The convention on biological diversity: A conventionalist approach
Ecological Economics, 2005The erosion of biological diversity pertains to the category of problems that are brought to the fore in ‘debated universes’. There are scientific controversies about their definition, import and possible solutions and they involve opposing economic interests and political strategies. A ‘convention’–commonly shared values, set of definitions, rules and

Biological Diversity, Soils, and Economics
Science, 1993Terrestrial biological diversity is supported by solar energy captured by plants growing in soil. This soil-based plant productivity also provides the foundation for human societies through production of food and renewable forms of energy. Variations in plant productivity, resulting from differences in inherent soil fertility, variations in climate and

The Biological Origin of Antibody Diversity
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1976Antibody diversity has a compelling fascination for many scientists and over the years speculations have sometimes seemed more numerous than facts. Now the structural basis of antibody specificity is well defined. Amino acid sequences and recently three-dimensional structures of various immunoglobulins provide the most solid basis for discussing the ...
