A Bibliographic Summary on Hymenopteran Parasitoids Collected in Biomes in Brazil | Chapter 05 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 4

 Our biomes and morphoclimatic domains are significant not just as natural resources in our country, but also as globally significant natural resource ecosystems. Parasitoids are extremely small insects that spend part of their lives inside their hosts. This host is usually another insect (usually an agricultural pest) that dies as a result of parasitism. The purpose of this research is to describe parasitoids found in Brazilian biomes. The brief review is a bibliographic summary of parasitoids from the Order Hymenoptera that were collected in the biomes listed below in Brazil. The research focused on the quantitative characteristics of the superfamily, family, subfamilies, genera, and species in studies linked to the theme (Taxonomic groups). A bibliographic search was conducted for publications published between 2006 and May 2021. From June to August 2021, the small review was conducted in Goiânia, Goiás, using the Electronic Scientific Library Online (Scielo) and the internet. Brazilian biomes are significant not only as natural resources in our country, but also as global hotspots of natural richness. Brazil is one of the few countries in the world where biological megadiversity, or major ecosystems, is still alive and well.

Outdoor Radon Measurements during 2018 in São José dos Campos, Brazil: Scientific Approach | Chapter 8 | Theory and Applications of Physical Science Vol. 4

During 2018 the intensity and its variation in time were monitored, every hour the presence of radon gas in two distinct points near each other in São José dos Campos, Brazil. One point was situated 25 meters high (ACA tower) and the other 3 meters high (ITA laboratory). Two identical RadonEye RD200 (ionization chamber) detectors were used calibrated in picoCurie/liter (pCi/l) or Bequerel/cubic meters (Bq / m3). These measurements indicate that there is always a (day/night) variation in the intensity of the local radon gas presence. With dry and hot periods, there is increasing in radon gas intensity. Intense rains during short period of time, there is also increasing in presence of the radon gas in that site. Fine and continuous rains provoke decrease in the presence of radon gas measured in the place. Comparisons between radon gas intensities per hour with gamma and neutron changes between (0-10) MeV of energy at the same time interval were observed.
