Resumo: | The brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is a seabird with wide geographic distribution along the coast of the American continent. The species lives most of its life at sea, returning to the mainland only to nest. This paper reports the occurrence of brown pelicans in the Anavilhanas National Park, Brazilian Amazon, and describes how artisanal fishermen living in the surroundings of this Conservation Unit have been interacting with this unexpected visitor. Through field sightings and interviews with local residents, up to six brown pelicans were recorded which, according to local residents, appeared for the first time in the second half of 2019. The interactions between fishermen and birds involve especially the offer of fish, but conflicts were also recorded, such as when pelicans are attracted by the smell of fish and head towards fishing vessels, causing fishermen to chase the birds away, and the report of the slaughter of one of the birds for consumption. This is the most interior record of the species in a continental Amazonian environment and the first to describe a cluster of brown pelicans interacting with inhabitants of the region. The results presented demonstrate that we know little about the factors that influence the migration and dispersion of brown pelicans, contribute to a better understanding of cultural attitudes related to human-fauna interactions, and support the conservation management of these rare birds in interior Amazonian areas. |

La espécie vive la mayor parte de su vida en el mar y regresa al continente solo para anidar. Este artículo describe la ocurrencia de pelícanos pardos en el Parque Nacional Anavilhanas, Amazonía brasileña, y describe cómo los pescadores artesanales que viven en los alrededores de esta Unidad de Conservación han estado interactuando con este visitante inesperado. Através de avistamientos de campo y entrevistas con moradores locales, se registraron hasta seis pelícanos pardos que aparecieron por primera vez en el segundo semestre de 2019. Las interacciones entre pescadores y aves involucran especialmente la oferta de pescado, pero conflitos también se registraron, como cuando los pelícanos son atraídos por el olor del pescado y se dirigen hacia los barcos de pesca, lo que provoca que los pescadores ahuyenten a las aves, y el informe de la matanza de una de las aves para su consumo. Este es el registro más interior de la especie en un ambiente amazónico continental y el primero en describir un grupo de pelícanos pardos que interactúan con los habitantes de la región. Los resultados presentados demuestran que sabemos poco sobre los factores que influyen en la migración y dispersión de los pelícanos pardos, contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de las actitudes culturales relacionadas con las interacciones humano-fauna y apoyan el manejo de la conservación de estas raras aves en las áreas del interior amazónico.O pelicano-pardo (Pelecanus occidentalis) é uma ave marinha com ampla distribuição geográfica pela região costeira do continente americano. A espécie vive a maior parte da sua vida no mar, retornando ao continente apenas para nidificar. O presente trabalho relata a ocorrência de pelicanos-pardos no Parque Nacional de Anavilhanas, Amazônia brasileira, e descreve como pescadores artesanais que residem no entorno desta Unidade de Conservação vêm interagindo com este visitante inesperado. Por meio de avistamentos em campo e entrevistas com moradores locais, foram registrados até seis pelicanos-pardos que, segundo moradores locais, apareceram pela primeira vez no segundo semestre de 2019. As interações entre os pescadores e as aves envolvem especialmente a oferta de peixes, mas também foram registrados conflitos, como quando os pelicanos são atraídos pelo cheiro do peixe e vão em direção às embarcações de pesca, fazendo com que os pescadores tenham que afugentar as aves, e o relato de abate de uma das aves para consumo. Este é o registro mais interior da espécie em ambiente continental amazônico e o primeiro a descrever um agrupamento de pelicanos-pardos em interação com moradores da região. Os resultados apresentados demonstram que pouco sabemos sobre os fatores que influenciam a migração e dispersão dos pelicanos-pardos, contribuem para um melhor entendimento de atitudes culturais relacionadas às interações humano-fauna, e subsidiam o manejo conservacionista destas aves pouco comuns em áreas interiores amazônicas.Research, Society and Development2022-03-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2681410.33448/rsd-v11i3.26814Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 3; e49711326814Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 3; e49711326814Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 3; e497113268142525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/26814/23475Copyright (c) 2022 Marcelo Derzi Vidal; Fábio Pereira da Conceiçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVidal, Marcelo Derzi Conceição, Fábio Pereira da 2022-03-09T13:44:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26814Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:44:45.612333Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
