Mutation of Cultural Information on the Use of Plant Complexes in Local Medical Systems. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2020 Despite being an affable strategy of adaptive expectation, the transmission of cultural information can result in unintended changes in the information. This is known as “mutation” in the theory of cultural evolution. The occurrence of information mutations in local medical systems may be greater in some situations.

What Factors Guide the Selection of Medicinal Plants in a Local Pharmacopoeia? A Case Study in a Rural Community from a Historically Transformed Atlantic Forest Landscape. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2018 The criteria that local people use for selecting medicinal plants have been a recurrent topic in pharmacology and ethnobotany. Two of the current hypotheses regarding this phenomenon, ecological apparency and diversification, attempt to explain the inclusion of “apparent” and “non‐apparent” and native and exotic taxa, respectively, in local ...
