For cognitive scientists, ethnobiology constitutes a domain that allows exploration of the developing mind in phylogenetic and ontogenetic terms. Anthropologists show particular concern with the development, maintenance, and change of ethnobiological knowledge and the resulting consequences for behavior. Research in this area relates work from the cognitive sciences with studies on institutions and behavior in relation to resource management and conflict over natural resources. Closely related to these questions are those that concern the acquisition, transmission, and transformation of knowledge, children's learning, transmission and transformation of knowledge across cultures and generations, and the loss of biological knowledge. These different questions link anthropology to broader work in education, political science, and research topics such as globalization, ontology, and practice theory. Addressing those issues, questions of ethnobiology and cognition connect to theoretical questions about culture and cultural processes.
