Manipulation of wild animals, fruit trees, Atlantic ForestAbstract
Phenologies of ten fruit plant species, native or naturalized, was completed in four areas of “cabruca” (agroflorestal system that includes native high trees that shadow and trees producing of cocoa that need shade when they are young) and four areas of forest in farms located in the south of Bahia State. Registration of fruit consumption by caititu was made through land traps. The land traps with fruits like Polyandrococos caudensis, Lecythis pisonis,
Pouteria procera, Cecropia holeleuca, Artocarpus heterophyllus, Sloanea obtusifolia e Cnidosculus pubensces were the ones registering caititu traces. The species Artocarpus heterophyllus was considered the principal resource for ‘caitutu’
in this region, while Cecropia holeleuca was considered a limiting resource. The plantation of new fruit trees, A. heterophyllus and C. holeleuca, was prepared in order to make available the extensive or semi-intensive manipulation of the species, increasing the capacity of production in these areas, which could make possible the economic use of ‘caititus’ in the southern region of Bahia State and slow down the damage caused by wild animals in the same region.
