We describe seven encounters between different harpy eagle individuals (Harpia harpyja) and a group of yellow-breasted capuchin monkeys (Sapajus xanthosternos) in Una Biological Reserve. These interactions lasted 58 min on average. In each of those encounters, the capuchin monkeys used particular behavioral strategies against the harpy eagle that were not employed in reaction to other aerial predators. We did not observe any successful predation events, but after one of those encounters an infant disappeared from the capuchin group. As a whole, these observations indicate that the presence of harpy eagles in the group's home range increases predation risk for capuchin monkeys. The present report also suggests a reoccupation by H. harpyja of this area, as no previous recent records identify harpy eagle occurrence in Una Biological Reserve.
The study of personality in nonhuman primates has increased substantially, but most studies so far have been conducted with captive animals. In addition, few studies investigated the personality of Neotropical (Platyrrhini) monkeys. If we aim at investigating the ecological and social significance of personality in nonhuman primates, conducting studies of wild populations and covering a wide range of taxa is essential. In this study, we analyzed the personality structure of a wild group of Neotropical monkeys, the yellow-breasted capuchin (Sapajus xanthosternos). We adopted two widespread methods: trait rating, using the Hominoid Personality Questionnaire, and behavioral coding, analyzing 13 behaviors and 3 derived variables. We described 3 traits with trait rating, labeled Openness–Neuroticism, Assertiveness, and Attentiveness–Sociability. We also described 3 traits with behavioral coding, labeled Prosociality, Aggressiveness, and Reactivity to Humans. Comparing both methods we found not only broad convergences between the structures obtained (e.g., both showed prosocial and aggressive traits) but also some differences (e.g., Openness–Neuroticism was not clearly defined with behavioral coding), concluding that combining both methods provided complementary findings. Some socioecological variables seem to influence the expression of personality in captive versus wild living monkeys. For example, in our study, assertive individuals were more vigilant, whereas in the studies in captivity, neurotic individuals were more vigilant. These questions highlight the need for more research in wild conditions and enlarging the number of species and populations studied.
RESUMOEste estudo propõe apresentar discussões do Self (autoconsciência) da personagem na obra Crime e castigo de Dostoiévski, a partir da noção de polifonia proposta por Bakhtin. Uma análise de polifonia e seus aspectos em torno dos personagens dostoievskianos é realizada, verificando-se a questão da equipolência das vozes dos personagens, a sua simultaneidade e interação, bem como a noção de autoconsciência como elementos que compõem o espectro da polifonia de Bakhtin. Tais concepções podem ser ampliadas para a compreensão do Self na relação eu-outro. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Bakhtin; Dostoiévski; Polifonia; Self ABSTRACT This paper proposes to present discussions of the Self (self-awareness)
Resumo: Este artigo trata do emprego dos quadrinhos digitais Pixton como material de estudo para os elementos textuais coesão e coerência numa perspectiva que coaduna as relações textuais reiteração e conexão (ANTUNES, 2005) as quatro metarregras da coerência de Charolles (1978). Nele discorremos sobre uma atividade interventiva junto a 8 professores de uma escola pública estadual de Pernambuco, cuja intervenção compreendeu duas oficinas pedagógicas que tiveram a finalidade de analisar em HQs Pixton, elaboradas pelos professores que participantes da pesquisa, os elementos coesivos e a relação deles com o processamento da coerência textual. Palavras-chaves: quadrinhos digitais Pixton; elementos textuais coesão e coerência; atividade interventiva; professores.Abstract : This article deals with the use of Pixton digital comics as a study material for the textual elements cohesion and coherence in a perspective that fits textual relations of reiteration and connection (ANTUNES, 2005) the four metarregras of the coherence of Charolles (1978). In it we talked about an intervention activity with 8 teachers from a state public school in Pernambuco. The intervention comprised two pedagogical workshops that had the purpose of producing Pixton HQs and then analyzing the cohesive elements and their relationship with the processing of textual coherence.
