This book, published by the National Academies Press in 2008, represents the findings of a workshop held by the US Geological Survey and the National Research Council (NRC) to identify research needed into the ecological effects of genetically engineered organisms (GEOs) on wildlife and habitats. The use of GEOs is established in agricultural crop production, and research is underway to develop a wider range of them (including fish, trees, microbes, and insects) that could transform aquaculture, biofuels production and pharmaceuticals. The hardcopy version can be purchased, but the full text can be read free online in both HTML and PDF formats.
