Resumo: As bibliotecas dos escritores com frequência fornecem detalhes em relação às suas produções, pois acabam por revelar e alargar a compreensão de algumas influências que, de modo geral, não seriam nítidas em suas obras; muitas vezes, são inspirações provenientes também do momento histórico, sobretudo naqueles que viveram em épocas de profundas transformações. Este artigo tem por objetivo mostrar a influência de Friedrich Nietzsche na vida e em parte das obras de Aldo Palazzeschi produzidas e publicadas na primeira metade do século XX.

Resumo: em 1881-1882, o pensamento de Nietzsche o levou a elaborar seu conceito de vontade de potência e a ideia do perspectivismo, mesmo que o termo ainda não apareça sob sua pena. No presente artigo nós pretendemos mostrar que a ideia de pôr em perspectiva diversas idiossincrasias intelectuais está no coração mesmo da compreensão nietzschiana do perspectivismo, precisamente uma vez que ele reflete sobre a natureza da história no confronto com Emerson e sobre a natureza da evolução ao que descobre Wilhelm Roux.

Resumo: É conhecida a importância fundamental de Shakespeare para as artes e para o debate estético alemão nos séculos XVIII e XIX. O drama de Shakespeare foi apontado entre os alemães como uma verdadeira revolução cultural, o exemplo do gênio original em que deviam se mirar caso quisessem se desvencilhar das amarras do classicismo francês e desvendar sua própria originalidade. Este artigo pretende mostrar como Nietzsche dá continuidade a essa leitura ao apontar o drama shakespeariano também como um acontecimento que tinha a importância de uma revolução cultural entre os alemães. Shakespeare era o “Sócrates musicante”, o sinal do despertar do gênio trágico em solo alemão.

Resumo: A figura de Dionísio assume diversas feições ao longo da obra de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). A questão do dionisíaco, tão instável nos trabalhos do autor alemão, vai suscitar o interesse de intérpretes brasileiros quando o futebol estiver sob observação. O propósito deste artigo é discutir apropriações feitas nesse sentido a partir dos conceitos do filósofo desde a primeira metade do século XX. Comentadores e o próprio autor reconhecem que há inflexões a respeito desse tema na obra nietzschiana. O debate adquire outro grau de complexidade no momento que é levada em consideração a ampla circulação dos elementos futebolísticos no Brasil, sua estreita ligação com a identidade nacional e com a cultural popular no país.

Resumo: O artigo analisa o desenvolvimento da relação existente entre arte, ciência e filosofia no pensamento do jovem Nietzsche. Para tanto, recorre-se especialmente à consulta dosFragmentos Póstumosentre os anos de 1872 a 1875, possibilitando destacar os seguintes pontos: primeiro, a descoberta da filosofia pré-platônica como exemplo de conciliação das forças artística e científica e, segundo, a contribuição desses escritos para observância emHumano, demasiado humano(1878) da tipologia do “médico da cultura”, cuja função, similar a dos filósofos jônicos, será a de restaurar no mundo moderno a harmonia das mesmas pulsões, garantindo a manutenção de uma cultura elevada.

Resumo: O presente trabalho se propõe a pensar a questão da liberdade na filosofia de Nietzsche. Seria possível pensar a liberdade a partir da crítica radical ao livre-arbítrio e à moral feita pelo filósofo? Para isto, partiremos da caracterização da vontade de potência, entendida como expressão imediata de força e sempre em direção ao crescimento, para depois pensá-la em relação às ações humanas, entendendo que essas obedecem à mesma lógica. Por fim, a questão da liberdade será entendida enquanto proposta de fortalecimento e engrandecimento de si a partir de sua própria vontade e não de algum valor moral ou regra social.

The subfamily Corinninae is characterized and diagnosed. Two synapomorphies are hypothesized for the subfamily, both regarding the male palpal reservoir, which is primarily coiled and presents a sclerotized distal sector.

The yellow passion Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg. is allogamous, self incompatible, and it depends of insects pollinators to disseminate the pollen grains. The field work was conducted at Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from October 17 to November 9 and December 12 to 21, 1995. It was analyzed 1565 flower buds, from which 423 showed well developed ovaries, five days after opening, this represents 27% of fruit set by natural pollination. It was observed 76,86 % of completely curved flowers, 21,22 % of partially curved flowers, and 1,92 % flowers without curvature. Five species of bees where observed on the flowers, from which two were the effective pollinator of yellow passion flower: Xylocopa (Megaxylocopa) frontalis (Olivier, 1789) and X. (Neoxylocopa) ordinaria Smith, 1874.

The acini of pelvian glands of Chaetophractus villosus (Desmarest, 1804) consisted of an inner layer of secretory cells and an outer layer of myoepithelial cells. Secretory cells have numerous secretory vacuoles. The secretion is released by exocytosis. Myoepithelial cells have numerous myofilaments that occupy much of the cytoplasm. There is a third cell type with an extremely electron-lucent cytoplasm.

The genus Lissonoschema Martins & Monné is redefined and L. solangeae sp. nov. is described from Brazil (Mato Grosso). A key to the three species is added.

The tadpole of Odontophrynus salvatori Caramaschi, 1996 is described from Chapada dos Veadeiros, State of Goiás, Brazil. The tadpole resembles those of the genus Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920, mostly by depressive body in lateral view, small body size, and habitat use.

The rhythm of movements and feeding activity of juveniles of Loricariichthys anus (Valenciennes, 1840) in the Quadros lake, South Brazil, are investigated. Between October 1997 and August 1998, 236 specimens were captured during six bimonthly 24 hour gillnet surveys. Significantly elevated levels of movement and feeding activity during the day are registered. The patterns of movement and feeding activity displayed no significant difference, suggesting that high movement activity levels can be attributed to feeding activity. The mean of the intestinal quotient was 1,89, indicating omnivorous feeding habits.

The hummingbird Amazilia lactea (Lesson, 1832) built a nest in São Paulo, Brazil, in the spring (Oct) and added lichens during incubation. The female incubated over 70 per cent of the day, 1-56 min per visit, and brooded two small young somewhat less; brooding stopped by about 10 days of age, as did night brooding. Lack of night brooding for large young hummingbirds may reflect lack of space in a small nest. Young stayed in the nest 19 days. Feedings were widely spaced, and presence of possible predators caused alarm.

Cephalobium bidentatum sp. nov., parasitizing nymphs of Gryllodes laplatae Sauss (Orthoptera, Gryllidae) from Argentina, is described and illustrated. It is distinguished from other members of the genus Cephalobium COBB, 1920, by having the buccal cavity very sclerotized with two hook-shaped teeth, vagina short and muscular, male has two spicules with hook-shaped tips, and by the distribution pattern of the postanal papillae: one pair under the anus, three pairs between the anus and the tail, and two pairs at the base of the tail appendage.

The reproduction of Bothrops jararaca (Wied, 1824) in captivity in ordened to determine the intercourse period, births, number of neonates, proportion of males and females per litter were performed between 1989 and 1999. Fifty eight females were observed, 16 intercourses in captivity, 45 females arrived already fertilized from nature and 53 litters, resulting on the birth of 426 live neonates, 67 infertile egg masses, 18 stillborn neonates and 4 abnormal neonates. The intercourse period was from february to december and the births happened between february and may. From the two gestacional periods observed, the shortest one was 152 days and the longest 239. The average amount of live neonates per litter was 8,04. Among 323 neonates, 47,68% were males and 52,32% were females. During the first year of life, 75,71% of the females and 71,54% of the males died, and 2,31% of the females and 0,81% of the males reached the fifth year of life.

The developmental degree of the wax glands was compared in four Meliponini bees, that produce different quantities of wax. The histological data and height average of the wax epithelium during the time in which the maximum production of wax is expected, are in accordance with the rates of wax produced by the species. In Lestrimelitta limao (Smith, 1863) a species which has cleptobiotic habits, and frequently rob wax from the attacked colonies, the height of wax epithelium was the lowest among the studied species. The cells seem to show an abnormal vacuolated cytoplasm, in the phase in which they would be producing wax.

During two consecutive years, from January 1985 to December 1986, a comparative study of mosquitoes preferences for breeding habitat was carried out in the Atlantic Forest of the Serra do Mar, Paraná State, Brazil. To achieve it, 1875 bamboo internodes aligned vertically in live green, bamboo plants Merostachys speciosa Munro and Merostachys sp. were used, in which metabolic water was exuded from the plant itself, and presenting different size/pattern holes at their lateral walls, bored by the local sylvan fauna. Another group of 1200 individual internode traps was used as comparative element, carved out with a transversal cut by a saw, filled with local stream water and held in branches at different heights in the vegetal strata nearby. At both microhabitat types, a total of 17 culicid species was registered. Culex (Microculex) neglectus Lutz, 1904, Cx. (Carrollia) soperi Antunes & Lane, 1937, Sabethes (Sabethes) batesi Lane & Cerqueira, 1942 and Sa. (Sabethinus) melanonymphe (Dyar, 1924)colonized exclusively live plant internodes, while Culex (Microculex) elongatus Rozeboom & Lane, 1950, Cx. (Carrollia) iridescens (Lutz, 1905), Cx. (Carrollia) kompi Valencia,1973and Trichoprosopon (Trichoprosopon) soaresi Dyar & Knab, 1907 bred only in internode traps. The remaining nine species colonized both habitats indistinctly. Quantitatively, was detected the abundance of 60.1% at live green internodes, against 39.9% for internode traps. Concerning the different patterns of bored live internode holes, 40.3% of the total computed specimens were collected in square or rectangular holes, 31.9% in two hole internodes, one minute circular, the other wider, and the remaining 28.8% of specimens distributed in other pattern type internodes. The mosquitoes breeding at these microhabitats fall in the culicid entomofauna specialized at locating and detecting peculiar and propitious mesogen conditions for breeding purposes.

New taxa described: Cometessoledari (Bolivia, Beni), Paracometesamabilis (Costa Rica), P. pojuca (Brasil, Pará) and Aiurasyma gen. nov., type-species, A. potira sp. nov. (Colombia).
