Introduction: Land use intensification and urbanisation processes are degrading hydrological ecosystem services in the Guapi-Macacu watershed of Rio de Janeiro. A proposal to pay farmers to restore natural watershed services might be an alternative to securing the water supply in the long-term for the around 2.5 million urban water users in the study region. This study quantifies the costs of changing current land use patterns to enhance watershed services and compares these costs to the avoided costs associated with water treatment for public supply. Methods: We use farm-household data to estimate the opportunity costs of abandoning current land uses for the recovery of natural vegetation; a process that is very likely to improve water quality in terms of turbidity due to reduced inputs from erosion. Opportunity cost estimates are extrapolated to the watershed scale based on remote sensing land use classifications and vulnerability analysis to identify priority zones for watershed management interventions. To assess the potential demand for watershed services, we analyse water quality and treatment cost data from the main local water treatment plant. Results: Changing agricultural land uses for watershed services provision generally comes at high opportunity costs in our study area near to the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro. Alternative low cost watershed conservation options do exist in the livestock production sector. These options have the potential to directly reduce the amount of sediments and nutrients reaching the water bodies, and in turn decrease the costs of treatment needed for drinking water. Land cover changes at the scale needed to improve water quality will, nonetheless, likely exceed the cost of additional investments in water treatment. Conclusions: The state water utility company?s willingness to pay for watershed services alone will not be enough to induce provision of additional watershed services. We conclude that monetary incentives conditioned on specific adjustments to existing production systems could still have a complementary role to play in improving watershed services. However, we note that our willingness to pay analysis focusses on only one of the potentially wide range of ecosystem services provided by natural vegetation in the Guapi-Macacu watershed. Factoring these ecosystem services into the willingness to pay equation is likely to change our assessment in favour of additional conservation action, be it through PES or other policy instruments.

Abstract: The success of IVF and subsequent development of embryos are directly related to sperm selection and quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different forces and time of centrifugation in mini-Percoll (MP) techniques for sperm selection on capacitation status and plasma membrane (PM) integrity of ram frozen-thawed sperm. Commercial semen from 10 rams of Santa Inês breed, aging 2-5 years old, were used. At post-thawing (PT), the PM integrity was evaluated by CASA using the SCA® system (Sperm Class Analyzer ? Microptic Automatic Diagnostic Systems, Barcelona, Spain). For traditional Percoll (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, USA), a 2 mL-gradient (90/45% density) was subjected to a 700 x g centrifugation for 10 min followed by 200 x g for 5 min. The MP techniques consisted in an 800 µL-gradient (90/45% density) subjected to either: I) two centrifugations of 5000 x g for 5 min; II) two centrifugations of 2500 x g for 5 min; III) two centrifugations of 1250 x g for 5 min; IV) 700 x g for 10 min, followed by 200 x g for 5 min. At the end of all treatments, aliquots (post-protocols = 0 h) were taken for evaluation of PM integrity and capacitation status by chlortetracycline stain (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, USA). Later on, samples of all treatments were submitted to incubation at 37°C, 1 h, 2 h and 3 h and the same parameters were assessed. The variables were subjected to either ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests depending on normality, Tukey and Fisher-LSD analysis (P < 0.05). There was no difference (P > 0.05) among all treatments for capacitation status and PM integrity. The capacitated rate was higher (P < 0.05) at 3 h (28.6 ± 2.5%) when compared with 0 h (23.3 ± 1.7%) and 1 h (23.8 ± 1.4%) of incubation, regardless of the treatment. There was no difference (P > 0.05) for PM integrity among the protocols at 0h. Regardless of the treatment, the intact and damaged PM rate, respectively, were similar (P > 0.05) for PT (16.4 ± 2.0% vs. 84.0 ± 2.0%) and 0 h (19.0 ± 2.9% vs. 81.1 ± 2.9%; average of all treatments). When analyzing just intact cells, the PT values were greater (P < 0.05) than any incubation interval, whereas the latter were lower than 0 h values (P < 0.05). In conclusion, MP may be used as an ideal alternative to the traditional Percoll, decreasing costs and time of sperm handling, without cell damages in ram sperm. Chemical, St. Louis, USA).

Resumo: O sucesso da FIV e posterior desenvolvimento embrionário são diretamente relacionados com a qualidade seminal e seleção espermática. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de diferentes forças e tempo de centrifugação de diferentes técnicas de seleção espermática de mini-Percoll (MP) no status da capacitação espermática e integridade da membrana plasmática (MP) de sêmen descongelado de carneiros. Foram utilizadas 10 palhetas de sêmen comercial congelado de diferentes carneiros da raça Santa Inês, com idade entre 2-5 anos. Na avaliação pós descongelamento (PD), a integridade de MP foi analisada pelo CASA por meio do sistema SCA® (Sperm Class Analyzer ? Microptic Automatic Diagnostic Systems, Barcelona, Espanha). A técnica de Percoll (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, USA) tradicional consistiu em utilizar 2 mL de gradiente (90/45%) e centrifugar a uma força de 700 x g por 10 minutos, seguida de outra centrifugação a 200 x g por 5 minutos. As técnicas de MP consistiram em utilizar um volume de 800 ?L de gradiente (90/45%) que foram submetidos aos seguintes tempos e forças de centrifugação: I) duas centrifugações de 5000 x g por 5 minutos; II) duas centrifugações de 2500 x g por 5 minutos; III) duas centrifugações de1250 x g por 5 minutos; IV) 700 x g por 10 minutos, seguidas de outra centrifugação a 200 x g por 5 minutos. No fim dos tratamentos (pós protocolos = 0 h), alíquotas foram retiradas para avaliação da integridade de MP e status da capacitação espermática pela coloração de clortetraciclina (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, USA). Posteriormente, as amostras de todos os tratamentos foram incubadas a 37 °C, 1 h, 2 h e 3 h e os mesmos parâmetros foram avaliados. As variáveis foram submetidas às análises de ANOVA ou teste de Kruskal-Wallis dependendo da normalidade, e testes de Tukey e Fisher-LSD (P < 0,05). Não houve diferença (P > 0,05) entre os tratamentos durante a avaliação do status da capacitação espermática e da integridade de MP. A taxa de capacitação foi maior (P < 0.05) em 3 h de incubação (28,6 ± 2,5%) quando comparado com 0 h (23,3 ± 1,7%) e 1 h (23,8 ± 1,4%), independente do tratamento utilizado. Não houve diferença (P > 0,05) em relação à integridade de MP entre os tratamentos a 0 h. Independente do tratamento utilizado, as taxas de MP íntegra e lesada, respectivamente, foram semelhantes (P > 0,05) no PD (16,4 ± 2,0% vs. 84,0 ± 2,0%; média de todos os tratamentos) e no momento 0 h (19,0 ± 2,9% vs. 81,1 ± 2,9%; média de todos os tratamentos). Quando foram analisadas somente células íntegras, os valores no PD foram maiores (P < 0,05) do que todos os intervalos de incubação, enquanto que todos os intervalos de incubação apresentaram taxas menores que os valores encontrados no momento 0 h (P < 0,05). Em conclusão, as técnicas de MP podem ser utilizadas como uma alternativa ideal ao método tradicional de Percoll durante a seleção espermática de sêmen congelado de carneiros, diminuindo custos e tempo de preparação espermática, sem que haja danos aos espermatozoides.
