Abstract: Mortality due to wild animals being run over on roads represents one of the major
factors in the loss of biodiversity in the world. In this sense, the group of reptiles are
greatly affected due to their slow mobility and thermoregulation, especially snakes.
Furthermore, snakes can be direct targets of intentional run-overs, which can negatively
impact natural populations. In view of this, the present study aims to: 1- analyze the
intentionality of snakes being run over on the Agrovila and EMADE roads, located in the
municipality of Tefé, Amazonas. 2- Check the differences in collisions between snake
models and control objects and 3- Categorize the vehicles involved in collisions. To this
end, two snake models (coral and green pattern) and a control object (pet bottle) were
used, which were sampled in three sections of the Agrovila road and two sections of the
EMADE road, with one hour of observation for each. aforementioned item. The sampling
effort was 30 hours (10 hours per item). Only in the urban-rural direction were recorded
the number and category of vehicles that traveled during the observations. An
intentional collision was considered to be the act of the driver deviating from his route
to reach the models and control object. To check whether the items were run over by
chance or deliberately, the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney non-parametric test was
applied. 108 intentional run-overs were recorded for the green snake model, 64 for the
coral snake model and 43 for the control object. Statistically, there were no differences
in the frequencies of being run over between the snake models, nor between them and
the control object, which indicates that there was an intentional run over for the snake
models. Motorcycles and cars were the vehicles with the highest traffic flow, as well as
those most involved in pedestrian accidents. Therefore, through these results, the
present study confirms the intentional running over of snakes on the aforementioned
roads. Therefore, there is a need to raise awareness, through environmental education,
of drivers and community residents in communities close to the roads, in order to
mitigate intentional accidents involving snakes.2024-02-22T00:00:00ZLevantamento Etnobotânico de plantas medicinais na comunidade rural São Francisco, Tefé-Amazonas.

Abstract: The quantity and variety of plant species spread across the world is immeasurable,
sparking the interest of scholars and researchers in their investigation. The use of plants
as a therapeutic alternative for those with difficult access to the healthcare system is
quite common. Information on the use and handling of medicinal plants is knowledge
that has been transferred through several generations, making it necessary to investigate
the relationship between man and the plant. For this reason, the present work aims to
verify and analyze the knowledge about medicinal plants according to their traditional
use, of family groups in the São Francisco Community, located in the municipality of
Tefé, Amazonas. Information was collected through an interview using a structured
form, containing questions relating to medicinal plants. A total of 87 interviews were
obtained with permanent residents of the community. The data collected resulted in
90% using medicinal plants, of which 38 species were mentioned, distributed in 28
families, highlighting Lamiaceae, followed by Zingiberaceae, Meliaceae and
Piperaceae. The most mentioned plants were Plectranthus barbatus (boldo), Zingiber
officinale (Mangarataia) and Carapa guianensis (Andiroba). Regarding therapeutic
indications, the most cited were: stomach pain (15.7%), flu (9.9%), colic (8.5%),
inflammation (8.1%) and infections (8.1%). Therefore, the study of traditional
knowledge has a great contribution to knowledge regarding the correct use of plants,
avoiding poisoning or adverse reactions, in addition, it helps in the discovery of new
drugs and raises awareness of the preservation of several species of native plants.2024-02-23T00:00:00ZLevantamento de aves atropeladas nas estradas Emade e Agrovila no Município de Tefé (AM) em comparação a outros estudos de ecologia das estradas no Brasil

Abstract: Roads have been identified as one of the main anthropogenic causes, negatively affecting biodiversity and biotic integrity. Vehicle collisions have been one of the most evident environmental impacts generated by roads on wildlife, causing damage to a wide diversity of vertebrate species in different biomes. In fact, highways can affect the surrounding area and alter patterns of bird diversity and abundance, resulting from differences in tolerance in response to the disturbance caused to each species. In this way, the impacts caused by highways are specific to different species of birds, showing the importance of investigating their occurrences to determine measures to mitigate these impacts. The birds that were listed in his work do not have identical distributions, including species that are endemic to the state of Amazonas, leading us to believe that the occurrence of these species is not restricted to the state. In a way, of the 1971 species of birds that occur in Brazil in Tefé, in Amazonas, there are 342 species of birds. In tropical regions, interest in the subject has been recent, resulting in a lack of understanding of the patterns and effects of vertebrate collisions. Since to preserve it it is necessary to have knowledge about the distribution of biodiversity, as it allows us to recognize areas with vulnerable organisms and thus direct mitigating measures. The extension of the Amazon road network density is still small and with low vehicle circulation compared to other regions of the country. This may be associated with the smaller number of published studies on road-killed fauna, but it is worth noting that the roads present are generally associated with extensive green areas, one of the factors that make these highways different from others, especially in the context of landscape. wide distribution and that feeds mainly on seeds of grasses such as brachiaria, and also captures insects, foods that are present around roads, factors that influence it being run over on other roads in Brazil. In particular, the state of Pará, which presented three studies with the highest numbers of bird species run over, similar to the bird species on the Agrovila and Emade roads.2024-02-22T00:00:00ZHerpetofauna atropelada em duas estradas do Município de Tefé, Amazonas, Brasil

Abstract: Brazil is widely recognized as one of the world's richest countries in herpetofauna
diversity, harboring an impressive variety of amphibians and reptiles across its diverse
biomes. However, this biological wealth is increasingly threatened due to a series of
factors, including deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and, particularly, the impact of
roads. Wildlife roadkill, especially of herpetofauna, emerges as one of the main causes
of biodiversity loss along Brazilian highways. In light of this, the present study aims to
identify and determine the roadkill rates of herpetofauna species on the roads of
Agrovila (AGRO) and EMADE (EMA). Monitoring was conducted weekly in AGRO (N=287)
and EMA (N=63), totaling 350 field outings, carried out by 2 or more researchers on
bicycles, from August 2017 to August 2023. The recorded animals were identified at the
lowest taxonomic level possible. To analyze species richness, rarefaction curves were
generated using the CHAO estimator. In AGRO, 1,081 reptiles (647 systematic and 434
occasional) were found, belonging to 18 families and 63 species, with the most affected
being Atractus collaris (N=140), Amphisbaena fuliginosa (N=111), Dipsas catesbyi
(N=98), Ameiva ameiva (N=97), Erythrolamprus reginae (N=58), and Oxyrhopus
melanogenys (N=47). In AGRO, 3,412 amphibians (2,890 systematic and 522 occasional)
belonging to 10 families and 37 species were found, with the most affected being
Rhinella marina (N=783), Rhinella major (N=695), Scinax gr. ruber (N=613),
Leptodactylus macrosternum (N=279), Osteocephalus taurinus (N=180), and
Trachycephalus typhonius (N=129). Overall, the roadkill rates (RR) for amphibians were
0.66 individuals per kilometer per day (ind./km/day), and for reptiles, RR was 0.15
ind./km/day. To reduce the impact of roadkill, it is essential to implement preventive
and corrective measures, such as installing physical barriers and underpasses. Reducing
speed on roads and conducting educational campaigns are also essential to raise
awareness among drivers.2024-02-23T00:00:00Z
