Tracing the History of the Taruma People through Plants, Their Names, and Uses
This article explores what plants, their names and uses can tell us about the history of the speakers of Taruma, a language isolate of Guyana.

Our outcomes show the potential of combining botany an…
Ethnobotanical research under the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: In response to the limitations on fieldwork imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we describe and assess a remote method for documenting plant-related knowledge, using smartphones that requires no in-person interaction between an on-site Indigenous community and off-site researchers. Methods: The on-site team identified the Indigenous taxa, created equivalents of photo vouchers, and recorded their names and uses as voice messages using a …

The fiel…

This pandemic has disrupted livelihoods and tested the current mechanisms and …
