Patrones en el conocimiento, uso y manejo de plantas en pueblos indígenas de México

Abstract: 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 estrec… Show more

“…Rural peoples throughout the world practice different management strategies, varying in complexity, to modify the abundance and quality of useful plant species, either in areas where they naturally occur, or in anthropogenic environments outside their original habitat (Alcorn 1981;Rindos 1984;Colunga et al 1986;Caballero 1987;Anderson and Posey 1989;Balée 1989;Casas et al 1996Casas et al , 1999bCasas et al , 2001Casas et al , 2007Harris 1996;Bye 1998;Caballero et al 2000). Previous studies in Santa María Tecomavaca, a village in the Tehuacán Valley, Mexico (González-Insuasti and Caballero 2007) classified the villagers' management practices according to their degree of complexity as: (1) simple gathering of plant resources with no particular selection; (2) non-selective incipient management entailing tolerance, protection, or promotion of a useful species without artificial selection of specific plants); (3) selective incipient management tolerating, protecting or promoting of individual plants with phenotypes considered desirable; (4) occasional cultivation of seeds or propagules of wild plants in cultivated land; and (5) agriculture-the cultivation of domesticated plants in specifically selected areas.…”

“…Indigenous peoples in Mexico make use of nearly 5,000 to 7,000 plant species (Casas et al 1994;Caballero et al 1998) as part of a strategy called by Toledo et al (2003) "multiple uses of natural resources." Plants represent direct inputs to satisfy different household needs for food, medicine, materials for construction, fuel, or fodder (Alcorn 1984;Zizumbo-Villarreal and Colunga-Garciamarin 1993;Casas et al 1994;Casas et al 2001;Toledo et al 2003), and some plant species may also contribute to monetary incomes through commercialization of plant products (Reyes-García et al 2004;Smith 2005;Farfán et al 2007;Pérez-Negrón and Casas 2007).…”

“…Otros escritos están hechos por botánicos que recogen los nombres vernáculos tradicionales con el fin de contribuir a la comprensión de los pisos altoandinos, integrando plantas, ser humano y medio ambiente (Pestalozzi y Torres 1998). Diferente es la situación de México, donde existe una tradición de trabajos en etnobotánica que tienen un estatus similar a los estudios desarrollados por nosotros (Caballero et al 2001).…”
