Conservation Consequences of Corallivore Gastropod Predation on Plexaurella grandiflora (Cnidaria)
Octocorals are extremely important animals for forming coral reefs and maintaining life in the marine environment and are widely distributed. The focus species Plexaurella grandiflora is an endemic species from Brazil. It is subject to the most varied external stressors, from ocean surface warming, pollution, damage caused by tourism, and predation by other animals. In this sense, the present study aimed to survey the population characteristics o…
Evaluating conservation threats to reservoirs in the semiarid region of Brazil using the perception of residents
Conservation and management strategies must be holistic, and therefore must guarantee the participation of local communities in the processes of identifying threats. Our study sought to identify the principal threats to reservoir conservation in the semiarid region of Brazil based on the perception of residents, and develop a conceptual model with the main threats to be used as a basis for orienting conservation measures. The study was undertaken…
Fishing, trade, and local ecological knowledge of the marine gastropod, Cassis tuberosa - a target species of the international shell trade
Cassis tuberosa is one of the most exploited marine gastropods on the Brazilian coast, due to its aesthetic value.The lack of characterization of the species' trade makes it difficult to establish effective monitoring strategies.This is the first survey to characterize the fishing and trade chain of C. tuberosa, and to record aspects of local fishermen's traditional ecological knowledge of the species.C. tuberosa is caught while fishing for other…
Historical Shark Meat Consumption and Trade Trends in a Global Richness Hotspot
Shark catches have increased worldwide, threatening the survival of several species. This study describes historical trends concerning shark consumption and commercialization by artisanal fishers in northeastern Brazil. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied and respondents pointed out that sharks used to be locally regarded as low-quality fish in the past and rejected by fish consumers, with low fisher consumption frequency. However, this h…
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 …
What do we know about Cassis tuberosa (Mollusca)
Cassis tuberosa is a key species in reefs and sandy beaches, where it plays an essential role as a predator of echinoderms (sea urchins and sand dollars). Due to the beauty of its shell, it is one of the most exploited species for trade as marine souvenirs throughout its distribution in the Western Atlantic. Despite its ecological importance, there is little available information about population and biological data or the impacts of its removal …
Healing with animals in a semiarid northeastern area of Brazil
Traditional uses of medicinal animals in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil
The present work presents an inventory of the traditional medicinal uses of animals in the municipality of Bom Sucesso in Paraíba State (PB) in the semiarid northeastern region of Brazil. Information was obtained through the use of semi-structured interviews with 50 people who use zootherapeutic products. A total of 25 animal species used for medicinal purposes were identified (18 vertebrates and seven invertebrates) distributed among five taxono…
