Summary: A new earwig species, Mecomera ze sp. nov., from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest is described based on specimens from Piracicaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil. It shares similarities in pygidium shape with M. chacoensis but can be differentiated by the flattened projections and different emargination patterns. The species also resembles M. reichardti in cerci length, but displays differences in basal and middle projection characteristics. Comparisons were made with the male genitalia of all species.

Summary: The seasonal variation in tropical and subtropical systems affects bird species differently based on their resource use. However, knowledge about the drivers of species presence and abundance during different seasons is still limited for most tropical bird species. This study examines bird community seasonality in the Atlantic Rainforest, one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, in three forest types subjected to varying climatic conditions. The research reveals seasonal changes in bird composition related to diet and foraging strata, with invertivores more prevalent in winter and frugivores less prevalent in the forest type with colder winters.

Summary: A new species, Abuta alto-macahensis, is described and depicted in this study, which is restricted to the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. It bears morphological resemblance to Abuta rufescens, but can be distinguished by its adpressed tomentose leaf blades on the abaxial side, and glabrous drupelets measuring >= 5 cm in length. Additionally, taxonomic notes, preliminary conservation status, an identification key, and a distribution map for this new species are provided.

Summary: A new species of Eugenia called Eugenia aeterna is described and illustrated in this study. It is found in the Ombrophilous Forest of the Atlantic Forest Domain in Sao Paulo state, Brazil. The species is similar to Eugenia ligustrina and E. longipedunculata, but differs in terms of persistent cataphylls, puberulent or pilose hypanthium, and reflexed and appressed calyx lobes. The species is classified as Least Concern according to the IUCN red list criteria. A distribution map is also provided.

Summary: Dryadella catharinensis is a new orchid species found in the north-northeast part of Santa Catarina state, Brazil, similar to Dryadella susanae but differing in several characteristics. Due to its rarity and low population density in the Atlantic Rainforest, the conservation status of Endangered is recommended for this species. Further fieldwork is necessary to locate additional populations and study biological aspects for conservation.
