Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at
