Abstract Land‐cover change and ecosystem degradation may lead to biotic homogenization, yet our understanding of this phenomenon over large spatial scales different groups remains weak. We used a multi‐taxa dataset from 335 sites 36 heterogeneous landscapes in the Brazilian Amazon examine potential for landscape‐scale processes modulate cumulative effects local disturbances. Biotic homogenization was high production areas but much less disturbed regenerating forests, where levels among‐site...
Science has a critical role to play in guiding more sustainable development trajectories. Here, we present the Sustainable Amazon Network (Rede Amazônia Sustentável, RAS): multidisciplinary research initiative involving than 30 partner organizations working assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The approach adopted by RAS offers three advantages for addressing problems: (i) collection synchronized co-located socioeconomic data...
Stingless honey bees— commonly known as stingless have long provided food and materials to the inhabitants of tropical America. We conducted a literature search codify available information, including non-peer reviewed ‘grey literature’, on purported value bees indigenous people. Among >400 species Neotropical several are widely used in beekeeping. Varied cultural economic values associated with their use, some cases husbandry, consequence ongoing contact between people these social...
Abstract The açaí palm Euterpe oleracea Mart. in the Amazon river delta has seen rapid expansion to meet increased demand for its fruit. This been achieved by transforming lowland forest habitats (floodplains) into simplified agroforests and intensive plantation upland areas. As makes an important contribution economy food security of local communities, identifying management approaches that support biodiversity ecosystem processes underpin fruit production on farms is essential. We compared...
Invasive species can reach high abundances and dominate native environments. One of the most impressive examples ecological invasions is spread African subspecies honey bee throughout Americas, starting from its introduction in a single locality Brazil. The invasive expected to more negatively impact community abundance diversity than dominant species, but this has not been tested previously. We developed comprehensive systematic sampling scheme, using protocol deploying 11,520 pan traps...
This study was carried out with cultivated Brazil nut trees ( Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl., Lecythidaceae) in the Central Amazon rainforest, Brazil, aiming to learn about its pollination requirements, know floral visitors of flowers, investigate their foraging behavior and determine main this plant species commercial plantations. Results showed that B. is predominantly allogamous, but capable setting fruits by geitonogamy. Nineteen bee species, belonging two families, visited collected nectar...
The conservation status of pollinators and pollination in Latin America (LA) is reviewed. knowledge regarding native managed (e.g., honeybee stingless bees) services was synthetized, the guidelines to improve opportunities for are provided, considering threats perspectives from traditional local knowledge. analysis indicates that diverse large-scale agriculture, deforestation, overuse agrochemicals) linked with pollinator decline, which affect reproduction most plants yields many crops. LA...
A região amazônica é conhecida pela grande diversidade florística. Isso deve-se, entre outras razões, aos variados fatores ambientais que promovem diversas associações os componentes bióticos de cada ecossistema. floresta densa terra firme a tipologia vegetal mais presente nessa região, ocorrendo em áreas altas do relevo. mineração uma das atividades antrópicas alteram ecossistemas, devido à retirada camadas superficiais solo, o leva supressão vegetação e outros. Nosso objetivo foi fazer um...
Animal pollination is an important ecosystem function and service, ensuring both the integrity of natural systems human well-being. Although many knowledge shortfalls remain, some high-quality data sets on biological interactions are now available. The development adoption standards for biodiversity metadata has promoted great advances in sharing aggregation, supporting large-scale studies science-based public policies. However, these currently not suitable to fully support interaction...
Jacaranda copaia (Aubl.) D. Don is a pioneer tree widespread in the Brazilian Amazon, usually found colonizing forest gaps and altered areas, fragment edges. This study investigated aspects of floral biology, breeding system pollinators J. trees. Flowering lasts from August to November, during low rainfall period extending up four weeks per 3-4 months for population as whole, characterizing cornucopia flowering pattern. The fruit set ends beginning rainy season, with wind dispersed winged...
Crop pollination is one of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) that reconciles biodiversity conservation and agricultural production. NCP benefits vary across space, including among distinct political-administrative levels within nations. Moreover, initiatives restore ecosystems may enhance provision, such as crop delivered by native pollinators. We mapped demand (PD), diversity pollinator-dependent crops, vegetation deficit (VD) (vis-a-vis Brazilian legal requirements) all 5570...
O camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia (H.B.K.) McVaugh, Myrtaceae) é uma fruteira nativa que ocorre nas margens de rios e lagos inundáveis da Amazônia, está sendo domesticada visando o cultivo em terra firme. alto teor ácido ascórbico nos frutos, cerca 2.800 mg.100g-1 polpa, fortalece a demanda para consumo no país exportação. No período 1997 1998, investigou-se biologia floral fenologia reprodutiva do camu-camu, plantios Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, Belém, áreas ocorrência natural, Santarém Oriximiná,...
