Description |
|
| challenge in assessing the impacts of toxic chemicals on ecological systems is the development of predictive linkages between chemically-caused alterations at molecular and biochemical levels of organization and adverse outcomes on ecological systems. This investigative workshop will bring together a multi-disciplinary group of molecular and cell biologists, physiologists, ecologists, mathematicians, computational biologists, and statisticians to explore the challenges and opportunities for developing and implementing models that are specifically designed to mechanistically link between levels of biological organization in a way that can inform ecological risk assessment and ultimately environmental policy and management. The focus will be on predictive systems models in which properties at higher levels of organization emerge from the dynamics of processes occurring at lower levels of organization. |
