From the Amazon to the world: Environmental and social implications of açaí in the Anthropocene
The internationalization of food systems in the context of the Anthropocene has intensified socio-environmental pressures on tropical products. This study analyzes the environmental and social impacts of the global expansion of açaí (Euterpe oleracea), a palm native to the Amazon that has evolved from a traditional staple of Indigenous and riverine communities into a globally traded “superfood,” through a narrative review. The results indicate th…
Jurema E Transiência Ontológica: Das Matas Às Cidades, Do Brasil a Portugal
O presente artigo tem como objeto de análise a interação da planta jurema com o humano em novas paisagens ritualísticas e espirituais. Existe um legado histórico e cultural conexo dos estudos sobre a jurema no Brasil, ainda fortemente relacionados com o seu uso no âmbito das religiões de matriz africana e indígena. No entanto, essa conexão parece estar a proporcionar novos vínculos através de fluxos emergentes e interações que vão além dessas est…
Drifting Away from the Roots: Genderfluidity as Diola's Mangrove Fishing Strategies in Three Island-Villages of Northern Guinea-Bissau
Biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, globalization, and societal transformations are challenging rural, and especially coastal communities in Guinea-Bissau where mangrove-dependent livelihoods are exposed to increased vulnerability. The Diola, traditional farmer-fishermen of the northern island-villages, have witnessed swift societal changes following the country's economic liberalization, climate change, and youth migration from rural areas. …
Notes on the conservation threats to the western lesser spot-nosed monkey (Cercopithecus petaurista buettikoferi) in the Bijagós Archipelago (Guinea-Bissau, West Africa)
The lesser spot-nosed monkey ( Cercopithecus petaurista ) is a widely distributed West African guenon, which is generally considered less vulnerable to local extinctions than many sympatric primate species. Guinea-Bissau harbours the westernmost populations of the species, which is thought to be very rare or even extinct on the mainland, but to have putative populations on some islands of the Bijagós Archipelago. However, due to a lack of regiona…
Rooted in the Mangrove Landscape: Children and their Ethnoichthyological Knowledge as Sentinels for Biodiversity Loss in Northern Guinea-Bissau
Biomonitoring fish species losses in data-deficient estuaries of West Africa can be facilitated by consulting small-scale fishermen as on-the-spot sentinels. Children are often prominent fishing actors in rural societies, but scientific studies looking at their ethnoichthyological knowledge are lacking. This study examines childhood fish knowledge inside a Diola village in Northern Guinea-Bissau, discussing how gendered division of labor affects …
Cultural differences in vocal emotion recognition: A behavioural and skin conductance study in Portugal and Guinea-Bissau
Cross-cultural studies of emotion recognition in nonverbal vocalizations not only support the universality hypothesis for its innate features, but also an in-group advantage for culture-dependent features. Nevertheless, in such studies, differences in socio-economic-educational status have not always been accounted for, with idiomatic translation of emotional concepts being a limitation, and the underlying psychophysiological mechanisms still un-…

Gastrointestinal symbionts of chimpanzees in Cantanhez National Park, guinea‐bissau with respect to habitat fragmentation
One of the major factors threatening chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in Guinea-Bissau is habitat fragmentation. Such fragmentation may cause changes in symbiont dynamics resulting in increased susceptibility to infection, changes in host specificity and virulence. We monitored gastrointestinal symbiotic fauna of three chimpanzee subpopulations living within Cantanhez National Park (CNP) in Guinea Bissau in the areas with different levels of a…
Genetic evidence for spatio‐temporal changes in the dispersal patterns of two sympatric African colobine monkeys
Western black‐and‐white colobus and Temmink's red colobus are two forest‐dependent African primates with similar ecological requirements, often found in sympatry. Their most striking difference lies in their social system: black‐and‐white colobus live in small groups with mainly male‐mediated dispersal but where females can also disperse, whereas red colobus live in larger groups with males described as philopatric. To investigate whether genetic…
