Estudo etnoornitológico em comunidade quilombola do entorno da Serra do Giz, Afogados da Ingazeira, Pernambuco, Brasil
(2018) Veras, Aurea Palloma Bezerra Barbosa; Fernandes, Alexandre Mendes; Almeida, Cauê Guion de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2072654463873094; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0273567197386804; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1108361034364482
The biological, utilitarian, sociocultural and socio-affective relationships between humans and birds are understood and studied by ethno-ornithology. The present research had as objective to investigate about the meanings, symbolic representations and the diverse relationships existing between the inhabitants of a quilombola community of the semiarid of Pernambuco and the birds of Serra do Giz to address the role that the community can play in the conservation of birds in this area and its environment. For this, 23 individuals were interviewed through semi-structured script, complemented by free interviews and informal conversations, as well as visual materials. 147 vernacular names were registered, referring to 110 species, distributed in 21 orders and 40 families. We studied aspects related to bird naming criteria, nesting, reproductive behavior, feeding habits and social behavior. Twenty-eight birds were registered as predictors of events (changes in time, death, omens, home visits, luck and bad luck). We investigated aspects related to the use of birds, the informants’ conceptions regarding their conservation and the transmission of ethno-ornithological knowledge. The disappearance of several birds from the Serra do Giz and its surroundings was mostly attributed to drought and hunting (capture for illegal trade, breeding and food). It was verified that the information of the popular knowledge, for the most part, matches with the scientific literature, proving that the inhabitants of the community know the biological and ecological aspects of the birds and maintains sociocultural relationships with them. As Serra do Giz is a new area that is in the process of being to become conservation unit, it is important to develop research involving the surrounding communities for wild birds’ conservation, since the ethnoornithological knowledge can strengthen the scientific literature and be an ally in the elaboration of conservation strategies along with researchers and other agencies.
A relação e os acidentes com serpentes em comunidades quilombolas no semiárido brasileiro
(2022-10-21) Vieira, Diogo Michel; Almeida, Cauê Guion de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2072654463873094; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3839301143707814
The relationship between humans and reptiles, especially snakes, is most often conflictive. In the Brazilian semiarid region, in quilombo communities surrounding the Serra do Giz Wildlife Refuge, the inhabitants live in close contact with the local fauna. Understanding the relationship between humans and snakes is essential so that conservation actions directed to these animals can be carried out. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship and perception that community dwellers have about snakes, as well as the procedures adopted in case of accidents with poisonous snakes. Fifty-five informants were interviewed through semi-structured forms, complemented by free interviews and informal conversations. There is a conflicting relationship between the inhabitants of the quilombo communities and snakes, which are seen as dangerous and cause of fear, which ends up leading most people to kill the animals during an encounter. Also, accidents involving snakes and humans are common in the communities, as are accidents involving snakes and domestic animals. In the case of accidents with humans and snakes, instead of seeking medical attention as recommended by the public health service, it is common for the victims to adopt procedures to treat the poisoning and its symptoms, learned through experience or transmitted most of the time by older people. Some procedures may be beneficial, others may worsen the patient's condition, and others have no scientific confirmation that they are beneficial or harmful. The existence of this conflict with snakes, however, does not justify the extermination of these animals, which brings enormous environmental damage since snakes have an important role in the ecological balance. Fear, ignorance, and the inability to correctly identify a poisonous snake need to be addressed through public policies of environmental education which teach that not all of the snakes pose as a risk of accidents and that they need to be preserved, as well as public policies and projects for accidents prevention and safety during work on farms or in activities near the forest. Ethnozoological studies should be encouraged because they are important tools for designing actions and strategies for animal conservation and recording traditional knowledge.
A relação e os acidentes com serpentes em populações do entorno do Parque Estadual Mata da Pimenteira, Pernambuco, Brasil
(2018) Lima, Camilla Taiana Patriota; Almeida, Cauê Guion de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2072654463873094; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6727751523414288
Since ancient times, civilizations have lived alongside snakes and the relationship between man and these reptiles has changed over time according to the culture of each region. In the Mata da Pimenteira State Park, located inthe Brazilian semiarid region, various species of native wildlife are under pressure by human populations that reside in the area. Understanding the dynamics of these relationships is of fundamental importance to developing and carrying out management strategies. Therefore, the present study describes the resident’s perception of the reptiles in the rural communities around the State Park of Mata da Pimenteira, as well as the procedures in case of accidental encounters with venomous snakes. We interviewed 57 individuals in a semi-structured format, complemented by free interviews and informal conversations. These interviews revealed an antagonistic relationship between snakes and the residents of the Mata da Pimenteira State Park. However, this should not be accepted as justification for indiscriminate killing given the importance of these animals and the significant environmental damage that would result from such action. Fear, lack of knowledge, and the inability to identify venomous snake species must allbe addressed through public education policies and actions aimed at informing the public about the important roles that venomous and non-venomous snakes play in the environment. Public policies and projects for bite prevention, as well as treatment, in the case of venomous snakebites are also fundamental.
Uso de microhabitat e atividade de forrageio de escorpiões da Caatinga, em função da luminosidade lunar
(2018) Barros, Ana Maria Tavares de; Almeida, Cauê Guion de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2072654463873094; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9772502563268635
The Caatinga biome is one of the great natural regions of Brazil and is marked by its rich biodiversity. However, current research regarding this biodiversity is insufficient and, in the specific case of scorpion species, studies are especially needed. The present work investigates the foraging strategies of the scorpion speciesJaguajir rochae(Borelli, 1910), Bothriurus asperPocock, 1893, and Bothriurus rochaiMello-Leitão, 1932, within an area of the Caatinga, in order to analyze the possible occurrence of microhabitat overlap during foraging of these three species according to lunar luminosity and to determine the impact on foraging activity for Bothriurus asperor Bothriurus rochaidue to the abundance of Jaguajir rochae. Data was collected nocturnally in the Pollizadores Trail, in the municipalityof Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, between March and September of 2017. Scorpions were located utilizing an ultraviolet light and data was recorded for collection date, species, sex, exposure, microhabitat and activity. Statistical analysis was performed utilizing the program PAST, version 3.06. During 102 hours of field research, 262 total specimens were found with the research sample composed of 101 males,127 femalesand 34 unclassified juveniles. There was no correlation found between lunar luminosity and scorpion abundance, and nosignificant relation was found for microhabitat overlap and lunar luminosity and there was no abundance correlation found for bothriuridae and Jaguajir rochae.
