1 Genomics in the Discovery and Monitoring

as priorities for managing marine biodiversity in the future: first, elucidating the
link between diversity and ecosystem function, and second, undertaking empirical
studies that demonstrate that increased biodiversity can enhance simultaneously and
stabilize various measures of ecosystem functioning (Worm et al. 2006, Danovaro
et al. 2008). Our belief is that genomics will play a pivotal role in both elements of
such activity.
