“…In some cases, the age influence on education level, and younger have the most education level (Barbosa et al 2022). Usually hunters have less education level (Ramos et al 2020;Marques et al 2022), and the same result was found in our work. The relationship between the low level of education of hunters in the PESC region and hunting seems to be a common pattern observed in several other studies (Ribeiro and Schiavetti 2009;Castilho et al 2018).…”

“…Dantas-Aguiar et al ( 2011) found more hunter with 30 to 40 year old and 52 to 62 year old in the community of Campos Formoso, Bahia. In the Catimbau National Park, Pernambuco, was found the same result, with hunters older, into 41 and 62 years old (Marques et al 2022). A study carried out in four protected areas of Paraíba, the hunters were between 26 and 45 years old (Barbosa et al 2022).…”

“…In the locations studied, only one woman identified herself as a hunter, demonstrating that this activity is predominantly performed by men. In other regions of Brazil occur the prevalence of men hunting too, like in Catimbau National Park, in Pernambuco state (Marques et al 2022), National Forest Restinga of Cabedelo, Benjamim Maranhão Botanical Garden, Engenho Gargaú Private Natural Heritage Reserve, Guaribas Biological Reserve (Barbosa et al 2022) and in the north region of Brazil (Ramos et al 2020).…”

The current investigation aimed to identify the wild animals utilized as a food source in five locations within the Serra do Conduru State Park region, Bahia, Brazil. The field survey was conducted from June 2016 to July 2017, involving semi-structured interviews and informal conversations with 45 hunters. The composition of species used for sustenance in the five locations was characterized through permutation multivariate analyses of variance. Generalized linear models were constructed to evaluate whether socio-demographic variables among hunters influenced the number of captured species. A total of 67 species (34 families and 22 orders) of hunting significance were documented in the region, with 41 being hunted for consumption. The most represented taxa were mammals (32), birds (21), reptiles (13), and amphibians (1). Dicotyles tajacu, Dasypus novemcinctus, and Cuniculus paca emerged as the most targeted species for food. Hunters who still reside within the conservation unit capture a greater number of wild animals. Older hunters and those with smaller family sizes hunt a broader range of species. The rifle and domestic dogs are the predominant techniques employed in the region. The findings underscore the persistence of illegal hunting practices in the Serra do Conduru State Park region. This emphasizes the necessity for measures directed at the conservation of hunted species, particularly those identified as being under some degree of threat in nature.

“…In the last section, we asked the respondents about the occurrence of bird hunting and consumption of bird eggs and meat. However, hunting is not legally allowed in the Indawgyi region, and participants could be reluctant to disclose information (Marques et al, 2022; Podsakoff et al, 2003). In this regard, specialized questioning techniques have been used to acquire robust information on sensitive topics (Davis et al, 2019; Nuno & John, 2015).…”

Hunting and illegal bird killing are major concerns for avian conservation globally. Unsustainable bird hunting in wetland habitats, particularly those located along important flyways, has contributed to avifauna defaunation and species endangerment. Since wetlands are primary habitats for migratory birds and are associated with anthropogenic landscapes, a comprehensive understanding of bird harvesting, and its drivers is fundamental to reduce threats to current avifauna. In this study, we examined the distribution of illegal bird hunting and its socioecological drivers in the Indawgyi wetland ecosystem in Myanmar by integrating data from bird surveys, household surveys, and market surveys. We found that illegal bird hunting using nets, traps, and poisonous substances is prevalent in areas close to water and during the migration season. People who had negative attitudes toward avian species were more likely to engage in bird hunting, primarily because of the conflicts between bird conservation and crop production. Socioeconomic needs were not the major driving factors of bird killing. We therefore suggest sustainable management interventions promoting coexistence by integrating bird conservation and agricultural production, accompanied by increasing awareness to improve avian conservation in an internationally important wetland in Myanmar.

Este livro foi pensado para ser um primeiro texto didático e introdutório às bases ecológicas e evolutivas do comportamento humano, voltado para o ensino ao nível de graduação. Porém, este livro também pode ser útil para aqueles entrando na pós-graduação, especialmente vindos de áreas sem muita tradição de ensino e pesquisa ecológica e evolutiva. Embora cada capítulo possa ser lido em qualquer ordem, organizamos o livro de modo que a sequência sugerida, que vai do geral ao mais específico, permita ao aprofundamento gradual dos diferentes conceitos e disciplinas dedicadas aos estudos ecológicos e evolutivos do comportamento e da mente humana.
