 Capparidaceae; Flora of Wiscon­sin; Flora of the Sierra de Manantlan, Jalisco, Mexico (the home of Zea diploperennis Iltis,

 Doebley and Guzman).

 

Systematics and the origin of maize (Zea) through selection by primitive agriculturists by way of

 morphologically and physiologically peculiar sexual translocations.

 

Conservation of species and ecosystems, environmentally protective legislation; Environmental

 preservation of natural areas in Wisconsin and the neotropics.

 

Human ecology, concepts of the "optimum human environment", i.e., innate human adaptations to

 relationship of these to biotic preservation (cf. Iltis, Loucks and Andrews, Bull. Atomic Scientists,

 1970).

 

Preservation of genetic diversity in indigenous crops and their ancestral species, and their destruction
