Artigo Advancing ethnobiology for the ecological transition and a more inclusive and just world: a comprehensive framework for the next 20 years(Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2024) Jacob, Michelle Cristine Medeiros; Albuquerque, Ulysses Paulino; Maroyi, Alfred; Ladio, Ana Haydeé; Pieroni, Andrea; Abbasi, Arshad Mehmood; Toledo, Bárbara Arias; Dahdouh-Guebas, Farid; Hallwass, Gustavo; Soldati, Gustavo Taboada; Odonne, Guillaume; Vandebroek, Ina; Vallès, Joan; Hurrell, Julio Alberto; Santayana, Manuel Pardo de; Cuadros, María de los Ángeles La Torre; Silva, María Teresa Pulido; Kruel, Viviane Stern da Fonseca; Ferreira Júnior, Washington Soares; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4881-7285This opinion piece, written by ethnobiologists from different parts of the world, emphasizes the importance of ethnobiology research in advancing contemporary biology, natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and, especially, contributing to the ecological transition and more just and inclusive world. To achieve these goals, it is essential to develop research and collaborate with social groups that live in close relationship with nature in research activities, such as Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC), as well as Afro-descendants and other Marginalized, Minority or Minoritized Communities (AMMC). Ethnobiology can identify and provide locally appropriate solutions to local problems, enabling sustainable resource management at the landscape level. The text explores important aspects that need to be considered to guide the future of ethnobiology in the next 20 years, aiming to integrate and amplify previous discussions held in the discipline and identify points that demand ongoing attention. This paper highlights reflections from diverse researchers, emphasizing how ethnobiology can embrace different perspectives and employ rigorous analysis of complex phenomena toward effective policies and practices. This approach holds the potential to address the challenges the planet is currently facing in the coming decades.Artigo Animal-based food systems are unsafe: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) fosters the debate on meat consumption(2020-07-07) Jacob, Michelle Cristine Medeiros; Feitosa, Ivanilda Soares; Albuquerque, Ulysses Paulino; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4881-7285; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8907-744X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8131-8429Objective: The current pandemic restarts a debate on permanently banning wildlife consumption in an effort to prevent further public health threats. In this commen tary, we offer two ideas to enhance the discussion on foodborne zoonotic diseases in food systems. Design: First, we focus on the probable consequences that the loss of access to wildlife could cause to the status of food and nutrition security of many people in developing countries that rely on bushmeat to subsist. Second, we argue that all animal-based food systems, especially the ones based on intensive husbandry, present food safety threats. Conclusion: To ban the access to bushmeat without a rational analysis of all human meat production and consumption in the global animal-based food system will not help us to prevent future outbreaksArtigo Culture matters: a systematic review of antioxidant potential of tree legumes in the semiarid region of Brazil and local processing techniques as a driver of bioaccessibility(Plos One, 2022) Jacob, Michelle Cristine Medeiros; Maia, Juliana Kelly da Silva; Albuquerque, Ulysses Paulino; Pereira, Fillipe de Oliveira; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4881-7285Ethnobotanical studies report that human populations from the Brazilian Caatinga biome use tree legumes (Fabaceae) with medicinal and food purposes. Our study provides a systematic review of the available published information concerning the antioxidant potential of Hymenaea courbaril L. (jatobá), Libidibia ferrea (Mart. Ex Tul.) L.P.Queiroz (jucá), and Dioclea grandiflora Mart. Ex Benth. (mucunã). Furthermore, in this paper, we infer the possible effects of local processing techniques applied to these plants on their antioxidant potential. In order to achieve these goals, we reviewed 52 articles, including studies from ethnobiology (n = 17), chemistry (n = 32), and food studies testing antioxidant activity (n = 17), excluding 14 repetitions. We found that these legume species can inhibit the formation of free radicals and this potential action varies among different parts of the plant. Probably, the presence of phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, which are not uniformly distributed in the plants, explain their antioxidant activity. Local processing techniques (i.e., roasting, milling) affect the bioaccessibility of antioxidant components of tree legumes, inducing both positive and negative effects. However, studies about the antioxidant potential did not consider local processing techniques in their analyses. Our study highlights that culture is a fundamental driver of nutritional and pharmacological outcomes related to edible resources since it determines which parts of the plant people consume and how they prepare them. Hence, ignoring cultural variables in the analysis of antioxidant activity will produce inaccurate or wrong scientific conclusions.Artigo Culture matters: a systematic review of antioxidant potential of tree legumes in the semiarid region of Brazil and local processing techniques as a driver of bioaccessibility(PloS One, 2022-03) Maia, Juliana Kelly da Silva; Jacob, Michelle Cristine Medeiros; Albuquerque, Ulysses Paulino; Pereira, Fillipe de OliveiraEthnobotanical studies report that human populations from the Brazilian Caatinga biome use tree legumes (Fabaceae) with medicinal and food purposes.
