Dissertation Research: Ethnoecology of Sabal uresana (Arecaceae) in Sonora, Mexico

9311035在过去十年中，平卡瓦人的生物和文化多样性已成为普遍认可的术语。鉴于人们越来越担心两者的丧失，再加上许多物种和传统文化缺乏基本知识，将两者联系起来的方法可能会为生态和文化过程提供宝贵的洞察。传统的资源管理是指未受过西方科学知识培训的土著和当地(农村)人使用和管理自然资源，以供生存和商业之用。如果证明有效，传统资源管理与现代生态方法相结合，可能为未来管理因文化和经济变化而变得稀缺的野生植物资源提供最佳途径。民族生态学是一个相对较新的研究领域，有可能成为研究基本生态过程和为保护目的更快速地评估这些过程的有力工具。由于许多涉及的物种在科学上知之甚少，必须开发出能够快速评估基本生态信息(分布、种群特征、生长等)的方法。以及对人类操纵的反应。为了取得成功，必须使用生态学和人类学的基本和应用、描述性和实验性的技术。正是这两个领域方法论的综合才是新奇的。这项研究评估了墨西哥索诺拉一种地方性棕榈树的传统资源管理。在世界范围内，棕榈树是人类最重要的植物家族之一，特别是在热带地区。Sabal uresana是墨西哥西北部原产的六种棕榈树中最有价值和分布最广的一种，是一种重要的非木材资源(用于编织和盖茅草的树叶)，被认为是过度开发的，在墨西哥被列为“稀有”。基本结果将包括：描述一种特有的沙漠棕榈树的种群动态，幼年棕榈树对收获新叶的反应，以及对一种重要的野生采集植物物种的使用和管理的民族志研究。最重要的是，这项研究将产生一个民族生态学综合体，将立即应用于野生植物的保护和农村发展，并将解决关于传统资源管理发展的基本问题。*n o p q r S t u v w x y z{|}~9311035平卡瓦生物和文化多样性在过去十年中已成为普遍接受的术语。考虑到GOF Z Z(泰晤士报新罗马符号&amp；论坛摘要：伊丽莎白·M·贝伦斯·伊丽莎白·M·贝伦斯

9311035 Pinkava Biological and cultural diversity have become commonly recognized terms over the past decade. Given the growing concern about loss of both, and coupled with the lack of basic knowledge for many species and traditional cultures, approaches which link the two may provide valuable insight into ecological and cultural processes. Traditional resource management is the use and management of natural resources for subsistence and commercial use by indigenous and local (rural) people not trained in Western scientific knowledge. If proven effective, traditional resource management, combined with modern ecological methods, may offer the best approach to the future management of wild plant resources made scarce by changing cultures and economics. Ethnoecology is a relatively new field of study which is a potentially powerful tool for studying basic ecological processes and for more rapidly assessing them for conservation purposes. Because many of the species involved are poorly known scientifically, methods must be developed which can be used to quickly assess basic ecological information (distribution, population traits, growths, etc.) and response to human manipulation. To be successful, ecological and anthropological techniques, both basic and applied, descriptive and experimental, must be employed. It is the synthesis of methodologies from the two fields that is novel. This study assesses traditional resource management of an endemic palm in Sonora, Mexico. Worldwide, palms are one of the most important plant families for humans, especially in the tropics. Sabal uresana is the most valuable a nd widespread of six palms native in northwest Mexico, an important non-timber resource (leaves used for weaving and thatching), is thought to be over-exploited, and has been listed as "rare" in Mexico. %%% Basic results will include: a description of the population dynamics of an endemic desert palm, the response of juvenile palms to the harvest of emerging leaves, and an ethnographic study of the use and management of an important wild-collected plant species. Most importantly, this study will produce an ethnoecological synthesis that will have immediate application to the conservation of wild-collected plants and for rural development, and will address basic questions about the development of traditional resource management. *** n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~ 9311035 Pinkava Biological and cultural diversity have become commonly recognized terms over the past decade.
