(Ethnoecology)

Evaluate the article
This article needs to include more citations for verification. Under the "History" category it is missing several in-line citations. More updated information could be added from more recent articles. More information on ethnobiologists, anthropologists, and other disciplines that relate to this subject can be included to give people a better understanding of how people use ethnoecology, perhaps instead one lump paragraph it can be formatted categorically. For example, American anthropologist and biologist, Darrell A. Posey did work on traditional knowledge of Indigenous people and the International Society of Ethnobiology developed the "ISE Darrell Posey Fellowships for Ethnoecology and Traditional Resource Rights" as a way to encourage understanding of peoples connection and knowledge of the environment that they live in. I don't see any information that ethnoecology is a branch or discipline of Ethnobiology. The first paragraph under History does not give detailed information on how Dr. Hugh Popenoe and how his work is related to ethnoecology itself. It seems to me that this part on Dr.Hugh Popenoe is irrelevant given the insufficient information and lack of connection.This section goes on to explain the work of Dr. Conklin but fails to provide citations. Under epistemological concerns it makes references of "Dove and Carpenter" but doesn't explain who they are or why they are relevant to ethnoecology.
