As a linguist, I consider myselfex- tremely lucky. Not only is Panará a fascinating language, but it is spoken by beautiful people. To all the Panará I am extremely thankful, jy ra inkin pyt- insi. Special thanks go to my teacher and friend Perankô Panará, my adoptive family, and the many people who took the time to talk to me and help me understand their language, too numerous to name individually. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my promotors Jan-Wouter Zwart and Francesc Queixalós. Jan-Wouter has supervised my research with encouragement and support beyond what I could have reasonably expected. His feedback and discussion have been integral to my growth both as a lin- guist and as an academic. Francesc supervised me through my MA in Paris vii–Diderot, and saw me off to the field with encouragement and good advice (modèstia, prudència i bon humor amb els indis). I was fortunate to count with his input also in my PhD. I am also thankful to my assessment committee, Amy Rose Deal, Jack Hoeksema and Leo Wetzels not only for reading my manuscript and accepting to approve it, but also for their feedback. In Brazil, I was lucky to find many people who have supported me along the way. I am indebted to Luciana Storto from the University of São Paulo for not only providing me with institutional affiliation, but also for her constant support and feedback. In Belém, Denny Moore provided endless advice and guidance in the many aspects of Amazonian fieldwork, including access to his safehouse for lost linguists. Bruna Franchetto got me in touch with the Panará in the first place, and she saw me off to my first visit to Nãsepotiti. My gratitude also extends to Hein van der Voort, Joshua Birchall, Rose Costa, Karol Obert, Filomena Sandalo, Kris Stenzel, Suzi Lima, Bruna Fernanda Lima. xii I would like to especially thank the Instituto Socioambiental, in particular André Villas Bôas, Paulo Junqueira and the Xingu team. Finally, I would like to thank the staff at FUNAI and CNPq who helped with my authorization processes. Being a Panará researcher allowed me to join the select club of Panará scholars. As it turns out, all of them are nice generous people. Luciana Dourado not only wrote the first scholarly work on the Panará language, but shealso sent me cherished advice and material. My relentless fieldwork companion Myriam Lapierre Kjêpyti was an invaluable support, and most of my cur- rent understanding of the sounds of Panará exists thanks to her. I would also like to thank the anthropologists Steve Schwartzmann Sejn, Elizabeth Ewart Kârânpô, and especially Fabiano Bechelany Kjãsôti and

  • Ancient Transformation, Current Conservation: Traditional Forest Management on the Iriri River, Brazilian Amazonia
    Human Ecology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-020-00139-3 Ancient Transformation, Current Conservation: Traditional Forest Management on the Iriri River, Brazilian Amazonia William Balée1 & Vinicius Honorato de Oliveira2 & Raquel dos Santos3 & Márcio Amaral4 & Bruna Rocha2 & Natalia Guerrero3 & Stephan Schwartzman5 & Mauricio Torres6 & Juarez Pezzuti6 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Legislation governing strict-protection nature reserves in Brazil in principle precludes human habitation, but virtually all Amazon reserves are nonetheless inhabited. Historical ecology research reported herein assesses the impacts of occupation and resource use by beiradeiros (forest peasants) on the forests of a strictly designated nature reserve in the Iriri River basin (Brazilian Amazon). The hypothesis is that traditional beiradeiros activities are congruent with the aims of conservation of the reserve because their impacts are either neutral or enhance diversity of forest landscapes and biota. We designed the methodology underlying data collection to integrate forest inventory with archaeological techniques in two contrasting forest types (terra firme and seasonally inundated forest), faunal surveys, freelisting of tree terms by beiradeiros, and participant observation, in order to determine biological diversity indices, forest age and the parameters of traditional knowledge that encode such diversity in local vocabulary. Our research results lead us to reject the premise that traditional peasant activities lead to ecological degradation or impoverishment, and suggest that the rationale underpinning strictly protected nature reserves should be re- examined.

  • Eastern Extension of the Geographic Range of Mico Emiliae
    ACTA AMAZONICA http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1809-4392201704392 SHORT COMMUNICATION Eastern extension of the geographic range of Mico emiliae Roberto Portella de ANDRADE, Italo MOURTHE, Victor SACCARDI, Emil José HERNÁNDEZ-RUZ* Universidade Federal do Pará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Biodiversidade e Conservação, Rua Coronel José Porfírio, 2515, Esplanada do Xingu, 68.372-040, Altamira, PA, Brazil * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The distribution of the callitrichids inhabiting the Tapajós-Xingu interfluvium is still poorly understood, probably because of the limited number of studies in this remote region. Mico emiliae is a callitrichid endemic to Brazil, occurring between the Jamanxim and Teles Pires rivers, and Serra do Cachimbo in the west and Iriri River in the east, in the states of Pará and Mato Grosso. However, its current distribution is still uncertain. After ca. 430-km surveys in Serra do Pardo National Park, we successfully confirmed the occurrence of this species for the first time approximately 180 km east of its previously known eastern limit in Pará. Our records expand the distribution of M. emiliae to the left bank of the Xingu River, increasing the known extent of its occurrence by 83%. KEYWORDS: eastern Amazonia; Snethlage’s marmoset; species distribution Extensão oriental da distribuição geográfica de Mico emiliae RESUMO A distribuição dos calitriquídeos que habitam o interflúvio Tapajós-Xingu ainda é pouco conhecida, provavelmente devido ao limitado número de estudos que ocorreram nesta região remota. Mico emiliae é um calitriquídeo endêmico do Brasil que ocorre na região limitada pelos rios Jamanxim e Teles Pires e pela Serra do Cachimbo ao oeste e Rio Iriri ao leste, nos estados do Pará e Mato Grosso.

This study aimed to accomplish a fast qualitative survey of the avifauna of the Terra do Meio Ecological Station (ESECTM), identifying species of relevant interest for the conservation (threatened, endemic, migrant and with high environmental sensibility species). Two expeditions were accomplished between March and May of 2008 in located areas in northern and western of ESECTM. The work consisted of identifying the species through visual and song registrations. At the second expedition captures were also accomplished with mist nets and collection of biological data. A total of 242 species, distributed in 55 families, were identified, with three threatened taxa. Although preliminaries, the results indicate that ESECTM presents potential for a larger richness of species, demonstrating to be an important area for the conservation of species at eastern Brazilian Amazonia. KEY WORDS. Amazonia, avifauna, survey, Xingu river, Iriri river. RESUMO. Este estudo objetivou realizar um levantamento qualitativo rápido da avifauna da Estação Ecológica Terra do Meio (ESECTM), identificando espécies de relevante interesse para a conservação (ameaçadas, endêmicas, migratórias e com alta sensibilidade ambiental).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of accessibility on hunting pressure by considering the mammal abundance and biomass of two protected areas belonging to different conservation categories -indigenous land and Ecological Station- in the Xingu River basin, eastern Amazon. For doing so, we used linear transection methods (total effort 240 km, in four tracks), camera traps (487 days) and complementary records. We also developed an accessibility coefficient based on the distance between navigable rivers and roads, and the center point of the sampled trails.

Part I offers a survey of the (relatively few) first hand descriptions of Brazil under Portuguese colonial rule by British and Irish visitors, most of whom did not stay very long and did not venture beyond the coastal towns, from the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century. It con- cludes with the first comprehensive history of colonial Brazil, written by an Englishman who never visited Brazil: the poet Robert Southey. Part II is a survey of the (many) books by British visitors to Brazil — and British residents in Brazil — from 1808, when the Portuguese Court, escorted by ships of the British Navy, transferred itself from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro and opened Brazil to international trade (and foreign visitors), and especially from 1822 when Brazil declared its independence from Portugal, to the Second World War — a period of more than a century in which Britain was the pre-eminent political and economic power and also had considerable social, cultural and intellectual influence in Brazil.

Perimetral, 1, Bairro Guamá, 66075-750 Belém, PA, Brasil Manuscript received on June 20, 2014; accepted for publication on January 26, 2015 ABSTRACT Amazon river turtles are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and alteration due to the Brazilian energy policy based on construction of hydroelectric dams, meanwhile, populational studies remain scarce. We described the population structure, and established body allometric relationships of Podocnemis unifilis in the Terra do Meio Ecological Station in the Iriri River, tributary of the Xingu River upstream the Belo Monte dam under construction. Turtles were captured by hand net and diving in 2012 and 2013 dry seasons, and 2013 rainy season. A total of 728 males, 296 females and four juveniles were captured. Adult sex ratio was male-biased by 9.15♂:1♀. Females were significantly larger than males.

  • Biotelemetry Reveals Migratory Behaviour of Large Catfish in The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biotelemetry reveals migratory behaviour of large catfsh in the Xingu River, Eastern Amazon Received: 19 October 2018 Lisiane Hahn1, Eduardo G. Martins2, Leonardo D. Nunes1, Luís Fernando da Câmara1, Accepted: 24 May 2019 Leonardo S. Machado1 & Domingos Garrone-Neto3 Published: xx xx xxxx We used a combination of radio and acoustic telemetry to assess the movements of large catfsh (Pimelodidae) in the Xingu River, a clearwater tributary of the Amazon River in Brazil. A total of 121 Phractocephalus hemioliopterus and 61 Pseudoplatystoma punctifer were tagged for monitoring within a 685 km segment, including the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Complex (BMHC), between February 2013 and July 2015. Long distance upstream movements were detected for P. hemioliopterus (up to 347 km) and for P. punctifer (up to 164 km) mainly during the transition between dry season and the rising water period. Both species moved through a long segment of rapids previously thought to function as barriers to migration. Several individuals exhibited long-distance bidirectional movements. Some tagged fsh never left the release zone, indicating mortality, tag loss or resident individuals, which would characterize partial migration. The fndings show evidence of migratory behaviour for large catfsh within the Xingu River, emphasizing the infuence of the hydrologic cycle on their movements. As part of the study area has become partially dewatered due to the BMHC, fndings support the need of adequate management strategies to allow the movements of large catfsh between spawning and feeding sites in the Xingu River. Te ecology, migration and conservation of large catfsh (Pimelodidae) in the Amazon basin has been the subject of studies for decades, highlighting the economic importance and the use of long migratory corridors1,2.

  • 0165 Fish Biogeography & Phylogeography, Symphony III
    0165 Fish Biogeography & Phylogeography, Symphony III, Saturday 9 July 2011 Amanda Ackiss1, Shinta Pardede2, Eric Crandall3, Paul Barber4, Kent Carpenter1 1Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA, 2Wildlife Conservation Society, Jakarta, Java, Indonesia, 3Fisheries Ecology Division; Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Santa Cruz, CA, USA, 4University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA Corroborated Phylogeographic Breaks Across the Coral Triangle: Population Structure in the Redbelly Fusilier, Caesio cuning The redbelly yellowtail fusilier, Caesio cuning, has a tropical Indo-West Pacific range that straddles the Coral Triangle, a region of dynamic geological history and the highest marine biodiversity on the planet. Caesio cuning is a reef-associated artisanal fishery, making it an ideal species for assessing regional patterns of gene flow for evidence of speciation mechanisms as well as for regional management purposes. We evaluated the genetic population structure of Caesio cuning using a 382bp segment of the mitochondrial control region amplified from over 620 fish sampled from 33 localities across the Philippines and Indonesia. Phylogeographic analysis showed that sites in Western Sumatra formed a single population, resulting in pronounced regional structure between Western Sumatra and the rest of the Coral Triangle (ΦCT=0.4596, p<0.0031). The species' range and measures of genetic diversity at these Indian Ocean localities point toward low effective population size west of Sumatra and indicate that historic changes in sea level and ocean currents during periods of Pleistocene glaciation may have led to divergence between Caesio cuning populations west and east of the Sunda shelf. East of Sumatra, there were significant genetic differences between the central sites sampled from the Philippines south to Java and Nusa Tenggara and the sites west of Halmahera to the edge of our sampling range at Cenderawasih Bay indicating haplotype frequency differences likely driven by regional ocean currents and isolation by distance.
