چکیده
Ethnobiology, like many fields, was shaped by early Western imperial efforts to colonize people and lands around the world extract natural resources. Those legacies practices persist today continue influence institutions ethnobiologists are a part of, how they carry out research, their personal beliefs actions. Various authors have previously outlined five overlapping “phases” of ethnobiology. Here, we argue that ethnobiology should move toward sixth phase in which scholars practitioners must actively challenge colonialism, racism, oppressive structures embedded within institutions, projects, themselves. As an international group from allied identified key topics priorities at three levels: institutional scale, for repatriation/rematriation biocultural heritage, accessibility published work, realignment support community-driven research. At level emphasize need mutual dialogue, reciprocity, community research self-sufficiency, questions sovereignty Indigenous Peoples Local Communities over waters. Finally, individual scholars, self-reflection on language use, co-authorship, implicit bias. We advocate concrete actions each these levels field further social justice, antiracism, decolonization.

This project will study the concept of chaos from a mathematical viewpoint. Qualities which characterise chaos (e.g., sensitive dependence on initial conditions, presence of periodic orbits of all periods, uncountably many aperiodic orbits, and dense orbits) will be studied.
