The journal publishes critical reviews, original research papers, short communications, notes and comments covering all aspects of ethnobiology. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology readership is as wide and diverse as ethnobiology itself, with readers spanning from both the natural and social sciences. Not surprisingly, a glance at the papers published in the Journal reveals the depth and breadth of topics, extending from studies in archaeology and the origins of agriculture, to folk classification systems, to food composition, plants, birds, mammals, fungi and everything in between. Research areas published in Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology include but are not limited to neo- and paleo-ethnobiology, zooarchaeology, ethnobotany, ethnozoology, ethnopharmacology, ethnoecology, linguistic ethnobiology, human paleoecology, and many other related fields of study within anthropology and biology, such as taxonomy, conservation biology, ethnography, political ecology, and cognitive and cultural anthropology. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology does not limit itself to a single perspective, approach or discipline, but seeks to represent the full spectrum and wide diversity of the field of ethnobiology, including cognitive, symbolic, linguistic, ecological, and economic aspects of human interactions with our living world. Articles that significantly advance ethnobiological theory and/or methodology are particularly welcome, as well as studies bridging across disciplines and knowledge systems. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology does not publish uncontextualized data such as species lists; appropriate submissions must elaborate on the ethnobiological context of findings.

Abstract

The blowpipe dart poison in Borneo is generally generated from the latex of rhe large .Antians toxicana tree, Moraceae. This latex contains a variety of toxic chemical compounds. The principal toxic agent rs a steroid glycoside known as ~-Antiacin. A lethal dose (LSO) is only about 0.1 mg per kg weight of a warm-blooded animal. To dehydrate the milky latex into a paste, a long carefully implemented procedure is essential because that steroid glycoside compound is extremely heat-sensitive. Therefore, the blowpipe hunters perform the dehydration of the latex with the assistance of a young leaf from the small Liataia spinosa palm. The leaf is formed into boat-shape to hold the latex at a carefully determined distance over a small flame for about one week. This is feasible because the young Licuala leaf is astonishingly fireproof and durable. This is the secret of generating the lethal poison. If the latex were heated at coo high temperature, the glycoside compound would crack and the toxicity would be lost.

Abstract

This research is based upon an interdiciplinary field study encompassing anthropology, biology, and oceanography, conducted within a period of May 1999 to May 2001 at Paojepe coast, Wajo regency in South Sulawesi. The study has three main objectives : firstly, to identify social, cultural, ecological/biological and econo-demographic problems that concerned mangrove-forest conversion phenomenon into brackish water milkfish pond areas, as one of the main economic activities of the local people. Secondly, to identify achievements as well as failures in the efforts to rehabilitate mangrove forest by using of analyzing social, ecological and demographic symptoms and conditions at the coast of Paojepe. Thirdly, to identify the potentials of social institutions the people of Paojepe maintain, which was believed to be able to contribute as the means and medium in the efforts to apply the most suitable intervention strategies in coastal management, particularly intervention strategies in rehabilitation of the mangrove forests. The study on biological aspect has identified the biological diversity of Paojepe coast and also identified on the on-going ecosystem changes as consequences of mangrove depletion, coastal abrasion, and coral reef mining. The results of the oceanographic observation on Paojepe coast showed that, the sea currents That parallel the shore can move at speed of 62.64 cm/second and many transport suspended sediment and/or other materials from the coats heading offshore at a depth of 19 to 20 m, approximately 1333.4 m from the shore. The effect of rising and falling tide on coastal abrasion is followed by the presence of huge waves, especially at high tide. Coral reef has still been mined by the community. At a contour depth of about 4 meters, the reef could actually be a natural protector from the sea wave attacks on the eastern coast of Paojepe. The coral reef mining has resulted in their disappearance, sea waves hit the shore directly and frontally. The result of social study have tapped in aspirations of most of the local people, who have begun to be aware of the danger of abrasion on their locations, These people have begun to realize that abrasion can in fact pose serious threats to their economy, as more and more ponds located on the beach have been eroded. This means potential reduction on their milkfish and shrimp commodities. As have been empirically observed, owners of such ponds have strong. motivation in mangrove re-plantation. They have even more considered to plantation of Rhitopbora spp. on their ponds. The multidiciplinary approaches in the conservation and management will be discussed later in this paper.

Abstract

Study on potential development of fishpond (aquaculture fisheries) based on the condition of water quality in Paojepe coast, Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi was carried out in 1999 and 2000. This study aims in developing fishpond production in that area and improving the awareness of the farmers to avoid environmental destruction caused by quite high abration. The results show that the current fisheries system is a traditional system with very low productivity. The introduction of technology of water and sediment management can be done in order to increase fishpond productivity. Referring to some parameters of the water such as its physics, chemistry and biology, the area has a good potential to develop fishpon on "bandeng", whereas, to develop fishpond on shrimp, the area is not beneficial. Based on the water quality, semi-intensive aquaculture type suits the area.

Abstract

Jabon Mekar village is well-known as the central of fruit producing. Many kinds of fruit are planted and developed in this area. It is estimated as a buffer zone of Jakarta and subject of the urban development. The aim of the research is to study the community structure and vegetation profile of home-garden system in the village of jabon Mekar. The research was located at Jabon Mekar village, subdistrict of Parung, Bogor regency. The methods used for vegetation analysis were the quadrate method to find density, frequency, dominance, and important index value of plant species. The result of the research found 311 species of plants from 245 genus, 86 families and 36 cultivars. The plants were grouped into 6 categories i.e. the group of miscellaneous plants, ornamental plants, fruit plants, vegetable plants, tradionally medicinal plants, and food plants. The highest value of density of plant species for all group plants based on function found at the home-garden 400 m2 width types and then followed by home-garden of 1200 m2, 800 m2, and 2000 m2 width types. The all group of plants based on function in every types of widen home-garden have a tendency not to spread. The highest relative frequency was the group of fruit plants followed by the group of ornamental, miscellaneous, traditionally medicinal, vegetable and food plants. While the highest value of relative dominance is the group of miscellaneous plants, and then followed by ornamental plants, fruit plants, vegetable plants, tradionally medicinal plants, and food plants. The diversity of plant species at home-garden was at the high level. At the all of the widen homegarden type, the research noted that there were 57 species of fruit plants and dominated by Musa spp. It is also noted that 105 species of ornamental plants dominated by Acalypha sinensis, and in the 48 species of traditionally medicinal plants is dominated by _Ageratum houstonianum. While in the 15 species of vegetable plants is dominated by Gnaw& gaemon. And in the 7 rpecies of food plants is dominated Manihot eseulenta. Finally, in the 79 species of misceliadeous gro,ip of plants is dominated by Polytrias amaura.

Abstract

Human collect great variety of food resources from wild animal, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and also invertebrates. Wildlife resources are utilized in various ways among tribes that are reflects economic, sociocultural and ecological differences. Certain animal species are extremely popular to particular tribes therefore they are commonly hunted for certain reason such as food for protein source. The present paper reviewed and discussed food security based on wildlife utilization in Papua.

Abstract

This paper describes procession of a traditional wild honeybee harvesting practice evolve in the community of Pelepat, Jambi, Indonesia. For the local people, honey harvesting is not just extracting honey from the honey bee's nests; it has a strong tie with the people's socio-cultural setting. The ancestors of pdepat had developed and handed down the traditional wild honey harvesting practice over generations. People collect honey in such a way that respecting the honeybees in the same time strive to conserve the associated ecosystem and the local culture as well. Wild honey harvesting ritual articulates a harmonic relationship between people and the nature.

Abstract

The book edited by Prof. M.G. Paoletti comprised of 29 articles on minilivestock. It is indeed a quite interesting book opening our mind that different people are exploiting different resources beyond our imaginations The articles describe from all sort of consumed small invertebrates such as termite, honey pot ant, various forms of larvae such as of caddis fly, larvae of Dobson fly, instars caterpillar larvae, and also other insects such as locust, giant water bugs, crickets, 'gastropods, etc., include a number of small vertebrates such as frogs, birds, turtles, reptiles, rats, porcupines and others . This book is also well illustrated with interesting pictures of the subjects. The book begins with an introductory article by M.G. Paoletti and A.L Dreon. It describes a large number of minilivestock which becomes the potential protein resource in some areas. They are largely consumed by people around the world and considered as alternative food resources. Although the kind of minilivestock described in this book is only a part of so many other consumable creature found in this planet, in fact it offers description on the varieties of different small animals either invertebrates or vertebrates which are quite familiar to different ethnic groups dispersed in this world. It is reasonable therefore that both expressed their concern on the possible extinction of species and the loss of traditional knowledge which are most of them not well recorded yet. In one hand there are so many tribal societies which are fast adopting new way of life and becoming alienated to their inherited customs and practices. They do not consume any more what they have traditionally consumes. In the other hand the massive mobilization of capital has destroyed the natural environment leading to the lost of the habitat of so many organisms formerly available as protein resources for the indigenous or tribal people. This book is probably one of the rarest of the kind. The Paoletti and Dreon have rightly summarized their concerns on the inadequate understanding of local knowledge, on the possible extinction of species, and the arguments of why minilivestock is important. The practice of consuming small creature probably has already taken place since the beginning of human long history. A long list of animals can probably still be deduced not only what the authors of the book have presented, but we also could enrich (our knowledge) from the fact that some of the Chinese restaurants still serve various plates of different animals as delicacy: meat of reptiles, monkeys, various sea creatures and even
