“…Many ethnobiological studies have taken water as a starting point to explore the complex inter-connections between people and their biological worlds (e.g., Reyes-García et al 2011; Singh 2006). Ethnobiologists have long examined the historical interactions between people and waterscapes (Prestes-Carneiro et al 2021) and how water defines our food systems (Young et al 2021). Not surprisingly, the study of Indigenous and local knowledge around water is gaining prominence in the discipline (e.g., Goodall 2008; McLean 2017).…”

“…Environmental changes are driven by the interaction between multiple biophysical, ecological, and socioeconomic factors operating at different scales. When over-lapping spatially and temporally, these interactions may have antagonistic-but most often synergistic-effects, with significant impacts on ecological processes and human health and wellbeing (Díaz et Journal of Ethnobiology 2021 41(3): 331-348 historical interactions between people and waterscapes (Prestes-Carneiro et al 2021) and how water defines our food systems (Young et al 2021).

A special word to José Espinosa who tracked down and carefully transcribed a great source in Seville. A word, too, to several research assistants who have worked with our team, over time, helping to select, transcribe, and translate sources.A final word to the closest of the closest, my loving family, who endure long absences and profound silences with a smile, who listen repeatedly to my ramblings about whales and dolphins, manatees and mermaids, sharks and sea monsters, and who help me believe in all the possibilities of this fluid world we live in.

Utilising multiple lines of evidence for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction improves our understanding of the past landscapes in which human populations interacted with other species. Illuminating such processes is key for a nuanced understanding of fundamental transitions in human history, such as the shift from hunting and gathering to farming, and allows us to move beyond simple deterministic interpretations of climate-driven innovation. Avifaunal remains provide detailed indications of complex multi-species interactions at the local scale. They allow us to infer relationships between human and non-human animals, but also to reconstruct their niche, because many bird species are sensitive to specific ecological conditions and will often relocate and change their breeding patterns. In this paper, we illustrate how novel evidence that waterfowl reproduced at Levantine wetlands, which we obtained through biomolecular archaeology, together with modern ornithological data reveals conditions of wetlands that are conducive for breeding waterfowl. By understanding the interplay between wetland productivity cycles and waterfowl ecology, we argue that human modifications to the environment could have promoted wetland productivity inviting waterfowl to remain year-round. Within this landscape of “mutual ecologies”, the feedback resulting from the agency of all species is involved in the construction of the human niche.
