Plants, people and their shared heritage: A comparative medicinal and wild food ethnobotany of Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians living in the Gjirokaster area, southern Albania
Societal Impact Statement Traditional knowledge about wild plants connects people to nature and sustains both cultural identity and biodiversity. This study explores how cultural exchange among Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians in southern Albania shapes the use and naming of medicinal and food plants. By revealing how linguistic and social interactions influence local ecological knowledge, the research highlights the adaptability of human–plant r…
Engaging Indigenous Peoples and local communities in global policy development for the conservation and sustainable use of wild food plants
Wild Food Plants (WFPs) are edible species that grow without cultivation in forests, grasslands, field margins, and other natural and semi-natural spaces. They play a central role in the traditional food systems of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) and have significant nutritional and nutraceutical value. Despite the importance of Indigenous knowledge and local practices in the stewardship of WFPs, IP&LCs have largely been under-r…
Wild food knowledge beyond documentation: What comes next
When minority language persistence is not enough: The decline of foraging knowledge in German- and Ladin-speaking Alpine communities of Northern Italy
Local ecological knowledge is an essential element of the Alpine biocultural diversity and is often linked to minority languages. However, its continuity does not necessarily correspond to the persistence of these languages. This study investigates how knowledge of wild plants (and mushrooms) is transmitted and transformed among three minority-language communities in the Italian Alps: Cimbrian, Mòcheno, and Ladin speakers. Ethnobotanical data wer…
Searching for a ghost?! The vain ethnobotany of foraging in three coastal Mediterranean areas
This paper explores the erosion of foraging-related ethnobotanical knowledge in three coastal Mediterranean areas: Gozo Island (Malta), Kasos Island (Greece), and the Castagniccia region of Corsica Island (France). Based on recent ethnobotanical fieldwork between the summer of 2023 and the spring of 2025 in the three study areas, we document the few remaining wild vegetable uses in each region and contextualise the absence of robust LEK linked to…
Recife Charter – Pathways for the future of ethnobiology
At the 5th International School of Ethnobiology in Recife (4–5 November 2025), researchers from Brazil and around the world gathered in a spirit of collaboration and shared purpose to envision the future of ethnobiology. This document presents the central agreements and commitments from this transformative meeting, affirming the imperative for an ethnobiology that is theoretically robust, socially relevant, and ethically responsible. The Recife C…
Sustainability of Audit Profession in Digital Technology Era: The Role of Competencies and Digital Technology Capabilities to Detect Fraud Risk
Fraud constitutes a significant and pervasive risk within the broader landscape of cybercrime, driven by the rapid evolution of digital technologies. The work of an external auditor in evaluating fraud risks is frequently being judged. This is especially true when many legal actions are taken against auditors who fail to discover financial account manipulations, misstatements, misconducts, and standard non-conformance. Failure to discover these i…
A Hidden Bio-Cultural Erosion? Mountain Marginalization and the Resilience of Traditional Environmental Knowledge Among Pomaks in the Greek-Bulgarian Rhodopes
Botanical Ethnoknowledge Index: A New Quantitative Assessment Method for Cross-Cultural Analysis
The scientific accuracy of ethnobotanical study has significantly grown in the past decades due to the adoption of quantitative methods, mainly represented by indices. These quantitative approaches can provide data amenable to hypothesis testing, statistical validation, and comparative analysis. Plenty of indices are applied nowadays in ethnobotany. However, none of the previously developed indices have argued for comparing general ethnobotanical…

Not "just necessity"? Two-x-eco-cultural dilemmas and the ethnobiological importance of the informal grannies' markets in Moldova
Informal food markets, particularly those managed by (elderly) women in post-communist Eastern Europe, represent a biocultural phenomenon of profound significance since globalisation and increasingly strict legal frameworks often threaten these reservoirs of biocultural food heritage. In the fall of 2022 and 2023, a preliminary field study was conducted by visiting the informal markets of six Moldovan centres: Chișinău, Orhei, Bălți, Călărași, Co…
The ecology of plant ingredients, food heritage, and adaptation among Syrian, Afghan, and Egyptian Coptic diasporas in Northwestern Italy
This research underscores the dynamic relationship between migration and food, highlighting how culinary practices serve as a site of both cultural preservation and adaptation in diaspora contexts
Multicentre case–control study of pneumococcal infections among children with pneumonia in Peninsular Malaysia (MY-Pneumo): A study protocol
This project was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04923035) on 2021, June 11. The study protocol was approved by the International Medical University Joint-Committee on Research & Ethics (4.15/JCM-216/2021) and the Institutional Review Board at sentinel sites (USM/JEPeM/21020190, IREC 2021-114, MREC ID No: 2021128-9769) and University of Southampton's Ethics and Research Governance (ERGo II 64844)
The nexus between ecology of foraging and food security: Cross-cultural perceptions of wild food plants in Kashmir Himalaya
The older age group has more knowledge about WFPs compared to the younger generation, who are not interested in learning about the utilization of WFPs. This lack of interest in information about WFPs among the younger generation can be attributed to their limited access to markets and availability of food plants in the study area. Traditional gathering of food plants has been reduced in younger generations during recent years; therefore, it is cr…

Socioeconomic Dimensions of Wild Food Plant Use During the Conflict in Syria
Ethnobotanical inventory of medicinal plants used by Cashinahua (Huni Kuin) herbalists in Purus Province, Peruvian Amazon
This study aims to document the diversity of medicinal plants used by the Cashinahua people (also known as Huni Kuin) of the Curanja River, as well as describe and compare their uses with pharmacological and phytochemical records from previously published studies. The ethnic has been studied to a limited extent from an ethnobotanical perspective. The study area is located in the Ucayali region, eastern Central Amazon, where ancestral knowledge is…
