The EOS also requires substantial immigration of workers into a remote and ecologically important region with little social infrastructure for basic security, food security, health-care and education, causing frequently ignored costs.
Recent concerns about the ecohydrological impacts to these large northern peatlands resulting from climate change and resource extraction have catalyzed a resurgence in scientific research into this ecologically important region.
In doing so, it will stop the wholesale destruction of some of America's most beautiful and ecologically significant regions.
Third, if ecological divergence has a genetic basis, it should be associated with divergence in genomic regions underlying ecologically important traits, such as bill shape in nightingales.
The nearshore zone is ecologically important as a highly productive region that provides important ecosystem goods and services [2], [39] [43], but it is also most impacted and used by humans [44] [47], with about 60% of the world population living along coasts and bays [48].
Other ecologically important species in the area are: Pseudolachnostylis maprouneifolia, Pterocarpus angolensis and Diplorhynchus condylocarpon.
Big sagebrush is one of the most abundant, widespread, and ecologically important woody shrub species in the intermountain regions of western North America.
Given our near-comprehensive coverage of the muscid fauna of Churchill, it will now be possible to use DNA barcodes to identify many individuals within this abundant and ecologically important family within Churchill and other northern regions.
Initiatives to digitize all remaining records of marine species from the region, in particularly for ecologically important groups such as the corals and sponges, will allow scientists to advise policy makers regarding conservation planning.
Furthermore, understanding the genetic relationships within ecologically important species or species complexes from geographically disparate regions has become an important issue in light of climate change and the novel selection pressures that may result [ 35- 37].
