A Far Beyond Bushmeat: A Review of the Hunting and Uses of Neotropical Columbids
Hunting and the use of wild columbids are widely documented practices across the Neotropical region, associated with multiple forms of utilization, harvesting pressures, and conservation implications. Our study represents the first systematic literature review focused on the uses and trade of Neotropical Columbiformes. Data were obtained from articles, books, book chapters, theses, dissertations, and technical reports indexed in Science Direct, S…
Use of wild vertebrates for consumption and bushmeat trade in Brazil: A review
Patterns of wildlife hunting and trade by local communities in eastern Amazonian floodplains
Local people living in the Amazon rainforest rely heavily on wild meat as a source of protein and income. While the patterns and drivers of wildlife hunting and trade by local communities are well-known for upland forests, such aspects have been poorly explored in Amazonian floodplains. This study aims to describe wild meat hunting and trade patterns and assess the hunting dynamics of local communities in Amazonian floodplain areas. For this purp…
Fauna and conservation in the context of formal education: A study of urban and rural students in the semi-arid region of Brazil
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…
“Which Fishes Do I Catch?” Predicting the Artisanal Fishers’ Local Knowledge About Target-Species in Brazil
Water spirits within the fishers' worldview: Implications for fishing management in Northeast Brazil
Background Historically, aquatic environments are linked to the worldview of many local people, where there is an interconnection between the natural world, the supernatural, and the social organization. In this study, we provided a discussion on how the supernatural beings that inhabit the freshwater systems interact with artisanal fishers and fishing resources in the riverine community of Parnaíba River middle course, in Mid North of Northeast …
Zootherapeutic uses of wildmeat and associated products in the semiarid region of Brazil: General Aspects and Challenges for Conservation
The hunting and use of wild species for medicinal purposes are culturally disseminated activities among hunters. Our results demonstrate the importance of studying hunters in order to understanding the dynamics of bushmeat exploitation and to develop more efficient strategies for wildlife use and conservation
Game mammals of the Caatinga biome
Mammals stand out among the main game animals of the world, being exploited by human beings for different ends, and being important for the subsistence of several communities. In semiarid environments, as in the Brazilian Caatinga biome, wild mammals have been exploited by the local human population, including endangered species. In this scenario, beyond biological research of the exploited animals, ethnozoological studies are important for suppo…
The role of game mammals as bushmeat In the Caatinga, northeast Brazil
Barboza, R. D., S. F. Lopes, W. M. S. Souto, H. Fernandes-Ferreira, and R. R. N. Alves. 2016. The role of game mammals as bushmeat In the Caatinga, northeast Brazil. Ecology and Society 21(2):2.http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ES-08358-210202
Ethnozoology: A Brief Introduction
Connections between animals and humans date back thousands of years, and cultures all over the world have developed characteristic ways of interacting with the regional fauna over time. Human communities have accumulated a huge store of knowledge about animals through the centuries (passed from generation to generation, largely through oral traditions) that is closely integrated with many other cultural aspects, and this zoological knowledge is a…
Ethno-ornithology and conservation of wild birds in the semi-arid Caatinga of northeastern Brazil
The utilization of birds as pets has been recognized as one of the principal threats to global avifauna. Most of the information about the use and sale of birds as pets has been limited to areas of high biodiversity and whose impacts of anthropic actions have been widely broadcast internationally, for example for the Amazon Forest and forest remnants of Southeast Asia. The Caatinga predominates in the semi-arid region of Brazil, and is one of the…
A zoological catalogue of hunted reptiles in the semiarid region of Brazil
The variety of interactions between human cultures and herpetofauna is the subject matter of Ethnoherpetology, a subdivision of Ethnozoology. In the semi-arid region of Brazil, many reptiles interact with human communities because of their utility or because of the risks they represent. These interactions have obvious implications for the conservation of reptiles from this region.In this context, ethnoherpetology studies are crucial because they …
