Studies suggesting that medicinal plants are not chosen at random becoming more common. The goal of this work is to shed light on the role botanical families in ethnobotany, depicting a molecular phylogenetic frame relationships between and uses vascular several Catalan-speaking territories. simple quantitative analyses for ailments categories construction disorders matrix were carried out study. A Bayesian approach was used estimate over- underused flora. Phylogenetically informed identify...
Abstract The Mediterranean Basin is a global biodiversity hotspot, but formal conservation approaches have not been wholly effective to halt species and ecosystem losses in this world region. There wide agreement that maintaining traditional diverse land-use systems key conserving across the Biocultural provide perspective understand manage interplay of nature culture various contexts. To develop biocultural as positive alternatives unsustainable requires an understanding decision-making...
Local agrobiodiversity in remote areas such as the Moroccan High Atlas is poorly studied, despite being of great importance for sustainability and resilience mountainous populations. This includes important species wheat (Triticum spp.), barley (Hordeum vulgare), fava beans (Vicia faba), peas (Pisum sativum), alfalfa (Medicago sativa). study aimed to better understand varietal naming by farmers traits they use assessing current diversity five species, 22 locations, distributed across three...
Wild food plants (WFP) have always been consumed by humans, first as the main basis of their and, since origins agriculture, ingredients normal diets or an alternative during situations scarcity. In contemporary industrialized societies use is for most part being abandoned, but they may still play important role. With purpose advancing in ethnobotanical knowledge one region Catalan Pyrenees, present study reports findings a research project conducted Ripollès district (Catalonia, Iberian...
Abstract Background Indigenous populations are undergoing rapid ethnobiological, nutritional and socioeconomic transitions while being increasingly integrated into modernizing societies. To better understand the dynamics of these transitions, this article aims to characterize cultural domain food plants analyze its relation with current day diets, local perceptions changes given amongst Ngäbe people Southern Conte-Burica, Costa Rica, as production by residents is hypothesized be drastically...
Differences in gendered knowledge about plants are contingent on specific cultural domains. Yet the boundaries between these domains, for example food and medicine, sometimes blurred, it is unclear if how gender plays a role creating continuum them. Here, we present an in-depth evaluation of links gender, medicinal plant knowledge, culinary culture Marrakech, Morocco. We interviewed 30 women 27 men with different socio-demographic characteristics evaluated cooking frequency shape their...
As in several other scientific endeavors, ethnobiology has greatly diversifi ed around the turn of millennium. Despite eff orts being made during recent years, discipline still gives impression needs to establish its identity among better defi ned fi elds study. Trying contribute ll this gap, review succinctly discusses multidisciplinary foundations and paradigmatic, theoretical conceptual diversification decades. This field study is characterized along these lines as “the investigation...
Abstract Background Ethnobotanical studies in metropolitan areas and urban ethnic markets have grown considerably recent years as large cities demonstrated to be significantly rich biocultural diversity driving its evolution, human populations migrate from one region another. Urban spaces also represent important places of multicultural multilingual interaction exchange, where ethnobotany can act a bridge between research action. The purpose this study is present case on how use settings by...
The ongoing academization of gastronomic studies indicates the necessity for a commonly accepted classification system cooks that does not contradict scientific approaches. This work discusses fundamentals used by chefs and scientists to classify unelaborated food products; proposes taxonomic gastronomy as new interdisciplinary framework taxonomy surrounding gastronomy; presents categorization products follows culinary criteria yet avoids contradiction knowledge. As little literature focuses...
