Perception des végétaux chez les Ribeirinhos d’Amazonie brésilienne by Claire Couly

“…It successively deals with the identification and naming of plants, the local categories of plants and the correspondence between local nomenclature (parataxonomy) and scientific nomenclature. We focused on spontaneous and cultivated plants, regardless of the criterion of utility for the local population, except however for the analysis of the overlay between taxonomy and parataxonomy which focused on forest plant species because they have been identified by various local informants during ethnobotanical inventories in forest plots.We developed an approach in ethnobiology and quantitative ethnobotany to analyze local ecological knowledge and put it in parallel with scientific knowledge. …”
