Abstract To understand future changes in community composition due to global changes, the knowledge about community dynamics is of crucial importance. To improve our understanding about processes and patterns involved in maintaining species rich neotropical ecosystems, we provide here a dataset from the one hectare Forest of Seu Nico (FSN) Dynamics Plot from Southeastern Brazil. We report diameter at breast height, basal area and height measurements of 2868 trees and treelets identified during two census spanning over a nine-year period. Furthermore, soil properties and understory light availability of all 100 10 x 10m subplots from the one hectare FSN Dynamics Plot during the second census are given.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents the median household income across different racial categories in Brazil. It portrays the median household income of the head of household across racial categories (excluding ethnicity) as identified by the Census Bureau. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into economic disparities and trends and explore the variations in median houshold income for diverse racial categories.

Key observations

Based on our analysis of the distribution of Brazil population by race & ethnicity, the population is predominantly White. This particular racial category constitutes the majority, accounting for 94% of the total residents in Brazil. Notably, the median household income for White households is $48,925. Interestingly, White is both the largest group and the one with the highest median household income, which stands at $48,925.

We conducted a survey of tadpoles and adult anurans in several ponds in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. We determined the taxonomic identities of the tadpoles by matching the tadpole DNA barcodes (16S) with the respective barcodes of adults. We provide descriptions and illustrations of the larval morphology of these anurans, including their coloration in life. The tadpoles we collected were screened for symptoms of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection, by visually inspecting the keratinous mouth parts under a dissecting microscope.

ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that diversity in race and gender is important to improve competitiveness, creativity and innovation. However, many studies have shown that the universe of science is not diverse in none of these criteria. In this work, we quantify the gender and geographic diversity in the Brazilian science. We study in detail the profile of the titular members of the most prestigious academic institution of Brazil, the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC). Our analysis shows that the members of the ABC concentrates 80% in the Southeast region and that the overwhelming majority is composed by men. We show that female and male researchers have roughly the same amount of publication per year but women produce more human resources. Using the Brazilian Researchers’ Fellowship databank we show that the gender and diversity both in gender and in geography decreases along the researchers’ career.

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Guedes, Felipe Martins, Miranda, Vitor Fernandes Oliveira, Alves, Marccus (2022): Diversity and distribution of Lentibulariaceae in Bahia state, Brazil: implications for phytogeography and conservation. Phytotaxa 556 (3): 213-255, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.556.3.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.556.3.1

The history of modern Brazil begins in the year 1500 when Pedro Álvares Cabral arrived with a small fleet and claimed the land for the Portuguese Empire. With the Treaty of Torsedillas in 1494, Spain and Portugal agreed to split the New World peacefully, thus allowing Portugal to take control of the area with little competition from other European powers. As the Portuguese did not arrive with large numbers, and the indigenous population was overwhelmed with disease, large numbers of African slaves were transported across the Atlantic and forced to harvest or mine Brazil's wealth of natural resources. These slaves were forced to work in sugar, coffee and rubber plantations and gold and diamond mines, which helped fund Portuguese expansion across the globe. In modern history, transatlantic slavery brought more Africans to Brazil than any other country in the world. This combination of European, African and indigenous peoples set the foundation for what has become one of the most ethnically diverse countries across the globe.

Independence and Monarchy By the early eighteenth century, Portugal had established control over most of modern-day Brazil, and the population more than doubled in each half of the 1800s. The capital of the Portuguese empire was moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1808 (as Napoleon's forces moved closer towards Lisbon), making this the only time in European history where a capital was moved to another continent. The United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was established in 1815, and when the Portuguese monarchy and capital returned to Lisbon in 1821, the King's son, Dom Pedro, remained in Brazil as regent. The following year, Dom Pedro declared Brazil's independence, and within three years, most other major powers (including Portugal) recognized the Empire of Brazil as an independent monarchy and formed economic relations with it; this was a much more peaceful transition to independence than many of the ex-Spanish colonies in the Americas. Under the reign of Dom Pedro II, Brazil's political stability remained relatively intact, and the economy grew through its exportation of raw materials and economic alliances with Portugal and Britain. Despite pressure from political opponents, Pedro II abolished slavery in 1850 (as part of a trade agreement with Britain), and Brazil remained a powerful, stable and progressive nation under Pedro II's leadership, in stark contrast to its South American neighbors. The booming economy also attracted millions of migrants from Europe and Asia around the turn of the twentieth century, which has had a profound impact on Brazil's demography and culture to this day.

The New Republic

Despite his popularity, King Pedro II was overthrown in a military coup in 1889, ending his 58 year reign and initiating six decades of political instability and economic difficulties. A series of military coups, failed attempts to restore stability, and the decline of Brazil's overseas influence contributed greatly to a weakened economy in the early 1900s. The 1930s saw the emergence of Getúlio Vargas, who ruled as a fascist dictator for two decades. Despite a growing economy and Brazil's alliance with the Allied Powers in the Second World War, the end of fascism in Europe weakened Vargas' position in Brazil, and he was eventually overthrown by the military, who then re-introduced democracy to Brazil in 1945. Vargas was then elected to power in 1951, and remained popular among the general public, however political opposition to his beliefs and methods led to his suicide in 1954. Further political instability ensued and a brutal, yet prosperous, military dictatorship took control in the 1960s and 1970s, but Brazil gradually returned to a democratic nation in the 1980s. Brazil's economic and political stability fluctuated over the subsequent four decades, and a corruption scandal in the 2010s saw the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. Despite all of this economic instability and political turmoil, Brazil is one of the world's largest economies and is sometimes seen as a potential superpower. The World Bank classifies it as a upper-middle income country and it has the largest share of global wealth in Latin America. It is the largest Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking), and sixth most populous country in the world, with a population of more than 210 million people.

Comparison of pvama1 genetic diversity among isolates from Brazil.

Reef fish communities were assessed using visual census techniques across 100 reefs spanning over 2.000 km of coastline. Each reef was considered a sample unit and species densities per 100 m² was used for calculating true diversity measures.

Diversity patterns were investigated using “true diversity” measures (sensu Jost 2006), considering the effective number of species equal to Hill numbers (qD). Values in dataset correspond to number of effective species per reef (α diversity, Dα), for q = 0, 1 and 2, using sampled area as weights. Each line represents a reef, labeled by a Code, followed by Brazilian State, Location name, Latitude, Longitude and Source of the species data. Predictors used for adjusting GLMs are presented next: Reef morphotype (categorical predictor), with five levels corresponding to Brazilian reef morphological structures (cemented terraces, fringing, patch, bank and pinnacle reefs, see Appendix S1 for a detailed description). Depth, as the average depth of the reef in meters, measured in situ, isolation, as the linear distance between the reef to the nearest point in mainland, are also presented.

Abstract Public libraries are in face a diverse public, and often oppressed. The proposal of a mediating action foresees a constant rapprochement with readers in order to promote internal policies and activities that seek the appropriation of information, respecting and favoring the diversity. This work starts from the question: have public libraries been supported by a legislation that promote and strengthen the cultural diversity? To answer is proposed an initial analysis of the legislation for Public Libraries of Brazil and Spain, seeking to mention of the diversity within the most general laws of each country. Qualitatively selected laws (for Brazil, the National Book Plan, Law No. 13,696, of July 12, 2018, which establishes the National Reading and Writing Policy, and the National Book and Reading Plan - PNLL and for Spain, the Regulation of Public Libraries of the State and of the Spanish System of Libraries - Royal Decree 582/1989, and the laws: Law 10/2007, Law 19/2006 and Law 5/2012) were analyzed using Discourses Analysis. After the analyzes, it was possible to identify, in the Brazilian case, that the documents assume a position of book, reading and writing that presents a "poetization" of access and ends up by disregarding the nuances of the appropriation. In the case of Spain, in the perspective of this study (even if in isolation), which not only bring the theme as relevant, but also present corresponding lines of action. It was concluded the predominance of the custodial paradigm and the insufficient recognition of cultural diversity as an impact factor in the legislations evaluated.

Abstract Knowledge about the Brazilian fungal diversity was, until 2010, recorded in few taxonomy and ecology publications, as well as in a handful of species lists. With the publication of the Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos do Brasil and the continued availability of an online list, it has been possible to aggregate this dispersed knowledge. The version presented here adds 2,111 species names to the 3,608 listed in 2010. A total of 5,719 species of fungi distributed in 1,246 genera, 102 orders and 13 phyla represents a considerable increase over the last five years, when only 924 genera and 78 orders were registered. Basidiomycota (2,741 species in 22 orders) and Ascomycota (1,881 species in 41 orders) predominate over other groups. The Atlantic Rainforest has the largest number of records, with 3,017 species, followed by Amazon Rainforest (1,050), Caatinga (999), Cerrado (638) and Pampa and Pantanal with 84 and 35 species, respectively. The Northeast region has the greatest richness (2,617 species), followed by Southeast (2,252), South (1,995), North (1,301) and Central-West (488 species). Regarding the States of the Federation, São Paulo with 1,846 species, Pernambuco with 1,611 and Rio Grande do Sul with 1,377 species are the most diverse.

Abstract: The development of our society has been based on the use of biodiversity, especially for nutrition, medicines and beauty. Brazil is the nation with the largest biodiversity in the world, with a rich chemical diversity, which is a potential source for bioeconomy. Considering the chemical and biological diversity of the Brazilian territory, we would like to highlight the value of secondary metabolites from Brazilian biodiversity with potential application for new products and technologies and the importance of scientific programs to support the sustainable use of biodiversity.

ABSTRACT The development of our society has been based on the use of biodiversity, especially for medicines and nutrition. Brazil is the nation with the largest biodiversity in the world accounting for more than 15% of all living species. The devastation of biodiversity in Brazil is critical and may not only cause the loss of species and genes that encode enzymes involved in the complex metabolism of organisms, but also the loss of a rich chemical diversity, which is a potential source for bioeconomy based on natural products and new synthetic derivatives. Bioeconomy focus on the use of bio-based products, instead of fossil-based ones and could address some of the important challenges faced by society. Considering the chemical and biological diversity of Brazil, this review highlights the Brazilian natural products that were successfully used to develop new products and the value of secondary metabolites from Brazilian biodiversity with potential application for new products and technologies. Additionally, we would like to address the importance of new technologies and scientific programs to support preservation policies, bioeconomy and strategies for the sustainable use of biodiversity.

Abstract This compilation of ferns and lycophytes in Brazil is an update of the one published in 2010 in Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos do Brasil. The methodology consisted in collecting data from regional checklists, taxonomic revisions, and selected databases. Invited specialists improved the list accessing a website housed at the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro. The results show 1,253 species: 1,111 of ferns and 142 of lycophytes. This number is 6.5% higher than the previous one (1,176 spp.). The percentage of endemic species decreased from 38.2% to 36.7%. We recognized 36 families and 133 genera (vs. 33 families, 121 genera in 2010). The 10 most diverse families are Pteridaceae (196 spp.), Dryopteridaceae (179), Polypodiaceae (164), Hymenophyllaceae (90), Thelypteridaceae (86), Aspleniaceae (78), Lycopodiaceae (64), Selaginellaceae (55), Anemiaceae (51), and Cyatheaceae (45). The three most diverse genera are still Elaphoglossum (87 spp.), Thelypteris (85), and Asplenium (74). The richest phytogeographic domain continues to be in the Atlantic Rainforest with 883 species which also has the largest number of endemic and threatened species, followed by the Amazon Rainforest (503), Cerrado (269), Pantanal (30), Caatinga (26), and Pampa (eight). Minas Gerais remains as the richest state (657 spp. vs. 580 in 2010).

The second table compiles previous studies on testate amoebae in the state of Rio de Janeiro, with its primary purpose being to document the collection methods used in each research effort. Data collection was conducted in April 2024 using the research databases Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and SciELO, with search keywords in both Portuguese and English: "Testate Amoebae," "Thecamoebian," "Zooplankton" combined with "Rio de Janeiro."

ABSTRACT This article aims to discuss the use of Africanity in school education. In particular the use of deities representations, which are worshiped in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and its possible functional similarity in the teaching practice with the Greek myths. Another objective of the narrative is to demonstrate the challenges for teaching diversity and ethnic-racial relations in Brazil as well as to evaluate a lesson plan of the History discipline held in a public high school in the city of Porto Alegre, the capital city of the State. In order to interpret the results of the lesson proposal, the reports produced by the students themselves were analyzed. By means of the method of content analysis proposed by Bardin (2009) in its qualitative aspects, having as documentary corpus the students’ records, we observed the interest and the motivation on the part of the students of the seven classes involved in the activity.

This dataset is part of a broader compilation named 'Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time' created from a research network of reef scientists within several projects and collaborations and finally gathered and published by the ReefSYN group.
