Communication about genetic editing: CRISPR, between optimism and false expectations
Lluís Montoliu

Abstract: Communication is essential in all areas of society, but communication in science is inescapable. Communicating means sharing, showing, teaching, and transferring knowledge about discoveries, observations, and findings both to colleagues and to society in gene

Biotechnology and communication in democratic societies: Old challenges for a new era
Mª Ángela Bernardo-Álvarez

Abstract: Biotechnological research has made significant progress; however, some of its results are controversial because of their health and environmental risks, and these limit their application because of the precautionary measures applied to them. The dissemination

Transparency is key: Communication in animal research
Emma Martínez

Abstract: The lack of information from institutions and organisations regarding the use of animals in scientific research produces a specialised communication niche which non-scientific groups have exploited to make public opinion sympathetic to them. Public opinion is

Beyond the CSI effect: The keys to good forensic genetics communication
Ángel Carracedo Lourdes Prieto

Abstract: Forensic genetics brings together all the genetic knowledge required to solve specific legal problems. In recent decades new techniques have shown the potential of DNA as a profiling system. These advances have arrived hand in hand with other improvements in

Biotechnology, communication and the public: Keys to delve into the social perception of science
Dominique Brossard

Abstract: The latest biotechnology applications allow for faster and cheaper gene editing than ever before. Many people are calling for a public debate on these issues, including the social, cultural and ethical implications of these applications. On the other hand, th

On analogical knowledge: Metaphors in biotechnology discourse
Vicent Salvador Liern

Abstract: During a period dominated by positivist thinking, metaphors seemed incompatible with science, at least for the most common manifestations of scientific discourse. However, this apparent transgression is now considered essential and even advantageous for the c

What do we mean by diversity? The path towards quantification
Lou Jost

Abstract: The concept of biological diversity has evolved from a simple count of species to more sophisticated measures that are sensitive to relative abundances and even to evolutionary divergence times between species. In the course of this evolution, diversity measu

Beyond counting species: A new way to look at biodiversity

Abstract: In modern ecology, the traditional diversity indices (usually of richness, abundance, and species evenness) have been highly revealing and useful for monitoring community and ecosystem processes. However, around two decades ago, a pioneering research team not

Life in extreme conditions: The paradox of antarctic marine biodiversity

Abstract: The study of pristine places is very important for learning about the state of the oceans before the impact of human beings. Due to the extreme environmental conditions of the Antarctic continental shelf – its distance from other continents, depth, and the we

Marine biodiversity in space and time: What tiny fossils tell
Moriaki Yasuhara

Abstract: Biodiversity has been changing both in space and time. For example, we have more species in the tropics and less species in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, constituting the latitudinal diversity gradient, one of the patterns we can see most consistently in

The map of biodiversity: From local to global scales
María Antón-Pardo

Abstract: Species richness is not homogeneous in space and it normally presents differences when comparing among different sites. These differences often respond to gradients in one or several factors which create biodiversity patterns in space and are scale-dependent.

Natural enemies and biodiversity: The double-edged sword of trophic interactions
Alexandre Mestre Robert D. Holt

Abstract: Natural enemies, that is, species that inflict harm on others while feeding on them, are fundamental drivers of biodiversity dynamics and represent a substantial portion of biodiversity as well. Along the life history of the Earth, natural enemies have been i

Defining nature: Competing perspectives: Between nativism and ecological novelty
Mark Davis

Abstract: In the 1980s, three sub-disciplines of ecology emerged – restoration ecology, conservation biology, and invasion biology – and all three embraced the nativism paradigm. By the early 2000s, historians, sociologists, and philosophers interested in the developme

Rethinking conservation: Towards a paradigm shift
Alejandro Martínez-Abraín

Abstract: Between the mid-1980s and the present day, conservation biology split into two almost independent fields: management ecology and conservation ecology. We have witnessed the recovery of large endangered species and a decrease in small and common species. In ad
