Naive question, but do you think that's a good idea? Many attempts to meddle with biology where I live have backfired - such as introduced biocontrol species becoming pests themselves, human-bred varieties of plants outcompeting the wild ones, stuff like that. Life seems to have a will of its own, I worry that we could make things worse by meddling with an ecosystem's gene pool.
- mrtesthah 2y agoThere could be controlled experiments done in biosphere 2.
- bubblyworld 2y agoMy gut reaction to that is that the real world is way more complex than biosphere 2. It's likely that many keystone species aren't even known to science yet! For instance that recent HN article on "dark fungi".
