Therefore, the objective of this work was to carry out a collection of publications on NTFPs in Brazil, until 2019, available in the Scopus database, presenting a bibliometric review and the state of the art of this theme from the evaluation of these publications, discussing the challenges of Brazilian legislation on NTFPs. After screening the articles of interest, 196 documents were evaluated, in which they were observed institutions and authors, analyzing networks of citations and terms used, areas of forest sciences and sciences that encompass the most explored biomes and the most studied species. The results showed that the concern to research on NTFPs in Brazil began in the 1990s, with an increase in the number of publications over the years. Besides that, the research on NTFPs is multidisciplinary, with emphasis on the areas of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science.

Studies conducted in river Ererê located in the left margin of Negro River, municipality of Barcelos, state of Amazonas, have confirmed that Rhodnius brethesi has as its natural habitat the palm tree Leopoldinia piassaba. By scanning electron microscopy, sensillum type was studied on the antennae of R. brethesi. The specimens used come from the field and laboratory colony. No differences were observed between R. brethesi and other Triatominae studied. In the R. brethesi antennas, differences were observed only between the antennal segments and in the dorsal and ventral portions.

  • A Revision of Leopoldinia (Arecaceae)
    Phytotaxa 32: 1–17 (2011) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2011 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) A revision of Leopoldinia (Arecaceae) ANDREW HENDERSON The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A taxonomic revision of the Neotropical palm genus Leopoldinia based on morphological data and morphometric methods was carried out. One hundred and sixteen herbarium specimens were scored for seven qualitative and 24 quantitative variables. Qualitative variables were divided into six characters and one trait. Using the Phylogenetic Species Concept, the six characters were used to recognize three species. These are widely distributed in the central Amazon region of Brazil and adjacent Venezuela and Colombia. Nomenclature, descriptions, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided for each taxon. Key words: Palmae, morphometrics, Neotropics, Rio Negro Introduction The small, Neotropical genus Leopoldinia Martius (1823–1837: 58) comprises just three species confined to the central Amazon region. So different is the morphology of the genus from related genera, especially the elaborate leaf sheaths and trilocular, triovulate gynoecium, that the genus has been placed in its own tribe of the Arecoideae, the Leopoldinieae (Dransfield et al. 2008). This tribe, along with the Areceae, Euterpeae, Geonomateae, Manicarieae and Pelagodoxeae, make up the ‘core arecoid clade’ (Dransfield et al. 2008), although relationships amongst these tribes are not well resolved (Baker et al. 2009, Baker et al. 2011). While there have never been any problems with generic delimitation, there are doubts over species boundaries in Leopoldinia. Martius described two species, L.

  • Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses
    «fem \J (Fft Ford & West hth London PALM TREES OF THE AMAZON AND THEIR USES. BY ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE. WITH FORTY-EIGHT PLATES, LONDON: JOHN VAN VOORST, I PATERNOSTER ROW 1853, PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS3 RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. IDiU PREFACE. 1 HE materials for this work were collected during my travels on the Amazon and its tributaries from 1848 to 1852. Though principally occupied with the varied and interesting animal productions of the country, I yet found time to examine and admire the wonders of vegetable life which everywhere abounded. In the vast forests of the Amazon valley, tropical vegetation is to be seen in all its luxuriance. Huge trees with but- tressed stems, tangled climbers of fantastic forms, and strange parasitical plants everywhere meet the admiring gaze of the naturalist fresh from the meadows and heaths of Europe. Everywhere too rise the graceful Palms, true denizens of the tropics, of which they are — IV PREFACE. the most striking and characteristic feature. In the districts which I visited they were everywhere abundant, and I soon became interested in them, from their great variety and beauty of form and the many uses to which they are applied. I first endeavoured to familiarize myself with the aspect of each species and to learn to know it by its native name; but even this was not a very easy matter, for I was often unable to see any dif- ference between trees which the Indians assured me were quite distinct, and had widely different properties and uses. More close examination, however, convinced me that external characters did exist by which every species could be separated from those most nearly allied to it, and I was soon pleased to find that I could di- stinguish one palm from another, though barely visible above the surrounding forest, almost as certainly as the natives themselves.

My advisor Beryl Simpson gave me this opportunity and I will be forever thankful to her for this, as pursuing a career as a plant biologist had been a dream of mine for years. Her unconditional support was instrumental in allowing me to broaden my knowledge of plant systematics and as a foundation for allowing me to develop further my critical thinking and writing abilities. She always guided me in my writing with a great deal of encouragement, compassion, and patience. I will miss our weekly meetings and think back fondly to the many great conversations we had.

  • Use, Production and Conservation of Palm Fiber in South America: a Review
    © Kamla-Raj 2013 J Hum Ecol, 42(1): 69-93 (2013) Use, Production and Conservation of Palm Fiber in South America: A Review Carolina Isaza1, Rodrigo Bernal2 and Patricia Howard1 1Anthropology Department, University of Kent at Canterbury 2Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Current Address) Apartado 7495, Bogotá, Colombia (Actual) E-mail: 1<[email protected]>; 2 <[email protected]; 1<[email protected]> KEYWORDS Arecaceae. Fiber. Conservation. Forest Extraction. Forest Products. Palms. South America. Sustainable Use ABSTRACT South American ethnic groups traditionally use palm fiber, which provides materials for domestic, commercial, and ceremonial purposes. A literature review of 185 references was carried out in order to identify and understand the extent of palm fiber production and the sustainability of harvesting and use in South America. The reports recorded 111 palm species and 37 genera used for fiber in the region; the genera Attalea, Astrocaryum and Syagrus had the highest diversity of fiber-producing species. Mauritia flexuosa and Astrocaryum chambira were the species mostly reported and with the largest number of object types manufactured with their fibers. The geographical distribution of the species use nearly overlaps the natural distribution of palms in South America, reaching its highest diversity in northern Amazonia, where palms are used mostly by indigenous people and peasants. The techniques used for extraction, harvesting and processing are usually basic and minimal. Most species are represented by wild populations found on common lands, the little detailed information available suggests that when use is intensive it is mosly unsustainable, and those with a greater market demand usually become locally extinct.

  • 6 Latin American Region
    Tropical Palms 119 6 LATIN AMERICAN REGION New World palms and their products is the subject of this chapter. The region is defined as extending north-south from Mexico to Chile and Argentina, and including the islands of the Caribbean. Palm species diversity in this region is second only to Asia. Glassman (1972) recognized over 1,100 palm species in the Americas (including the United States). However, in a field guide to New World palms, Henderson et al. (1995) consider there to be only 550 palm species native to the Americas. This significant difference in species totals is attributable to the many synonymous names included in the higher figure and the fact that Henderson et al. (1995) follow a broad species concept resulting in the lower number. Over the last two decades, research in the biological and social sciences has helped to generate a reliable body of knowledge about the utilization patterns and scientific names of Latin American palms. This knowledge has come from several different approaches, and can be illustrated by the following examples grouped into five categories. General palm studies. The survey of the major underutilized palms of tropical America (FAO/CATIE, 1984) is an excellent source of information. Papers in the palm symposium proceedings (Balick, 1988b) primarily deal with the Latin American region. Balick (1984, 1989) also has provided surveys of palm ethnobotany and diversity of use in the region. A natural resource approach was used by Kahn (1991) in a study of palms in swamp forests of the Amazon. Kahn and de Granville (1992), in their study of palm forest ecosystems of Amazonia, provide data on leaf and fruit productivity which have direct relevance to exploiting palm products.
