ABSTRACT The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others. publications problem uptodate up date classifications context exception (CTFB http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/, httpfaunajbrjgovbr http //fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ , jbrj gov br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/) 2015 Brazil 80 specialists 1 2024 133691 133 691 133,69 125138 125 138 125,13 82.3%, 823 82 3 (82.3% 102000 102 000 102,00 7.69%, 769 7 69 (7.69% 11000 11 11,00 . 3,567 3567 567 (3,56 2,292 2292 2 292 (2,29 1,833 1833 833 (1,83 1,447 1447 447 (1,44 1000 1,00 831 (83 628 (62 606 (60 520 (52 50 users science health biology law anthropology education others http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ faunajbrjgovbr //fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ 201 8 202 13369 13 133,6 12513 12 125,1 82.3% (82.3 10200 10 00 102,0 7.69% 76 6 (7.69 1100 11,0 3,56 356 56 (3,5 2,29 229 29 (2,2 1,83 183 83 (1,8 1,44 144 44 (1,4 100 1,0 (8 62 (6 60 52 (5 5 http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br 20 1336 133, 1251 125, 82.3 (82. 1020 0 102, 7.69 (7.6 110 11, 3,5 35 (3, 2,2 22 (2, 1,8 18 (1, 1,4 14 4 ( 82.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing choline chloride with a plant source of choline on the locomotor system, liver health, and development of breast myopathies in broilers aged 1-42 days of age. We allocated 1,120 one-day-old Cobb broilers to four treatment groups and fed them commercial diets based on corn and soybean meal. The treatments included choline in the form of 1,800.00 mg/kg choline chloride; 1,350.00 mg/kg choline chloride + 450.00 mg/kg herbal choline; 900.00 mg/kg choline chloride + 900.00 mg/kg herbal choline; and 1,000.00 mg/kg herbal choline. Each treatment group had eight replications. Throughout the experiment, gait score, footpad dermatitis, hock burn, and leg deformities (valgus and varus) were evaluated in the birds at 28 and 35 days of age. After slaughter, parameters such as breast myopathies, tibial dyschondroplasia score, and histological slides of the pectoral muscle, liver, and proximal tibial epiphysis were assessed. The results demonstrated good hepatic and locomotor health in the broilers, as no classical signs of choline deficiency were observed. Statistical analyses indicated no significant differences between treatments in terms of liver and locomotor health, suggesting that broilers fed diets supplemented with the plant source did not experience choline deficiency. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were found between treatments regarding breast myopathies. Overall, the tested choline plant source can effectively replace choline chloride in broiler diets. system 142 1 42 1-4 age 1120 120 1,12 onedayold one day old meal 180000 800 00 1,800.0 mgkg mg kg 135000 350 1,350.0 45000 450 450.0 90000 900 900.0 100000 000 1,000.0 replications experiment score dermatitis burn valgus varus 2 3 slaughter muscle assessed observed Additionally Overall 14 4 1- 112 12 1,1 18000 80 0 1,800. 13500 1,350. 4500 45 450. 9000 90 900. 10000 1,000. 11 1, 1800 8 1,800 1350 1,350 9 1000 1,000 180 1,80 135 1,35 100 1,00 18 1,8 13 1,3 10 1,0

Levantamentos da avifauna urbana no Brasil tem aumentado nos últimos anos, embora nenhum deles consista de estudos a longo prazo que indiquem eventos de colonizações regionais ou desaparecimento de espécies. Neste estudo, apresentamos um levantamento da avifauna de um ecossistema urbano do sudeste brasileiro, efetuado ao longo de 30 anos, no campus da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, município de Belo Horizonte, estado de Minas Gerais. Dentro do campus há uma pequena reserva florestal adjacente a um pequeno lago. O inventário foi baseado principalmente em registros aleatórios ao longo de 1982-2013. Foram registradas 134 espécies de aves neste período. Entretanto, a avifauna atual é composta por 123 espécies. Um total de 97 espécies foi registrado na reserva, representada pelo fragmento florestal e pelo lago adjacente, das quais 44 foram exclusivas a esta área. Todavia, a maior parte das espécies de aves que ocorrem atualmente na área de estudo é independente (N = 51) ou semi-dependente (N = 46) de florestas. Há um predomínio de espécies insetívoras (N = 43) e onívoras (N = 29). A avifauna atual é representada por 15 espécies migratórias, que podem ser encontradas tanto na área urbanizada quanto no remanescente florestal. Entretanto, a maioria das espécies (N = 75) é residente na área, incluindo três invasoras, enquanto outras (N = 28) são representadas por visitantes ocasionais. O restante das espécies foi possivelmente introduzido na área. Houve 11 casos de desaparecimento de espécies, que incluem espécies típicas de matas, áreas úmidas e ambientes rurais. Também comentamos sobre colonizações recentes e sobre possíveis efeitos do isolamento nas aves. Provavelmente, a maior parte das espécies dependentes de florestas está próxima à extinção local no fragmento florestal. Assim, o presente levantamento pode ser útil como uma base de informações para monitoramentos de longo prazo sobre os efeitos da urbanização sobre esta comunidade de aves.

Urban avifaunal surveys in Brazil have been increasing in recent years, despite none of them consisting of long-term studies indicating events of regional colonization and/or missing species. Here, we present an avifaunal survey of an urbanized ecosystem in southeastern Brazil, carried out along 30 years, on the campus of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, municipality of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state. Inside the campus there is a forest reserve adjacent to a small lake. The inventory was mainly based on opportunistic records from the years 1982-2013. We recorded 134 bird species along the past 30 years. However, the present avifauna is composed of 123 species. A total of 97 species was recorded in the reserve, including the forest fragment and the adjacent lake, of which 44 were exclusive to this area. Nevertheless, the majority of the current species found in the study area is forest independent (N = 51) or semi-dependent (N = 46). There is a predominance of insectivorous (N = 43) and omnivorous (N = 29) species. The current avifauna is represented by 15 migratory species, which can be found both in the urbanized area and in the forest remnant. However, the majority of the species (N = 75) is resident in the area, including three invasive species, whereas few others (N = 28) are occasional visitors. The remaining species were probably introduced in the area. There were 11 cases of disappearing species, which include typical forest birds, and also species typical of wetlands and rural environments. We also comment on recent colonization and on the possible effects of isolation on birds. Probably, the majority of forest-dependents are on the brink of extinction in the forest fragment. Thus, the species' list provided here can be useful as a database for monitoring long-term effects of urbanization on this bird community.
