Entomophagy
Purpose This study aimed to explore the linguistic expressions used by participants when referring to edible insects, to reveal cultural and emotional attitudes or perceptions towards entomophagy. Design/methodology/approach This is a qualitative and quantitative study, carried out on a sample of 700 participants from 14 countries (50 per country), who were asked to indicate words or expressions that they associate with edible insects. A total of…
Record decline and slowing down of canopy-greenness in Amazonia during the 2023/2024 drought
Over the period 2023/2024 Amazonia has experienced a record drought. So far, only few studies have quantified the overall impact of this drought on the Amazon rainforest emphasizing declining canopy-greenness and gross primary production. While these studies provide valuable insights, they neither included the second peak of drought in September 2024 nor did they study post-event trajectories. To fill this gap, we here present analyses based on o…
Evaluating the 2023–2024 record dry-hot conditions in the Amazon in the context of historical compound extremes
Since 2023, the Amazon rainforest has experienced unprecedented compound drought and heatwaves (CDHW). These events are closely linked to low soil moisture (SM) and high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and have significant impacts on the Amazon ecosystem. In this study, we examine CDHW and concurrent low-SM/high-VPD events in the Amazon from 1981 to 2024, with a particular focus on the record-breaking drought of 2023–2024. Our findings reveal that …
Composição demográfica domiciliar e dinâmica do uso do solo em Machadinho d'Oeste, Rondônia
Vários estudos sugerem a importância da mudança na composição demográfica domiciliar sobre a demanda e o uso da terra em fronteiras agrícolas. A maioria desses estudos, no entanto, analisa essa relação em estágios mais avançados do desenvolvimento das fronteiras, produzindo evidências conflitantes sobre o papel dos determinantes populacionais. Este artigo examina os efeitos da composição demográfica domiciliar (ciclo de vida domiciliar) e do temp…
Circuitos da economia urbana e economia dos setores populares na fronteira amazônica
Embora a expansão do mercado trabalho formal seja uma tendência sustentada no Brasil nos últimos anos, a persistência de formas de ocupação ligadas ao circuito inferior da economia é uma realidade ampla e mal compreendida. Isso é particularmente verdade para as diversas fronteiras da Amazônia brasileira, onde a economia informal, popular, solidária e familiar persiste, a despeito dos grandes investimentos destinados ao circuito superior. Esse tra…
