Environmental change, risk perception, and adaptation
INTRODUCTION: Climate and socio-environmental changes have increased the risks to the livelihoods of traditional extractive communities. This study examines how babaçu coconut breaker perceive these risks and develop adaptive strategies based on traditional ecological knowledge in an ecotonal region of Northeast Brazil. The following hypotheses were tested: (i) greater perception of environmental risk is associated with a higher probability of ad…
Similarities in Brazilian dietary diversity
Edible flora is one of the most relevant groups for the survival and food security of socioeconomically vulnerable communities in Brazil. We aimed to provide an overview of research advances in the country, record the known edible biodiversity, national consumption patterns across different communities (rural, traditional, and urban), and the geographic and ethnic distribution of the articles, while identifying gaps and possibilities for future s…
The influence of prestige bias on knowledge and the dynamics of cultural transmission about medicinal plants in local medical systems
Background: Cultural transmission is crucial in social-ecological systems like local medical systems. According to the Theory of Cultural Evolution (CE), the information transmitted can change, either through cultural mutations (random) or guided variations (intentional). In local medical systems, this cultural transmission can be selective. For example, individuals tend to replicate information from prestigious social models, who generally have …
The traditional knowledge about the biodiversity of edible Brazilian fruits and their pollinators
Brazilian fruit trees are vital for food security, and their pollination is crucial. This study aimed to build a database of edible fruit trees and their pollinators in Brazil, integrating ethnobotanical and pollination ecology research. The database was built from an integrative review of ethnobotanical records of edible fruit plants and pollination biology research in Brazil. The data were then statistically treated with the Wilcoxon test to un…

The influence of exotic and native plants on illnesses with physical and spiritual causes in the semiarid region of Piauí, Northeast of Brazil
Background Local medical systems (LMS) include native and exotic plants used for the treatment of diseases of physical and spiritual nature. The incorporation of exotic plants into these systems has been the subject of many studies. In this context, an analysis was conducted on the influence of the origin of plants on diseases of physical and spiritual nature in order to evaluate the therapeutic versatility of native and exotic species in these t…
People socialize ecological information about the environment but may forget their own experiences
Local ecological knowledge (LEK) has been increasingly used in the search for efficient strategies to maintain biological diversity. However, considering the rapid environmental changes in ecosystems, such knowledge may have been lost between generations, affecting its potential application. In this study, we adopted the LEK of the potential dispersers of Caryocar coriaceum Wittm. (Caryocaraceae), an endangered plant species of socioeconomic and …

Can socioeconomic factors influence the establishment of information mutation in local medical systems? A case study on the use of plant complexes
Information mutations are unintended changes in information that can lead to the establishment of poorly adapted cultural traits in local medical systems. The use of plant mixtures in local medical systems, such as "bottles and lickers" could it be an important model to understand this phenomena, since the variability of information associated an only one plant mixture is high and may lead to an higher occurrence of error in the social transmitio…
Medicinal plants and animals of an important seasonal dry forest in Brazil
Research performed in recent years indicates that efforts are still needed to understand the advances in the Caatinga, an important dry seasonal forest, and identify its potential for bioprospecting.These efforts are also important for pinpointing the challenges that should be addressed in future research focused on identifying new candidates for pharmacological studies in this complex region.Thus, in this review, we present the main advances of …
Use of game fauna by Fulni-ô people in Northeastern Brazil
BackgroundDue to the influence of several factors on the hunting of game meat, we investigated how the seasonality of the environment, the abundance, and the biomass of wild animals, as well as the proximity to these resources, can affect the hunting.MethodsThe research was developed with the Fulni-ô people in the municipality of Águas Belas, Agreste of Pernambuco, Northeast of Brazil. In order to do this, we applied snowball sampling to select t…
Religiosity/Spirituality Matters on Plant-Based Local Medical System
Evolutionary ethnobiology and cultural evolution
The interest in theoretical frameworks that improve our understanding of social-ecological systems is growing within the field of ethnobiology. Several evolutionary questions may underlie the relationships between people and the natural resources that are investigated in this field. A new branch of research, known as evolutionary ethnobiology (EE), focuses on these questions and has recently been formally conceptualized. The field of cultural evo…

The role of individuals in the resilience of local medical systems based on the use of medicinal plants - a hypothesis
Some studies in the field of ethnobiology investigate the knowledge and use of biological resources, especially medicinal plants, to infer the resilience of local medical systems. However, little is known about the resilience of such systems in the context of the distribution of knowledge among individuals in the studied communities. For example, although a medical system is formed by a diverse set of species, the distribution of knowledge may be…
