Abstract The present work presents an inventory of the traditional medicinal uses animals in municipality Bom Sucesso Paraíba State (PB) semiarid northeastern region Brazil. Information was obtained through use semi-structured interviews with 50 people who zootherapeutic products. A total 25 animal species used for purposes were identified (18 vertebrates and seven invertebrates) distributed among five taxonomic categories; groups largest numbers citations were: mammals (8 citations),...
Abstract Background In addition to playing a key role in the dynamics of ecosystems, animal diversity, especially that wild vertebrates, is intimately linked with human evolutionary history, which has resulted diverse interactions must be emphasized formal education processes. We analyzed several methods approaches used for biological order teach about vertebrates and their conservation urban rural schools semi-arid region Brazil. Methods Data were obtained via questionnaires applied 990...
This study examines the variation in cacti species richness and abundance among sites with different average rainfall soil types. We assessed a total of 3,660 individuals six Cactaceae: Cereus jamacaru, Melocactus zehntneri, Pilosocereus gounellei, pachycladus, Tacinga inamoena, palmadora. The greatest were at locations low more clayey soils. studied differed multidimensional representation, some being positively related to soils higher proportion fine particles (M. zehntneri P. gounellei),...
RESUMO Leguminosae Juss. é uma família amplamente distribuída, sendo dominante em alguns ecossistemas, como na Caatinga. Este trabalho trata do levantamento taxonômico de Área Proteção Ambiental (APA) Cariri, semiárido paraibano, nordeste Brasil. Foram encontradas ao todo 31 espécies, 22,6 % das quais acreditadas endêmicas da O gênero mais diverso taxonomicamente foi Senna, com cinco espécies. Sete espécies foram referidas pela primeira vez para o Estado Paraíba (C. belemii var. belemii, D....
Seed biometrics is an excellent tool for understanding environmental filters, species potential and dispersal, successional stages of communities the dynamics used by seeds to germinate, establish develop, thus constituting a functional trait species. We aim understand relationship between aspects seed other phenological traits, in order infer contributions about strategies Caatinga. Between September 2017 January 2019, 10 individuals Cenostigma pyramidale (Tul.) LP Queiroz, Commiphora...
We collected 137 samples (71—rainy season; 66—dry) for the Brazilian state of Paraíba. With a total 23 species (one hornwort, 14 mosses and nine liverworts), we updated bryoflora Paraíba, hotspot bryophytes, by one rare (Weissia controversa), increasing number to 188. The floristic composition in Poeta e Repentista Juvenal de Oliveira State Park is affected chronic anthropogenic disturbances, typical arid environments, regardless season. This indicates homogenization habitat from loss...
For the Caatinga vegetation, it has not yet been definitively established which adaptive strategies best define functional groups of woody plants and syndromes emerge from relationships between traits to achieve success in a semi-arid tropical region. To fill some these gaps, we analyzed specific set characteristics that make up LHS scheme plant ecological strategy (leaf-heigh-seed). The captures niche regarding leaf area (SLA), height (HE), seed mass (SM). We associate wood density (WD)...
Elevation gradients represent useful models for testing how different organisms respond to ecological and anthropogenic gradients. We investigated the phylogenetic diversity of ground ants change along an elevation gradient in Brazilian semiarid, Caatinga Domain. sampled structure composition species from woody community at three levels (S1: 400 m asl; S2: 500 S3: 600 asl). distributed five 0.01 ha plots each level, plot, a transect containing six traps, totaling 15 plots, transects 90...
Abstract We present here a floristic survey of the angiosperms found in Reserva Ecológica Olho d’Água das Onças (REODO) semiarid region Paraíba State, Brazil, to provide basis for proactive conservation projects there. Fifteen excursions were carried out between August/2022 and April/2024 employing traditional methods collecting herborization botanical material. The collections obtained incorporated into Manuel de Arruda Câmara Herbarium (HACAM) at State University (UEPB), Campus I. examined...
The input of leaf litter is an important energy source for the riparian vegetation aquatic ecosystems, and chemical composition decisive colonization by invertebrates in streams. Plant species semiarid regions present different morphophysiological characteristics to combat effects drought, including tough leaves that have less nutritional quality. However, although concern regarding decomposition organic matter ecosystems increasing, no information exists on influence traits (e.g., N, C:N...
