BATS Centre is a leading competence center studying the effects of biotechnology.
The main application of biotechnology is in farming (green biotechnology) and medicine (red biotechnology). Looking forward, the BATS Centre analyses possible effects on economy, ecology and society.We are heading towards the following goals: that research objectives are adjusted to take account of sustainability, that society is informed of the social effects and can then decide which limits to place.

“Biodiversity”, keyword in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP): From its inception, the SEP was designed so that each entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, our dynamic reference work maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research. [Information of the supplier, modified]

The Hennig Society was founded in 1980 with the expressed purpose of promoting the field of Phylogenetic Systematics. Hennig's idea that groups of organisms, or taxa, should be recognized and formally named only in cases where they are evolutionarily real entities, that is "monophyletic", at first was controversial. It is now the prevailing approach to modern systematics. The Society has a strong international character meeting once a year. The journal Cladistics is the official publication of the ...
