Challenges and opportunities in environmental biosafety research.
Since the first commercial release of genetically modified (GM, also referred to as genetically engineered, GE) crops in the middle of 1990s, the research and development of transgenic biotechnology has made dramatic progress. To date, global cultivation area of GM crops has exceeded 120 million hectares (James, 2009) with extensive cultivation of herbicide-tolerant soybean and canola, insect-r...

متن کاملDisentangling reticulate evolution in an arctic-alpine polyploid complex.
Although polyploidy plays a fundamental role in plant evolution, the elucidation of polyploid origins is fraught with methodological challenges. For example, allopolyploid species may confound phylogenetic reconstruction because commonly used methods are designed to trace divergent, rather than reticulate patterns. Recently developed techniques of phylogenetic network estimation allow for a mor...
متن کاملA re-appraisal of nunatak survival in arctic-alpine phylogeography.
A long standing and at times fervid debate in biogeography revolves around the question whether arctic and high alpine organisms survived Pleistocene ice ages on small island-like areas protruding above the ice-sheet, socalled nunataks, or whether they did so in peripheral nonglaciated refugial areas. A common picture emerging from a plethora of molecular phylogeographic studies in the last dec...
متن کاملThe Challenges and Opportunities of Workflow Systems in Environmental Research
WIRADA environmental science is broad and challenging, involving researchers who historically work alone or in small groups, data sources that are numerous and distributed, and models that are numerous. The WIRADA informatics team conducts research and deploys technologies that advance the overall broad science objectives of WIRADA of which workflow systems are an integral component. The fundam...
