These issues are very present in the literature, where authors point out the importance of urban afforestation, given the impacts of climate change on cities. Despite this, studies that problematize urban vegetation are not frequent, in the case of Caxias-MA, there is a scarcity of them, in addition to social, environmental and professional factors, it is understood the need to carry out an analysis of tree species in the region. Therefore, this work aimed to carry out a survey of exotic and native species used in afforestation in the Centro neighborhood, municipality of Caxias – MA. The methodology was divided into three stages: fieldwork, analysis and identification and preparationof botanical material. For this purpose, the species used in afforestation were collected and identified through specialized bibliographies, virtual herbaria, identification keys and data from Flora and Funga do Brazil (2023). After identification, the species surveyed were classified as native and exotic and it was found that Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Nim), an exotic species, was the most common in the Centro neighborhood, both on public roads and in green areas, Native species are mostly found in squares and in low numbers on public roads. It was found that around 80.15% of the afforestation in the Centro neighborhood is made upof exotic species and only 19.85%are native. Only Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Nim) represents approximately 55.9% of the total number of specimens, while the most common natives belong to the Bignoniaceae family, Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart.ex DC.) Mattos (Ipê purple), Tabebuia rosea (Bertol.) (Ipê pink) and Jacaranda brasiliana (Lam.) (rosewood), representing approximately 6% of the total afforestation.

In Brazil, the family is represented by 592 species, grouped into 46 genera, with a wide distribution,occurring in all Brazilian states and phytogeographic domains. The objective of the research was to elaborate an updated checklist of Malpighiaceae for the state of Maranhão. Initially, a checklist of Malpighiaceae species was made, using records of collections of gifts in the online data repositories GBIF, Reflora, SIBBR and Specieslink. The records obtained went through a process of cleaning, correction and standardization, resulting in the end that were used to compose the checklist. To measure the richness and composition of the taxa, based on the checklist, the number of genera and species of Malpighiaceae present in the most representative state in terms of number of collections were quantified. The total 2818 records were distributed in 110 species, grouped in 21 genera being Byrsonima Rich. ex Kunth, the most representative in number of species with (35) and in records with (1617). The species Byrsonima crassifolia (L.) Kunth was the most representative in number of records with (543). The list has 40 species not listed for thestate, 47 species endemic to Brazil and 1 species Pterandra andersonii C.E.Anderson as endemic to the state of Maranhão.

These insects, commonly known in Brazil as bicho-lixeiro, have great potential in studies of biological control of agricultural pests. Despite its economic importance, there are stillfew studies on this family in Brazil, mainly in the Northeast region, including the state of Maranhão. Based on the importance of Chrysopidae, on the scarce studies of the family, and on the importance for Maranhão, this work aimed to know the diversity of Chrysopidae species in the state. Thus, with a detailed taxonomic study of thisfauna, it would be possible to provide important data to be used in future studies of biological pest control and to help combat regional and national taxonomic impediments. For this, specimens from the Zoological Collection of Maranhão (CZMA/ UEMA) were studied and collections were carried out in different areas of the state. The specimens were collected with an entomological net and sheet-type, Malaise and Suspension light traps and, later, identified through the structuresof their genitalia. The study resulted in 17 species, six genera and three tribes of Chrysopidae for the state of Maranhão, with 16 new records of species, five of genera and two of tribes. Allspecies were morphologically characterized and illustrated with images of both sexes; a distribution map of the genera, as well as an identification key for the species of Chrysopidae from Maranhão were provided. Thus, it waspossible to conclude that Maranhão has a rich diversity of Chrysopidae, especiallyin the Cerrado biome. The results of this study make a great contribution to combating gaps in biodiversity knowledge, especially Linnean and Wallacean.

Its representatives have variable length, between 2 and 14 mm; they are characterized by having coloration varied between yellow, green, bluish or even brown to black, with blue or green metallic shine; forehead usually smooth, but sometimes bumpy or wrinkled; thorax longer than wide; wings with patterns of dark spots or bands, sometimes completely hyaline. They live in various habitats, including the vegetation canopy, where the group is one of the most abundant in this extract. The general objective of this work was to survey the ulidiid fauna of the Palmares National Forest, Altos, in the state of Piauí. The collections were made in the canopy with the aid of a PET fly trap (reformulated). We analyzed 284 specimens of ulidiids distributed in five species and these in five genera, all recorded as monotypic: Acrosticta apicalis Williston; Notogramma cimiforme Loew; Pterocalla sp.; Pterocerina sp. and Xanthacrona bipustulata Wulp. These results represent the first survey of Ulidiidae in Palmares FLONA and constitute the first records of the family for the state of Piauí Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6074 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
