Contributions in Ethnobiology
Contributions in Ethnobiology is a peer-reviewed book series started in 2013 by the Society of Ethnobiology. The series is a forum for publishing original book-length research on past or present relationships of human societies with their biological worlds, supporting the mission of the Society of Ethnobiology. Volumes in the series are data-rich, state-of-the-art studies, which may be either single-authored or edited volumes. The series’ intended readership is interdisciplinary and includes academics and practitioners in archaeology, biology, cultural anthropology, ecology, geography, and pharmacology, among others.
