“…Entre los recursos naturales más importantes que han sido utilizados por las comunidades indígenas y campesinas, para complementar sus necesidades alimentarias, se encuentran los bosques, cuya riqueza de recursos no maderables y maderables, generan una diversidad de conocimientos tradicionales para su aprovechamiento (Posey, 2004;da Silva et al, 2016). Los bosques también son espacios para la producción agropecuaria, de ellos las comunidades rurales e indígenas de México obtienen alimentos, fibras, forraje, entre otros, pero además de su función productiva, son, espacios hospederos de fauna e insectos comestibles, que los cuales suelen cazarse y recolectarse (Santos, 2016); particularmente, los artrópodos son unos de los recursos comestibles no maderables más importantes.…”

Los artrópodos comestibles son un componente importante en la dieta en las unidades domésticas desde la época prehispánica, proveen proteínas y son de fácil obtención debido a que son recolectados en el medio que rodea a las poblaciones. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar la diversidad y formas de consumo de los artrópodos comestibles en la comunidad otomí de San Pedro Arriba, Estado de México. La investigación estuvo constituida por la elección de los informantes, la realización de entrevistas, y la recolecta de los artrópodos. Los resultados muestran 11 etnoespecies de artrópodos comestibles, en dos clases, Insecta con seis órdenes y Malacostraca con uno. La clase Insecta tuvo 10 familias con el mismo número de especies. Los lepidópteros fueron los más abundantes con cuatro especies, seguidos de los coleópteros, con tres. La antropoentomofagia es una práctica milenaria, que se ha preservado en la comunidad otomí. Es una alternativa y un complemento alimenticio para la seguridad alimentaria, el cual puede localizarse en su entorno, como son la milpa, el bosque y los cuerpos de agua. Este conocimiento debe ser documentado antes de que los procesos de globalización conduzcan a su extinción y las especies que los sustentan y por tanto afecte la disponibilidad de alimentos para la población local.

“…These categorization processes have been described as culturally in uenced and organized in different taxonomic structures [2,3], and one of the most striking observations in ethnobiology is the common occurrence of agreement both within and across cultures in the categorization of plants and animals [4][5][6]. Nevertheless, ethnobiologists have also documented many differences in intra and intercultural categorization, and other factors such as age, social role, and religion may in uence categorizations of nature [7][8][9].…”

Background - Traditional fishing communities are strongholds of ethnobiological knowledge but establishing to what degree they harbor cultural consensus about different aspects of this knowledge has been a challenge in many ethnobiological studies. Methods - We conducted an ethnobiological study in an artisanal fishing community in northeast Brazil, where we interviewed 91 community members of different genders and dedicated to distinct activities, in order to obtain free lists and salience indices of the fish they know. To establish whether there is cultural consensus in their traditional knowledge on fish, we engaged a smaller subset of 45 participants in triad tasks where they chose the most different fish out of 30 triads. We used the similarity matrices generated from the task results to detect if there is cultural consensus in the way fish were classified by them. We also modelled the effect of gender, age and type of activity on the agreement rate of participants with modal responses in the triad tasks (i.e., that pair of fish in which most participants considered the most similar within each triad).Results - The findings show how large is the community’s knowledge of fish, with 197 ethnospecies registered, of which 33 species were detected as salient or important to the community. In general, men cited more fish than women. We also found that there was no cultural consensus in the ways fish were classified, but younger participants tended to use similar criteria for classifying fish. Conclusions - Both free-listing and triad task methods revealed little cultural consensus in the way knowledge is structured and how fish were classified by community members. Our results suggest that it is prudent not to make assumptions that a given traditional community has a single cultural consensus model in classifying the organisms in their environment.

Methods We conducted an ethnobiological study in an artisanal fishing community in northeast Brazil, where we interviewed 91 community members (49 men and 42 women) with different type of activities (fishers and non-fishers), in order to obtain free lists and salience indices of the fish they know.
