Biodiversity , conservation , oceanic islands, island biogeography, scientific synthesis, species extinctionResumo
Trindade is an oceanic island of volcanic origin in the South Atlantic. Although highly disturbed, the island hosts a rich biological diversity, serving as a habitat for many endemic species. Scientific research in Trindade has generated a vast amount of literature in the last 300 years. Nonetheless, an objective scientific synthesis summarizing the main research findings in the last century is still lacking, which prevents us to understand the knowledge gaps and to propose a way forward to better understand biodiversity and promote its conservation. Thus, this paper aims to present a synthesis of the research performed on Trindade Island, with emphasis on Biological Sciences studies. Therefore, an online search with specific strings on CrossRef, Google Scholar, and National Center for Biotechnology Information was performed, as well as a search on global extinction risk on the red list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Our search recovered 312 references, mainly from Biological, Health, and Agrarian Sciences research areas. More than 1000 species have occurrences reported on the island, most of them from oceanic environments. A total of 32 species occurring in Trindade are considered under threat of extinction. Animals and plants are the most studied organisms while the diversity of microorganisms is the main knowledge gap in the recognition of the island’s biota. Data about the biological diversity of the island, conservation, and publication trends are shown and discussed. A list of all the reported species in the retrieved literature and their conservation status is also presented.
