Abstract Throughout human history, Indigenous and local communities have stewarded nature. In the present article, we revisit ancestral principle of reciprocity between people nature consider it as a conceptual intervention to current notion ecosystem services commonly used inform sustainability transformation. We propose concept reciprocal contributions encompass actions, interactions, experiences other components that result in positive feedback loops accrue both, directly or indirectly,...
Too often research brings harm to Indigenous peoples.
Abstract The recovery of marine ecosystems in areas heavily impacted by fishing and environmental exploitation depends, to some extent, on the sustainable management resources should be complemented cultural traditions, practices scientific knowledge. These knowledge systems may involve reciprocal actions interactions between people coastal environments, which, unfortunately, are often overlooked government strategies. Our study was conducted channels fjords northern Chilean Patagonia. life...
To contribute to achieving local and global sustainability, we propose a novel educational methodology, called field environmental philosophy (FEP), which orients ecotourism practices reconnect citizens nature. FEP is based on the systemic approach of biocultural ethic that values vital links among life habits co-inhabitants (humans other-than-humans) who share common habitat. Based this “3Hs” model (habitats, co-inhabitants, habits), combines tourism with experiential education reorient...
Long-distance dispersal is one of the main drivers structuring distribution marine biodiversity. This study reports first occurrence Macrocystis pyrifera and Durvillaea antarctica rafts on southwestern warm temperate coast Atlantic Ocean. Our results indicate that an extreme meteo-oceanographic event, characterized by a northward, displacement cold sub-Antarctic oceanic waters driven extratropical cyclone, could account for these unusual occurrences. A niche model based known current maximum...
Abstract Aim We assess biogeographical patterns, population structure and the range of species in pulmonate genus Siphonaria across sub‐Antarctic. hypothesized that locally endemic cryptic will be found distribution these direct‐developing limpets Location The sub‐Antarctic coasts Southern Ocean including South America, Falkland/Malvinas, Georgia, Kerguelen Macquarie Islands. Methods Multi‐locus phylogenetic reconstructions, mt DNA time‐calibrated divergence time estimations population‐based...
Abstract Throughout history, Indigenous people have stewarded seascapes, with people–nature reciprocity being a key component of many management strategies, yet it is often overlooked in fisheries management. This research focuses on northern abalone ( Haliotis kamtschatkana ) Haida Gwaii, the home Nation. The developed range values associated abalone, including reciprocity. However, commercial fishing and colonial mismanagement led to overexploitation, resulting prohibition all gatherings...
This article discusses field environmental philosophy and biocultural conservation methods at the Omora Ethnobotanical Park in Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve Chile.
Since the mid-20th century, so-called Great Acceleration (
Chilean sub-Antarctic Channels region is one of the most diverse regions in molluscs species South Pacific Ocean America.This exhibit intertidal zones with a high environmental heterogeneity at local scale, including seasonal changes photoperiod, rocky substrate diversity, salinity and temperature gradi ents.This study characterized assemblages Róbalo bay 54°55'S (Beagle Channel), identifying spatial-temporal assemblage composition, richness, abundance, functional groups, diversity...
These extensive kelps forest are among the most productive and diverse habitats on planet, playing an important ecological role in marine ecosystems. have been affected by anthropogenic factors worldwide directly environmental variations resulting from climate change. The Magellan ecoregion has southernmost kelp forests world, dominated species Macrocystis pyrifera . This presents high ecophysiological plasticity being able to inhabit heterogeneous environments, characteristic of fjord...
Egg masses of the Patagonian squid Doryteuthis (Amerigo) gahi attached to giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in Magellanic channels sub-Antarctic ecoregion southern South America is documented for first time. Of seven egg observed between 2008 and 2011, one was taken laboratory be analysed photographed. Comprising long transparent capsules containing eggs, were strongly stipes M. pyrifera. This macroalgae a potentially important economic resource due its multiple industrial uses; this study...
Abstract Indigenous peoples have been monitoring and managing the natural resources in their homelands waters for millennia. Meanwhile, social–ecological systems thinkers are embracing capacity of knowledge systems, which informed by land‐based practices, to inform adaptive management. Following collaborative design a community‐based system over two traditional seafood harvesting seasons, we conducted conceptual framework analysis meeting notes interview transcripts with Gitga'at harvesters...
Abstract Reciprocal relationships between fishers and marine life have been documented in Indigenous fishing contexts, but there are few case studies that describe the mechanisms of such relationships, even fewer explore other as artisanal Latin American countries. We studied hake fishery sub‐Antarctic channels Chilean Patagonia, a global hotspot for albatross petrel diversity. aimed to uncover nature's contributions and, reciprocally, potential fishers' with particular emphasis on seabirds....
Las zonas costeras de Magallanes poseen alta diversidad macroalgas y moluscos. A su vez, han sido habitadas por pueblos originarios, como el pueblo yagán, que desarrollado una variedad interacciones bioculturales con los ecosistemas costeros. Este trabajo es un estudio interdisciplinario ecológico, etno-ecológico filosófico utiliza marco conceptual la ética biocultural para caracterizar hábitat intermareal en contexto del yagán a través composición habitantes moluscos, vinculado hábitos...
Knowledge about the marine malacofauna in Magellan Region has been gained from many scientific expeditions that were carried out during 19th century. However, despite information exists molluscs Region, there is a lack of studies assemblages co-occurring with macroalgae, especially commercially exploitable algae such as Gigartina skottsbergii, species currently represents largest portion carrageenans within Chilean industry. The objective this study to inform richness, systematics, and...
Interactions between algae and herbivores can be affected by various factors, such as seasonality habitat structure. Among inhabiting marine systems, species of the order Patellogastropoda are considered key organisms in many rocky coasts world. Nacella one most dominant macro-herbivores on shores sub-Antarctic ecoregion Magellan. However, importance its role must associated with trophic ecology. The objective this work was to evaluate spatial temporal variabilities dietary composition two...
Glacial episodes of the Quaternary, and particularly Last Maximum (LGM) drastically altered distribution Southern-Hemisphere biota, principally at higher latitudes. The irregular coastline Patagonia expanding for more than 84.000 km constitutes a remarkable area to evaluate effect Quaternary landscape seascape shifts over demography near-shore marine benthic organisms. Few studies describing biogeographic responses species LGM have been conducted in Patagonia, but existing data from coastal...
