- Chromosomes can hop from one pathogenic fungus to another. Probably not a good thing.
- Dogs originated in the Middle East after all. Decide, already, will ya?
- IUCN also has a Protected Area of the Day. Genebank of the day, anyone?
- Problems with bananas in Uganda surprisingly mainly abiotic. Live and learn.
- Vaviblog celebrates Gary Nabhan’s birthday. Kinda. Which is also St Patrick’s Day? How cool is that?
- Report on Haiti’s seed security. Needs digesting.

New Tangled Bank
From the latest Tangled Bank blog carnival, a couple of relevant pieces. Felicia gives a personal account of her fascination with honeybees and there’s an account of the domestication of the dog (which I can’t seem to access). Lots more that is interesting, but not relevant to agricultural biodiversity.

Thank you for the trackback. I’m sorry you were not able to access the blog. I don’t know why that is. I’ve not get any kind of privacy settings on it, and according to the stats a number of others were able to read it. I will investigate though and see if I can resolve the problem.
Don’t bother; I’m pretty sure it is something to do with where I am.
I didn’t have any trouble. BTW, we’ve blogged a coupl eof times ourselves about dog domestication (and indeed the domestication of other animals). We’d be interested in your comments.
