RESEARCH AND THEORY IN HUMAN ECOLOGY Conservation Science Policies Versus Scientific Practice: Evidence from a Mexican Biosphere Reserve Gabriela Alonso-Yañez1 Werklund School of Education University of Calgary, Canada Conny Davidsen Geography Department University of Calgary, Canada Abstract This paper interrogates the activities, perspectives, and positions of scientists conducting research in Sierra de Huautla Biosphere Reserve, Mexico. Biosphere reserve conservation models are specifically designed for a sustainable integration of social and natural environments, a mandate that relies on both natural and social scientific research to improve conservation of nature and human well-being. Seen through the analytical lens of a social worlds/arenas framework, integrative scientific research in this particular case proves to be challenging in practice and fraught with paradoxes and contradictions. The findings suggest that academic and institutional factors (funding, publication avenues, and scholarly status) force, or at least strongly invite, scientists to pursue academic research agendas which, in fact, may conflict with or override the researchers’

  • The Gastroprotective Effects of Eugenia Dysenterica (Myrtaceae) Leaf Extract: the Possible Role of Condensed Tannins

Received June 26, 2013; accepted February 6, 2014 We applied a taxonomic approach to select the Eugenia dysenterica (Myrtaceae) leaf extract, known in Brazil as “cagaita,” and evaluated its gastroprotective effect. The ability of the extract or carbenoxolone to protect the gastric mucosa from ethanol/HCl-induced lesions was evaluated in mice. The contributions of nitric oxide (NO), endogenous sulfhydryl (SH) groups and alterations in HCl production to the extract’s gastroprotective effect were investigated. We also determined the antioxidant activity of the extract and the possible contribution of tannins to the cytoprotective effect. The extract and carbenoxolone protected the gastric mucosa from ethanol/HCl-induced ulcers, and the former also decreased HCl production. The blockage of SH groups but not the inhibition of NO synthesis abolished the gastroprotective action of the extract. Tannins are present in the extract, which was analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption/ioniza- tion (MALDI); the tannins identified by fragmentation pattern (MS/MS) were condensed type-B, coupled up to eleven flavan-3-ol units and were predominantly procyanidin and prodelphinidin units.

Considering this, the present study has addressed the use of native arboreal species as sources of food for rural populations in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The aim was to reveal species composition of edible plants, as well as to evaluate the practices used to manage and conserve them. Ethnobotanical indices show the importance of many native trees as local sources of fruits while highlighting the preponderance of the Myrtaceae family.

The PA (polyacrylate) and DVB/CAR/PDMS (divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane) fibers were optimized for the extraction parameters (agitation, extraction time and temperature), in order to select the fiber with the highest number of isolated compounds. A total of 48 volatile compounds were identified using HS-SPME/GC-MS present in the ripe fruits of rumberry. The volatile compounds were classified into five chemical classes, the majority belonging to the sesquiterpenes class (71%). In addition, it was possible to verify that the fiber coated with polyacrylate (PA) had better performance, allowing for the extraction of a greater number of volatile compounds (n = 35). The extraction conditions that allowed the isolation of a greater number of volatile compounds corresponded to times greater than 26 minutes and temperatures above 85 °C, with agitation of 79 rpm for the PA fiber. Likewise, it was found that the hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes was the chemical class most present in the fruits, which is mainly related to the volatile profile of rumberry fruits. Key words: Rumberry, Myrtaceae, Solid-phase microextraction.

[email protected] Keywords: Myrtaceae, essential oil, Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden. The family Myrtaceae, with 120 genera and more than 3800 species, is very representative and important in all the Brazilian ecosystems. This study presents the first part of the overall analysis of the Myrtaceae species growing in the Research Institute Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro (IPJB/RJ) campus. Between July 2010 and June 2011, twenty-one species, native and exotics, were collected and their leaf essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation from fresh material, using a Clevenger apparatus during 4h. The species were comprised in the genera Campomanesia (3), Eugenia (10), Gomidesia (1), Melaleuca (2), Myrcia (1), Myrciaria (1), Plinia (1), Tristania (1) and Ugni (1). The oils were analyzed by GC/MS in an Agilent 6890N equipped with a MSD Productivity ChemStation software, with HP-5MS fused silica capillary columns (30 m X 0.25 mm X 0.25 µm). Helium was used as carrier gas with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/minute. Oven temperature was 70 (held for 5min) to 250°C at 3°C/min.

  • Original Research Article Characterization and Correlation Analysis of Physical and Physico-Chemical Properties of Cambucá Frui
    Original Research Article Characterization and Correlation Analysis of Physical and Physico-Chemical Properties of Cambucá Fruits (Plinia edulis) . ABSTRACT Aims: This study was to characterize and correlate physical and physico-chemical properties of cambucá fruits (Plinia edulis). Study design: Experimental design was completely randomized with fifteen samples of five fruits each. Place and Duration of Study: Experimental orchard of the Department of Plant Science, Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), located in the municipality of Viçosa, Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais during the month of February 2015. Methodology: Fruits were sampled when 100% of peels presented yellow-orange color. The following characteristics were evaluated: longitudinal and transverse diameter, total mass of both pulp and seed, pulp color, soluble solids, titratable acidity, soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio, ascorbic acid and carotenoids contents. To verify the degree of correlation between two physico-chemical variables, a Pearson analysis was performed. Results: Cambucá fruits showed average values of longitudinal and transverse diameter of 37.76 and 44.36 mm, respectively. Fruits’ average mass were 44,12 g and the percentage of pulp was 82,15 %. Both soluble solids and titratable acidity presented the respective average values: 10.53 ºBrix, 1.34 mg of citric acid and 100 mL-1 of pulp. Larger cambucá fruits presented higher pulp yield and lower acidity. The increase in ascorbic acid was positively correlated with the contents of soluble solids and carotenoids. Conclusion: Fruits of cambucá have potential for commercialization, their characteristics are similar to those found in other fruit species native to the Myrtaceae family and already found in the fruit market.
