The ‘Aquatic Habitat Conservation in South America’ Symposium occurred during the XXI Brazilian Society of Ichthyology Meeting. The proceedings were published as a special issue in the Journal of Fish Biology (vol. 89, Number 1, June 2016). In this special issue, authors provided an analytical overview of problems faced by the conservation of fishes and aquatic habitats of South America. Habitat loss emerged as the greatest concern for all South American aquatic ecosystems, with a long list of causes related to unsustainable development models. Based on this finding, we would like to extend this topic to other continents, different climates, fauna and flora around the world. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of variables that influence flora and fauna distributions and shape their ecological interactions within aquatic ecosystems
"The result of nearly 20 years of interdisciplinary research, this volume contributes to the archaeological and paleoenvironmental knowledge of an important but lightly investigated, hyperarid coastline at the heart of the Sonoran Desert. Focused on the coast near Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico, it examines the diverse groups occupying the coast for salt, abundant food sources, and shells for ornament manufacturing"--
Traz uma breve análise sobre a crise hídrica ocorrida em 2014 e avalia o grau de implantação dos instrumentos de Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, após dezoito anos do advento da Lei das Águas, incluindo a discussão sobre seus aspectos positivos e negativos. O documento foi organizado a partir do resultado de uma consulta pública e de informações e sugestões advindas de diversos especialistas, em palestras realizadas na Câmara dos Deputados. Ao final, o estudo propõe acréscimos e alterações de dispositivos pontuais da Lei nº 9.433/1997, com a finalidade de suprir omissões e corrigir imperfeições.

The Ju/’hoan San, or Ju/’hoansi, of Namibia and Botswana are perhaps the most fully described indigenous people in all of anthropology. This is the story of how this group of former hunter-gatherers, speaking an exotic click language, formed a grassroots movement that led them to become a dynamic part of the new nation that grew from the ashes of apartheid South West Africa. While coverage of this group in the writings of Richard Lee, Lorna Marshall, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, and films by John Marshall includes extensive information on their traditional ways of life, this book continues the story as it has unfolded since 1990. Peopled with accounts of and from contemporary Ju>/’hoan people, the book gives newly-literate Ju/’hoansi the chance to address the world with their own voices. In doing so, the images and myths of the Ju/’hoan and other San (previously called “Bushmen”) as either noble savages or helpless victims are discredited. This important book demonstrates the responsiveness of current anthropological advocacy to the aspirations of one of the best-known indigenous societies.
Faz parte da vida dos pesquisadores, de forma geral, pensar em formas de devolver para suas comunidades de estudos as pesquisas realizadas. E quando se trata de uma investigação sobre fãs de super-heróis? Por que não uma história em quadrinhos? Foi exatamente a partir de raciocínio, originado em uma reunião de grupo de pesquisa, que nasceu o projeto "Caçadora de fãs: uma aventura acadêmica", uma história em quadrinhos para contar a trajetória dessa pesquisa. Da dissertação de mestrado de Larissa Becko, intitulada "Desvendando o fã de Super-Heróis: performances, práticas de consumo e identidades", defendida em março de 2019, adveio a parceria com o ilustrador Thiago Krening e com o roteirista Fabio Mesmo. O desafio: popularizar o conhecimento acadêmico de forma irreverente e divertidíssima.
