“…This opens the possibilities to search not only for documental sources but also for other historical data corresponding with periods during which human impacts were not registered as ecological data [19]. Social perception studies can be helpful when no official data is available or incomplete [106].…”

“…Out of the whole universe of articles, 23 focused on a particular species. The species that figured as the central theme of investigation are a protozoan species from the genus Plasmodium as an agent of malaria in humans and other primates [71]; fish species such as largetooth sawfish (Pristis pristis) and goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) [116], and lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris) [106]; the neotropical otter (Lontra longicaudis) and the giant Quilombolas are traditional Afro-descendant Brazilian people, formed by ex-enslaved people, enslaved who fled from captivity, and the ones that were born free. Their name derives from the places where they sought refuge, the quilombos.…”

Historical Ecology in Brazil: A Systematic Mapping of Scientific Articles (1998–2021)

Historical Ecology is a multidisciplinary field that studies long-term relationships between humanity and the environment. There is a missing synthesis effort to organize and present the state of the scholarship in Historical Ecology in Brazil. We aimed to characterize by whom, when, where, what, and how research in Historical Ecology has been conducted in Brazil. We made a systematic mapping of 118 scientific articles published in Portuguese, Spanish, and English that fit our inclusion criteria. The results showed articles from 1998 to May 2021, published in 79 different journals. We found 264 national and international authors (60% men and 40%women); 91% of all investigations were carried out in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes. There are few works about Cerrado, Caatinga, and Pampa, and none for Pantanal. The most mentioned keywords were historical ecology, Amazon, forest, and archaeology. Twenty-three articles focused on a particular species, primarily plants; 37% of all articles used Historical Ecology as its central axis of research, and 63% as auxiliary. We found more than 35 methodological procedures, both from the social and natural sciences. This overview revealed achievements, research gaps, and opportunities in this field.

“…For example, in some articles researchers essentialise fishers’ knowledge of marine environments as the TEK related to underwater ecologies that characterizes a whole group and is relevant to science (e.g. Barbosa-Filho et al, 2020; Bulengela et al, 2020). In other cases, the logic behind essentialism is unclear.…”

Culture and tradition have long been the domains of social science, particularly social/cultural anthropology and various forms of heritage studies. However, many environmental scientists whose research addresses environmental management, conservation, and restoration are also interested in traditional ecological knowledge, indigenous and local knowledge, and local environmental knowledge (hereafter TEK), not least because policymakers and international institutions promote the incorporation of TEK in environmental work. In this article, we examine TEK usage in peer-reviewed articles by environmental scientists published in 2020. This snapshot of environmental science scholarship includes both critical discussions of how to incorporate TEK in research and management and efforts to do so for various scholarly and applied purposes. Drawing on anthropological discussions of culture, we identify two related patterns within this literature: a tendency toward essentialism and a tendency to minimize power relationships. We argue that scientists whose work reflects these trends might productively engage with knowledge from the scientific fields that study culture and tradition. We suggest productive complicity as a reflexive mode of partnering, and a set of questions that facilitate natural scientists adopting this approach: What and/or who is this TEK for? Who and what will benefit from this TEK deployment? How is compensation/credit shared? Does this work give back and/or forward to all those involved?

“…Although the Shifting Baseline Syndrome (SBS) is addressed in several studies where this concept has been demonstrated (e.g., Giglio et al 2015;Barbosa-Filho et al 2020), an effort to improve the understanding under which conditions guide cases of change is required, also taking into account the spatial scale in which they occur (Soga and Gaston 2018). Studies on artisanal fisher ethnoknowledge serve as an excellent object to broaden ecosystem understanding (Ladislau et al 2021) and offers not only a data source for the observation of temporal patterns, unavailable in the academic literature or monitoring bodies, but also allows for the assessment of cases of change in isolated and restricted communities concerning their ability to move and exploit resources (Soga and Gaston 2018).…”

An ethnoichthyological survey was conducted with fishers from traditional communities distributed between the Lakes Region and the northern Fluminense region, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.The study was developed based on semi-structured interviews, with fishers with at least 30 years of experience. Fishers were asked about changes noted for the biological communities with which they interact with, such as reports concerning abundance changes, the disappearance of certain species or the insertion of new ones, as well as weight and size changes. The reported ethno-names were confirmed at the specific level whenever possible through photographs and complementary descriptions. Eighty-five fishers aged between 39 to 83 years old were interviewed. Fishing activity times ranged from 30 to 68 years, averaging 40.6 years. Fishers reported differing estimates from what was expected according to the known length-weight relationship for the reported species. In general, length estimates were closer to the expected for medium-sized fish from 0.3 m to 1 m. Sixty-nine ethno-names and their variations were identified, associated with 58 fish categories. Of this total, denominations were associated to 47 local fauna species or genera, while one ethno-name was not linked to any taxonomic identification. This study is the result of research financed by the Brazilian Fund for Biodiversity and the Pescarte Environmental Education Project, a mitigation measure required by the Federal Environmental Licensing, conducted by IBAMA.
