Antifungal activity of selected plant extracts based on an ethnodirected study Acta Botanica
Silva,Flávia dos Santos; Landell,Melissa Fontes; Paulino,Gustavo Vasconcelos Bastos; Coutinho,Henrique Douglas Melo; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino.
ABSTRACT Plants have been reported as used by local populations to treat various infections for a long time, which has directed several pharmacological studies. The main aim of this work was to evaluate three plant selection criteria with better predictive power to detect extracts with antifungal action: (1) medicinal plants that are not used for indications of infection and inflammation; (2) plants with direct citations for inflammation, except for infection; (3) plants with direct citations for inflammation and infection selected quantitatively by Syndromic Importance Value (SIV). We tested the action of 23 hydroethanolic extracts of plants against the fungi Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Cryptococcus gattii and found no differences in...

Aquatic vascular plants as handicraft: a case study in southern Brazil Acta Botanica
Báez-Lizarazo,Mabel R.; Santoro,Flavia Rosa; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino; Ritter,Mara Rejane.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate knowledge about and the usage and importance of aquatic vascular plants (AVPs) in the production of handicrafts by communities on the north coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil. The snowball technique was employed to locate people who use and have knowledge regarding the use of AVPs for handicrafts. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and guided tours with 35 interviewees who were involved in artisanal activity at the time of the study. The data were analyzed using the importance value (IV) index and the consensus value for the forms of use (CMU). The Spearman correlation test (rs) was employed to determine the correlations of each social variable with the knowledge variables,...

Can socioeconomic factors explain the local importance of culturally salient plants in a social-ecological system? Acta Botanica
Sousa,Rosemary da Silva; Medeiros,Patrícia Muniz de; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino.
ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to determine whether socioeconomic factors explain the importance of culturally salient plants to social-ecological systems. Extractive communities of the Araripe-Apodi Environmental Protection Area in Northeast Brazil were studied, and a random sample of the population was selected. Quantitative variables (education, age and income) were analyzed using Spearman correlations, while categorical variables (gender and occupation) were analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests. Relationships between socioeconomic factors and the importance of culturally salient plants were all weak. Nevertheless, age influenced the local importance of the largest number of species. Other factors not considered in this study (historical, cultural,...

Market integration does not affect traditional ecological knowledge but contributes additional pressure on plant resources Acta Botanica
Silva,Temóteo Luiz Lima da; Campos,Juliana Loureiro de Almeida; Alves,Ângelo Giuseppe Chaves; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino.
ABSTRACT Market integration can affect the manner in which individuals learn about and use natural resources. The present study explores the influence of market integration on the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and use of natural resources in handicraft production among the Fulni-ô indigenous people of Northeast Brazil. We collect data from 67 artisans about their traditional and non-traditional handicrafts, which are mainly produced for external trade demand (our proxy for market integration). Data regarding the distribution of knowledge among different segments of the population, according to socioeconomic variables, and the comparison of plant biomass used for traditional and non-traditional handicrafts, reveals that integration does not affect...

Population structure and fruit availability of the babassu palm ( Attalea speciosa Mart. ex Spreng) in human-dominated landscapes of the Northeast Region of Brazil Acta Botanica
Campos,Juliana Loureiro Almeida; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino; Peroni,Nivaldo; Araújo,Elcida de Lima.
ABSTRACT We studied the population structure and fruit availability of the babassu palm, Attalea speciosa, in three human-dominated landscapes located near a rural community in the region of Araripe, in the Northeast Region of Brazil, that were under intense fruit harvest. Fifty 10 x 10 m plots were randomly established in each of the three landscapes, and all individuals of A. speciosa within the plots were classified as seedlings, juveniles or adults, with the height of all adult individuals being measured. An additional 20 individuals were marked in each landscape, and the number of total bunches, fruits per bunch and bunches per palm tree were recorded. The populations of A. speciosa in the three landscapes exhibited an inverted J-shape plot, but...

Temporal evaluation of the Conservation Priority Index for medicinal plants Acta Botanica
Souza,André dos Santos; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino; Nascimento,André Luiz Borba do; Santoro,Flávia Rosa; Torres-Avilez,Wendy Marisol; Lucena,Reinaldo Farias Paiva de; Monteiro,Júlio Marcelino.
ABSTRACT We investigated, through a temporal comparison, the extraction of non-timber forest resources by quantitatively analyzing the Conservation Priority Index (CPI). The study focused on the Fulni-ô Indigenous Territory, in the municipality of Águas Belas, PE (Northeast Brazil), which is characterized by caatinga vegetation (seasonal dry forest). Information on the availability of the exploited resources and the reported use of the species were obtained from vegetation sampling and semi-structured interviews, respectively. Our results demonstrated a reduction in species richness overtime, which may be due to continued resource extraction in the area, and that some species with low densities were even more affected. The species reported as being at high...

Ten important questions/issues for ethnobotanical research Acta Botanica
Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino; Nascimento,André Luiz Borba; Soldati,Gustavo Taboada; Feitosa,Ivanilda Soares; Campos,Juliana Loureiro Almeida; Hurrell,Julio Alberto; Hanazaki,Natalia; Medeiros,Patricia Muniz de; Silva,Rafael Ricardo Vasconcelos da; Ludwinsky,Rafaela Helena; Ferreira Júnior,Washington Soares; Reyes-García,Victoria.
ABSTRACT For at least 30 years researchers have called for a deeper reflection on the paths we desire for ethnobotanical research. Although the discipline of ethnobotany is growing, as measured by the number of publications in the area, there is still work to be done regarding the homogeneity of theoretical and methodological approaches and the implications of ethnobotanical research findings for society as a whole. In this article we present 10 questions/issues that we believe can guide the research and actions of ethnobotanists for the coming years.

The role of kinship in knowledge about medicinal plants: evidence for context-dependent model-based biases in cultural transmission? Acta Botanica
Brito,Camilla de Carvalho de; Ferreira-Júnior,Washington Soares; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino; Ramos,Marcelo Alves; Silva,Taline Cristina da; Costa-Neto,Eraldo Medeiros; Medeiros,Patrícia Muniz de.
ABSTRACT The similarity in traditional knowledge of medicinal plants was evaluated to draw inferences about the most important models for local knowledge transmission. The following questions were addressed: (1) Do related individuals possess greater similarity in knowledge of medicinal plants than unrelated individuals? (2) Do related individuals of the same generation possess greater similarity in knowledge than do related individuals of different generations? Semi-structured interviews were conducted on the medicinal plants known by the residents of a rural community in western Bahia. Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare Jaccard similarity values between related and unrelated individuals and between relatives of the same generation and relatives of...

The use of firewood in protected forests: collection practices and analysis of legal restrictions to extractivism Acta Botanica
Nascimento,Luciana Gomes de Sousa; Ramos,Marcelo Alves; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino; Araújo,Elcida de Lima.
ABSTRACT Restrictions to the collection of timber resources in protected areas have been scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to describe the practices of firewood collection in a protected forest and the perceptions of collectors, particularly with regard to their adjustment to the rules of the local management plan. The study involved 102 participants of a rural community adjacent to the Araripe National Forest and employed semi-structured interviews, free-listing and in-situ survey techniques for ethnobiological data collection. The volume of wood stored was measured and monitored using a modification of the weight survey technique. The residents used 69 plant species for firewood Most of the informants self-reported disagreement with the rules...

What factors guide healthcare strategies over time? A diachronic study focused on the role of biomedicine and the perception of diseases in the dynamics of a local medical system Acta Botanica
Santoro,Flávia Rosa; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino.
ABSTRACT Among the recently discussed evolutionary issues on medical systems, one of the most controversial issues is the replacement of local medical systems with the biomedical system. Our study investigates the hybridization of two medical systems and the role that the perception of incidence and severity of diseases has in memorization and transmission of information about their treatments. We collected data from a rural population in Brazil during two different periods separated by eight years and compared the periods for changes according to the knowledge on treatments with drugs in the biomedical system and according to the incidence and severity of the diseases. We found 147 medicinal plants belonging to 58 botanical families. Our results show that...

What matters in free listing? A probabilistic interpretation of the salience index Acta Botanica
Chaves,Leonardo da Silva; Nascimento,André Luiz Borba do; Albuquerque,Ulysses Paulino.
ABSTRACT Free listing is a data collection technique used in different subject areas to characterize a given cultural domain. Analysis of a set of lists from a human population allows inferences to be made about the cultural salience of the items in that domain. However, the challenge that the salience index presents is establishing a threshold value for determining whether an item can be considered salient or not. The present analysis reveals how to determine which items of a list have non-randomly determined citation frequency and order. Monte Carlo techniques were used to create a hypothetical null scenario. The present analysis not only objectively identifies which items stand out in relation to the others, it also reveals which items can be considered...
