Peter, 1988) brought the notion of biodiversity to the attention of a wide field of scientists and others. [GBA] |

synonyme de diversité biologique (voir : diversité biologique). La forme contractée “biodiversité” est due apparemment à W.G. Rosen (1985) lors de la première réunion du “Forum national sur la biodiversité” qui s’est tenu à Washington D.C. (septembre 1986) et dont les comptes-rendus (E.O. Wilson et F.M. Peter, 1988) ont portés le concept de biodiversité à l’attention d’un vaste champ de scientifiques, entre autres secteurs. [GBA] |
