Edible Mushrooms of Peri-Urban Kichwa Communities in the Andes-Amazon Piedmont, Ecuador
Ecuador is a multicultural and megadiverse country where nearly 50 species of wild edible macrofungi (WEM), used by 12 indigenous peoples, have been reported. The Kichwa use 29 species of mushrooms, but aspects of their ecology are unknown. The aim of this study was to study the richness, use, substrates and fruiting seasons of WEM consumed by two peri-urban Kichwa communities settled in the piedmont between the Andes and the Amazon. Between May …
Evidence for Landscape Transformation of Ridgetop Forests in Amazonian Ecuador
The Napo River basin, which is situated within the Upper Amazon archaeological region, is one of the most speciose forests in Greater Amazonia. Standard thinking in scholarship and science holds that these forests are essentially pristine because any Indigenous impacts in the past would have been minimal, seedbanks would have been nearby, and natural forests would have reappeared after the humans left, died out, or dispersed. Inventory research i…
Intersecting perspectives on Mexican maize landscapes
In this issue, we present a wide range of texts about the diversity of maize in Mexico in relation to peasant agricultural practices. The scientific debates on this theme form part of a line of reflection about the conservation of biodiversity that the Revue d'ethnocologie has been featuring and fostering for some time. The authors of the present issue share the same research object, maize, which they examine on various scales and from a wide var…
Regards croisés sur les paysages du maïs au Mexique
Dans ce numro, nous prsentons un riche ventail de textes sur la diversit du mas au Mexique en relation avec les pratiques de l'agriculture paysanne. Les dbats scientifiques sur ce thme s'inscrivent dans une rflexion sur la conservation de la biodiversit que la Revue d'ethnocologie accueille et nourrit depuis longtemps. Les auteurs du prsent dossier partagent donc un mme objet de recherche, le mas, qu'ils interrogent des chelles diffrentes et avec…
Cultivando las plantas y la sociedad waorani
Las prácticas agrícolas dan información que revelan la relación entre un grupo humano y el bosque. Este estudio describe y analiza el itinerario agrícola considerando que las acciones materializan las principales características socioculturales de los waorani de la Amazonia ecuatoriana: libertad de acción y autonomía personal. La observación participante y la identificación de las plantas cultivadas en dos aldeas waorani durante quince meses de i…
