The desperate ordeal often faced by refugees and migrants in large movements, together with the recognition that these movements have political, economic, social, developmental, humanitarian and human rights ramifications that cross all borders, call for global approaches and global solutions.
In other molluscan groups, there is evidence that some developmental changes within specific cell lineages will have ramifications for later development events (Moor 1983; van den Biggelaar and Haszprunar 1996; van den Biggelaar et al. 1997; Dictus and Damen 1997; Lindberg and Guralnick 2003).
These studies capture a core structural feature of reciprocal causation namely, selective feedback but typically without truly embracing its full ramifications; specifically, without recognizing that this means that developmental processes can initiate and co-direct evolutionary outcomes.
These findings needed to be corroborated in the light of the fact that this secondary school age is a critical developmental stage in the life of an individual and carries various ramifications for the health and well-being of the individual, social cohesion, and the economic prosperity of a nation.
The developmental neurotoxicity of organophosphate pesticides represents a biological conundrum that has important ramifications for human exposures (for review see Colborn 2006; Costa 2006; Landrigan 2001; Mileson et al. 1998; Slotkin 2005; Weiss et al. 2004).
