Advances in biotechnology mean that it may soon be possible to recreate previously extinct species. This has led to an emerging debate within bioethics about whether we ought to reintroduce extinct species into our ecosystems. In this paper, we discuss the role that biodiversity could play in this debate.

Science, 2003
Assuming no radical transformation in human behavior, we can expect important changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services by 2050. A considerable number of species extinctions will have taken place. Existing large blocks of tropical forest will be much reduced and fragmented, but temperate forests and some tropical forests will be stable or ...

Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2004
AbstractComplex structures produced by noncatalyzed multi‐step chemical processes must have highly probable origins and assembly routes. Within any frame of reference, life is easily the most‐complex self‐assembled structure known to man. It is not possible to calculate a finite time for biogenesis by statistical mechanics, but the abundance of life ...

Is there a good biodiversity and a bad biodiversity ?
2009La croyance qu’il y a une bonne biodiversité opposée à une mauvaise biodiversité est répandue parmi les défenseurs de la conservation de la nature militants et chez certains scientifiques de l’écologie. La bonne biodiversité est indigène alors que la mauvaise est allogène, constituée d’espèces immigrantes dépréciées comme « opportunistes ...
