Abstract

Biodiversity of Microbial Life places the importance and novelty of the diversity of the microbial world in perspective with the biodiversity of plants and animals. Microbial diversity has driven the evolution of all life on Earth as well as the nutrient cycles, which are key to the operation of the biosphere. Microorganisms live in all ecosystems, even extreme environments not habitable to other organisms. Noted experts including Carl Woese, the originator of the Tree of Life, and Rita Colwell, who is now Director of the National Science Foundation, offer their unique perspectives on the extent and importance of microbial biodiversity. Special emphasis is placed on: * Evolution, speciation, and contrasts between microbial biodiversity and plant and animal biodiversity * Physiological and metabolic diversity of microorganisms * Biodiversity of microbial life in terrestrial and marine environments * Symbioses between microorganisms and plants, insects, and humans * Extreme environments populated exclusively or primarily by microorganisms including thermal vents and hot springs, polar sea ice environments, and subterranean ecosystems * Microorganisms and biotechnology Biodiversity of Microbial Life is an essential resource for all biologists interested in biodiversity.

Abstract

This volume advances the claim that the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) adopted in 2001 is the only existing international agreement with the potential to promote food security, conservation of biodiversity and equity. However, for germplasm-rich countries, national interests come into conflict with the global interest. This work shows that the pursuit of national interests is counterproductive when it comes to maintaining genetic resources, food-security and rent-seeking and that optimally, the coverage of the FAO Treaty should be widened to apply to all crops.

Abstract

La notion de diversité du vivant n'a guère été étudiée jusqu'ici. Si on accepte qu'elle inclût également la diversité humaine, il s'agit cependant d'un concept majeur. Avec la mondialisation des échanges et les réveils identitaires et nationalitaires, la gestion de la diversité s'avère ainsi particulièrement importante et urgente. Analysée du milieu du XVI le siècle à aujourd'hui, la diversité humaine - car c'est à elle qu'on se réfère essentiellement - sera interprétée successivement selon deux schémas réducteurs : en un premier temps, la réduction s'effectuera en fonction d'arborescences hiérarchiques, stables dans un temps immuable ; dans un deuxième temps, au contraire, le temps est vectorisé et donne sens aux changements et aux événements. Les structures en arbres s'inscrivent d'abord dans une herméneutique délimitée par des moments originaires et légitimée par l'historicité des êtres et de leurs propriétés. Aujourd'hui, par contre, les rapports au sein des communautés humaines s'insèrent progressivement dans des réseaux inscrits dans une dynamique temporelle rendant peu à peu caduques les représentations hiérarchiques traditionnelles.
