Domestication and Diversity in Manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz ssp. esculenta, Euphorbiaceae) (2008, methodology): “The research program started with a study of manioc varietal diversity in relation to the ecology of slash-and-burn agrosystems and the properties of indigenous taxonomic systems (Elias, Rival, and McKey 2000).”
Seed exchanges, a key to analyze crop diversity dynamics in farmer-led on-farm conservation (2011, background): “Elias et al. (2000) share the same point of view when they describe perception of diversity among Makushi Amerindians of Guyana community: ‘‘Indigenous botanical knowledge, elements of plants genetics and ecology, emphasizes that diversity cannot be reduced to a finite stock of well defined,…”
Traditional management of cassava morphological and genetic diversity by the Makushi Amerindians (Guyana, South America): Perspectives for on-farm conservation of crop genetic resources (2004, methodology): “Interviews, questionnaires, observations and participatory observations were conducted, in order to understand cultivation practices (Elias et al., 2001).”
Chemical ecology in coupled human and natural systems: people, manioc, multitrophic interactions and global change (2010, background): “…are very different from the long-fallow cultivation of bitter manioc on poor soils, the context in which bitter manioc farming is usually studied today (e.g. Elias et al. 2000), and are representative of a type of intensive agriculture that may have been much more widespread before the Conquest.”
Origin and domestication of native Amazonian crops. (2010, background): “At the time of harvest, they decide if a given volunteer is worth including among the plants that will be vegetatively propagated [25,32,34,35].”
Social Organization of Crop Genetic Diversity. The G × E × S Interaction Model (2011, background): “Individuals can be further grouped into a priori categories (by gender, age, access to the market, economic status), or a typology resulting from multivariate analysis [14-18].”
