Genome sequencing enables scientists to study genes over time and to test the genetic variability of any form of life, from bacteria to mammals. Thanks to advances in molecular genetics, scientists can now determine an animal's degree of inbreeding or compare genetic variation o…

Roving across UN protocols, botanical collecting histories, Mexican nationalist agendas, neoliberal property regimes and North-South relations, "When Nature Goes Public" charts the myriad, emergent publics that drive and contest the global market in biodiversity and its futures.
Bioprospecting - the exchange of plants for corporate promises of royalties or community development assistance - has been lauded as a way to develop new medicines while offering southern nations and indigenous communities an incentive to preserve their rich biodiversity. But ca…
