The UV and MAV indices. The index of Species’ Use Value (UV; N = 25 informants), adapted from Tardío and Pardo-de-Santayana [36], and the index of Species’ Medicinal Applications Value that we developed (MAV; N = 20 ICD categories of diseases and other health problems) for the 19 species mentioned in the semi-structured interviews. The Spearman Rank Order Correlation coefficient was as follows: r = 0.743, r² = 0.552, p = 0.0003, N = 25 informants. See Table 2 for details on the species.
