Summary: The Preto River in Brazil's Minas Gerais is crucial for the socioenvironmental dynamics of the region, with its headwaters in the Southern Espinhaco Mountain Range. A study on its paleoenvironmental reconstruction over the past 23,300 years revealed periods of cooler, drier environments in the Late Pleistocene, transitioning to warmer, humid conditions in the Late Holocene. The analysis highlighted the importance of peatland ecosystems in understanding landscape evolution and Cerrado biome history.

Summary: A new species of Krenakanthus, K. ribeiranus, is described as a member of the bromelioid Cryptanthoid complex found in the poorly explored Joao Pinto Center of Biodiversity in Brazil. The unique combination of morphological characters of K. ribeiranus, including delicate plant structure and covered leaf and flower parts, validates and strengthens the diagnostic flower characters used in the circumscription of Krenakanthus. The species is critically endangered, emphasizing the need for biodiversity protection strategies.

Summary: Biological surveys are crucial for understanding species diversity and conservation, and this study provides important insights into the stink bugs and allied groups (Pentatomoidea) in the Brazilian Pampa. The research presents a comprehensive list of 152 Pentatomoidea species, including their abundance and distribution in the Parque Estadual de Itapua (PEI) after five years of sampling. The study highlights the higher richness of Pentatomidae and identifies the most abundant species in PEI, contributing to a baseline for future studies in this biome.

Summary: In this study, neotropical primates in Brazil were sampled to investigate potential SARS-CoV-2 infection, yet no evidence was found. This suggests that NP may not be carriers of the virus. However, expanding wildlife sampling is crucial for understanding the role of animals in the transmission of potentially zoonotic pathogens in environments shared with humans.

Summary: In this article, we analyze the schooling and professional trajectory of 14 men who studied at Ouro Preto Normal School in Minas Gerais, Brazil between 1877 and 1889. Most of them became teachers in elementary and high schools, although a few did not pursue teaching-related professions. The data shows that five of these teachers were exclusively dedicated to elementary teaching, which helps us to understand the situation in the late 19th century.
