The benefits of bioprospecting have emerg...
متن کاملEvidence of the shifting baseline syndrome in ethnobotanical research
BACKGROUND The shifting baseline syndrome is a concept from ecology that can be analyzed in the context of ethnobotanical research. Evidence of shifting baseline syndrome can be found in studies dealing with intracultural variation of knowledge, when knowledge from different generations is compared and combined with information about changes in the environment and/or natural resources. METHOD...
