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 study was conducted in the home garden of Tanen hamlet in Ngargoyoso, Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia, which is situated at an elevation of 772 meters above sea level. The existence of Sukuh Temple near Tanen with Keris reliefs shows Keris culture in this region since ancient times. This study aims to identify plant species in the Tanen home garden suitable for Keris culture and understand their potential roles in Keris culture. Sampling was carried out using the cruising method, following the village road. Data on the plants on-site were collected through surveys conducted in the home garden. The plant species were classified with the assistance of The Mountain Flora of Java and www.theplantlist.com. The plants found were determined to be related to the Keris culture. The data were qualitatively analyzed to determine the role of each plant species in Keris culture and quantitatively assessed using the species richness index. The home garden in Tanen comprises a variety of species, with a species richness of 26 belonging to 19 families. Herbs make up 38% of the plant habitus in Tanen's home garden, which also has shrubs (31%), trees (23%), and bushes (8%). The most commonly used plant organs are leaves (24%) and flowers (24%). The potency of plants in the Tanen home garden for Keris culture is: for the name of the plant called in the blade of the Keris; for warangka (sheath) and deder (hilt); for equipment in Keris making; for cleansing agents; for fragrances (fragrant agents); and offering (food ingredients, spices). The primary potential use of plants in Tanen's home garden is for offering.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the ethnobotany of bamboo plants by the community around Mount Galunggung, Tasikmalaya Regency, as a source of biology learning. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling with the population of Mandalagiri Village, precisely in the Paniis and Sukatani Villages. The data collection method was by interviews with primary and secondary data sources. Data analysis was carried out using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and conclusions, and a qualitative SUV (Species Use Velues) analysis was carried out to determine the use value of bamboo species. The results of the research show that the community around Mount Galunggung utilizes six species of bamboo, namely Chinese bamboo (Bambusa multiplex), yellow bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris), apus bamboo (Gigantochloa apus), black bamboo (Gigantochloa atroviolaceae), ater bamboo (Gigantochloa atter), and bamboo gombong (Gigantochloa verticillata) in everyday life. This use is done in arts, crafts, agriculture, furniture, food, medicine, construction, collections, ornamental plants, beliefs, and ecology. Gigantochloa apus has the most essential value, with a score of 0.42, meaning this species has the most benefits.

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to collect local knowledge about edible wild plants among villagers in the mountainous region of West Java. Snowball sampling was used to identify informants who could be considered experts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect ethnobotanical data. A total of 88 species of edible wild plants belonging to 70 genera and 45 plant families were recorded. Of these, approximately one-tenth belong to the Asteraceae family. More than half of the plants are herbaceous. The parts of each species considered food vary, from the vegetative structures to the immature reproductive organs. Fruits and leaves are mostly used. Most of the plants listed are eaten raw. Only half of all species are native. The remaining half is made up of exotic species. Among the exotic species, neophytes outnumber archaeophytes. 23 species of wild plants treat 22 medical conditions. Only 13 plants were available for sale in the local markets. In general, knowledge about edible wild plants is preserved among a small group of custodians and may be declining due to socio-economic and cultural changes, especially the development of tourism and the perception that wild plants are famine food which, in turn, associated with poverty.

Abstract

For generations, the inhabitants of rural people of Pasir Putih Village, Rancakalong Subdistrict, Sumedang Regency, West Java, have relied on medicinal plant to maintain the health of their livestock and treat various illness that may distress their livestock. Nowadays, however, the knowledge and practice of livestock treatment using various medicinal plants in rural areas of Pasir Putih Village has tended to eroded, due to the influence of commercial livestock businesses development. Consequently, to treat various livestock, farmers have to buy various modern medicines from the city and the prices are expensive. In addition, the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), particularly in the young generations has eroded. The aim of this study is to explore and to document the information regarding various ruminant livestock ailments, diversity of plant species used as ethnoveterinary medicine, plant part used and application method applied in treating ruminant ailments, and source of ethnoveterinary medicinal plants in the rural ecosystems of the study area. Method used in this study was mixed-method qualitative and quantitative with an ethnoveterinary medicinal approach. The study resulted showed that during the study recorded 14 common ailments of the ruminants, at least a total of 46 plant species in 41 genera and 17 families were used traditionally and their combination for the treatment of 14 diseases in the study area. Zingiberaceae found to be a dominated family with seven plant species followed by Asteraceae (5 species), Alliacea (5 species), and Fabaceae (5 species). The most commonly used plant parts were leaf (15 species), fruit (11 species), and rhizome (7 species). The wide application of medical plants as the form of drunk (66.67 %), followed by eaten (7.14 %), smeared (7.14 %), and put on (7.14 %). Based on the were the most important medicinal plants used to treat various ruminant ailments Fidelity Level (FL), it was recoded five medical plants, viz., Allium sativum (34.09), Kaempferia galanga (34.09), Zingiber officinale (34.09), Curcuma longa (34.09), and Aloe vera (34.09), in the study area. Regarding source of 46 plant species of ethnoveterinary medical plants was harvested from the homegarden 23 species (50.00 %), garden 11 species (23.91 %), and 12 species (26.05 %) acquired from both homegarden and garden. Thus, the agroecosystem of homegarden and garden are important role not only for the human food production but also livestock feed in the rural ecosystem.
