13. Will Mayaro virus be responsible for the next outbreak of an arthropod-borne virus in Brazil?
Abstract Mayaro virus is an alphavirus from the Togaviridae family and is transmitted mainly by Hemagogus mosquitoes. This virus circulates in high-density tropical forests or rural areas of Central and South America causing a disease characterized by high-grade fever, maculopapular skin rash and marked arthralgia that, in some patients, can persist for long

14. Spatial distribution of Culicidae (Diptera) larvae, and its implications for Public Health, in five areas of the Atlantic Forest biome, State of São Paulo, Brazil
ABSTRACT In view of the adaptive ability of mosquitoes and their role in the transport of infective agents, entomological surveys undertaken in transitional environments are very important for the determination of the risk they represent for Public Health. Among the principal vectors of the infectious agents involved in the occurrence of important arboviruse

15. Spatial modeling of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Andean region of Colombia
The objective of this research was to identify environmental risk factors for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Colombia and map high-risk municipalities. The study area was the Colombian Andean region, comprising 715 rural and urban municipalities. We used 10 years of CL surveillance: 2000-2009. We used spatial-temporal analysis - conditional autoregressive P

16. Taxonomy and distribution of Talitroides alluaudi (Chevreux, 1896) and T. topitotum (Burt, 1934) (Amphipoda, Talitridae) in Atlantic rain forests of southeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT The family Talitridae Rafinesque, 1815 is the only group, among the amphipods, that colonized the terrestrial environment, and more than half of its species live in tropical and subtropical forests. Nowadays, the family has approximately 270 species described in 64 genera. Leaf litter samples from Atlantic forests and urban areas of the states of Ri

17. Fragmentación de escala y precarización. Referentes de la estructuración urbana convencional
Developing countries play the role of supplying the contemporary economy. The territorial and social conditions of the place refer to the scale fragmentation process and to the increase in the poor population because there is a tendency of unrestricted use of land in order to convert it into an urban and productive place. In the Mexican case, the loss of lan

18. Tool use in urban populations of capuchin monkeys Sapajus spp. (Primates: Cebidae)
Capuchin monkeys, Sapajus Kerr, 1792, are known for their flexible behavior, including tool use, and their ability to survive in urban forests. We observed capuchin juveniles using wood as hammer and anvil and different materials as sponges (four tool-use events) in two geographically distinct urban populations in Brazil, in 2012: two in Goiânia, Central Br

19. Synergy in ethnopharmacological data collection methods employed for communities adjacent to urban forest
Several ethnopharmacological techniques used for sampling and data collection cannot be used as they are for different areas and cultural groups. This study combined and adapted reported ethnopharmacological research techniques for sampling and data collection of medicinal plants in forests adjacent to urban areas, and evaluated their potential applicability

20. Temperatura de la superficie terrestre en diferentes tipos de cobertura de la Región Andina Colombiana
This study assessed the relationship of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) with land surface temperature (LST), using Landsat images of La Vieja river watershed, in the Andean region of Colombia. We evaluated land covered by Andean forest, forest plantation, coffee, pasture and urban area. Negative corr

21. Synanthropic behavior of the Neotropical palm swift Tachornis squamata (Apodiformes: Apodidae) in the Brazilian Caatinga
The Neotropical palm swift, Tachornis squamata Cassin, 1853 (Apodidae), inhabits palm forests in the northern, northeastern and central regions of South America. At the Chapada do Apodi, Brazilian Caatinga, we investigated how the Neotropical palm swifts use palm trees to roost in two areas: urban and exurban. From May to November 2011 and from March to June

22. Estudo da paisagem para subsídio ao planejamento ambiental e conservação de fragmentos florestais nos Distritos do Parque do Carmo, José Bonifácio e Cidade Tiradentes, Município de São Paulo (SP) / Study of landscape for subsidy for environmental planning and conservation of forest fragments in Parque do Carmo, José Bonifácio e Cidade Tiradentes districts, City of São Paulo (SP)
A partir da década de 1970, o município de São Paulo, apresentou uma expansão de sua área periférica que resultando na perda significativa de sua cobertura vegetal, que hoje se reduz a fragmentos nos extremos norte e sul do município e de manchas isoladas de vegetação, como as das Áreas de Proteção Ambiental do Parque e Fazenda Carmo e da Mata do

23. Efeitos do uso e cobertura do solo sobre o conforto higrotérmico / Effects of the use and soil cover on the hygrothermal comfort
Given the importance of obtaining an urban design based on the microclimate and the possibility of the use of trees as a factor in mitigation of urban distress, this study evaluated the effect caused by three different spatial arrangements of urban forests and the use and occupation on soil in temperature and humidity of the environment in surroundings area.

24. Valoração arbórea em bacia hidrográfica urbana / Tree valuation in urban watershed
No contexto urbano, a bacia hidrográfica é formada por componentes naturais e artificiais que interagem em um sistema único. Os componentes naturais são representados por diversos bens naturais que proporcionam os serviços ambientais. Dimensionar o valor econômico de bens naturais, incluídas as árvores urbanas, é uma forma de simbolizar a sua import
