I share with you two articles that advance Ethnobotany Theory.
Albuquerque, U.P., de Medeiros, P.M., Ferreira Júnior, W.S., da Silva, T.C., da Silva, R.R.V., Gonçalves-Souza, T., 2019. Social-Ecological Theory of Maximization: Basic Concepts and Two Initial Models. Biological Theory.
AND
Gaoue, O.G., Coe, M.A., Bond, M., Hart, G., Seyler, B.C., McMillen, H., 2017. Theories and Major Hypotheses in Ethnobotany. Economic Botany 71, 269-287.
I recently came across Orou Gaoue et al.’s (2017) ‘Theories and Major Hypotheses in Ethnobotany’. It is a useful recap of major theories. I plan to incorporate it into ethnobotanyR.

Hi Cory Whitney
We have revisited some of ideas published in Gaoue et al (2017) to accommodate into the new theory.
It is great to see such development/interest in this field. If sustained, I anticipate that meta-analyses on clear ethnobotanical research questions will become common in near future. In the meantimes it is critically important to encourage further discussion about the role of theory in ethnobotanical research and suggest clear framework to move the discipline forward.
Some of you may be interested in our forthcoming paper "Philosophy of Ethnobiology: Understanding Knowledge Integration and Its Limitations" in the Journal of Ethnobiology

hi, thanks so much for the article. I'll do the reading and later we can discuss it.
