most of the existing peatland area in Indonesia is degraded mainly due to human activities. This, in association with the construction of drainage canals, resulted in a lower water table compared to its natural condition, causing many changes. Although the criteria for damage and recovery have already been articulated into several existing regulations, yet the indicators for recovery have not been widely studied. For effective restoration, managers need to have basic data related to the initial condition of damaged areas or at least have data on areas that are able to recover naturally without human assistance. Random sampling was used to collect field data on vegetation structure and composition, including direct interviews with the resource persons. Observations made in several locations within the Sebangau National Park indicated that some areas are recovering naturally and relatively fast, although some are not. During 2017 forest fires, only 98.03 ha or burned areas were recorded. This can be seen from the species composition and the vegetation structure covering the studied area. Conditions in the field indicate that all peat forests have been fragmented through the existence of canals which are used for various activities.

AbstractThree incidental sightings of the flat-headed cat Pnonailurus planiceps, a little-known species, were made in south-east Sumatra. Sightings were on lowland floodplains in two distinct habitats, primary peat swamp forest and secondary lowland forest, the latter suggesting some tolerance to modified habitats. Sightings were along or near waterways. A dead adult male found in Berbak National Park is the first confirmed record for the park. Morphometrics of this individual were consistent with other published measurements for the species. Museum specimens indicate a wide historic distribution in south-east Sumatra. Recent information confirms the species's presence in protected areas of eastern, southern and western Sumatra, although this is mostly limited to presence/absence data, and the conservation status and habitat requirements of the species in south-east Sumatra are unknown. Regional degradation of riparian habitats and the isolation of protected areas warrant concern for the conservation status of the species.

AbstractA cladistic analysis of the Attacobiini spiders (Corinnidae, Corinninae) is made from 11 species in the tribe, plus two Corinninae outgroup species (Septentrinna yucatan and Falconina gracilis), scored for 70 characters. Attacobiini, Attacobius and a group composed by A. attarum Roewer, A. luederwaldti (Mello-Leitão) and A. nigripes (Mello-Leitão) are the best supported clades in the analysis. Six new Brazilian species are described: Attacobius blakei, A. tucurui and A. uiriri, from the state of Pará; A. lamellatus and A. kitae, from Tocantins and A. carranca, from Tocantins and Bahia. The known distribution ranges of A. attarum and A. luederwaldti are extended from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia (Distrito Federal) and from São Paulo to Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, respectively. A 10 percent KOH preparation of the male palp of A. carranca suggests that the Attacobiini tegular process is homologous to the median apophysis, which is putatively symplesiomorphic in Corinninae.
