Resumo: Encounters between flowers and invertebrates are key events for the functioning of tropical forests. Assessing the structure of networks composed of the
interactions between those partners leads to a better understanding of ecosystem functioning and the effects of environmental factors on ecological processes. Gathering such data is, however, costly and time-consuming, especially
in the highly diverse tropics. We aimed to provide a comprehensive repository
of available flower–invertebrate interaction information for the Atlantic
Forest, a South American tropical forest domain. Data were obtained from
published works and “gray literature,” such as theses and dissertations, as well
as self-reports by co-authors. The data set has 18,000 interaction records
forming 482 networks, each containing between one and 1061 interaction
links. Each network was sampled for about 200 h or less, with few exceptions.
A total of 641 plant genera within 136 different families and 39 orders were
reported, with the most abundant and rich families being Asteraceae,
Fabaceae, and Rubiaceae. Invertebrates interacting with these plants were all
arthropods from 10 orders, 129 families, and 581 genera, comprising 2419 morphotypes (including 988 named species). Hymenoptera was the most
abundant and diverse order, with at least six times more records than the
second-ranked order (Lepidoptera). The complete data set shows
Hymenoptera interacting with all plant orders and also shows Diptera,
Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera to be important nodes. Among plants,
Asterales and Fabales had the highest number of interactions. The best sampled environment was forest ( 8000 records), followed by pastures and crops.
Savanna, grasslands, and urban environments (among others) were also
reported, indicating a wide range of approaches dedicated to collecting
flower–invertebrate interaction data in the Atlantic Forest domain.
Nevertheless, most reported data were from forest understory or lower strata,
indicating a knowledge gap about flower–invertebrate interactions at the
canopy. Also, access to remote regions remains a limitation, generating sampling bias across the geographical range of the Atlantic Forest. Future studies
in these continuous and hard-to-access forested areas will yield important
new information regarding the interactions between flowers and invertebrates in the Atlantic Forest. There are no copyright restrictions on the data
set. Please cite this data paper if the data are used in publications and

Resumo: Advancing functional ecology depends fundamentally on the availability of
data on reproductive traits, including those from tropical plants, which have
been historically underrepresented in global trait databases. Although some
valuable databases have been created recently, they are mainly restricted to
temperate areas and vegetative traits such as leaf and wood traits. Here, we
present Rock n’ Seeds, a database of seed functional traits and germination
experiments from Brazilian rock outcrop vegetation, recognized as outstanding centers of diversity and endemism. Data were compiled through a systematic
literature search, resulting in 103 publications from which seed functional
traits were extracted. The database includes information on 16 functional traits
for 383 taxa from 148 genera, 50 families, and 25 orders. These 16 traits include
two dispersal, six production, four morphological, two biophysical, and two
germination traits—the major axes of the seed ecological spectrum. The data-
base also provides raw data for 48 germination experiments, for a total of
10,187 records for 281 taxa. Germination experiments in the database assessed
the effect of a wide range of abiotic and biotic factors on germination and dif-
ferent dormancy-breaking treatments. Notably, 8255 of these records include
daily germination counts. This input will facilitate synthesizing germination
data and using this database for a myriad of ecological questions. Given the
variety of seed traits and the extensive germination information made avail-
able by this database, we expect it to be a valuable resource advancing compar-
ative functional ecology and guiding seed-based restoration and biodiversity
conservation in tropical megadiverse ecosystems. There are no copyright
restrictions on the data; please cite this paper when using the current data in
publications; also the authors would appreciate notification of how the data
are used in publications.2022-01-01T00:00:00ZA educação ambiental no estudo do descarte incorreto de medicamentos.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida na graduação a partir de um projeto final da
disciplina de Educação Ambiental, com objetivo de identificar legislações e ações em
vigor que norteiam o descarte dos medicamentos. Investigamos o processo de coleta e
destinação final dos medicamentos em uma cidade no interior de MG. Visitamos
possíveis pontos de coleta na cidade e observamos a não realização de coleta por
farmácias locais. Verificamos que a legislação nacional mais recente não inclui todas as
situações de descarte. Identificamos ações nacionais não governamentais e ações
locais com desenvolvimento de pesquisas e incentivo ao descarte correto de
medicamentos. A partir de nossos resultados, elaboramos uma cartilha educativa sobre
desfazimento correto de fármacos.2022-01-01T00:00:00ZIndividual responses of captive amazon parrots to routine handling can reflect their temperament.

Resumo: Individual responses to physical restraint and temperament have been assessed in birds of
several species; however, there is a paucity of research which investigates both aspects, especially in
captive parrots. This lack of studies raises doubts about which temperament traits, if any, are evidenced
during handling and if the intensity of responses to restraint is affected by behavioral training programs,
a common practice used in ex situ conservation programs. To understand more about the subject, this
study aimed to identify the main temperament dimensions of parrots and investigate their relationship
with response to physical restraint for blood collection. A secondary aim was to evaluate whether
parrots exhibited higher responsiveness to physical restraint after training to improve flight capacity
and increase aversion to humans. The main dimensions identified were activity, neophilia, vigilance,
and fearfulness. The more fearful parrots in temperament evaluations were more responsive to physical
restraint, showing more vocalizations and struggle attempts than the less fearful ones. After training,
the parrots showed higher responsiveness to physical restraint. We suggest that physical restraint for
routine handling, such as blood collection, could be a feasible option for centers of rehabilitation to use
to obtain data on individual behavioral differences in fear responses.2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
