In this ethnobotany study carried out in the Tenharim indigenous territory, located in the interior of the State of Amazonas, Brazil, it was verified, through interviews, the rich biocultural heritage of this indigenous people, which uses hundreds of plant species for different purposes, such as medicinal, food, crafts, firewood, tools and buildings in general. The objective of this study was to survey the knowledge that the Tenharim have about the existing vegetation in their territory, and how this information is transmitted. The wide variety of registered plant species demonstrated that the use of plants is very comprehensive. This biocultural heritage is held collectively, and the survival of knowledge depends on the quality of communication. The knowledge acquired by the ancients continues to be transmitted to new generations orally and, more recently, through writing, guaranteeing the maintenance and preservation of traditional Tenharim culture.

What we call fantastic, one of the dimensions of the supernatural, is, in turn, understood as one of the forms of the real by the indigenous people. This study sought to document the rich culture of the fantastic entities of indigenous populations from different regions of the Amazon, from which folkloric and demonic beliefs often emerge. The purpose of this article is to expand and develop an understanding of an aesthetic, semiotic, metaphorical, and symbolic order of the indigenous culture of the Amazon, through sensitivity, ecological awareness, and respect for the culture and history of these traditional peoples. The method of this study aligns with the Indigenous worldview, and respect, and upholds its relational significance. It transcribes lived and presented cultural experiences with a rich use of metaphors, stories, and symbols, of sound and visual features and landscapes as an experience of living space, exploring the environmental, mythical, and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples.

ABSTRACT Traditional ecological knowledge is a system of knowledge that reflects the adaptation of human populations to their environment. The objective of this study was to accomplish a knowledge survey of the Arara indigenous on the birds of natural occurrence in their territory, and the understanding that these indigenous people have about the diversity of birds and their interrelationships, according to their common characteristics and ecological connections. The studies were carried out with indigenous people of the Arara ethnic group, residents of the Arara's Big Bend of Xingu Indigenous Land, in the State of Pará, Brazil, in the Amazon rainforest. As a method for collecting the data was used open and semi-structured interviews. The basis of this approach encompasses a socio-affective construction of knowledge. This method aligns with the Indigenous worldview, respects and upholds its relational significance, transcribes lived and presented cultural experiences with a rich use of metaphors, stories, and symbols, with sound and visual features and landscapes as an experience of living space, exploring the environmental, mythical and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples.

The diversity of birds is directly correlated with the structure of the forest. Any interfering with the vegetation produces direct effects on the avifauna through the increase, decrease, or alternation of two key attributes: food and shelter. Thus, the composition of life in the forest is altered as changes occur in vegetation that directly interferes with the population structure of the avifauna, be those changes natural or anthropic. This study was realized in fragments of the Amazon Rainforest, and the main objective was to analyze the behavior of frugivorous and omnivorous birds in three different stages of ecological succession. In forest environments where a vertical stratification of resources occurs, these species are distributed occupying a in a high diversity of trophic niches. The diversity and density of the frugivorous and omnivorous birds in the forest fragments in medium and advanced stage of ecological succession could be directly correlated not only with the structure of the forest, but also to the fact that these birds feed almost exclusively on abundant and easy to find food sources - shrub and tree fruit of certain vegetable species that are naturally abundant in the rainforest understory layer.

A cultural keystone species has great significance to a particular culture or a people, who influence the social systems and culture of a community's identity. The objective of this study was to carry out a survey on the importance of the jaguar in the way of life of indigenous people of Brazilian territory. The studies were carried out with Indigenous people living in the Brazilian Amazon, from the Juruna, Arara, Tenharim, and Mura ethnic groups, and in the Savannah biome, from the Bororo, Xavante, Guarani Kaiowá and Guarani Ñandeva ethnic groups. The approach used in this study was qualitative because the data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, following free dialogues in obtaining descriptive data from the reports of the target audience. There are many narratives about aspects of the jaguar because this feline is one of the most important animals in the cosmology of the people who inhabit the Brazilian forests and savannas.

The forests along Brazil’s Atlantic coast have undergone extensive transformation from clearing for pastures, eucalyptus forests, agricultural crops, and urban expansion. In this study we described the avian community in a coastal Restinga Forest near the city of Ubatuba, in the São Paulo State, Brazil. The method used to sample the avifauna specimens was the technique of observations per point-counts, and random observations were also carried. The bird’s observations were realized in 84 days during all four seasons out between the years 2005 and 2007 and were registered 142 bird species distributed among 18 orders and 41 families and categorized in 17 trophic guilds. The omnivores and insectivores birds composed most of the community, occupying the edge and different strata of the forest such as canopy and understory. The great abundance of omnivores birds may be directly related to the abundant fruit resources, and also with the great abundance of understory insectivores are indication of the good environmental quality of the studied area.

The composition of life in the forest is altered as changes occur in vegetation that directly interferes with the population structure of the avifauna. The integrity and complexity of a forest are the factors that influence the composition, abundance, and probably the functions of the assembly of different bird species. In that way, in forest environments, where a vertical stratification of resources occurs, these species are distributed occupying a high diversity of trophic niches. This study realized in forest fragments of Atlantic Forest in a metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, was to analyze the bird's distribution in trophic guilds, according to vertical stratification to different ecological successional stages of vegetation. The forest fragment in an advanced stage of secondary regeneration showed the highest number of bird species and was better distributed in trophic guilds and in the vertical structure of the forest, which indicates a better quality status in comparison to the other forest fragments in an initial and medium stage of ecological succession.

We analyzed the differences in composition, richness, and abundance of birds in different forest fragments of the Brazilian Savanna in the Cuiabá River basin, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, and we demonstrated the variations in richness and abundance of birds between different trophic guilds. We used point counts to characterize the avifauna. Sampling was conducted in two seasons: summer and winter of 2018 in a total of 36 hours distributed in 108 samples. A total of 743 contacts were obtained belonging to 87 bird species distributed among 17 orders and 33 families and categorized in 16 trophic guilds. The omnivorous and insectivorous birds composed most of the community. For each species, we calculated the abundance index value that showed our study site had a large number of species with low index and few species with intermediate to high index compared to the pattern observed in other surveys. Our study area was characterized by high species diversity for both periods studied. The Shannon-Weaver diversity index for our study areas was 3.90 for the summer period and 3.77 for the winter period. Equitability was high, 0.82 for the summer period and 0.79 for the winter period, suggesting the number of species registered in our study site represented the maximum capacity the areas can shelter. Our results show that despite being a secondary and fragmented forest the study area was characterized by a diverse avian community. The ciliary forest studied that follows the Cuiabá River, although fragmented and isolated by extensive degraded areas and occupied by pastures and agricultural crops, they are important natural environments to maintain bird diversity.
