Tissue Culture Techniques for Native Amazonian Fruit Trees

, 2012
In recent decades, the production of native fruits of the Amazon showed significant growth, mainly due to expansion of area for fruit production. It is noteworthy that this activity has had little impact on native vegetation, since most of the orchards were planted in areas previously occupied by other crops for market problems or environmental issues ...

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3236-3249, October 2026.
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3416-3429, October 2026.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Amazonian bioactives: antioxidant valorization of fruit residues

Universitas Scientiarum
Amazonian fruits constitute a promising source of bioactive compounds with functional and nutraceutical potential, particularly their non-edible fractions such as peels and seeds, which are commonly discarded as agro-industrial residues.

Linking genetic variability to fruit and pyrene traits in Endopleura uchi genotypes from the Eastern Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Endopleura uchi is a valuable tree species with significant nutraceutical potential and extensive applications. However, there is a lack of information regarding genetic parameters and the characterization of phenotypic variability that could be applied ...

Participatory mapping and Nature's Contributions to People: Insights from the Amazon Delta

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3618-3632, October 2026.
Abstract Understanding how traditional and coastal communities perceive and interact with nature is key to promoting inclusive conservation. This article examines human–nature interaction in the fishing village of Jubim, located in the Marajó Archipelago, delta of the Amazon River, Brazil.

Management‐Driven Effects in Soil Physicochemical Properties and Microbial Communities in Eastern Amazonian Agroforests [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Agroforestry management effects on soil microbiota were assessed in Eastern Amazon systems. Soil properties were similar, but microbiomes differed with management practices. Organic inputs reduced phytopathogenic fungi and promoted beneficial microbial taxa. Chemically managed systems showed signs of stress‐associated microbial shifts.

Impacts of Species Introductions on the Trait Diversity of Interacting Avian Frugivores and Fleshy‐Fruited Plants Depend on Native Trait Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.
