The Tupinambá of Maranhão State, Brazil, and medicinal plants described in the 17th century chronicles of the Capuchins Claude d’Abbeville and Yves d’Évreux
BACKGROUND: Information concerning contact with the Tupinambá indigenous people and the flora in the state of Maranhão (Brazil) during the period of French occupation (17th century) is recorded in the chronicles of the Capuchin missionaries Claude d'Abbeville (?-1632) and Yves d'Évreux (1577-1632). These chronicles interrelate characters, spaces, environments, times, and events, based on the conceptual model of historical ethnobotany and memory. …
Etnobotânica E Conservação No Ensino De Ciências Aliada À Mídia Digital
No intuito de se estimular a aprendizagem dos alunos no Ensino de Ciências, a Etnobotânica é um caminho para se obter uma boa resposta na aprendizagem escolar, podendo ser adotados conteúdos históricos de forma interdisciplinar. Tem-se então, a possibilidade de se ampliar o conhecimento científico dos alunos, proporcionando uma maior reflexão sobre temas como a utilização das plantas e sua conservação a partir de conteúdos curriculares escolares.…
O Ativismo De Bertha Lutz Para Preservação Da Natureza
Bertha Lutz, cientista brasileira e naturalista, descrita por si mesma. Trata-se da apresentação de uma documentação dos arquivos do Museu Nacional (SEMEAR), que foi extinto pelo incêndio do dia 02 de junho de 2018. Os originais datilografados de Bertha Lutz demostram sua visão da situação ambiental por diversas localidades fluminenses, particularmente sobre a situação da flora e vegetação de Mata Atlântica, no entorno dos parques nacionais até a…
Local and scientific knowledge in the school context
BackgroundBridging the gap between local and scientific knowledge can have useful implications in the teaching-learning process because it can create environments conducive to the valorization of sociocultural diversity in schools. The present review aims to analyze the profile and contributions of scientific publications dealing with articulations between local and scientific knowledge in basic formal education.MethodCombined searches of 14 term…
A methodological proposal for the use of short stories regarding the biocultural memory as a pedagogical tool
Background: Since its origin, the human being as a biocultural species has been observing the natural world and forming a set of practices, beliefs and cosmovisions associated with its environment. These practices have been transmitted between generations, primarily through oral storytelling, and have played an important role in human evolutionary history. Narratives and short stories about the natural world have also been essential for the maint…
Human impact on the abundance of useful species in a protected area of the Brazilian Cerrado by people perception and biological data
Studies about relationships between people and landscapes have shown that local communities can affect the abundance of plant species useful to humans, which raises the question of how landscape management processes might modify the abundance of useful plant species in a forested area. We addressed this issue based on people perception and biological evidence. This study was undertaken in the Araripe National Forest, a protected area of sustainab…
Folk classification as evidence of transformed landscapes and adaptative strategies
How do people classify the living world? Solid theoretical and methodological foundations advocate for utilitarian or intellectual strategies. Some authors argue that people tend to classify natural resources that are necessary for their survival. However, in the case of landscapes, we do not know the true criteria that people use to classify their space. We present strong evidence that people name landscapes according to utilitarian (economic) c…
Historical ethnobotany
Historical Ethnobotany is an area of research responsible for understanding past interrelationships between people and plant using written records and iconography. The literature on this topic is scattered, and many of these studies are not recognised as such; therefore, it is difficult to compile historical ethnobotanical data. Accordingly, this study attempted to draw a general picture of the publications in this field. The Scopus, ISI Web of K…
The apparency hypothesis applied to a local pharmacopoeia in the Brazilian northeast
BackgroundData from an ethnobotanical study were analyzed to see if they were in agreement with the biochemical basis of the apparency hypothesis based on an analysis of a pharmacopeia in a rural community adjacent to the Araripe National Forest (Floresta Nacional do Araripe - FLONA) in northeastern Brazil. The apparency hypothesis considers two groups of plants, apparent and non-apparent, that are characterized by conspicuity for herbivores (hum…
Food flora in 17th century northeast region of Brazil in Historia Naturalis Brasiliae
BACKGROUND: This article reports historical ethnobotany research conducted from a study of the work Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (Natural History of Brazil), authored by Piso and Marcgrave and published in 1648, with main focus on Caatinga of northeast region of Brazil. METHODS: Focusing the content analysis on the section dedicated to plant species with multiple uses, Marcgrave's contribution to the aforementioned work, this research had the fol…
Caatinga plants with nutritional potential
A historical review about the native food species from caatinga in Pernambuco state, Brazil was conducted. A matrix of the food plants was created using a primary source (“Contribution to the study of the flora from Pernambuco, Brazil”, by Dárdano de Andrade-Lima) and secondary sources of past use (centuries XVI/ XVII/ XIX), contemporary (50s-70s decades) and current (from the 70s decade) to the central work. This study has revealed the potential…
The pharmacy of the Benedictine monks
A new technique for testing distribution of knowledge and to estimate sampling sufficiency in ethnobiology studies
Background We propose a new quantitative measure that enables the researcher to make decisions and test hypotheses about the distribution of knowledge in a community and estimate the richness and sharing of information among informants. In our study, this measure has two levels of analysis: intracultural and intrafamily. Methods Using data collected in northeastern Brazil, we evaluated how these new estimators of richness and sharing behave for d…
