Abstract / Description
Bioengineering offers potential advancements in health, manufacturing, and environmental remediation, but without involvement from ecologists and evolutionary biologists the impact of environmental biotechnologies will remain understudied. Ecologists and evolutionary biologists can assess risks and benefits posed by bioengineered organisms in the environment, and develop new technologies that are ecologically and evolutionarily informed.
