14th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE BIOSAFETY OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Past, Present and Future Guadalajara, México, 4–8 June 2017 th 14 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE BIOSAFETY OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS Sponsors We would like to thank the following sponsors for providing support to organize the ISBGMO14 in Guadalajara, Mexico 2 th 14 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE BIOSAFETY OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS Welcome Note Foreword from the Chair of the Local Organizing Committee of ISBGMO14 I would like to welcome you all to ISBGMO14 in June 2017, in the beautiful city of Guadalajara, in central Mexico. Even though in Mexico we started early to use biotechnology –we had our first experimental field trial in 1988– we have not really been able to fully benefit from the advantages of this technology as can be seen from the fact that we use GM-cotton, some GM soybeans, but in the case of maize, certainly our most important crop, we have only been able to carry out field releases at the experimental and pilot phase stage, but never reached commercial releases. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated occurrence as many other countries are still debating whether or not to use the technology, mainly because unfounded fears and distrust of the technology. Therefore, the ISBGMO14 symposium, with its theme "Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms: past, present and future", may shed some light into the ways we need to move forward, and use the new and exciting technologies being developed. During the symposium we will be listening to experts talk about the lessons from the past, review our current status, and discuss exciting new tools such as genome editing, gene drives, and the use of iRNA technology, this in turn may help us ensure that this time we will be riding the wagon of biotechnology instead of just looking it move away from us. Ariel Alvarez-Morales – LOC Chair Foreword from the President of Internatioal Society for Biosafety Research (ISBR) In welcoming you all to ISBGMO14 in Guadalajara, I am prompted to remind you of the ISBR mission, part of which reads ‘to promote the practice and application of science in the fields of agricultural biotechnology and environmental risk analysis’. I can think of no time during my career when the need to defend the practice and application of sound science has been more important, or the threat to evidence-based action and policy has been greater. Last Sunday my newspaper, under the headline ‘Standing Up For The Facts’ showed pictures of a huge rally in London, part of a global march against what the demonstrators see as the promulgation of ‘alternative facts’ by populist politicians who ignore scientific evidence. To quote further from the ISBR mission, ‘promoting scientifically sound research’ and ‘fostering communication and technical exchange among experts’ has, in these times of ‘fake news’, taken on a renewed urgency and a more crucial significance. And of course, the relevance and importance of ISBR in providing a platform for constructive dialogue between scientists, regulators, policy-makers and others involved in the safe application of biotechnology, has never been greater. So, if you are not a member, do join us. Help us to strengthen the role of high quality research in biosafety assessments – you could begin by really getting involved in ISBGMO14; challenge assumptions and ask questions (however naïve you feel them to be, no-one will mind). I look forward to meeting you.

In order to establish an effective control method against this pest, a study of the abundance of larvae L .orbonalis according to phenological stages of eggplant was conducted in the locality of Azaguié, in Guinean area of Côte d'Ivoire. Investigations were carried out from October 2013 to June 2014. The method used were to a weekly counting of larvae on three varieties of the specie Solanum th aethiopicum ( Djamba F 1, Kotobi and N'drowa issia) from 21 day after transplanting until the end of the harvest. All varieties recorded larvae during three phenological stages. The three varieties recorded more larvae at the fruiting stage than at the flowering and stage before flowering with 123.38 ± 4.09; 114.33 ± 4.22 and 106.18 ± 4.25 larvae per 24 plants respectively on Djamba F 1 , Kotobi and N’drowa issia.

    Crambidae Biosecurity Occurrence Background Subfamilies Short Description Diagnosis

    Diaphania nitidalis Chilo infuscatellus Crambidae Webworms, Grass Moths, Shoot Borers Biosecurity BIOSECURITY ALERT This Family is of Biosecurity Concern Occurrence This family occurs in Australia. Background The Crambidae is a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of moths that currently comprises 11,500 species globally, with at least half that number again undescribed. The Crambidae and the Pyralidae constitute the superfamily Pyraloidea. Crambid larvae are concealed feeders with a great diversity in feeding habits, shelter building and hosts, such as: leaf rollers, shoot borers, grass borers, leaf webbers, moss feeders, root feeders that shelter in soil tunnels, and solely aquatic life habits. Many species are economically important pests in crops and stored food products. Subfamilies Until recently, the Crambidae was treated as a subfamily under the Pyralidae (snout moths or grass moths). Now they form the superfamily Pyraloidea with the Pyralidae. The Crambidae currently consists of the following 14 subfamilies: Acentropinae Crambinae Cybalomiinae Glaphyriinae Heliothelinae Lathrotelinae Linostinae Midilinae Musotiminae Odontiinae Pyraustinae Schoenobiinae Scopariinae Spilomelinae Short Description Crambid caterpillars are generally cylindrical, with a semiprognathous head and only primary setae (Fig 1). They are often plainly coloured (Fig. 16, Fig. 19), but can be patterned with longitudinal stripes and pinacula that may give them a spotted appearance (Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 14, Fig. 22). Prolegs may be reduced in borers (Fig. 16). More detailed descriptions are provided below. This factsheet presents, firstly, diagnostic features for the Pyraloidea (Pyralidae and Crambidae) and then the Crambidae. Information and diagnostic features are then provided for crambids listed as priority biosecurity threats for northern Australia.
  • Shades of Denialism

    Shades of Denialism

    Shades of Denialism Lauren E. Cagle University of South Florida ~ [email protected] Carl Herndl University of South Florida ~ [email protected] Abstract Journalists and scholars have been writing about the phenomenon of climate denialism since the late 1990s. These exposés of climate denialism focus on how controversy has been manufactured by the oil, gas and coal industries and the think tanks and policy institutes they underwrite. In exposing these tactics, critics tend to portray climate deniers as a homogeneous group of ideologues, scoundrels and dupes. We argue that climate denialism or climate skepticism is a more nuanced cultural formation that has complex sources, ideological commitments, and rhetorical expressions. This argument follows recent analyses turning primarily to ideology, political affiliation, and personal values to explain denialism and skepticism in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence (McCright & Dunlap, 2011; Poortinga, Spence, Whitmarsh, Capstick, & Pidgeon, 2011; Whitmarsh, 2011). Using analyses primarily of online spaces, such as comments on news stories and discussion threads on the forum- based site Reddit, this paper will identify multiple shades of denialism and skepticism as they emerge in a variety of forums. We plot these variations on a theme on a map organized by the degree to which a position emerges form a scientific background and the strength of its skepticism. This paper argues that if we are to address the crucial problem of climate denialism, we need a better understanding of not only the political and economic, but also the rhetorical and social nuances of the problem. Shades of Denialism In a recent review essay in The Atlantic Magazine, Charles Mann recounts the stalemate between ecologists and economists over how to address global climate change.

Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenée, 1854) Lepidoptera The Brinjal fruit Crambidae (Superfamily Pyraloidea). and shoot borer Notes on taxonomy: Pycnarmon discerptalis (Hampson) has been suggested as a possible synonym but opinions on this vary. BAYER CODE: LEUIOR 2. What is the reason for the PRA? There have been many interceptions of this species in the UK. Between June 1999 and May 2006, there were 40 finds. The majority of interceptions have been on Solanum melongena (aubergine), but L. orbonalis has also been intercepted on Solanum melongena var. serpentinum (snake-shaped eggplant), Solanum torvum (devils-fig), Syzygium cumini (black olum tree) and Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis (cow pea/black eyed pea). Most recent interceptions have been on produce imported from either India or Thailand, with the remaining interceptions from Bangladesh, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and 4 of unknown origin (Annex 1). The number of interceptions per month is randomly dispersed1 (X2 =18.2, 11df) (Annex 1). 3. What is the PRA area? This PRA considers the whole EPPO region concentrating on the European and Mediterranean area, i.e. EPPO west of the Ural mountains. STAGE 2: PEST RISK ASSESSMENT 4. Does the pest occur in the PRA area or does it arrive regularly as a natural migrant? L. orbonalis does not occur in the PRA area, nor does it arrive as a natural migrant. However, it is occasionally detected in consignments of produce imported into the UK (see 2).
  • What Is at Stake in Democratizing Knowledge?

    What Is at Stake in Democratizing Knowledge?

    Forthcoming in Foundations of Science Identifying Difference, Engaging Dissent: What is at Stake in Democratizing Knowledge? Loren King1, Brandon Morgan­Olsen2, and James Wong3 Abstract Several prominent voices have called for a democratization of science through deliberative processes that include a diverse range of perspectives and values. We bring these scholars into conversation with extant research on democratic deliberation in political theory and the social sciences. In doing so, we identify systematic barriers to the effectiveness of inclusive deliberation in both scientific and political settings. We are particularly interested in what we call misidentified dissent, where deliberations are starkly framed at the outset in terms of dissenting positions without properly distinguishing the kinds of difference and disagreement motivating dissent. The creation of cognitive democracy, of democratic science, is as much a matter of conflict and hope as is the creation of political democracy. Helen Longino, “Subjects, Power and Knowledge” 1. Introduction Several recent voices in epistemology and the philosophy of science have called for a democratic turn in understanding how we seek and gain knowledge. Philip Kitcher calls for inclusion of all relevant parties in an “enlightened democracy” of knowledge production, where participants are carefully tutored to avoid “the danger of holding inquiry hostage to capricious and irrational desires” (Kitcher 2003, 124), but are nonetheless motivated by respect for other views 1 Department of Political Science, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 2 Department of Philosophy, Loyola University Chicago, Illinois, USA 3 Department of Philosophy, Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario, Canada 1 (118­119). In this way, Kitcher hopes parties will transform their beliefs and preferences in light of compelling evidence and persuasive argument, while taking seriously a diversity of perspectives and interests.
