- Management increases genetic diversity of honey bees via admixture. No domestication bottleneck there!
- Enhancing innovation in livestock value chains through networks: Lessons from fodder innovation case studies in developing countries. Fodder innovators of the world, organize. If you don’t, you will lose your value chains.
- Introduction to special issue on agricultural biodiversity, ecosystems and environment linkages in Africa. Special issues? What special issue?
- The construction of an alternative quinoa economy: balancing solidarity, household needs, and profit in San Agustín, Bolivia. Despite the allure of fancy denominations of origin and the like, old-fashioned cooperatives, and the much-maligned intermediary, manage to hang on in there.
- Species–genetic diversity correlations in habitat fragmentation can be biased by small sample sizes. Can.
- The original features of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genetic diversity and the importance of within-variety diversity in the highlands of Madagascar build a strong case for in situ conservation. Actually the way I read it, the stronger case is for ex situ. But see what you think.
- Population structure of the primary gene pool of Oryza sativa in Thailand. In situ Strikes Back.
Introduction to agricultural biodiversity in Africa.
Missing special issue apart, why is `biodiversity’ defined with reference only to Vandermeer and Perfecto and agricultural biodiversity defined but not referenced at all? How can we rely on anyone citing Zhu et al. 2000 uncritically? Where is an account of all the critically important pests and diseases within agricultural biodiversity? What does this mean: “Land uses under crops reduced spore abundance than species richness and diversity”? Does anyone out there believe the value of the cited paper UN 2010 (the de Schutter report in praise of agroecology)?
Africa deserves better.
