Dyer has described the evolution of maize in socio-economic terms and uncovered the poorly understood effect of formal and informal maize seed exchange in Mexico. Recently Dyer concluded two landmark studies that show that the evolution of maize seeds results from the actions and reactions of small farmers to seed availability, quality, and external economic pressures. His multidisciplinary work has been widely recognized as being in the forefront of efforts to bring social and biological scientists together to seek strategies to make economic development more compatible with the preservation of nature and the environment.
