Anthropogenic pressures on the Earth System have reached a scale where abrupt global environmental change can no longer be excluded. We propose a new approach to global sustainability in which we define planetary boundaries within which we expect that humanity can operate safely. Transgressing one or more planetary boundaries may be deleterious or even catastrophic due to the risk of crossing thresholds that will trigger non-linear, abrupt environmental change within continental- to planetary-scale systems.   We have identified nine planetary boundaries and, drawing upon current scientific understanding, we propose quantifications for seven of them. These seven are climate change (CO2 concentration in the atmosphere &amp;#60;350 ppm and/or a maximum change...

First insights into the structure and environmental setting of cold-seep communities in the Marmara Sea
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Ritt, Benedicte; Sarrazin, Jozee; Caprais, Jean-claude; Noel, Philippe; Gauthier, Olivier; Pierre, Catherine; Henry, Pierre; Desbruyeres, Daniel.
A brackish-water cold seep on the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) in the Marmara Sea was investigated with the Nautile submersible during the MarNaut cruise in 2007. This active zone has already been surveyed and revealed evidence of active seeping on the seafloor, such as bubble emissions, patches of reduced sediments, microbial mats and authigenic carbonate crusts. MarNaut was the first opportunity to sample benthic communities in the three most common microhabitats (bioturbated and reduced sediments, carbonate crust) and to examine their relationships with environmental conditions. To do so, faunal communities were sampled and chemical measurements were taken close to the organisms. According to diversity indices, the bioturbated microhabitat exhibited the...

Projet SINP - Synthèse des indicateurs institutionnels de biodiversité marine et côtière
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Fossat, Julia; Pelletier, Dominique; Levrel, Harold.
Le gouvernement français s’est engagé à travers différentes conventions et textes institutionnels à stopper d’ici 2010 la perte de la biodiversité. Pour atteindre cet objectif, le Ministère de l’Ecologie, de l’Energie, du Développement Durable et de la Mer (MEEDDM) a mis en place le Système d’Information sur la Nature et les Paysages (SINP), afin de rassembler et structurer l’information sur le patrimoine naturel et la biodiversité. Le volet marin de ce système, le SINP mer, a également pour vocation de valoriser ces informations, soit de présenter des indicateurs permettant de répondre aux enjeux de conservation de la biodiversité marine à partir des données contenues dans le système. Ce document présente la première phase de travail sur les indicateurs...

Selection of bee species for environmental risk assessment of GM cotton in the Brazilian Cerrado
Provedor de dados: 86
Autores: Pires,Carmen Sílvia Soares; Silveira,Fernando Amaral; Cardoso,Carolina Ferreira; Sujii,Edison Ryotii; Paula,Débora Pires; Fontes,Eliana Maria Gouveira; Silva,Joseane Padilha da; Rodrigues,Sandra Maria Morais; Andow,David Alan.
The objective of this work was to list potential candidate bee species for environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) cotton and to identify the most suited bee species for this task, according to their abundance and geographical distribution. Field inventories of bee on cotton flowers were performed in the states of Bahia and Mato Grosso, and in Distrito Federal, Brazil. During a 344 hour sampling, 3,470 bees from 74 species were recovered, at eight sites. Apis mellifera dominated the bee assemblages at all sites. Sampling at two sites that received no insecticide application was sufficient to identify the three most common and geographically widespread wild species: Paratrigona lineata, Melissoptila cnecomola, and Trigona spinipes,...

Comparing Farm and Village-Level Determinant of Millet Diversity in Marginal Environments of India: The Context of Seed Systems
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nagarajan,   Latha; Smale,   Melinda; Glewwe,   Paul.
The purpose of the research paper is to characterize biological diversity related to millets in the semi-arid regions of India at various spatial scales of analysis (e.g., farm household versus community levels) and place that evidence in a broader seed systems (includes both formal and informal) context. An important finding of this research is that producer access to millet genetic resources is affected by the extent to which seed is traded via formal markets or through other social institutions, along with farm and household characteristics. Findings also underscore the need for an enhanced theoretical understanding of local seed markets in analyzing crop variety choices and the diversity of materials grown in less favored environments.

Definitions of Biodiversity and Measures of Its Value
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Simpson,   R. David.
The destruction of natural habitats has prompted concerns about the loss of biological diversity. Regrettably, however, there is no consensus among either biologists or economists on the most meaningful measures of biodiversity. Fundamentally different definitions are useful in asking fundamentally different questions. Considerable attention has been given to the value of diversity in search models. A measure of "aggregate variability" is appropriate to such models. Values derived from search models tend to be well behaved; they exhibit diminishing returns in diversity. In contrast, a definition of diversity as "relative abundance" is more appropriate to more complex objective functions. Values derived in these models are not necessarily well behaved. The...

Geographic variation in diversity of wave exposed rocky intertidal communities along central Chile
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: BROITMAN,BERNARDO R; VÉLIZ,FREDY; MANZUR,TATIANA; WIETERS,EVIE A; RANDALL FINKE,G; FORNES,PAULINA A; VALDIVIA,NELSON; NAVARRETE,SERGIO A.
Along the coast of central Chile, geographic trends of diversity have been inferred from literature compilations and museum collections based on species range limits for some taxonomic groups. However, spatially-intensive field-based assessments of macrobenthic species richness are largely missing. Over the course of a multiyear study (1998-2005), we characterized latitudinal patterns of rocky intertidal diversity at 18 sites along the coast of central Chile (29-36° S). At each site, the number of sessile and mobile macrobenthic species was quantified in 0.25 m² quadrats. Two estimators of local (alpha) diversity were used: observed local species richness, calculated from the asymptote of a species-rarefaction curve, and the Chao2 index, which takes into...

POTENTIAL SPECIES RICHNESS OF FROGS AND DIURNAL BUTTERFLIES IN THREE BIOGEOGRAPHICAL UNITS FROM NORTHEASTERN COLOMBIA: CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS
Provedor de dados: 37
Autores: ACEVEDO,Aldemar A.; ARMESTO SANGUINO,Orlando; OLARTE QUIÑÓNEZ,Camilo Andrés; SOLANO,Liliana; ALBORNOZ ESPINEL,Mónica María; CABRERA,James Alexis; CARRERO SARMIENTO,Diego Armando.
ABSTRACT We present an estimation of the potential species richness of frogs, and diurnal butterflies distributed in the departments of Norte de Santander and Santander, Colombia, and analyze the implications for conservation of such high Andean species. From June 2012 to May 2016, we sampled across the Almorzadero, Santurbán and Tamá biogeographical units to gather presence data of 7 anuran species and 29 butterflies species from the superfamily Papilionoidea. We modeled the potential distribution of each species, converted every model to binary, and the sum up of unique species per cell allowed to estimate the model of potential richness, generating the total number of species for every 1 km2 cell. Every model was validated against field data, vegetation...

An annotated checklist of the Arcella (Arcellidae) from littoral zone of Paranoá lake-Brazil, with a pictorial key
Provedor de dados: 3
Autores: Silva, Mariana Lessa Carneiro da; Rangel, Elisangela Reis; Lansac-Tôha, Fabio Amodêo; Schwind, Leilane Talita Fatoreto; Joko, Ciro Yoshio.
The pictorial key contributes to taxonomic analysis, as it lists the species found in a given environment, and points out the morphological characteristics that differs one specific taxon from the others. Arcellidae Ehrenberg, 1830 is one of the testate amoebae families with highest representativity in terms of richness and abundance, including three genera, that Arcella shows greater dispersion in different types of aquatic biotopes. The zooplankton community in the Paranoá Lake has been extensively studied over the decades. However, there are no studies on testate amoebae in this environment. The study aimed to develop a pictorial key to help in the identification of Arcella in the Paranoá Lake. Samples were taken with plankton net at 13 sites in the...

Larval trematodes in freshwater gastropods from Mato Grosso, Brazil: diversity and host-parasites relationships
Provedor de dados: 49
Autores: Mattos,Aline Carvalho de; Boaventura,Maria Fernanda Furtado; Fernandez,Monica Ammon; Thiengo,Silvana Carvalho.
A survey for freshwater gastropods carrying trematodes parasites was conducted in Manso Dam and the surrounding areas frequented by tourist, focusing particularly on the Pantanal region. Infected snails were recovered from twelve of the eighteen investigated municipalities and forty-one cercaria-snail pairings were recorded. Among these pairings were several first records of snails serving as intermediate hosts for trematodes in Brazil including Biomphalaria amazônica Paraense, 1966, Biomphalaria occidentalis Paraense, 1981, Marisa planogyra Pilsbry, 1933, Pomacea maculata Perry, 1830, Pomacea scalaris (d'Orbigny, 1835) and Gundlachia radiata (Guilding, 1828). Echinostomatidae and Strigeidae were the most common trematode families (ca. 47%) and the...
