The Human Dimension of Araucaria Forest: Resource Uses, Landscape Management, and Ethnozoology
Local knowledge is a useful tool for understanding historical ecological processes and landscape management. We evaluated the ecological history of Araucaria Forest, including the use of its resources ( Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze [Araucaria seeds] and Feijoa sellowiana (O.Berg) O.Berg [Feijoa fruits]) and landscape management within a highlands area of the subtropical Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Applying a semi-structured questionnaire …

Disentangling Domestication from Food Production Systems in the Neotropics
The Neolithic Revolution narrative associates early-mid Holocene domestications with the development of agriculture that fueled the rise of late Holocene civilizations. This narrative continues to be influential, even though it has been deconstructed by archaeologists and geneticists in its homeland. To further disentangle domestication from reliance on food production systems, such as agriculture, we revisit definitions of domestication and food…
"If there's no dill, the taste isn't right!" A comparison of food plant knowledge between Polish and German descendants in the context of an imagined culinary community in Brazil
Food is a cultural marker investigated by several fields of knowledge. The ecological approach to food plants used in human societies can give us insights into food biodiversity and its connection to cultural identity. In our work, we investigate plant knowledge as part of an imagined culinary community among Polish and German descendants in Santa Catarina, Brazil. We interviewed Polish and German descendants and used an ecological analytical app…
People and Plants Through Generations of Polish Descendants in Brazil
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…
Análise de programas de pagamento por serviços ambientais no sul do Brasil: Identificando estratégias para a conservação da Araucaria angustifolia
As estratégias de conservação no Brasil não se limitam à criação de Unidades de Conservação, seja de Proteção Integral ou de Uso Sustentável. Há abordagens distintas, que aliam conservação ao acesso aos serviços ambientais que decorrem da biodiversidade, como por exemplo Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais (PSA). Ao longo da Floresta Ombrófila Mista (FOM), a Araucaria angustifolia, ou Pinheiro-do-Paraná, encontra-se tão ameaçada quanto o próprio ec…
Local knowledge about dugout canoes reveals connections between forests and fisheries
Fishermen do more than fish: Local ecological knowledge of raftsmen about the arboreal species used to construct rafts (Bahia, Brazil)
The southern Bahia population is familiar with the different tree species that are linked to their fishing activities. The main link between the fishermen and the useful species is present in the practice of raft construction. Currently, the restricted access to raw materials limits this practice, which consequently results in the cultural erosion of this community
Folk classification as evidence of transformed landscapes and adaptative strategies: A case study in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil
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…
Gender Influences in the Perception and Use of the Landscape in a Rural Community of German Immigrant Descendants in Brazil
People interact with the landscape and use its resources on a daily basis. An ecotope is the smallest ecological place culturally recognized within a landscape. Many ecotopes reveal the interaction between local communities and the environment and perceptions about ecotopes are based on the experiences of their observers. We studied local perceptions of ecotopes recognized by rural men and women, in order to understand the decision-making process…
Local Knowledge, Use and Management of Ethnovarieties of Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) Ktze. in the Plateau of Santa Catarina, Brazil
Knowledge, Use, and Management of the Babassu Palm (Attalea speciosa Mart. ex Spreng) in the Araripe Region (Northeastern Brazil)
Cultural landscapes of the Araucaria Forests in the northern plateau of Santa Catarina, Brazil
These areas still remain today due to cultural tradition, use and management of plant resources. Through this cultural tradition of maintaining caívas the vegetation of the Araucaria Forest has been conserved associated to the use of the Araucaria Forests native plant resources
Local health practices and the knowledge of medicinal plants in a Brazilian semi-arid region: Environmental Benefits to Human Health
The informants had a broad and integrated view of health, perceiving the importance of conserving the environment within the National Forest of Araripe for the health and well-being of the local populations
I eat the manofê so it is not forgotten: Local perceptions and consumption of native wild edible plants from seasonal dry forests in Brazil
BACKGROUND: There is little information available on the factors influencing people's selection of wild plants for consumption. Studies suggest a suitable method of understanding the selection of edible plants is to assess people's perceptions of these resources. The use and knowledge of wild resources is disappearing, as is the opportunity to use them. This study analyzes people's perceptions of native wild edible plants in a rural Caatinga (sea…
Brazilian and Mexican experiences in the study of incipient domestication
BackgroundStudies of domestication enables a better understanding of human cultures, landscape changes according to peoples' purposes, and evolutionary consequences of human actions on biodiversity. This review aimed at discussing concepts, hypotheses, and current trends in studies of domestication of plants, using examples of cases studied in regions of Mesoamerica and Brazil. We analyzed trends of ethnobiological studies contributing to documen…

Traditional Knowledge and Management of Caryocar coriaceum Wittm. (Pequi) in the Brazilian Savanna, Northeastern Brazil1
Knowledge, use and management of native wild edible plants from a seasonal dry forest (NE, Brazil)
Background Despite being an ancient practice that satisfies basic human needs, the use of wild edible plants tends to be forgotten along with associated knowledge in rural communities. The objective of this work is to analyze existing relationships between knowledge, use, and management of native wild edible plants and socioeconomic factors such as age, gender, family income, individual income, past occupation and current occupation. Methods The …
Phenology of Spondias tuberosaArruda (Anacardiaceae) under different landscape management regimes and a proposal for a rapid phenological diagnosis using local knowledge
Background Studies aimed at investigating the influence of habitat change on species phenology. Studies that investigate people's perceptions of the phenology of certain species still area few; yet this approach is important for effective decision-making for conservation. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenology of Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae), a native species of economic and ecological importance in northeastern Brazil…

Between the sea and the land: The livelihood of estuarine people in southeastern Brazil
The central focus of this study is to characterize and compare the livelihood strategies of two coastal communities from the estuarine region of Ribeira Valley (São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil), analyzing the interplay among four economic activities: small-scale agriculture, fishing, tourism-related jobs, and extraction of non-timber vegetal resources. The local people of these communities are mostly Caiçara, the native inhabitants of southe…
