  • Biological Diversity in the Patent System
    Biological Diversity in the Patent System Paul Oldham1,2*, Stephen Hall1,3, Oscar Forero1,4 1 ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen), Lancaster University, Lancaster, United Kingdom, 2 Institute of Advanced Studies, United Nations University, Yokohama, Japan, 3 One World Analytics, Lancaster, United Kingdom, 4 Centre for Development, Environment and Policy, SOAS, University of London, London, United Kingdom Abstract Biological diversity in the patent system is an enduring focus of controversy but empirical analysis of the presence of biodiversity in the patent system has been limited. To address this problem we text mined 11 million patent documents for 6 million Latin species names from the Global Names Index (GNI) established by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Encyclopedia of Life (EOL). We identified 76,274 full Latin species names from 23,882 genera in 767,955 patent documents. 25,595 species appeared in the claims section of 136,880 patent documents. This reveals that human innovative activity involving biodiversity in the patent system focuses on approximately 4% of taxonomically described species and between 0.8–1% of predicted global species. In this article we identify the major features of the patent landscape for biological diversity by focusing on key areas including pharmaceuticals, neglected diseases, traditional medicines, genetic engineering, foods, biocides, marine genetic resources and Antarctica. We conclude that the narrow focus of human innovative activity and ownership of genetic resources is unlikely to be in the long term interest of humanity. We argue that a broader spectrum of biodiversity needs to be opened up to research and development based on the principles of equitable benefit-sharing, respect for the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, human rights and ethics.

There are few reports of cloacal mycobiota on wild reptiles, and in particular, fungal presence and function in Caiman latirostris remains unknown. Our objective was to describe the fungal community present in the cloaca of wild female broad-snouted caimans during their reproductive season determine whether the number of fungi has some relationship with the female’s corporeal condition. Fungi were found in 9 out of 13 cloacal samples and 14 species of fungi were isolated and identified. Three of the species isolated had the highest occurrence values, and 2 of them are pathogenic. In this case, body condition index had no relationship with fungal frequency; the fungi found in this study may have originated from soil habitat and nest substrate that are in constant contact with the cloaca of the C.

[23] in the Text). The amino acid residues at positions 149 are predicted signal peptide. Conserved Cu-binding regions are boxed, and bold characters in the box represent the Cu-binding residues. Shaded nucleotide sequences represent introns. Sequences with wavy underline indicate the targets of primers used in PCR amplification of the gene.
