“…The tools used for information analysis were the following: (i) Specialized software Atlas Ti V.6.0 to analyze of social research data [44] and (ii) a matrix of units and categories of analysis [45]. To fulfill of the objectives of this study, the following variables of analysis were defined in relation to water and land management: (i) stories [46] on myths associated with cultural practices; (ii) rituals, offerings, and sacred places [47]; (iii) community habits and customs [48]; (iv) needs met [49] by water and land in the community; (v) factors of change and loss of ancestral knowledge [50].…”

The identification and analysis of mythical images and ancestral practices that make up the ethnos of a community allow us to know its ways of existing in the cosmos. The objective of this paper is to analyze the ancestral experiences associated with the dynamics of socio-environmental management that the Emberá Indigenous reserve (Chocó, Colombia) carries out for the conservation of water and land. This study is qualitative and ideographic. We also adopted an ethnographic approach to provide a detailed description of water and land management practices, which correspond to their cultural patterns. Using Atlas Ti V.6.0 software, we identify and analyze these cultural patterns. The results show that the ecosystemic relationships offered by the Emberá worldview are part of a true connection with their spiritual world, which fosters respect for the natural elements and understanding of universal natural laws. These relationships are manifested through gifts and penance. The Emberá beliefs and religion are a possible methodology for the sustainable management of water and land and, consequently, of the basin where they live. The success of their ethnodevelopment depends significantly on the power figures of their culture: the Jaibana (their gods), the elders, and the Emberá woman as a cultural agent. The Emberá worldview is possibly a valid instrument to enable the sustainable development of modern communities.

This study analyzed field and acclimatized (7 days) mangrove Ucides cordatus crabs from polluted and unpolluted environments to compare their HSP70 levels. The animals were cryo-anesthetized and dissected. Gills (anterior and posterior) and hepatopancreas were collected to evaluate total proteins and HSP70 levels using ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method. The acclimatized animals from polluted environments showed higher HSP70 levels in the hepatopancreas than field animals. Results showed higher HSP70 levels in laboratory animals from the polluted environment than in field animals in the posterior gills. The regulation to decrease the damage caused by the environment and the acclimatization process may not be sufficient to stabilize physiological responses, especially in animals from polluted environments.

“…Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) é uma espécie de caranguejo semiterrestre pertencente à família Ocypodidae e exclusivo de áreas de manguezais na costa leste do Atlântico com distribuição desde a Flórida nos Estados Unidos até Laguna, em Santa Catarina no Brasil (MELO, 1996). É importante componente da fauna bentônica (ABDULLAH; LEE, 2016) e considerado espécie-chave do ecossistema, pois atua na bioturbação do sedimento e participa da ciclagem dos nutrientes pelo processo de escavação das suas galerias (TOGNELLA et al, 2019), além de ser um importante recurso pesqueiro para comunidades tradicionais em todo litoral brasileiro (FIRMO et al, 2011;FIRMO et al, 2017;ANDRADE et al, 2017;NASCIMENTO et al, 2017;SOUZA et al, 2018;REZENDE, 2019;PINHEIRO, 2020). Alimentase principalmente da serapilheira, destacando-se as folhas de Rhizophora mangle, e da matéria orgânica no sedimento (NORDHAUS; WOLF, 2007).…”

This study aimed to estimate the fecundity of Ucides cordatus key species for the mangrove ecosystem. Fecundity in crustaceans is defined as the number of eggs produced during the spawning, generally evaluated by the relationship between cephalothorax width and number of eggs. Ovigerous female (n = 45) were collected in the estuary of the São Mateus River, Espírito Santo. Morphological variables (width, carapace length and wet weight) were measured and the ovigerous mass collected. Fertility was estimated by the gravimetric technique. The population, on average, had a cephalothorax width (WC) of 59.91 (± 9.10 mm), wet weight (WW) of 91.58 (± 36.06 g), wet weight of ovigerous mass (WOM) in 8.27 (± 2.98 g), and fecundity (F) in 170.080 ± (31.859 eggs/female). Fertility and the other variables showed positive correlations (p < 0.05), confirming that the increase in the number of eggs is closely related to the body increase. The variability of F as a function of LC was explained by the Potential model (R² = 0.45; p < 0.05), used to predict the number of eggs produced by females with different sizes, in a given population. Analyzes of the estimated reproductive potential contributes to public policies for managing the species, as it diagnoses environmental changes arising from impacts and pressures to capture. This study supports management actions and sustainable exploitation of this important ecological and economic resource, due to the scarcity of studies involving the reproductive attributes of the species in Brazil.
