Se presenta una síntesis de información etnobiológica obtenida entre grupos indígenas de México, analizando tendencias y patrones en las formas de conocer, utilizar y manipular los recursos biológicos. Los sistemas indígenas de nomenclatura y clasificación de plantas son altamente elaborados y complejos. Aunque en general éstos parecen seguir los principios generales de clasificación folk descubiertos por Brent Berlin y otros autores, se observan algunas categorías taxonómicas y sistemas de nomenclatura estrechamente asociados a las formas de uso de los recursos locales. La subsistencia de las poblaciones indígenas ha estado basada en una estrategia que combina diferentes prácticas productivas y que aprovecha una gran diversidad de productos disponibles tanto espacial como temporalmente. Esta estrategia involucra también el aprovechamiento integral de un amplio espectro de especies de plantas y variabilidad genética intraespecífica bajo diferentes niveles de domesticación.ABSTRACTAn overview of ethnobiological information obtained among Indian peoples of Mexico is presented, analyzing patterns and tendencies in the forms of perceiving, using, and manipulating plant resources. The plant classification folk systems studied are highly complex. Although in general they follow the general principles formulated by Brent Berlin and other scholars, some significant variations are observed. Subsistence has been based on a strategy which combines different productive activities and takes advantage of a wide variety of plant products available both in time and space. This subsistence strategy also involves managing a wide variety of resources under different degrees of domestication by humans
