Open Source for seeds and genetic sequence data: Practical experience and future strategies
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/99481
Abstract
Application of the open source concept to seeds has a promising future. It reverses the logic of the intellectual property system with a renewable stock of open source material kept outside the exclusive intellectual property realm. Legal defensibility may currently be uncertain, but as open source builds a critical mass of…

Human diets drive range expansion of megafauna-dispersed fruit species
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/93073
Abstract
Neotropical fruit species once dispersed by megafauna have regained relevance for diversifying human diets to address malnutrition. Little is known about the historic interactions between humans and these fruit species. We quantified the human role in modifying distribution ranges of Neotropical fruit species by comparing the distribution of fruit…

Abstract
Biodiversity is key for human and environmental health. Available dietary and ecological indicators are not designed to assess the intricate relationship between food biodiversity and diet quality. We applied biodiversity indicators to dietary intake data from and assessed associations with diet quality of women and young…
