- 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].”
- Integrated Seed Sector Development in Africa: A Conceptual Framework for Creating Coherence Between Practices, Programs, and Policies (2012, background): “…are also contradictory examples of situations where farmers have an insightful understanding of crop reproduction systems, as can be seen in the case of sorghum in Cameroon (Alvarez et al. 2005), maize in Mexico (Louette, Charrier, & Berthaud 1997), and cassava in Brazil (Emperaire & Peroni 2007).”
- Human settlement and baobab distribution in south‐western Mali (2007, background): “Unlike wild populations, human geography is more important than spatial proximity in their population biology because of human seed dispersal and fruit selection (Zimmerer, 1998; Maranz & Wiesman, 2003; Alvarez et al., 2005; Assogbadjo et al., 2005; Sanou et al., 2005).”
- Seed exchanges, a key to analyze crop diversity dynamics in farmer-led on-farm conservation (2011, background): “Some studies reveal less frequent longdistance exchanges (up to 150 km for sorghum in Cameroon (Alvarez et al. 2005).”
- Plant Genetic Resources Conservation and Utilization: The Accomplishments and Future of a Societal Insurance Policy (2006, background): “In such circumstances, it is important to understand the way in which farmers handle their seed stocks (Perales et al., 2003b; Alvarez et al., 2005).”
