Overview
Ethnobiology and ethnoecology have become very popular in recent years. Particularly in
the last 25 years, several manuals of methods have been prepared and comprised the most
classical approaches to the subject. However, there have been many advances in research
becauseofinteractionwithdifferentdisciplinesbutalsoduetonew,original,andinteresting
questions. When we published the first edition of Methods and Techniques in Ethnobiology
and Ethnoecology (Springer/Humana Press, 2014), we were focused on presenting to the
reader the most popular and usual approaches as well as the methods of disciplines that
interactwithethnobiology,suchas ecology,microbiology, andphytochemistry.Theinten-
tionwasthateachchaptershouldbeascriptthatwouldallowtheresearchertoknoweachof
the methods described in the literature as well as to make the best choices for their own
research.
The vision for this handbook is to provide the current state-of-the-art methods and
techniques that are applied in the research and related fields of anyone interested in
ethnobiology and ethnoecology. This new volume, besides bringing new and original
aspects of what is found in the literature, fills some of the gaps not covered in volume
1(firstedition).Wedividedthebookinto4partscoveringatotalof21newchapters.Inthe
first part, we approached the most systematic treatment of methods and techniques in
qualitative research. The chapters cover everything from the initial stages of preparing a
research to the initial methods of treating and analyzing the data. In the second part, we
delve into quantitative approaches from a more detailed discussion on the use of the
hypothetico-deductive method and univariate and multivariate statistical approaches in
ethnobiologyresearch.Inthethirdpart,thechaptersaddressthetheoreticalandmethodo-
logicalchallengesofethnobiologyanditsinteractionwithspecificfieldsofknowledge,such
ashistoricalecology.Inthelatterpart,thechaptersprovideadescriptionofmethodsusedin

withthevariousmethodscoveredineachchapter,thehandbookalsoincludesanextensive
bibliographythatdetailsthecurrentliteratureavailableinthefield.
