Rather than just complaining about how the rest of the natural world fails to give agricultural biodiversity due respect, I decided to bring them all here to see for themselves. My cracking wheeze: host Linnaeus’ Legacy, “A monthly carnival celebrating the diversity of life on this planet, and the methods we use to understand it.” Then, in the onrush of wonderful blog posts about diversity in general, I’ll just slip in a few select agrobiodiversity items to prove that we too have what it takes.

There are many ways to submit posts.

• You can email directly to jcherfas at gmail dot com
• You can email the Carnival’s owner, gerarus at westnet.com.au
• You can use the submission form at Blog Carnival
• You can use our contact form

And they don’t have to be your own posts, they can be things that have struck you as interesting and worth sharing.

I plan to publish on Wednesday 10 December, so there’s still time.

Noodling around Googlespace I’m often brought up short when a published paper is part of JSTOR, because access is restricted to those who can pay for the privilege. ((No matter that your taxes may have already paid for the research.)) Now, via the CAPRi blog, comes news that JSTOR is opening itself up to more developing countries through its Developing Nations Access Initiative. Go ahead and ask, if you may be eligible. Meanwhile, we’ll consider relocating ourselves.
