Researchers have become increasingly concerned with the relation between traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and academic ecological knowledge (AEK). TEK includes complex predictive resources that often remain insufficiently reflected in ecological research, conservation practices, and ecosystem services. At the same time, knowledge integration comes with methodological and political challenges of negotiating differences between knowledge systems. In this article, we provide evidence from different scales (population, community, and ecosystems) about how TEK and AEK can be related when addressing the same phenomena. Finally, we discuss the possibilities of relating TEK and AEK through a perspective of complementarity of knowledge, taking existing differences as opportunities for dialogue.

研究人员越来越关注传统生态知识（TEK）与学术生态知识（AEK）之间的关系。TEK包含复杂的预测资源，而这些资源通常仍未充分反映在生态研究，保护实践和生态系统服务中。同时，知识整合伴随着协商知识系统之间差异的方法和政治挑战。在本文中，我们提供了来自不同规模（人口，社区和生态系统）的证据，说明在解决相同现象时如何将TEK和AEK关联起来。最后，我们从知识的互补性角度讨论将TEK和AEK联系起来的可能性，并将现有的差异作为对话的机会。
