    Abstract: Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used as bioindicators of the ecological impact of land use. We gathered information of ant species in the Atlantic Forest of South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part of the ATLANTIC SERIES data papers, is a compilation of ant records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished data (29,651 records), and published sources (106,910 records; 1,059 references), including papers, theses, dissertations, and book chapters published from 1886 to 2020. In total, the data set contains 153,818 ant records from 7,636 study locations in the Atlantic Forest, representing 10 subfamilies, 99 genera, 1,114 ant species identified with updated taxonomic certainty, and 2,235 morphospecies codes. Our data set reflects the heterogeneity in ant records, which include ants sampled at the beginning of the taxonomic history of myrmecology (the 19th and 20th centuries) and more recent ant surveys designed to address specific questions in ecology and biology. The data set can be used by researchers to develop strategies to deal with different macroecological and region‐wide questions, focusing on assemblages, species occurrences, and distribution patterns. Furthermore, the data can be used to assess the consequences of changes in land use in the Atlantic Forest on different ecological processes. No copyright restrictions apply to the use of this data set, but we request that authors cite this data paper when using these data in publications or teaching events.

    Abstract: Estudos para o combate ao vetor Aedes aegypti são importantes para reduzir as incidências da Dengue, Zika e Chikungunya, responsáveis por milhares de mortes no Mundo. Este estudo hipotetiza que as ninfas de odonata influenciam no controle de larvas de Aedes aegypti com eficácia diferente entre as famílias, por terem distinta morfologia de aparelho mastigador e comportamento. O objetivo com esta pesquisa foi avaliar a eficiência de sete famílias de odonata como predadoras de Aedes aegypti, em condições laboratoriais. Ninfas foram coletadas com armadilha de rede, no Rio Poxim Açu e individualizadas, em potes plásticos, com 20 cm de diâmetro, contendo água do rio e mantidas em temperatura ambiente. Para verificar a potencialidade de predação de larva de Aedes aegypti, pelas ninfas de Odonata, tendo sido avaliada a taxa de predação de 30 larvas de mosquito, em cada pote por dia, contabilizando-se o número de larvas predadas. A média de predação pelas ninfas foi de 6,08 larvas de mosquito por dia. As famílias Aeshnidae (9,28), Libellulidae (8,37) obtiveram as maiores médias de predação por dia. Todas as famílias de odonata predaram, em pelo menos um dia, o máximo de 25 a 30 larvas, exceto Cordulidae. Portanto, os predadores da família Aeshnidae e Libellulidae foram muito eficazes no controle do Aedes aegypti e representam uma alternativa de baixo custo e de fácil aplicabilidade em cisternas e caixas de água domiciliares, que têm condições semelhantes às encontradas neste experimento.

Abstract Studies of Aedes aegypti control are especially important for reducing the incidence of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya cases that are responsible for thousands of human deaths in the world. This study hypothesizes that odonata nymphs influence the Aedes aegypti larvae control with different efficacy among their families, due to their chewing apparatus morphology and to their diverse behavior in nature. The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of seven families of odonata nymphs as predators of the Aedes aegypti larvae under laboratory conditions. Odonata nymphs of seven families were collected with a net trap at Poxim Açu River. Each nymph was placed in a 20-cm diameter plastic recipient containing river water at room temperature. In order to verify the odonata nymphs predation on the Aedes aegypti larvae, the predation rate of 30 mosquito larvae was verified on each recipient per day. The odonata nymphs presented an average predation rate of 6.08 mosquito larvae per day. The families Aeshnidae (9,28) and Libellulidae (8,37) obtained the greatest average predation rate per day. All the Odonata families predated from 25 to 30 larvae in at least one day, except Cordulidae. Therefore, the Ashinadae and libelulidae predators were highly effective on the Aedes aegypti control. Thus, they represent a low-cost alternative for Aedes control in cisterns and water tanks at home sites, which have similar conditions to the ones found in this experiment.

    Abstract: The muric tree (Byrsonima verbascifolia (L.) Rich) is a native fruit plant used by humans for various purposes, from edible fruits to the medicinal uses of its leaves, bark, and fruits. Bees are the main pollinators of wild and cultivated plants, and without pollination, there is no formation of fruits and seeds, so floral visitors perform ecosystem services in exchange for pollen, nectar, and oil. Muricizeiro offers pollen and oils to its floral visitors, which attracts several species of native bees to its inflorescences, mainly Centris and Epicharis bees, specialists in oil collection. Thus, the presence of muric trees close to the planting area can contribute to the pollination of the cultivated plants. The objective of this study was to survey floral visitors to muricizeiro in São Cristóvão. The work was carried out in the Emília Maria settlement in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, where the floral visiting bees of muricizeiro were captured with an entomological net, for ten days, in the morning and afternoon. Twelve bee species belonging to the Apidae and Halictidae families were collected, with the most abundant species being Euglossa chalybeata (38.41%) and Eulaema nigrita (25.42%). The presence of Eulaema nigrita is related to environmental changes during the implementation of agriculture. The specimens were deposited in the entomological collection of the IFS/Campus São Cristóvão.

    Abstract: River regularization plays an important role in socio economic development. However, it also modifies the natural flow system of the river and its biotic and abiotic characteristics, causing significant impacts on rivers. To evaluate the impacts on the macroinvertebrate community caused by dam construction on the Poxim-Açú River, metrics of composition and community structure of the macroinvertebrates were analyzed, as well as ecological and biological traits of the region. Macroinvertebrates were collected at three sites located downstream the dam, before (2013) and after (2015) dam construction. The water quality was classified as “good” to “excellent” according to the biotics indices. The alterations of the flow regime of the river after the dam construction influenced the macroinvertebrate communities, modifying their diversity, equitability, richness, and the number of individuals. Keywords: bioindicators, dam impacts, environmental monitoring.

    Abstract: Abstract The dengue fever is a febrile illness transmitted by mosquitoes Aedes aegypti to humans. The control of dengue dissemination is a hard challenge since the human population is presenting a considerably increase. Brazilian plants are known to control mosquitoes larvae due to their insecticides properties. This work had the objective to evaluate the success of plants extracts on the Aedes aegypti population. It was hypothesized that the studied plant extracts influence the population size of Aedes aegypti. It was hoped that at least one of these extracts is 100% efficient on the  mosquito larvae combat, thus contributing to Brazilian Health Programs for the local Dengue eradication. Five plants extracts were studied against Aedes aegypti larvae populations under laboratory conditions. The plants were macerated and 4 concentrations for each plant were obtained using distillate water.  Each concentration of each extract was tested on 10 Aedes larvae with 3 repetitions, for the experiment and positive and negative control on larvae were tested, using alcohol and mineral water, respectively. The count of dead larvae was daily done. The Ricinus communis L. extract was the best extract against Aedes aegypti, killing 100% of their larvae, followed by Mimosa Tenuiflora and Ipoema eriocalyx that achieved DL50 at a concentration of 20%. These results suggest the use of the Ricinus communis L. extract on the control of A. aegypti population in order to extinct the Dengue fever and to help the government healthy programs with this disease. Keywords:  Mosquitoes larvae. Dengue Fever. Medicinal Plants. ResumoA Dengue é uma doença transmitida por mosquitos Aedes aegypti para humanos. Seu controle é uma tarefa árdua, uma vez que a população humana tem apresentado crescimento considerável. Entretanto, plantas brasileiras são indicadas para controle de larvas deste mosquito em função de suas propriedades inseticidas. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o sucesso de extratos de plantas no controle da população de Aedes aegypti. Foi proposta a hipótese de  que os extratos das plantas estudados influenciam no tamanho da população de Aedes aegypti. Esperou-se  que pelo menos um destes extratos fosse 100% eficiente no combate às  larvas de mosquito, de forma a contribuir para Programas de saúde que visam  erradicação da Dengue.  Cinco extratos de plantas foram estudados no controle do Aedes aegypti sob condições laboratoriais. As plantas foram maceradas e quatro concentrações foram obtidas de cada uma, utilizando água destilada.  Cada concentração foi testada em dez larvas de Aedes com três repetições no experimento e se testou  um controle positivo e negativo nas larvas, usando álcool e água destilada, respectivamente. A contagem de larvas mortas foi feita diariamente. O extrato da Ricinus communis L. foi o de maior sucesso no controle de Aedes aegypti, matando 100% das larvas, seguido da Mimosa Tenuiflora e Ipoema eriocalyx, que atingiram DL50 em uma concentração de 20%. O uso de extrato de Ricinus communis L é, portanto, a ferramenta mais indicada para o controle de A. aegypti, auxiliando potencialmente na erradicação da Dengue, e dando diretrizes para programas governamentais de saúde dos países com esta doença. Palavras-chave: Larvas de Mosquitos. Dengue. Plantas Medicinais.
