“…Humankind has caused many alterations to natural habitats (Albuquerque, 1999;Casas et al, 1999;Pesci, 2004). Most anthropogenic pressure on natural habitats is related to agriculture and pasture establishment, for which various management strategies are used (Sampaio, 2002).…”

“…Closer study of these aspects will help us to understand the influence of habitat fragmentation upon ecological processes (Albuquerque, 1999;Araújo et al, 2007). Examples of this type of study include the work of Oaxaca-Villa et al (2006), AriasCóyotl et al (2006), Casas et al (1999) and Lira and Casas (1998) concerning Cactaceae species that are used as a food source by people in a semi-arid region in central Mexico.…”

a b s t r a c tIn areas under different management conditions (management units, MUs) located either on a slope or at the base of a slope and either in a plantation or in a pasture, we compared the flower and fruit production, floral visitors, visitation rates and pre-emergent reproductive success (PERS) of Spondias tuberosa (Anacardiaceae) in an area of dry forest in NE Brazil. Individuals in the plantation MU produced more flowers per inflorescence than those in other MUs, but there were no statistical differences in mean fruit set among MUs. The only difference in mean visitation rates was between the plantation (65.83 AE 38.49) and the slope sites (11.5 AE 12.8). We observed visits by 19 insect species, including bees (31.6%), butterflies (31.6%), wasps (26.3%) and flies (10.5%). A clustering analysis based on the number of visits showed that a) the plantation site is most different from the other MUs, b) the pasture and the site at the base of the slope are similar to the slope site, and c) the higher frequency of visits of pollinators in the plantation MU was responsible for these differences. Of the 19 species of insects visiting the flowers, 12 were considered pollinators. The pollinator similarity analysis indicated a clear separation between areas and suggested that human activity has resulted in the replacement of native pollinators by exotic species. However, these changes apparently have not affected the pre-emergent reproductive success of S. tuberosa. Our results show that plant reproductive biology in semi-arid ecosystems may be modified by human action and that changes in floral production and pollinator guilds are the most conspicuous effects. However, the traditional management performed by local people may not affect the reproductive success of plant species.

“…Do mesmo modo, é importante ressaltar que a investigação etnobotânica também contribui para o desenvolvimento de novas formas de exploração dos ecossistemas, beneficiando recursos que promovam o uso e manejo sustentáveis se contrapondo às formas de devastação atual (ALBUQUERQUE, 1999).…”

ResumoO objetivo deste artigo foi inventariar as plantas utilizadas na medicina popular pelos membros da comunidade rural de Santa Rita, no município de Ituiutaba -MG. A avaliação foi realizada por meio de entrevistas, com um questionário semiestruturado, e posterior coleta das plantas indicadas pelos informantes. Foram realizadas 47 entrevistas e 127 espécies foram listadas, pertencentes a 55 famílias de Angiospermas. Para obtenção dos dados quantitativos foi calculada a porcentagem de Concordância de Usos Principais (CUP) de cada espécie; para identificar as indicações terapêuticas de maior importância, utilizou-se o Fator de Consenso dos Informantes (FCI). A CUP demonstrou que 5,5% das plantas citadas são amplamente utilizadas pela comunidade. As famílias botânicas predominantes foram Lamiaceae e Asteraceae, com 14 e 13 registros, respectivamente. A indicação de uso predominante envolveu, principalmente, afecções relacionadas a distúrbio emocional, conforme indicado pelo FCI. Salienta-se que 60,7% das plantas citadas neste artigo são espécies exóticas; desse modo, se faz necessário mais estudos para catalogar o conhecimento sobre as plantas medicinais nativas dessa região. Palavras-chave: Cerrado; Etnobotânica; Medicina popular AbstractEthnobotanical study of medicinal plants in the community of Santa Rita, Ituiutaba -Minas Gerais, Brazil. This paper aimed to inventory the plants used in popular medicine by members of the rural community of Santa Rita, in the town of Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The evaluation was carried out through interviews, with a semi-structured questionnaire and subsequent collection of the plants indicated by informants. One conducted 47 interviews and 127 species were listed, belonging to 55 Angiosperm families. For obtaining the quantitative data, one calculated the percentage of the Main Use Concordance (cMUC) of each species; for identifying the therapeutic indications with greater importance, one used the Informant Consensus Factor (ICF). The cMUC showed that 5.5% of the plants mentioned are widely used by the community. The predominant botanical families registered were Lamiaceae and Asteraceae, with 14 and 13 records, respectively. The indication of predominant use mainly involved illnesses related to an emotional disorder, as indicated by the ICF. One emphasizes that 60.7% of the plants mentioned in this paper are exotic species; thus, there's a need for further studies in order to catalogue knowledge on the medicinal plants which are native to this region.
