13. Significados paleoambientais e paleoclimáticos dos Paleossolos : uma revisão
The majority of paleosols are described from continental deposits, most commonly from alluvial strata. In these continental records to much little is revealed of conditions between events of sedimentation. In alluvial sedimentary environments, a record of these conditions is not lost and gone forever. They may be interpreted from fossil soils formed on depos

14. Aspectos biotecnológicos da interação entre bactérias e cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum sp., L.) / Biotechnological aspects of bacteria-sugarcane (Saccharum sp., L.) interactions
Sugarcane is one of the most important Brazilian crops. Its importance is increasing due to the gradual substitution of fossil fuel for renewable and cleaner energy sources, such as ethanol Consequently, the biotechnological aspects that mediate sugarcane-bacterium interactions must be evaluated; studies from tropical countries are incipiente Bacterium-plant

15. Composição molecular e origem paleobotânica de âmbares da bacia do Araripe, Formação Santana
The terpenoid composition of seven amber samples from Araripe Basin (Santana Formation, Crato Member) has been analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine their botanical origin. The diterpenoids, which have been identified in the fossil resin extracts are derived primarily from the abietane class, e.g., dehydroabietane, 4-epidehydroabietol

16. Primer registro del género Jenynsia Günther, 1866 (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes) en el Pleistoceno Medio tardío de la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina)
In this article, we described a left premaxilla assigned to Jenynsia, recovered in lacustrine facies corresponding to the Bonaerian Stage-Age (Late Middle Pleistocene) from Centinela del Mar, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. This material constitutes the first fossil record of the genus and one among the few antecedents of the Anablepidae family. The findin

17. As concepções evolutivas no Vestiges of the natural history of creation (1844) de Robert Chambers e a proposta de Lamarck: um estudo comparativo
Published anonymously in 1844, the book Vestiges of the natural history of creation triggered one of the greatest public debates which took place in the 19th century. Its author Robert Chambers proposed the transformation of living beings and the origin of new species by natural causes. The first aim of this dissertation is to describe some evolutionary conc

18. Filogenia e evolução de Teiidae (Squamata: Reptilia) com ênfase em Cnemidophorus
This study aims to improve the knowledge of phylogeny, biogeography and diversity of Teiidae. The first chapter provides an analysis of phylogenetic relationships among teiid genera based on molecular and morphological data. The total combined analysis corroborated the monophyly of Tupinambinae, Teiinae, and cnemidophorines. We present an evolutionary scenar

19. The historical biogeography of Pteroglossus aracaris (Aves, Piciformes, Ramphastidae) based on Bayesian analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences
Most Neotropical birds, including Pteroglossus aracaris, do not have an adequate fossil record to be used as time constraints in molecular dating. Hence, the evolutionary timeframe of the avian biota can only be inferred using alternative time constraints. We applied a Bayesian relaxed clock approach to propose an alternative interpretation for the histor

20. Leptoconops nosopheris sp. n. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and Paleotrypanosoma burmanicus gen. n., sp. n. (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae), a biting midge - trypanosome vector association from the Early Cretaceous
Leptoconops nosopheris sp. n. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) is described from a blood-filled female biting midge in Early Cretaceous Burmese amber. The new species is characterized by a very elongate terminal flagellomere, elongate cerci, and an indistinct spur on the metatibia. This biting midge contained digenetic trypanosomes (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatida

21. BARRAMENTOS NATURAIS NO VALE DO RIO PERUAÃU: CONSEQÃÃNCIAS ECOLÃGICAS E AMBIENTAIS DE EVENTOS PRETÃRITOS E FUTUROS. / Natural barring in the PeruaÃu River Valley: ecological and environmental consequences of past and future events.
Fossil assemblage found in caves record important environmental information concerning the recent past of the surrounding area. In the karstic canyon of the PeruaÃu River, Cavernas do PeruaÃu National Park, Minas Gerais - Brazil, organic deposits suggests the occurrence of major floods resulting from natural barring in the river bed.

22. PHYLOGENETICS AND MORPHOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF SCLERACTINIAN CORALS
Scleractinian corals are modular organisms of great ecological and economic importance that may have solitary or colonial growth forms. In spite of the rich fossil record, the evolutionary history of the group is poorly understood and its taxonomy is highly artificial because many of the features commonly employed in systematic studies of the group exhibit l

23. Taxonomy of invertebrate fossils (Oligocene-Miocene) from the King George island (West Antarctica) and paleobiogeography of cenozoic Bivalvia from Antarctica / Taxonomia de invertebrados fósseis (Oligoceno-Mioceno) da ilha Rei George (Antártica ocidental) e paleobiogeografia dos Bivalvia cenozóicos da Antártica
The research presented in this dissertation comprised part of the CNPq - PROANTAR Project 550352/02-3 "Mudanças paleoclimáticas na Antártica durante o Cenozóico: o registro geológico terrestre", which studies Cenozoic deposits from King George Island in order to elucidate the environmental and climatic Cenozoic histories of this Antarctic region.

24. Early Creatceous gymnosperms from the Crato Formation, Araripe Basin, Northeast Brazil / Gimnospermas eocretáceas da Formação Crato, bacia do Araripe, Nordeste do Brasil
Crato Formation, located in the Araripe Basin, Northeastern Brazil, bears one of the most important Lower Cretaceous fóssil plant Record. The fossils have an excellent preservation, usually low fragmentated, with attached organs and epidermic and anatomic features delicatedly replaced by iron oxides. As it happens worldwide, gymnosperms were the dominant gr
