The question is important because if R2P was no longer controversial, this would suggest that the principle is on track to consolidation as an international norm. The article assesses the impact of sixteen years of sustained R2P advocacy and its influence on arguments within the scholarly community, and discusses the impact this engagement has had on the outline and substance of the principle itself. A survey of the development of the academic debate since 2005 suggests that the 'responsibility to protect' has successfully replaced 'humanitarian intervention' in the international discourse, but that the principle remains controversial, especially beyond the policy community, particularly in the world of academe, with the humanitarian aid sector and religious organisations, as well as with states with a colonial past.

O presente estudo analisou a avifauna no campus da UNOPAR em Arapongas de novembro de 2008 a outubro de 2009. Foram observadas 38 espécies de aves pertencentes a 21 famílias. Observou-se também o comportamento alimentar de todas as espécies encontradas no local, sendo que os insetívoros predominaram. Do total de espécies observadas, 12 apresentaram comportamento reprodutivo. A comparação deste estudo com outros trabalhos conclui que o Campus da UNOPAR em Arapongas abriga uma diversidade de aves tolerantes às alterações ambientais e que são necessárias medidas de melhorias ecológicas do campus.

Abstract This research intents to characterize the " Eixo de Animação Arthur Bernardes " in Curitiba, Paraná, regarding the vegetation and its insertion in the studied area landscape. For that conducts a floristic survey above all the tree species (number of species and individuals) and identify their distributions patterns by spatial environmental mapping – GIS. The green areas characterization corroborates with these areas management, ensuring that no inadequate relation between species and environment occurs making impracticable these areas to exist inside the city. The studied area has about 40.000 m² and a 1.800 m length where 1081 individuals and 73 different species, amongst Magnoliophytes and Pinophyta, where found. Concerning this species origin, this research found Brazilian natives and Curitiba´s natives trees, but also found exotic and invader exotic trees.

St.-Hil is a carnivorous plant that grows in Brazilian flooded soils very poor on nutrients, including low levels of N. Under these conditions, the plant shows vigorous growth, low root number, low number of captured prey (less than 50%) and a great assemblage of bacteria associated with the roots and leaves that grow in N-free medium. These preliminary results have led us to investigate the number of colony forming units (log CFU) in the roots (rhizosphere and endorhizosphere) and leaves (phyllosphere and endophyllosphere) of D. villosa var. villosa by the tenfold serial dilution technique in two N-free culture media. The results showed that the phyllosphere had 6.65 log CFU g dry leaf -1 and the rhizosphere 6.47 log CFU g dry soil -1 , with the lowest value detected in the endophyllosphere (4.39 log CFU g dry leaf -1 ). Sixty-three different bacteria morphotypes were isolated from the surface and interior of the roots and leaves and the amplification of the DNA with specific primers detected the nifH gene in 34 of those strains. The DNAs of the 34 strains were compared by the BOX-PCR technique and a great diversity was observed, with the bacteria clustering at a final level of similarity of only 12%. The strains were also submitted to the partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and several genera of N 2 -fixing bacteria were detected, including Bacillus, Burkholderia, Methylobacterium, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas.

They are annual,or most communly, perennial herbs known as carnivorous plants, whose leaves are transformed into traps for the capture and digestion of small insects as an adaptation for supplying nutricional deficiencies. They usually occur in distrophic substrata. In order to contribute to conservation plans for the species of the genus, threatened by the conversion of the natural grasslands into pastures, we tried to define their preferential habitats and climatic requirements. We verified that the variables of microhabitat and altitude presented significant correlation at 5% probability level, while the variables in annual average relative humidity, annual average temperature and type of substratum types did not show significant correlation.

This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora.

Para tanto realiza levantamento florístico de todas as espécies arbóreas (número de espécies e indivíduos) e identifica padrões de distribuição das mesmas, por meio de análise espacial em ambiente SIG. A caracterização das áreas verdes vem de encontro com a gestão das mesmas para que problemas como o de espécies inadequadas a determinadas áreas não venham a inviabilizar a existência dessas áreas verdes na cidade. A área de estudo tem cerca de 40.000 m² e um comprimento de aproximadamente 1.800 m. e nela foram encontradas 1081 indivíduos e 73 diferentes espécies entre Magnoliófitas e Pinófitas, quanto a origem houve espécies nativas do Brasil, nativas de Curitiba, exóticas e exóticas invasoras. Com 59% das espécies e 71% dos indivíduos as nativas do Brasil são as mais recorrentes, sete espécies concentram 42,7% de todos os indivíduos enquanto 35 espécies aparecem no eixo de animação com menos de cinco indivíduos. Três diferentes padrões de distribuição foram encontrados. A análise dos dados permite afirmar que não há parâmetros e critérios para o plantio de árvores no " Eixo de Animação Arthur Bernardes ". Abstract This research intents to characterize the " Eixo de Animação Arthur Bernardes " in Curitiba, Paraná, regarding the vegetation and its insertion in the studied area landscape. For that conducts a floristic survey above all the tree species (number of species and individuals) and identify their distributions patterns by spatial environmental mapping – GIS. The green areas characterization corroborates with these areas management, ensuring that no inadequate relation between species and environment occurs making impracticable these areas to exist inside the city. The studied area has about 40.000 m² and a 1.800 m length where 1081 individuals and 73 different species, amongst Magnoliophytes and Pinophyta, where found. Concerning this species origin, this research found Brazilian natives and Curitiba´s natives trees, but also found exotic and invader exotic trees.

O presente estudo analisou a avifauna no campus da UNOPAR em Arapongas de novembro de 2008 a outubro de 2009. Foram observadas 38 espécies de aves pertencentes a 21 famílias. Observou-se também o comportamento alimentar de todas as espécies encontradas no local, sendo que os insetívoros predominaram. Do total de espécies observadas, 12 apresentaram comportamento reprodutivo. A comparação deste estudo com outros trabalhos conclui que o Campus da UNOPAR em Arapongas abriga uma diversidade de aves tolerantes às alterações ambientais e que são necessárias medidas de melhorias ecológicas do campus.

St.-Hil is a carnivorous plant that grows in Brazilian flooded soils very poor on nutrients, including low levels of N. Under these conditions, the plant shows vigorous growth, low root number, low number of captured prey (less than 50%) and a great assemblage of bacteria associated with the roots and leaves that grow in N-free medium. These preliminary results have led us to investigate the number of colony forming units (log CFU) in the roots (rhizosphere and endorhizosphere) and leaves (phyllosphere and endophyllosphere) of D. villosa var. villosa by the tenfold serial dilution technique in two N-free culture media. The results showed that the phyllosphere had 6.65 log CFU g dry leaf -1 and the rhizosphere 6.47 log CFU g dry soil -1 , with the lowest value detected in the endophyllosphere (4.39 log CFU g dry leaf -1 ). Sixty-three different bacteria morphotypes were isolated from the surface and interior of the roots and leaves and the amplification of the DNA with specific primers detected the nifH gene in 34 of those strains. The DNAs of the 34 strains were compared by the BOX-PCR technique and a great diversity was observed, with the bacteria clustering at a final level of similarity of only 12%. The strains were also submitted to the partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and several genera of N 2 -fixing bacteria were detected, including Bacillus, Burkholderia, Methylobacterium, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas.

They are annual,or most communly, perennial herbs known as carnivorous plants, whose leaves are transformed into traps for the capture and digestion of small insects as an adaptation for supplying nutricional deficiencies. They usually occur in distrophic substrata. In order to contribute to conservation plans for the species of the genus, threatened by the conversion of the natural grasslands into pastures, we tried to define their preferential habitats and climatic requirements. We verified that the variables of microhabitat and altitude presented significant correlation at 5% probability level, while the variables in annual average relative humidity, annual average temperature and type of substratum types did not show significant correlation.
