TL;DR: There is growing research interest in the ethnobiology, socio-economics and management of mangrove forests as discussed by the authors, with harvesting efforts and impacts concentrated in stands that are closer to settlements and easiest to access (by land or by sea).
Journal ArticleDOI
History and Concepts of Big Plant Genera
TL;DR: It is argued that comparisons of size, phenomena, and processes will only be possible by comprehensive study of the lineages comprising these genera and their immediate historical relatives; uncritical lists or relatively limited samples are not enough.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inductive judgments about natural categories
TL;DR: The authors examined the effects of semantic structure on simple inductive judgments about category members and found that if subjects learn that an unknown property is possessed by a typical species (i.e., one that shares many of its properties with other category members), they are more likely to generalize than if the same fact had been learned about an atypical species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Marine Conservation
TL;DR: Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) represents multiple bodies of knowledge accumulated through many generations of close interactions between people and the natural world as mentioned in this paper and its application via customary ecological management plans can be useful in modern conservation programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Utilitarian Factor in Folk Biological Classification
TL;DR: It is argued that ethnoscientists interested in folk biological classification have paid insufficient attention to the practical significance of such systems of cultural knowledge in their pursuit of general logical and/or perceptual principles governing the form and content of folk biological taxonomies.
