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

Medicinal plants have been widely used for public health maintenance. Ethnic traditional medicine traditions can be used as a reference for the discovery of new medicines from natural ingredients. The Osing tribe that inhabits several areas in Banyuwangi Regency, including in Kabat District, Singojuruh District and Rogojampi District, has traditional medicine passed down by their ancestors and has not been well documented. The purpose of this ethnopharmaceutical study is to document the knowledge of traditional medicine of the Osing tribe and identify plant species used for medicine. Traditional medicine knowledge was carried out by semi-structural interviews using open-ended questions with 24 informants. Data were analyzed with the value of Used Value (UV) and Informant Consensus Factor (ICF). The results of the study recorded 30 types of plants, nine types of animals and four types of minerals used by the Osing tribe for treatment. Plants that have UV values above 0.5 are Curcuma longa (1,208), Stenosemia aurita (Sw) C. presl (0.625), and Moringa oleifera (0.625). The parts of the plant that were widely used were leaves (36.39%), rhizomes (20.65%) and fruit (18.68%).

Abstract

The corms and culms of tèkay (Eleocharis dulcis, family Cyperaceae) have been used by the people in Madura for a long time, but have never been clearly disclosed in the previous publication. The purpose of this study is to examine the botanical economy including the use and socio-economic value of tèkay on the island of Madura. Exploration and specimen collection were carried out from July to August 2016 and January to March 2017 in four districts, namely Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep. Economic botanical data was obtained through open interviews with tèkay seekers and collectors, the shops and seller tèkay chips, and the home industry produce tèkay chips. All data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that there were two morphological variations of tèkay in Madura Island which could be distinguished based on the color of corms and culms, the shape of sterile bractea, the shape, color, and tifh hairs of the achene. This variation is a new record for the E. dulcis in Madura Island. Apart from tèkay, the Madurese know E. dulcis by several other local names: rebbha telenteyan, lhok colo'an, tèkay grobhog, tet cetet, and rokos. The corms of tèkay are used as an ingredient for making chips, dodol, porridge, and stew snacks; the culms are used as cattle feed. Direct economic value is obtained from the use of corms into tèkay chips.
