  • Maya Knowledge and "Science Wars"
    Journal of Ethnobiology 20(2); 129-158 Winter 2000 MAYA KNOWLEDGE AND "SCIENCE WARS" E. N. ANDERSON Department ofAnthropology University ofCalifornia, Riverside Riverside, CA 92521~0418 ABSTRACT.-Knowledge is socially constructed, yet humans succeed in knowing a great deal about their environments. Recent debates over the nature of "science" involve extreme positions, from claims that allscience is arbitrary to claims that science is somehow a privileged body of truth. Something may be learned by considering the biological knowledge of a very different culture with a long record of high civilization. Yucatec Maya cthnobiology agrees with contemporary international biological science in many respects, almost all of them highly specific, pragmatic and observational. It differs in many other respects, most of them highly inferential and cosmological. One may tentatively conclude that common observation of everyday matters is more directly affected by interaction with the nonhuman environment than is abstract deductive reasoning. but that social factors operate at all levels. Key words: Yucatec Maya, ethnoornithology, science wars, philosophy ofscience, Yucatan Peninsula RESUMEN.-EI EI conocimiento es una construcci6n social, pero los humanos pueden aprender mucho ce sus alrededores. Discursos recientes sobre "ciencia" incluyen posiciones extremos; algunos proponen que "ciencia" es arbitrario, otros proponen que "ciencia" es verdad absoluto. Seria posible conocer mucho si investiguemos el conocimiento biol6gico de una cultura, muy difcrente, con una historia larga de alta civilizaci6n. EI conodrniento etnobiol6gico de los Yucatecos conformc, mas 0 menos, con la sciencia contemporanea internacional, especial mente en detallas dcrivadas de la experiencia pragmatica. Pero, el es deferente en otros respectos-Ios que derivan de cosmovisi6n 0 de inferencia logical.

  • Species List February 20 ‒ 28, 2019 | Written by Bob Meinke
    Southern Belize: Birding & Nature | Species List February 20 ‒ 28, 2019 | Written by Bob Meinke Guide Bob Meinke, with expert local lodge naturalists Marvin and Steven, and 9 participants: Kelly, Isaac, Lenore, Harold, Cindy, Richelle, Beth, Nancy, and Joe SUMMARY We enjoyed a scenic and productive trip, starting with the vast freshwater wetlands at Crooked Tree Lagoon, transitioning on to the montane woodlands of the Mountain Pine Ridge, and ending our tour in the broadleaf forests and mangroves of Toledo District at the southern tip of Belize. Working our way down the length of the country increased our exposure to a wide range of habitats, and with it came a nice assortment of resident and migrant bird species as well as other wildlife. Highlights among the resident species included King Vulture, Bare-crowned Antbird, Black-and-white Owl, Yucatan Jay, White-winged Becard, Ruddy Woodcreeper, Eye-ringed Flatbill, Violet Sabrewing, three species of Trogon, and five species of Kingfisher (with multiple, close-in views of American Pygmy a surprising bonus). And while not unexpected, Keel-billed Toucan, Collared Aracari, Bare-throated Tiger Heron, Montezuma Oropendola, Golden -headed Tanager, Barred Antshrike, and Squirrel Cuckoo were all exquisite reminders of the rich colors and morphological diversity that characterize the avifauna of the Neotropics. North American migrants were also plentiful during our visit, and among the many warblers encountered, Blue-winged, Worm-eating, and Prothonotary stood out among the 21 overwintering species we recorded, most of which were just entering full breeding plumage as they readied for their journey north to the U.S.

  • BELIZE-Yucatan Nov2018 for Heatherlea
    HEATHERLEA TRIP REPORT BELIZE AND THE YUCATAN PENINSULA SUNDAY 18TH NOVEMBER – SATURDAY 1ST DECEMBER 2018 Heatherlea Participants: Richard Allan & Alison Holt, Chris Barrett, Doreen Brown, Colin & Ros Hedderwick, Pat Hogarth, Roslyn Knight and Lesley Raven. Heatherlea Guides: Gabor & Andrea Orban, Scott O'Hara. Sunday 18th November Arrival in Cancun, Mexico. Monday 19th November After an exhaustingly long day travelling out to Mexico, we opted for an 8am breakfast with no organised pre-breakfast walk, however several of the group did get out and explore the hotel’s suburban surroundings at dawn of their own accord. The pre-dawn light was accompanied by the sounds of Royal Tern calling over the sea, with a handful of Magnificent Frigatebird seen with them around sunrise. A couple of Caspian Tern were also spotted by a few, mixed in with the Royal Tern group. Pat had taken a stroll along the beach itself and was alone in finding and photographing Killdeer, Black-bellied (Grey) Plover, Semi-palmated Plover and Least Sandpiper. At the pier she also found a Black-crowned Night-Heron and a Snowy Egret! Instead of hitting the beach, Ros and Scott took a wander down the nearby streets looking for warblers in the gardens along from the hotel. Their first birds of the day were Great-tailed Grackle, Hooded Oriole and Tropical Mockingbird. Brown Pelican flew past, seen by those on the terrace and on the beach too. In the trees and bushes lining the street Yellow-throated, Palm and Canada Warbler were seen, with Great Kiskadee perched on the flood lightings of the local technical school.

The dinners and picnic lunches were excellent and our two superb drivers helped things run smoothly. Our local guide knew many of the key birding spots and we soon racked up a great list of sought after species. One of the real highlights was going out on a boat trip from Rio Lagartos where we enjoyed superb views of many water birds, including American Flamingos, Reddish Egrets darting around, terns, pelicans, a Morelet’s Crocodile and even Common Black Hawks sat around looking for a hand out. The dry thorny scrub produced many more species and a special treat was visiting Muyil Ruins where we not only enjoyed some excellent archaeology but also some great wildlife which including 6 Ocellated Turkeys, many other nice birds and an amazing experience with the loudest Yucatan Black Howler monkey in existence.

Here on the Yucatan Peninsula, the nearby habitats such as woodland and mangrove allowed us to both combine wildlife watching and history, as well as swim in the characteristic underground limestone caves filled with water known as cenotes, and float down a beautiful mangrove channel at Sian Ka’an Biosphere Nature Reserve. We saw or heard 171 species of bird including hundreds of American Flamingos and Yucatan’s unique endemics such as the Yucatan Woodpecker, the Yucatan Jay and the Rose-throated Tanager. Spider monkeys were a highlight at Punta Laguna, large Spiny- tailed Iguanas lounged on top of the ancient buildings at Tulum and five Green Turtles were seen while snorkeling at Akumal. We finished our tour in the fishing town of Rio Lagartos, enjoying both sunrise and sunset boat trips to see the egrets, pelicans, terns and waders living amongst the mangroves.

  • Tropical Birding 2013 Yucatán Report
    The YUCATÁN, the LACANDÓN, and COZUMEL 18 Jan–1 Feb 2013 Leader: Michael Retter Photos by Michael Retter There were a couple alterations to the tour this year, and for the better, I think. Cozumel was included as part of the main tour rather than just an extension, and we took a boat ride up into the pristine Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve. As a result, we had good looks at all of the endemic species and most of the endemic subspecies on Cozumel, and enjoyed thrilling ride up the rushing crystal waters of the Río Tzendales. Along the way, we saw some great birds, such as Scaled Pigeon and King Vulture. While birding the Río Usumacinta marshes on the last day, we had the good fortune to be invited by a kindly farmer to drive around on the levees throughout thousands of acres of rice fields, which afforded us some stellar views of immense numbers of birds. We tallied hundreds of herons, egrets, and Fork-tailed Flycatchers, and clouds of thousands of Grassland Yellow-finches. But of course, the awe-inspiring Maya ruins are the main draw for many who come on this tour, and prolonged views of them are practically guaranteed! 18 Jan Arrival in Cancún 19 Jan A. B.

  • Informe Del Proyecto De Monitoreo De Flora Y Fauna De Operation Wallacea Y Pronatura Península De Yucatán En La Reserva De La Biosfera De Calakmul, 2014-2018
    Informe del Proyecto de Monitoreo de Flora y Fauna de Operation Wallacea y Pronatura Península de Yucatán en la Reserva de la Biosfera de Calakmul, 2014-2018 Dra. Kathy Slater, Operation Wallacea Monitoreo de biodiversidad como parte de manejo de áreas protegidas La palabra biosfera fue introducida por la UNESCO para remitir a un área protegida de más de 10,000 hectáreas que contiene una o más zonas biológicas importantes, eso incluye áreas prístinas y vírgenes que no fueron tocadas por el hombre. El propósito de esas reservas se define en 3 partes: conservar la diversidad biológica, desarrollar y servir de modelo como aprovechamiento sostenible del territorio, y proveer áreas para investigaciones medioambientales, monitorización, entrenamiento, educación y turismo sostenible. Para determinar la eficacia de conservación de la diversidad biológica de estas áreas protegidas, es necesario llevar a cabo monitoreo de biodiversidad anualmente (Sutherland, 2006). Por ejemplo, las diferencias entre abundancia y diversidad de especies a través de áreas con diferentes grados de impacto natural o humano pueden determinar el efecto de cambios a un hábitat sobre biodiversidad e indicar área en necesidad de mejorar los esfuerzos de conservación. Una investigación de diversidad de aves en diferentes niveles de selva secundaria en el estado de Campeche, México encontró que muchas especies endémicas de aves no estaban presentes en área impactadas (Smith et al., 2001). De igual forma, un estudio de reptiles en el ejido de Caobas en el estado de Quintana Roo, México, indicó que ambos, abundancia y biodiversidad de los reptiles disminuyó significativamente en bosques de vegetación secundaria comparados con vegetación primaria (Luja et al., 2008).
