Fisher awareness is crucial for compliance with regulatory frameworks concerning endangered marine species
Use and utility redundancy of medicinal plants in ethnoveterinary medicine by local populations of the Brazilian Caatinga
Effects of Vegetable Cover on the Regeneration Process in Degraded Dry Forest in Brazil
The Brazilian Caatinga is among the most diverse dry forests in the world, yet half of its original coverage has been degraded. Natural regeneration is influenced by climatic and edaphic conditions, as well as the existing adult stratum. Despite its significance, this process remains poorly understood in the Caatinga. Thus, our study aimed to analyze how anthropogenic disturbance, vegetation cover, and soil properties affect the regenerating stra…
Changes in artisanal fishing as a driver of the shifting baseline syndrome
Harvesting Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. in a western Amazon rural community
The activities of the "nut-crackers" represent to them more than just a simple source of income, as harvesting provides them with a connection to nature that promotes their well-being and cultural heritage. The nut harvesters have gained specific knowledge concerning both environmental and cultural changes. Those changes have mainly come about through the expansion of agricultural activities and the felling of native forests-which are the main th…
Functional Traits Drive the Selection of Plant Species Used by Agropastoralists in the Brazilian Semiarid Region
Local ecological knowledge dynamics of farmers in areas which have been chronically disturbed by human actions in the Brazilian Caatinga
Background: The diversity of plants indicated for the same use, plays important strategies which can affect the resilience of local ecological knowledge. In this context, we investigated the variation of local ecological knowledge through the richness of cited species, redundancy on an individual level and utilitarian redundancy (fuel, construction and technology) by local populations inserted in a dry forest with different environmental characte…
Reef fisher perceptions acknowledge the socio-environmental effectiveness of a 20-year old Brazilian Marine Protected Area
Plants with similar characteristics drive their use by local populations in the semi-arid region of Brazil
What are the factors influencing the aversion of students towards reptiles
BackgroundReptiles form a paraphyletic group with significant roles for human society, including species that are considered important for food, medicinal and mystical use and as pets. Some species are considered to be aversive, whereas others are captivating among people. Aversion is an important factor which should be considered in the conservation policies of these animals. As such, here, we investigate the demographic, educational, perceptive…
Artisanal Fisher Knowledge and Attitudes Concerning Compressor Fishing in a North-Eastern Brazilian Marine Protected Area
Rearing and trade of wild birds in a semiarid region of Brazil
Traditional management of Cactaceae by local populations in the semiarid region of Brazil
Cactaceae species are important resources in the semiarid region of Brazil and have been used and managed in a specific way by farmers to optimize and ensure the availability of cacti to rural communities.Thus, this study aimed to investigate management techniques used by residents of four rural communities in the municipality of Cabaceiras, Paraíba, Northeast Brazil.Only residents who claimed to perform some type of cacti management participated…
Fauna and conservation in the context of formal education
Background In addition to playing a key role in the dynamics of ecosystems, animal diversity, especially that of wild vertebrates, is intimately linked with human evolutionary history, which has resulted in diverse interactions that must be emphasized in formal education processes. We analyzed several methods of approaches used for biological education in order to teach about wild vertebrates and their conservation in urban and rural schools in t…
Illegal trade of songbirds
BackgroundThis study aimed to analyze the chain and dynamics of the trade of wild birds between keepers and traders in an area of northeast Brazil. Profit from the purchase and sale of these animals in the trade chain was also estimated.MethodsThe information was obtained through interviews with direct participants in the wild bird trade chain.ResultsWe recorded a total of 34 bird species involved in illegal trade. In general, the purchase and sa…
Knowledge and use of Cactaceae in rural communities in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil
Background: Cactaceae species are physiologically adapted to regions with arid and semi-arid climates, in which they are available and often used by traditional communities. This study aimed to analyze how ethnobotanical knowledge is influenced by socioeconomic factors such as age and gender in a semi-arid region of Paraíba, Brazil.Methods: This study was conducted in rural communities in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. The …
Techniques for Catching the Shellfish Anomalocardia flexuosa in a Tropical Estuary in Northeast Brazil
To preserve, or not to preserve, that is the question
Wild vertebrates and their representation by urban/rural students in a region of northeast Brazil
BACKGROUND: Recognition of the diversity of living beings, including the classification and naming of species, is a fundamental condition for biological literacy with the aim of developing critical awareness of human relationships with nature, and for which formal education plays an important role. The present study aimed to analyze the representation that urban/rural students have for wild vertebrates and their main sources of knowledge. METHODS…
Environmental influence on the choice of medicinal animals
BackgroundAnimals from various taxonomic groups are commonly used in folk medicine, and their selection seems to be directly linked to their availability and accessibility. In the present study, we analyzed the use of animals as a source of folk medicines in a community in northeastern Brazil with access to aquatic and terrestrial animals. We hypothesize that the medicinal fauna is well represented by species of both habitat types.MethodsFor the …
Traditional Techniques for the Management of Cactaceae in the Americas
Humans have used and coexisted with cacti in arid regions of North and South America for thousands of years. Species of the family Cactaceae possess physiological adaptations to arid and semi-arid climates that have allowed them to be used as a resource throughout the year by traditional peoples. The objective of this review is to present information on the uses and management of species of Cactaceae in the various regions of the Americas. This r…
Understanding the motivations for keeping wild birds in the semi-arid region of Brazil
BACKGROUND: Birds are kept as pets around the world, and bird-keeping is an ancient and widespread practice, constituting one of the main reasons for the decline of some species. In the semi-arid region of Brazil, this practice is very common and continues despite being designated as illegal in recent decades. This study aimed to identify the species and families of songbirds used as pets in the semi-arid region of Brazil, characterize the mainte…
The Other Side of Ecology
Ecology as a science emerged within a classic Cartesian positivist context, in which relationships should be understood by the division of knowledge and its subsequent generalization. Overtime, ecology has addressed many questions, from the processes that lead to the origin and maintenance of life to modern theories of trophic webs and non equilibrium. However, the ecological models and ecosystem theories used in the field of ecology have had dif…
Competition analysis using neighborhood models
Contemporary studies in plant ecology have investigated the processes and patterns underlying plant community of structure and dynamics, mainly in tropical forests. In this context, the effects of competitive interactions between trees and their neighbors on tree growth and survival in plant communities have been addressed using neighborhood models. The purpose of these efforts has been to better understand the processes that drive patterns of sp…
