Upholding Ethical Accountability in Ethnobotany and Ethnobiology Research
Firewood, Landscape, and Culture
This ethnobotanical study, conducted in rural settler and Guarani populations sharing similar environments within the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve's area of influence in Misiones, Argentina, analyzes and compares local firewood utilization practices and the landscape associated with these practices. We surveyed the general characteristics of the managed landscapes, categorized the observed environments according to management intensity, identified fi…
Tourist Knowledge of and Beliefs about Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) at Iguazú National Park, Argentina
Diversity of plant species used as firewood in indigenous colonized communities
Species selection criteria for firewood. Preferred species and classification categories in two local communities in eastern Misiones, Argentina
Background: Human populations develop locally-based knowledge about the species used as firewood through the use of natural resources, and by experimenting with cultural guidelines and transmitting their experiencies. In the selection and use of firewood this knowledge is mainly based on the igneous properties of each species. This study was carried out in rural settlements and indigenous populations of the province of Misiones, Argentina. We sur…
The Community Landscape and Culturally Important Fauna Among the Mbya Guaraní of Misiones, Argentina
This study analyses the perceived interactions between wildlife and the local landscape in Mbya Guaraní communities in the province of Misiones, Argentina. The objectives of this work are to identify the fauna of cultural importance from the perspective of the Mbya Guaraní communities, characterize the landscape units associated with the animals and the emerging trophic relationships in these representations, and determine the different uses assi…
Desafíos Y Oportunidades De La Enseñanza De La Biología en Contextos Interculturales
El artículo aborda el tema de la interculturalidad en la educación - específicamente en el contexto de la Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (EIB)- en escuelas secundarias con matrícula indígena mbya guaraní de la provincia de Misiones, Argentina. El objetivo del estudio es identificar los desafíos y oportunidades que ofrece la EIB, en general, y la enseñanza de la Biología en particular. Se analizan y comparan las concepciones y perspectivas de lo…
Host Plants Association with Longhorn Beetles of Food Value
The study of plant-insect interactions and how cultural groups perceive and manage them constitutes one of the interests of ethnoentomology. This work describes the association between host plants and longhorn beetles (Order: Coleoptera; Family: Cerambycidae), an important food among the Guaraní peoples of the province of Misiones, Argentina. Different management methods of host tree species are analyzed in order to promote the rearing of larvae …
Landscape management among the Guarani of the Atlantic Forest of Misiones, Argentina
The study of the management practices that different Guarani settlements have carried out in the environment over time constitutes one of the objectives of ethnoecology and historical ecology as the way through which these communities obtain forest resources affects landscape settings. In this work, based on a local classification system of the ontogenic stages of the pindo palm tree Syagrus romanzoffiana (Cham.) Glassman (Arecaceae), we study th…
Sensory attributes of native stingless bee honey (Plebeia molesta)
The sensory quality of a food is related to the consumer's ethno-social and idiosyncratic conditions. In this study, honeys from three different environments in the Chaco region of Córdoba (Argentina) were described qualitatively and quantitatively by specialized evaluators and rural peasant. Honeys with a wide diversity of sensory attributes were evidenced. The samples from Salinas Coast were characterized by high fluidity, those from Serrano Fo…
Adaptive farm management in the context of the expansion of industrial tree plantations in northern Argentina
The honey of Plebeia molesta and other melliferous insects in the peasant culture of the Northwest of Córdoba, Argentina
Bees called meliponas (family Apidae, tribe Meliponini) are native stingless bees (ANSA) whose products (honey and other elements from the hive) have been employed by various indigenous and peasant cultures since ancient times. This study lists the native honeybee species known to criollos from northwest Córdoba. It also analyzes in particular the relationship between peasants living in three different environments in the region and the uses they…
Social perception of tree plantations in the Atlantic forest of Argentina
Land use changes associated with the advance of forest plantations on lands previously used for agriculture generate diverse perceptions of the socio-environmental impact they entail. Despite, these perceptions are influenced by the landscape context produced by the land use changes. In last decades there has been a transformation in land use associated with the development of forestry activity in the northwest of the province of Misiones, Argent…
Melliferous insects and the uses assigned to their products in the northern Yungas of Salta, Argentina
BACKGROUND: The order Hymenoptera comprises melliferous insects (bees, wasps and bumblebees); among them, stingless bees comprise a diverse group of eusocial insects present in tropical and subtropical areas. Of a total of approximately 500 species, 400 are found in the Neotropics. On the continent of America, before the introduction of Apis mellifera, these insects represented the main source of honey and wax. In Argentina, ethnobiological inves…
Management of pindo palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana Arecaceae) in rearing of Coleoptera edible larvae by the Guarani of Northeastern Argentina
Rearing of coleopteran larvae on palm tree stems as a food source is extended among Amerindian groups is as a food source as coleopteran larvae are reared on their stems.Guarani groups settled in the province of Misiones, in northeastern Argentina, consume three species of Dryophthoridae larvae (Metamasius hemipterus, Rhynchophorus palmarum and Rhinostomus barbirostris) which are rear in the stipes of Syagrus romanzoffiana palm.This work deals wi…
Multi-dimensionality and variability in folk classification of stingless bees (Apidae)
We support the multidimensionality of folk classification systems. This confirms the specificity of local classification systems but also reflects the use of grouping strategies and mechanisms commonly observed in other cultural groups, such as the use of similarity judgments between more or less prototypical organisms. Also we support the idea that alternative naming results from a process of fragmentation of knowledge or incomplete transmission…
Descriptive attributes used in the characterization of stingless bees (Apidae)
Background: Human beings employ a combination of morphological, sensorial, utilitarian, cultural and ecological characters when they identify and classify organisms. Ethnotaxonomy has provided a store of information about the characters cultures employ when they identify and classify a vast diversity of taxonomic groups. Nevertheless, some more research is needed to provide a comparison of the characters employed in the description of taxons, and…
Dyeing Plants and Knowledge Transfer in the Yungas Communities of Northwest Argentina
Reproductive medicine in northwest Argentina
BACKGROUND: The state of conservation of the traditional cultures of Northwest Argentina is variable and somewhat problematic but to a lesser or a greater extent all the peoples are related to an hegemonic culture. We present a case study carried out in the rural communities of the Yungas biome (Salta) where the extent of isolation varies as does the type of access to public health services. The use of medicinal plants in the area is ordinary and…
