Abstract
The destruction of Brazilian ecosystems is among the most alarming national and international conservation issues. It is opportune to optimize management strategies in these areas. To protect the genetic resources in the long term, it is necessary to consider the characterization (or the study) of genetic diversity of its populations. This approach has been applied to different species, population sizes, distinct biomes and wide range of ecological and molecular questions. The objective of this study was to identify trends and patterns of scientific publications in conservation genetics in Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest, historically the most devasted Brazilian biome. Through a scientometrics approach, using the Scopus database, papers published between 1990 and 2020 were selected. Total 80 papers were found corresponded to the research topics. The University of São Paulo and the State University of Santa Cruz are the most representing institutions and the sponsors of projects. The high number of microsatellite markers or the combination of other markers revealed that genomics is not implemented yet as a current framework. The molecular tools have been used to attend 109 species, with 56 related to flora and 24 to fauna. It is pointed out that the low number of published papers in Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest biome is reflection of some factors, from insufficient funding to difficulties in carrying out studies with international partnerships. In addition, in the 1990s, most scientific publications in Brazil were in the native language, so the indexing bases did not count these papers. This work is the first overview of the published literature and allowed to diagnose the studies carried out in the conservation area of the Atlantic Forest biome with molecular markers.
